Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 22.-The
work of recovering bodies of miners
entombed in the Virginia mine pro-
crosses slowly. Up to ten O'Clock
last night only fifty bodies had been
recovered, and they were so mangled
and torn that it was almost impossible
to distinguish the whites from the
blacks, and few were recognizable at
all. One hundred families and three
hundred children are left destitute.
So far, only one body was found that
had any life In it, and death followed
soon after it was brought to the sur
face.
According to the official list there
were 107 men, miners and helpers,
all told, in the mines at the time; but
there were some newly employed
men whose names were not on the
rolls, and the total number entombed
is put at 116.

thousand artillerymen, under command OF
Colonel r. D. Potts, are camping hero

contest against the navy, which will
begin at midnight a week from to.

Quarters in the fort are deserted, and

for miles along the coast behind the
fort. that are; dottlng the rocky plateau
&of the Rip-Raps and that appear hero

projecting into Hampton Roads.
Three thousand men may seem a small
number OF men for an army that will
garrison Fort Monroe. the greatest and
strongest fortified point in these United
States, but one must remember that
these are the days Of machines that do
quickly and we'll mems work. The enor-

Colonel r. D. Potts, commander of tho
Fort, Is one Of the smartest and best
officers In the army. and there is no de-
tail that has not received his personal
attention: no precaution that9he has not

Along the top Of the fortillcaHons above
the moat are tents some twenty yards
apart running the whole distance Of the

at midnight of Sunday. the 18th, and
ending at midday on the following Sat

So secret have the plans and scope Of
the nanoeuvres been kept that many

not know what the week has In store
