Further questioning brought out tna fact that OBrian had not been on good terms with Capt. Mcdonald. This was due he said to the fact that AIcDonlld had failed to issue the rations due his men. He believed, though hC had no procf. that the officers had sold the ra tions that should have been issued to the men. He said they had meat 1nly twice a week. and bread Cnly twice during the o-tire eighteen months of his stay in the Philippines. He wort on to say tha- there was q price on the captains head, offered by the insur- gents, because of the captains cruel ties. Witness had seen him strike a Filipino prisoner over the head with revolver and he said the water cure was administered to the same prisoner after he had taken the oath of ale glance.

"T cant tell why I fred, ' he added, when pressed. all fred This shooting." he proceeded, brought the people 10 their doors, and among those who came out was an old man who was shot in the abdomen and 2fterward died. ia ter while firing was in progress. t.yo other old men, between the ages Of 70 and 70, l should say, came out toward us, hand in hand. be2-'ing q white tlnG Both were shot down and the serga1n1 reported to Capt.

Washington. May 19--Forn1er ror- poral Richard O'Brien of North Adams Mass, of company II. Twenty-silth volunteers. who served in the Philip pines for eighteen months, was before the senate committee on the Philippines today
 Before O'Brien took the witness committee a letter from General F. P. Hughes, enclosing a letter from Sena- tor Culberson, of the committee, to g Capt. V. H. Bridgmar, or Baltimore, and the reply to that letter. In his let ter Senator Culberson said he had been informed Capt. I3ridgman could give testimony that he had heard Gene-'1l Hugh, and others 2 Ve orders for the administration Of the water cure. Capt. Bridgman's letter contained Il general denial of this report. General Hughes in his letter sad ii there was to be an investigation it should be thor ough, and he enclosed a roster of aff- icers in his command whom he said he would like to have summoned if his conduct was to be inquired into-
 Senator Patterson read q letter from ". s. Sniffin, Of Boston, concerning Lhe letter of a son of Rev. Walke-, seIV- ing in the Philippines. in which it was stated that he had given the details Of the killing of 1,G09 Filipinos. Sniff fin said that, notwithstanding Walk CTS denial, there was in his conduct and statement justification for the newspaper reports.
 Witness O'Brien said he had been present at Igbaras when the water cure was administered to the president of that town. and then he made q charge of a serious nature against the Amor ican officers there. There was," he said "a Spanish woman in the town. an educated woman. who was violated by the American officers
 This statement Was made without any questioning. and 2s soon as inc made it Senator Lodge asked for he names of the officers. These the wit ness said that he could not give ad- ding that he had not witnessed the irl- cident, but that the WOman's husband was his authority fer the statement. Senators I2awlins and Patterson oD- jeoted to the testimony as mere hear say and urged that it should not go into the records.

Coal Creek, Tann., May 19.-Between 1.5 and 225 men and boys net instant death at the Fraterville coal mine, lo- cated two miles west Of this town at 7:30 o'clock this morning by gas ex- plCsiCn. Of the large number who went 10 work this morning only one is alive, and he is so badly injured that he cannot live. This man is William E.. Morgan, an aged Englishman. He was blown out Of the entrance by the force cf the cXplosion. Ona hundred end seVenty-fiVa miners were checked i3 fer work this mcrning by the mine boss. In addition to these there were boys who acted as helpers and drivers and ToaGInen, and others. to the num- Der oi perhaps fifty.
 The Fraterville mine is the oldest mine in the Coal CreecB district having been opened in 1870. | is fully thre.- miles from the opening Of the mine 10 the point where the men Were at work They had net been at wCrA long before Q terrible explosion occurred. There was fearful roar. and then flames shot from the entrance and air shafts. As soon as possible two rescuing par ties were started in, one at the main entrance and the ether through the Thistle mine, which adjoins and in which no nlaa were at work. Tne Thistle party were unable to make any headWay as the gas stiled the workers The Fraterville party went fully two miles under the earth until heavy fal! Of slate was encountered. At this bar rier the men worked desperately. hop i"r a~aioGt a"aa th@t fFoSa ha'ard might ee safe
 News of the disaster spread quickly and the scenes a-t the mouth Of the mine while the workers were within were beyond description. Business was suspended in Coal Creek and ali it's mines as sCcn as the news became gathered around the FratervIlle en- trance. Women whose husbands and sons were within were wild with grief
 All day long the rescuers toiled at the slate obstruction and not until , o'clock did they force an entrance through it. JD to that hour only five dead bodies had been recovered and hope was still high that many of the miners within were safe. The hopes of the living were doomed. however for when once the rescuers had entered and proceed cd, they walked along one continuous tomb of death. There was net d sign Ct life. Every man had perished. they believed. although it will be early in the morning before all the rooms can be entered. Eight dead bodies were CclI Creek. TWeaty-siX more were
