Houston, Texas, May 1S.-At 3:45
this afternoon tornado struck the
beautiful. and historical town OF Golial
and left death and desolatiOn in its
pathway beyond the power of pen to
portray. y.
A correspondent reached the scene at
Z o'clock, on special train from Vic
toria. Texas, bearing doctors, nurses
and medicines. friends and relatives
of Goliad people and the .0'Connor
guards. The scene which met the eye
on reaching the scene of destruction.
which was In the western part Of the
city, was appalling. Between Church
and Patrice streets, which run north
and south a distance of n mile In
length, only one house was left stand
ing and scarcely vestige of man could
be seen. Very little damage was done
except within these boundaries, a
width of $50 yards. The tornado was
preceded a few moments by a heavy
hailstorm and u deep rumbling sound,
but no one had any -premonition of the
disaster, and there was no opportunity
for escape to refuge, as the cyclone,
dealing death and disaster, was all over
IN few moments.
The section which most suffered was
In lou urt
being the negro settlement, while the
upper part contained many residences
The Methodist and Baptist churches
and the Baptist parsonage, both just
completed, and the negro Methodist
church were destroyed. The Episcopal
church was badly damaged and fully
100 houses We're totally destroyed. The
stone residence of r. L. Davis of the
Goliad Guard was the only building
in the pathway of the storm not demol-
ished, and it Is n wreck.
The people of Goiiad.- realizing at
once the stupendous nature of the ca
lamity and the terrible loss of life and
injured, telephoned to her sister cities
of Cuero and Victoria for assistance,
which was responded to Immediately.
General Superintendent Forbes stop
ped the regular Beeville train at Goliad
and turned it back toNietoria, bringing
on the return trip six doctors from
there and- an abundance of medicines
ami surgical appliances Another train
came later from Cuero with a number
of physicians and dozens of nurses and
many citizens.
Dallas. Texas. May 1S.-A special
to the News from Houston says tnat
a telephone message received from
GOliad late tonight reports that 15G
or more persons We're killed and in
5ured by the tornado which swept over
that village to-day. No veriiication Is
obtainable. Among those reported lost
are the members of the family of the
GDliad telephone manager.

Awaiting Peace Conference.

London, May 1s.-While ever, capt.
tai in Europe Is eagerly awaiting the
result Of the Boer peace conference
at Vereeniging, Transvaal, London
watches 1t with apparent Indifference.
This feeling not only extends to the
public, who yesterday poured out OF
the metropolis bent on celebrating the
Whitsuntide bank holiday, but also to
the King and the Cabinet ministers.
None Of these remained In London, and
a holiday atmosphere reigns over all

TWO HUNDRED DEAD
AWFUL coLLlERy EXPLOSION.

DtoAotST IN tTS FtasS'sh MINIS AZ
Coal Creek, Tennessee-Men and
Boys Killed by the Explosion Of
Gas-onIy One Came Out Alive,
and He viii Die.
Coal Greek, Tenn, May 2O.-Between
175 and 225 men and boys met instant
death at the Fraterville coal mine, To-
Gated two miles west of this town at
1880 O'Clock yesterday morning, be-
cause Of a gas explosion.
OF the large number of men and boys
who went to work yesterday morning
only one Is alive, and he is SO badly
injured that he cannot live. This man
is William Morgan. an aged English
man, who was road man in the mine.
He was blown out of the entrance
by the force of the explosion.
One hundred and seyenty-five miners
were checked in for work yesterday
morning by the mine boss In addi-
ton to these there Were boys who
acted as helpers and drivers, and road
men and others to the number of per-
haps fifty.
The Frateryille mine is the oldest
mine in the Coal Creek district, hav-
ing been opened In 1870. 1t is fully
three miles from the opening of the
mine to the point where the men were
Mt work. They had not been at work
long before the terrible explosion oc-
Cured. There was fearful roar, and
then flames shot from the entrance
and the airshafts.
AS soon as possible two rescuing par
ties were started in, one at the main
entrance, the other through the Thistle
mine, which adjoins and in which no
men We're at work. The Thistle party
was unable to make any headway, as
the gas stifled the workers. The Frat
eryille party went fully two miles I'M
der the earth until heavy fall of
slate was encountered. AT this barrier
men worked desperately, hoping
against hope that those beyond might
be safe.
The news of the disaster spread
quickly, and the scenes at the mouth
of the mine while the workers We're
within were beyond description.
Business was suspended in Coal
Greek and all its mines as soon as the
news became Known, and men. women
and children gathered around the Frat
erville entrance. Women whose hus-
bands and sons were within were wild
with grief.
All day long the rescuers toiled at
the slate obstruction, and not until 5
O'Clock did they force an entrance
through it. Up to that hour only five
dead bodies had been recovered and
hope was still high that many miners
within were safe. The hopes of the
living were doomed, however. for when
/ once the rescuers had entered and pro-
ceeded they walked along one con-
| tinuous tomb of DEATH There was not
a sign of life. Every man had per
ished, they believed although it will be
early In the morning before all the
rooms can be entered

their living by catching fish In the
ocean are now idle or are merely
mending their nets as a result of the
invasion of Japanese market fisher
men. For the past few years the
wholesale houses have been paying but

men appealed to them. asking them
to pay 3 cents regularly. and not TO
buy Of the Japanese. Most of the old
fishermen are Italians or Germans. II
is claimed on behalf of the japanese
that their catches have been mostly of
varieties different from those taken by
the Italians and Germans. and that
they do not therefore interfere with
the work of the older fishermen. Re-
Gently, some japanese fishing boats left
moored in the inner harbor were bro

while it's outline was incorporated In
ar application for an injunction.
