OF the San Andres mine, situated i'll the
Sierra Madres, in the western part OF
the State OF Durango. exploded with
terrible force blowing off the whole top
of the mountain and destroying a por-

Eighty-seven men, women and chill
dren we're killed and many others bad

The San Andres is valued at $780,
100000 and IS one OF the richest silver
mines in Mexico. and it gives employ
ment to over 2ooo men. At the time OF
the explosion the underground cham
bers were filled with miners, but none
of them was seriously injured by the
shock or the cave-in that followed.
Among those killed were Herman Luti-
man, the superintendent OF the mine,
and all his family.
1t is supposed that the explosion was
caused by electric wires which passed
through the dynamite chamber becom-

of a portion OF the letter from Piet Dc

appealing to the latter to surrender,
published in the Post, is as follows:

so angry that you have decided TO kill

render than to ruin the country and

that it was better to lay down our

lurch by Froneman, who fed Con-
vinced that the struggle was Hopeless, l
left with my staff and surrendered and
was sent to Durham.
You and Steyn, in carrying on a
guerrilla warfare, caused me to write to
Kitchener November 18th requesting
an opportunity to come to the Free
State and persuade the men to lay down
their arms, no Free State government
existing against whom / could commit
treason. What is better for the repub-
lies to continue to struggle at the risk
OF total ruination as a nation or to sub
nit? Could we think of taking back
the country, il it were offered to us,
with thousands OF people to be support
ed by a government that has not a
farthing, but debt OF five or six mil
lions, even If helped by you? Do you
think any nation so mad as to have
thousands killed and spend millions and
then give us the republics and the
necessary capital to govern them?
"Burghers, are you blind? Can you
not see that you are being deceived by
the Transvaal generals? What are they
doing? They do not fight one-tenth
part as much as we do. Transvaal is
not so much ruined as is the Free State.
They are inclined to submit, and are
only waiting to see what you are going
to do. The moment you surrender, fall
or are captured they will surrender. |
pray you again to consider before you
proceed further

TRADE NEWS OF THE WEEK.
r. @. Dan & Co. Report That Retail Business
Has Profited by the Colder Weather.

New York (SpeciaD.-R. G. Dun
Il Co.'S weekly review OF trade says:
More seasonabe weather in the East
has brought up the volume OF business
in retail lines a little this week, and
at the West and South distribution OF
merchandise is on satisfactory scale.
Prices OF staple products show but mod
crate decline, and quotations OF manu-
iactured goods are steady in all diiec-
tions.
Large operations in the stocks ot
leading steel companies do not affect
the volume OF business or the prices Ot
their products as yet, and probably viii
have no material influence in the fu-
ture.
Structural forms are also in notably
brisk demand. and it is impossible to
secure prominent delivery OF any finish
ed steel at Pittsburg.
Textile industries do not revive ap-
preciably, even the lower temperature
failing to infuse life into woolens, aside
from better retail dealings Manuiac-
turers make small purchases OF raw ma
terial.
Another reduction in the average
price OF raw silk makes loss OF nearly
81 per pound since January 1, 1000.
Spot cotton lost an eighth on Mon
day and another on Tuesday, making
the decline $I2.5o a bale within a week.
After such a severe reaction TO the
lowest point since early in December,
it was not surprising that prices should
steady.
Wheat fell below so cents. Atlantic
exports for the week, including -four.
we're 2,S74III bushels, against 2,247,-
4o2 in the week preceding and 2,II5,S75

pared with the same date last year.
Failures for the week were 200 in the
United States, against 245 last year and
IS in Canada, against 80 last year
Bradstreet's financial review says:
The developments this week have
been calculated to keep the stock
market active and excited. Al
though no new records were made,
the volume OF transactions has been up
to the highest recent level, and there
was evidence that the public has taken
part in the current speculation to an in
creased extent"
