HEAVY LOSS INFLICTED.


PEKING. April 2S.-The report OF General
Rettler received here from Kiu-Lu. differs
from the other reports concerning the Ger
man-French expedition previously received.
General Kettler's report shows that the
Chinese troops did not leave the province
till they were forced to do so. The entire
brigade commanded by General Kettler
met the enemy on April % and inflicted i'm
nense loss upon them. TIE report does
not give this loss. The Germans had one
officer and three soldiers killed and twenty
eight soldiers wounded. The Chinese were
forced to leave the province and were fully
demoraIized. The French authorities stated
that the Chinese had crossed the border of
the province on April 1e. in which case they
must have subsequently returned

LATROBE, Pa, April 2S-To-night it is
rumored that in fire which destroyed the
t.pple, boiler house and engine house of the
Dorothy coal and coke plant of the Amer
lean Steel and Wire Company four and
possibly six miners lost their lives. AT this
time the rumor cannot be verified. The
loss is estimated at Sl5O,0O0. fully insured.
Two persons known to be injured are
Superintendent Rodgers, overcome while
endeavoring to rescue entombed miners.
and William Gill, overcome while assisting
Superintendent Rodgers. They were res
cued, but it is feared that six more were in
the shaft and perished. Thirty-nine mules
were at the bottom of the shaft, and these
have undoubtedly burned to death. The
fire will cause over four hundred miners to
be thrown out of work.

COAL FOR TRANSPORTS.
Best Quality of the Jananese Product
VIII BE Used.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The quarter
masters department of the army has
directed Major John NJ Hyde, quartermas-
ter at Nagasaki, to make every effort 10
procure better coal for the transports which
coal at that place. The necessity OF coal
ing at Nagasah became apparent soon
after the United States took control at
Manila 1t is true that coaling could be
done from collier in Manila bay. but only
for six months i'm the year. The remainder
OF the time it is found impossible TO get
a ship and collier together with safety. Ar
rangements are now made 10 coal in San
Francisco and Nagasak and no oftener in
Manila than necessary. Major Hyde has
been instructed to ascertain which is the
best coal to be found in Japan and TO con-
tract for continuous supply for the trans
ports. The Japanese coal is not the best.
but it is found TO be the most economical
that can be used. 1t costs about 81 ton,
while Australian coal taken to Nagasah
and resold costs about Sl2 per ton, owing TO
the high duty placed upon coal by Japan in
the interest of her own coal fields.
The great drawback to the japanese coal
is the fact that IL contains too much sui
phur and instead OF the combustion oc-
curing in the furnace IL often goes into
the pipes and is very destructive to that
portion of the boilers. Much of the repair
ing that has been found necessary to the
army transports had been about the boilers,
which have been damaged by japanese
coal. At the same time owing TO the great
cost of coal brought from Australia it is
found more economical to use the Japanese
coal rather than pay the higher price for
the Australian product. The navy does not
use japanese coal. AT San Francisco the
quartermaster's department pays the high
est price for coal. Most of it reaches San
Francisco as ballast. but some comes from
North Pacific ports The department is
now experimenting with coal from Utah,
and it is believed that it can be shipped TO
San Francisco and sold lower than other
Goals which are now purchased there.

Daly-West Mining Company.
A property that has, during the past
two years, been making very steady
progress, is that which occupies the
intermediate position between the DAILY

The plant is splendidly equipped with

control of the stock is held as a whole,
it is widely scattered with about 700
shareholders.
The policy of the company is entirely

The product for the present year

the company as 1929 l0e pounds Of

of gold. The dividN1d ratS which at
