MUTlNEERS FAIL.

St. Petersburg.-The newspaper ac.

1t Sabastopol, which are based on the
reports circulating in the city, are con
dieting, but they all say the battle OF
Thursday ended at about $50 in the
afternoon, when the ships of the mutt
leers surrendered.
the Novosti SAYS that 5000 men
perished on both sides.
The leaders of the mutineers. it is
added. have already been executed,
two battleships have been blown up
and mines have been laid at the en-
trance of the roadsted.
According to the Slovo the mutt
neers themselves began the attack.
After waiting until o'clock in the
afternoon for reply to the demands
of the mutineers. which included the
convocation of a constituent assem-
bly, and the immediate realization of
the reforms promised in the imperial
manifesto. Lieutenant Schmidt opened
fire oE the city from ten vessels.
Vice Admiral Chouknin replied from
the loyal warships, and General Baron
Meller GakOmelslie from the southern
forts and with the coast artillery. The
mutinous sailors used rifles and ma
chine guns upon the entrenched in
fantry.
The fight. the Slovo says. lasted for
two and a quarter hours. The mutt
neers made heroic struggle. but the
odds were too heavy, and when the
Otchakoff, battered to pieces and on
fire. sank with the cruiser Dnieper and
a transport, Lieutenant Schmidt, who
was mortally wounded, surrendered
the mutinous squadron and the mutt
nous sailors on shore hauled down
their flag TO the Brest and Bielostok

WYOM|NC'S DEAD
AWFUL EXPLOSION IN DIAMOND
WILLIE COAL MINE.
NINETEEN MINERS KILLED
Caused by Blowing Out of Shot
Previous Explosion in the Same
Mine Killed ThrtyTwo Persons in
1901.

1901.
Diamondville, Wyo.-An explosion
of coal dust in the No 1 mine of the
Diamondville Coal and Coke Company
at 1880 O'Clock Friday night resulted
in the death of nineteen miners, consti-
tuting the entire night force OF the
mine.
The explosion was precipitated by
blown out" shot, which is blast
which blows burning powder out OF the
hole in which the powder Is placed,
much in the manner in which burning
powder is blown from the muzzle OF a
gun. The flash of this shot ignited
coal dust hanging in the air the flame
spreading through the dust to the re-
motest quarters of the lower levels of
the mine with such rapidity that the at
mosphere was disturbed as violently
as though by tremendous explosion
oil powder.
The explosion occurred about 1000
feet down the main slope OF the mine,
all of the night shift being employed
at that point in knocking down coal
for removal by the day shift. Every
one of the men undoubtedly was
killed instantly, as the force of the eN-
plOSiOn was so terrlnC tnat the entlre
lower workings OF the mine were
wrecked.
A large body of coal torn from the
walls and roof of the slope entirely
blocked the road to the lower levels,
making the work of rescuing the bodies
of the victims very difficult.
The body of Robert Marshall was
blown up the slope to a point above
where the cave-in occurred and was
the first found by the rescue parties
who entered the mine soon after the
explosion took place. 1t lay amid
pile Of wreckage and was badly distig-
ured.
Fridays explosion was the second
in the history of Diamondteld No. /.
On February &c, 1901, an explosion In
the mine killed thirty-two miners and
set the mine on fire, much difficulty be
ing experienced in eXtinguishing the
lanes. Following the explosion the
mine was equipped with brick brattices
instead of wooden brattices. and other
precautions against repetition of the
accident We're taken. The last previous
mine explosion of importance in
Wyoming occurred at Hanna, June 30,
1908, l69 miners losing their lives.

evidence of the connivance and even

made at their meetings calling on the
proletariat TO erect barricades.
Reports have reached several of the
embassies of military outbreaks in the
Baltic provinces, particularly at Reval,
where the reservists are said to be in
open mutiny. Confirmation of these re-
ports cannot be obtained. Prince Eu
gene Troubetskoy M. Guchkoff,
Dmitri Shipoff and other leaders of the
recent zemstvo congress held at Mos
COW, have arrived here.
No additional details of the CON
flagration said TO have started at Mos
COW have been received. Rumors of
plots to overthrow Count Witte are
prevalent
This morning newsboys were openly
hawking iysheets in the streets con
tanning an account of an alleged re-
volt at Tsarskoe-Selo and crying out:
The Emperor's palace guard has
mutinied."
The air is also filed with stories of
the alleged revolution at the palace
Friday, in which Grand Duke Boris is
said to have attempted the life of the
Emperor. These stories likewise are
untrue. but they prove that revolu
tion in the palace is considered posi-
BILE at any time.
Count Witte continues to refuse to
deal with the telegraphers. declaring
that for the government to yield would
be equivalent TO its abdication at their
order.
