ROJESTvENSKY UPHELD
Commission Decides North Sea Incl
dent In Favor of Russia.

Paris, Feb. %. A Semi-Official
statement appeared relative to the
work of the international commission
which has been considering the North
Sea incident II is as follows:
THE Hull commission met in the
ministry of foreign affairs in order to
proceed to final examination of the
report recapitulating its conclusions.
The report is rather long. comprising
about 10 large pages. The principal au-
thor Is Admiral Won Spaun (Austrian),
but all the members of the commission
collahorated in drawing IL up. The
commission gives no opinion on the
question of the presence or absence of
Japanese torpedo boats In the North
Sea declaring merely tina: the Russian
admiral quite legitimately believed
that his squadron was endangered,
and that he had the right under the
commissioners refer to the Russian
government engagements to indem-
nifty the victims of the deplorable in
cident.
The report will be sent by special
messengers to the Russian and British
governments, not because it is liable
10 notifications at the instance of one
Or other of the governments. the cou-
missions decision being without ap-
peal; but the commissioners do not
wish the powers interested to simply
learn through the press of the last
public sitting and the conclusions ar
rived at There is nothing in this pre-
liminary communication or report ex-
cept an act of Difference"
The public sitting for the reading
of the conclusions will probably be
held on Saturday. The admirals will
not be in full uniform. The proceed
ings probably will be closed by a
speech of thanks by Admiral Fournier
(the president of the commission) to
his colleagues.
Members of the commission who
were seen refused either to confirm or
deny the statements; but officials hav-
ing favorable opportunities to Judge
of the results of the inquiry consider
the statement to be substantially cor
rect.

Mine DISASTER
IN ALABAMA
One Hundred and Sixty Men Met
Death in Explosion.
BODIES FRIGHTFULLY MANGLED

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 22-Of the
160 miners of Virginia City who en-
tered the mine thus far only Is bodies
have been recovered. The recovery al
ready of so dead bodies precludes any
idea that life may still remain among
the unfortunates. With the first omi-
nous rumble of the coming catastro-
phe. by common impulse every one in
the village rushed to the mouth of the
main slope. The scenes at the mine
were the most narrowing that ever
have been witnessed in the mining sec
ton of Alabama. The corpses were
frightfully mangled and disfigured. and
identification is almost impossible.
Many of the bodies are so bruised,
twisted and discolored that negroes
cannot be told from white men.
The explosion is believed to have
been caused by an accumulation Of
gas. although the mine has heretofore
been noted for being entirely free
from gases.
All day long at the mouth of the
mine were waiting and moaning many
women and children whose relatives
were among the unfortunates. One
hundred families and 800 children are
left destitute and without means of
support by the calamity.
AS the bodies of the victims, which
in many cases have been gathered to-
gether piece at time. are brought
to the surface, they are placed in rows
on rough improvised platform.
Since the list of dead probably will
go to 100. the local undertakers have
wired TO adjoining cities for collins, as
it was found there were not enough
suitable collins in the district to bury
the victims.
Out of the 80 bodies recovered one
was found in which there were faint.
Pickering signs of life. The body was
carefully taken from the mine and
heroic efforts resorted to to bring the
man to consciousness. He is still alive,
but scant hope is held out for his re-
covery.
One of the most gruesome sights wit
messed was mans head being carried
OOh VI itaAlC iu q UaShCN II
was found in this position. and the
flesh was almost entirely burned away
from the skull. Legs. arms and man.
gled trunks were brought out in sue
cession. After nightfall the entrance
to the mine was converted into a yer-
table chamber of horrors, the awful
ness OF which was intensified by the
Pickering OF the lamps as the feeble
rays fell upon the mangled and bleed
ing fragments of human flesh strewn
about the entrance.
Many stout-hearted men who had
been assisting in the work of rescue
were forced to give up the task. and
numerous persons have tainted upon
seeing the CHASTITY array OF bodies.
Several women became historical;
others tainted. and still others had to
be placed in the hands of attending
surgeons, being completely Frustrated
by the terrible scenes. When bodies
are identified a tag is placed upon
each and special ambulances convey
them to BesSemer.

RUSSIA AGREES ON
TERMS OF PEACE
Difficulty in Ending War Lies in
Settling Indemnity Question.
MAY RISK ANOTHER BATTLE

London. Feb pa dispatch to Reu-
ter's Telegram company from st. Pc
tersburg confirming the Associated
Press advices of February II and Is
from st. Petersburg. to the effect that
peace was under consideration. adds:
The question of peace has not only
been formally discussed. but the condi-
tions on which Russia is prepared to
make peace have practically been
agreed upon. These are as follows:
Korea to be placed under Japanese
suxerainty.
Port Arthur and the Lao Tung
peninsula to be coded to Japan.
''vladivostok to be declared a neu-
trail port, with an open door.
The Eastern Chinese railroad to be
placed under neutral international ad-
ministration.
'Manchuria as far north as Hardin
to be restored as an integral part of
the Chinese empire.
THE difficulty lies in settling the
question of indemnity. upon which it is
known that Japan insists. but it is
thought that this difficulty is not in
superable.
THE most trustworthy opinion in
st. Petersburg is that in view of the
internal situation and the enormous
difficulty in carrying on the war, peace
on the terms outlined will be con-
cluded within a comparatively short
time if the indemnity question can be
arranged. but it is quite possible that
Russia will risk another battle before
q decision is reached"
Many Rumors In st. Petersburg.
st. Petersburg. Feb. 22-Even in the
midst of his grief over the death Of
Grand Duke Sergius, evidence exists
that Emperor Nicholas is giving his
attention to political developments;
but reports as to his intentions are
conflicting. Indications point towards
a decision to revive the Zemsky Sober.
and some rumors even give the date
when the proclamation converting that
body will be issued These rumors,
however, probably are premature; but
there is little doubt in the best-in-
formed quarters that the emperor's de-
cision will be favorable, although ii is
understood that the court party is still
fighting desperately for time. MAIN
tanning that 1t would be an irreparable
biunder to yield in the face of terror
ism. even IL 1t should be advisable
later on.
Some persistent reports declare that
Emperor Nicholas not only has de-
cided to convoke representative body.
but that he also is bent on making
peace. He is represented to have taken
this decision chiefly on the advice of
Emperor William. The conditions of
peace which Russia can accept are
freely discussed here. The only obsta-
Gle to peace is said to be the question
of indemnity. which Russia will refuse
to pay.
According to the latest reports. EN-
peror Nicholas is greatly dissatisfied
with the conduct of General Gripen-
burg while he was in Manchuria, and
that he has not only sustained General
Kuropatkin, but has ordered General
Gripenburg to return to his post. 1t is
gossip in court circles that General
Gripenburg's face was far from cheer
full when he left the emperor's cabinet.

set up a form of provisional govern

up the officers and some of the troops

tent by reservists, in taking the reins
OF government into their own hands.
1t Is known that the semi-weekly
steamer service between Batoum and
Odessa has been interrupted, and until
Geographic communication is restored
information is only obtainable by way
Of Constantinople.
The authorities here and others ia
miliar with conditions in the Caucasus
do not attach great importance to these
reports. however. as this region is in a
continual state of turmoil; and if il is
true that Armenians have succeeded
in temporarily establishing themselves
in the towns named. it is no indication
of a general revolutionary movement.
but simply another manifestation Of
racial feeling between Armenians and
Tartars.

FORTY YAQUiS KILLED
Mexican Troops Defeat Indians In
TWo-Day Battle.

La Colorado. Mex, Feb. 23.-The
Mexican forces under General Torres,
numbering about 400. have killed 40
Yaquis and taken 1877 prisoners in a
two-days' battle with the savages in
the mountains east of this camp.
When the fight ended General Luis
Torres. with his staff, two-thirds of his
force and the prisoners returned to La
Colorado. The Mexican officers refused
to make any statement of their own
losses until they make their official re-
port, but private soldiers of the force
who took part in the fight say they
were inconsiderable. although there
were sick and wounded among the re-
turning troops.
Ii is said there were 500 warriors in
the band surrounded by Torres in the
Mazatlan mountains. About 100 of
these broke through the Mexican lines
and escaped, but the main force was
hurled at a detachment commanded by
Captain Luis Barron, an old Yaqui
fighter. who was guarding one of the
mountain passes. He succeeded in
holding the savages in check until the
arrival of reinforcements. when they
were driven back with heavy loss and
finally surrendered. The final on
slaught had been preceded by two days
of skirmishing. the troops were worn
