AWFUL MINE DISASTER
Explosion In British Columbia
Causes Many Deaths.

General chaffee Disapproved Findings
Of Waller Trial-cuban Republic.
Distress at st. Vincent-ln Jail at
ouebec-oabriel Bishop Acquitted.
Blue Law Repealed.
The most terrible disaster in the his
tory Of the frequent accidents in Brit
lsh Columbia, occurred Thursday night
In the Crows Nest Coal company's
mines at Fernie, b. C. over one
hundred men are either dead or i'm
r-isoned in the mine, and little hope
is entertained of rescuing any who
may yet be alive.
A special from Fernie says that the
explosion took place at 1880 Thurs
day evening. The management has a
list of 1873 men who are known to have
been in the mine, and there were
probably others. OF these only "a
are known to be safe. 1t is feared that
few II any of the remaining 100 are
now alive.
Disapproved Findings.
The official findings Of the court
martial which acquitted Major Waller
and lieutenant John II. A. Day, Of
the marine corps, charged with exc.
cutting natives Of the Island of Samar
without trial, have been made public.
The reviewing authority Of the court,
Major General Adna r. Chaffee,
has expressed his disapproval Of the
courts findings in both cases.
Referring to the case of Major Wal
Ter the reviewing authority says:
THE sending of the natives in ques-
tion TO their death partook more Of
unlawful retaliation than justifiable
act of war. In justice to the American
military service the findings of ac-
quittal demand that they shall not
meet with unqualified approval. The
marines in Samar underwent great
sufferings before their rescue, and
their officers from their sick beds
voiced the revengeful anger of the
men who telephoned to Major Waller
advising that the steyedores be killed.
Major Waller received this message
while he was sick and PROSTATE from
a fever, suffering acute pain of body
due to exposure and eXertions in be-
half Of his men and mental anguish
concerning their fate which had long
been In doubt.
Giving heed to the mental attitude
of Major Waller so much Of the find
ings Of the court as is to the effect
that Major Waller is not guilty OF
murder is approved. But the review
ing authority is at loss to under
stand why the court did not find
against Major Waller in the minor
offence. With the exception noted
the acquittal, as it appears in the rec
ord of the proceedings, is disap-
proved"

Blue Law Repealed.

The so-called Massachusetts blue
law" which prohibited the sale
Of ice cream, soda water and confec-

statute book by a repeating measure
which Governor Crane signed as soon
as it was rushed to him from the sen-
ate. The agitation growing out of the
attempt to enforce the law few Sun
days ago led to the present legisla-
ton.

The trial at Buffalo of young Ga.
briel Bishop of Cuba, N. Y, for kill,
ing Everett Austin by exploding a dy.
Mantle cartridge under the floor of a
cottage at Cuba lake in August, 1899,
was concluded late Friday after
noon. The trial had been brought to

Birth of a New Nation.

The natal day of the republic OF
Cuba found Havana arrayed like a
queen. The decorations were univers-
al. There was not a residence, pre-
tentious or humble, that did not bear
upon its quaint facade some emblem in
honor Of the event. The many arches
erected at the entrances of plazas by
political societies. fraternal clubs, resi-
dents Of various civil divisions of the
city, and business organizations had
an air of grandeur.
The ceremony of transfer was brief
and simple. After formal greetings,
General Weed read the documentary
transfer prepared by the war depart
ment, pledging the new government to
Immediately proclaim the constitution
and the Patt amendment contained
in the appendix, and to undertake all
obligations assumed by the United
States, with respect to Cuba, by the
treaty of Paris.
Senor Estrada Palma attached his
signature to the document as president
of the republic, after an exchange of
congratulations and the old veteran,
General Gomez, ascended to the roof
of the palace. He was instantly recog-
nized and met with an immense dem
onstration of welcome. General Wood
himself undid the halliards from the
flagstaff and lowered the American
colors.
In the meantime a Cuban flag had
been bent on the halliards of the pal
ace flagstaff and, by his own hand,
General Wood raised It, as an act Of
the United States. General Gomez as
sisted him.
Labor Troubles the Only Drawback.
With almost uniformly good wheat
weather, a full volume of recorder bus
mess for this season of the year, good
collections and heavy railroad earn
ings, the only cloud on the situation
would seem to be the continued unrest
of labor and the idleness of large num-
Sers of industrial workers as a result
thereof. Even here, however, it is to
be noted that, with the single excep-
tion of the anthracite coal miners
strike, which of course, affects de-
mand and industry throughout a wide
area, the disturbances are largely To-
Called, and are mostly efforts on the
part of labor to get still larger share
of the concededly abundant prosper
ity ruling.
Wheat is slightly lower on good
crop reports, but straitened supplies
of corn and oats make holders conf.
dent.
Corn visible supplies are only hall
those of last year and 60 per cent OF
the stock is in Chicago. Wheat sup
plies are smaller than one or two
years ago and only slightly larger
than in 1898.
Hog products generally are rather
easier. Lard is lower and butter Is
also of.
Business failures for the week mum
bered 152, as against 100 last week.
1876 in this week last year, 167 in 1900
1853 in 1899 and 231 in 1898.

Injunction Against Beef Trust.

The first public action of the Unit

packers known as the big Six" be-
gan when United States District At
torney S. II. Bethea made a motion be-
fore Judge p. S. Grosscup in the
United States circuit court for a tenn
porary restraining order. All that has
gone before has been devoted to lay
ing out lines OF prosecution and de.
fense.
The temporary injunction asked for
by the government against the men,
bers of the so-calleG packers combine
Is now in force. II was issued in
Chicago by Judge Peter S. Grosscup
after the close of arguments in the
United States circuit court room. The
order gives the relief prayed for in the
bill filed by District Attorney Bethea
on May 10. 1t is so wide in its scope
that If the packers or their agents
continue with their present alleged
uniform arrangements they will be
taken into court on contempt proceed
ings and the burden of proof will be
on them to show that they have not
violated the order in any particular.
Distress In st. Vincent.
A cable dispatch has been received
from Sir Robert Llewellyn, gov

st. Vincent. Wednesday, May 21, and
expressing the gratitude of the is
landers for the generous English con-
tributiOns.
The message continues: 81 fear the
distress is likely to continue for a long
time. A fifth of the entire island is
devastated, the largest of the sugar
estates are ruined and their crops can
not be renewed in less than three
years II ever The suffering of the
injured from burns is beyond des-
cription. The rains due may revive
vegetation little but all the growing
crops and fruit were destroyed. The
sum of $1,000 (S35,OOO) is required
Immediately to build huts for refugees
of the devastated area, who have lost
everything.

Chihuahun Enterprise: The bull ring last Sunday was the scene of turmoil when the bulls refused to fight. Chairs were thrown into the ring, and part of the furniture was burned. Violence was threat ened in several directions, but the fury of the spectators subsided later when it was learned that the man. ager had been arrested
 Fl Paso Times The new lixivi- ating equipment, purchased in the United States for the mines at AL vino, in Durango, Mexico, is ex- pected to arrive at it's destination the latter part of the present month. The manager of the com pany, Charles Flynn, stopped in El Paso some time while en route to London, England, where he has gone on business connected with his company.
 Monterey News: Many of the American miners who were recently secured in the States to work in the Hondo mines have arrived and have gone to work. Only short time was lost by the inability of the management to secure a suffi- cient number of laborers, The concession to import miners from the States was readily granted, and when agents went north to hire them little difficulty was found in getting them. A few Chinamen have also been employed.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: Word has gone forth that work will commence out of Miiiaca on the Kansas City, Mexico X Orient Railway in very few days. The work of location and cross-sectioning by the engi- neers will be commenced as soon as possible. Nh. George k. Winkler has already arrived and joined the party. The residents of Miilaca are already arranging to have a stake driving some day next week to appropriately celebrate this event.
 Mexican Herald: Decoration Day will be properly and formally ob- served in this city by the local G. A. R. At q recent meeting of the members of the organization ar arrangements were made for exercises to be held at the American ceme- tery on May 30 General c. H. NJ. Agramonte was named as the orator of the day, and the General has signified his intention of re-. spending in his usual appropriate manner to the requirements of the occasion.
 Mexican Herald: There arrived in Chihuahua this week Texas merchant who was said to have been in quest of woman whom he did not find. It appears that the lady left his hearthstone about six months ago, and that fine looking drummer was largely to blame for it. He travelled over the state in quest of her and went to points where it was expected the drummer would land, but as yet he has not found trace of either. It is not known whom he is mostly in search of, the willy salesman or the wife, but there will be a warm time when they meet. He returned to Texas disappointed. It is said that the drummer has resigned his position.
