has been received from Fayetteville
that six dead bodies had been recov.
cred from the Parall mine in Fayette
county. where the explosion occurred
few days ago. The names of
the dead were not known. Most of
the men who worked in the mine were
of foreign nationality. being either It.
alians or Hungarians.
Il is supposed that there are still
20 dead bodies in the mine. Owing
to the fact that the mine is full of gas,
the work of the rescuing party Is slow,
and It has not yet reached the point
where the main body of worimen were
at work at the time of the explosion.
Extreme difficulty was experienced
in getting into communication with a
point where the latest news of the
disaster could be obtained, and. after
trying all points in the neighborhood
for a number of miles around, It was
only that the foregoing information
was obtained.
The mine stage was kept running
continuously after the accident and
the matter of rescuing the imprisoned
miners was begun Immediately. Nor
ley Pratt the bank boss, and his two
sons are among the dead and are still
in the mine.

France can go.
Special dispatches from Algeciras
to the London newspapers admit the
critical aspect of the situation, but
counsel patience. They are inclined
to the view that Germany having call
