POWER OF THE BOERS
INCREASING
The Cape Colony Rebellion
Spreading and Growing
in Force.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, Jan. 25.-The Daily News has
published from its correspondent at The
Hague, whom it claims to have been very
accurate, the following dispatch taken
from private advices:
News from South Africa has reached
military circles here that the power of
the Beers over Cape Colony is increasing
daily. that the rebellion is constantly
spreading, and that the Colonsts are
joining the Beers is steadily increasing
numbers. The executions of Com
mandant Lotter and Commandant
Scheepers have had the result of deciding
the loyalists to join the Boers. whose
position is persstcntly reported to be
more favorable than ever"
The Same private advices assert that
the British suffered dozen defeats from
September, 1901, of which no mention is
made in Lord Kitchener's reports.
The Daily News, commenting upon this
dispatch, confesses that it's statements
are probably exaggerated, but is of the
opinion that the denial of Mr. Balfour,
the government leader in the House of
Commons that there has been any Boer
overtures for peace, points to the fact
that the Beers believe their position to
be less desperate than is generally sup
posd.

JURY FIXES BLAME
Officers of the Road Are
Responsible.
The Loss Of Sew nteen Lives in the Granc
Tunnel Disaster Was caused by Their
Negligence.
CBy the Associated Press.)

New York, Jan. 24.-The coroners in
vestigation into the causes of the recent
disaster in the New York Central Rail-
road tunnel was brought to close to-
three hours and five minutes, returned
verdict completely generating John
NJ. Wisker and r. c. Fyler, the crew of
the engine that crashed into the
rear end of the train causing the death
If seventeen people. The verdict places
the blame for the conditions leading to
the accident on the officials of the rail-
road Both Wisker and Fyler were i'm
mediately discharged from custody
After reciting the details of the acct
dent the verdict continues:
I'VE find that the engineer, John NJ
Wisker, owing to the heavy atmosphere
cue to weather conditions, together with
the presence of large bodies of steam
aud smoke escaping from trains passing
the various tracks in said tunnel, OBJ
securing said signal, was unable to locate
said danger signal
I'VE further find faulty management
on the part of the officials of the New
York Central and Hudson River Railroad
and we hold said officials responsible for
the reason that during the past ten
years said officials have been repeatedly
warned by their locomotives engineers
and other employees of the dangerous
conditions existing in said tunnel i'm
perilling the lives of thousands Of pas
acngers and they have failed to remedy
aad conditions; and also for the rca-
son that certain improvements in the
way of both visible end audible signals
could have been installed and tho disas-
ter thereby have been avoided; and for
The further reason that no regulation of
srced which trains should run in said
tunnel has been enforced, thereby al
lowing engineers to exercise their own
discretion

The Story Of the Disaster.

The explosion occurred at the noon
hour and was what is known as a dust"
explosion. The miners had just fired
their usual noon shots, one of which
proved to be a 6zzle The burning
powder ignited the gas and the explosion
followed
Smoke and debris were blown out of
the shaft 200 feet high. Part of the top
works was torn away and the fans and
cages We're partially wrecked This
made the work of rescue very slow, and
it was 3 o'clock before volunteer parties
dared to venture into the east entrance,
where the explosion occurred.
When they fought their way in hor-
rible sight greeted them. The dead and
injured We're terribly burned and multi
ated, some of them almost beyond recog-
milton. Fire, which at first was feared
would prove destructive to the entire
mine had broken out and this added ter
ror TO the spectacle.
The flames were finally controlled. and
after several of the rescue party had
succumbed to the fumes all the dead
were found and carried to the top of the
shaft.
At the time of the explosion more than
100 men were in the mines. but all of
these, except those in the east entry
escaped with only slight injury. The
total property damage will be about
10000
1t was nearly dark tonight when the
last OF the dead was taken out, and the
scenes OF anguish among the families of
the men We're most pitful. Nearly all
OF the men were married and leave fam
lies in poor circumstances.
The mine is owned by the Lost Creek
fuel Company of this city, and has been
IN operation about one year.
