MEN ENTOMED IN COAL MINE.
Explosion Wrecks Shaw Bros Century Col
lery-Ten Dead.


Fairmont, w. Va, (SpeciaD - Ten
men are known to be dead, rs injured
and from IS to Is missing and believed
to be dead as the result OF an explosion
of gas in the shaft OF the Century Coal
Company at Century, a small mining
town situated so miles south of Fairmont,
on the Bellington and Buckhannon Branch
OF the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
The explosion took place at 4.3o P.
NJ.
The Century Mine, which is owned by
Shaw brothers, of Baltimore, Md.,. in
one of the largest independent opera
tions in Northern West Virginia. Over
$50 men are employed daily in the shaft,
and had the explosion been an hour
earlier the loss of life would have been
appalling. As il was there were but few
remaining in the shaft, the main body
of the miners having quit work for the
day. The giant fan, which furnishes air
for the shaft, was partially wrecked by
the force of the explosion, but was re-
paired Immediately, and within an hour
after the accident Superintendent James
Ward had a relief gang in the mine.
The first trip out brought 10 men
S dead and badly burned. They were
found in the main heading, near the
bottom Of the shaft. The living could
give no details of the explosion, saying
that they were on their way to the sur
face when the explosion took place be-
hind them.
A second expedition Immediately went
down and explored the main heading,
which was found to be uninjured by the
explosion, except that the brattices were
blown out
Four more bodies were found in this
heading, and 20 injured men were max
ing their way toward the bottom of the
shaft and were brought to the surface
by the rescuers.
Immediately following the explosion
the officials began house e-to-house can
vass to ascertain the number of men to
be found on the surface This resulted
in 100 miners being found who had come
out previous to the explosion 1t is be-
lieved that there are many more outside
who have not yet been accounted for
II this is true, there are still Is men in
the mine, with little hope Of their being
alive.

Chicago (SpeciaD All the meat pack
ers who were indicted by federal grand
jury last summer on charges OF conspr-
acy in restraint OF interstate trade and
commerce were granted immunity from
criminal prosecution under the indict-
ment. While the individuals are to go
free the indictments found against the
corporations of which some Of the in
dicted packers are members and others
are employees are TO stand
A decision TO this effect was handed
down by Judge J. Otis Humphrey, in the
United States District Court. The argu-
ments in the case were concluded late in
the afternoon, and Judge Humphrey at
once commenced the delivery OF his oral
opinion
Judge Humphrey spoke for nearly an
hour before indicating what the ultimate
decision would be. He reviewed the case
at length in all its bearings, cited all
the essential facts which had been
brought out and concluded as follows:
Under the law in this case the i'm
munity pleas filed by the defendants will
be sustained as TO the individuals and de-
MED to the corporations, and the jury will
find in favor of the government as far
as the corporations are concerned and
against the government as far as the in
dividuals are concerned"
During the rendition OF the decision
the court was crowded by defendants and
numerous spectators. Edward Morris
and Edward Swift were in court, and
both smiled happily when the decision
tuas announced noJar rr1pttr IVA
not present, but some men prominent in
the employment of Armor & Co., who
were under indictment were there, and
their JOY was great. When the Judge
announced that the indictments would not
lie against them the defendants crowded
together and commenced to shake hands.
The attorneys for the defendants also
shook hands all around and then has
tened to the jury box to shake hands with
the jurors, who had been excluded from
the courtroom during all of the argu-
ments made in the case and who re-
turned a verdict in accordance with the
directions of the court.
District Attorney Morrison, who has
handled the case alone, with the excep-
ton of the argument by Attorney General
Moody, sat with bowed head for short
time after Judge Humphrey had con-
cluded, and then walked over to the jury
box and also shook hands with the
jurors.
Immediately following the dismissal of
the jury, District Attorney Morrison
raised the question of the date for the
trial of the corporations. He asked that
the case be set for trial, and that it COM
mence within two weeks. This met with
a storm of protest from the attorneys OF
the packers, who insisted that they would
be unable TO prepare for the case before
fall, pleading the number of witnesses
which it would be necessary to bring 10
Chicago, the strain of the present trial,
and various other reasons.

Washington (SpeciaD. - The Ameri
can Navy is to have two new battleships
of the first class, the Michigan and the
South Carolina, either OF which, it is pos
itively asserted by the naval experts here
who know the plans, is as powerful, if not
more so, than the famous new British
battleship Dreadnaught, which was re-

for the Michigan and South Carolina,

Admiralty, the Navy Department has
placed seal of secrecy upon the speci-

it is intended that when the vessels shall
have been completed the details of their
construction shall be as great mystery

A REVOLUTION IN sEBAsrOPoL..
Sailors Mutiny and the City Reported
Burning.

St. Petersburg (By Cablc). = Mos;
sensational reports are current that the
execution OF former Lieutenant Schmidt,
which has made deep impression
throughout Russia, has been followed
by an extensive mutiny OF sailors at
Sebastopol, the massacre of their officers
and firing by the fortress upon the city.
The truth Of the story is doubted, this
being the psychological moment" for the
appearance of such wild reports. No
press dispatches confirming the story
have been received, but ii the report
should prove to be true the absence OF
these might be accounted for by the
imposition OF censorship.
The alleged news came in the form oi
two cipher kilograms to prominent
member of the Social Revolutionary
party, such as the revoutonaries have
sometimes been able TO transmit through
accomplices in the telegraph Offices wher
the public, and even the government has
been unable to communicate.
AS translated and displayed at the Of
fees Of radical newspapers here, the tele
grams say briefly that the sailors, infur
lated by the refusal OF Emperor Nicho
las to pardon Lieutenant Schmidt anc
their fellow-sailors, rose in their bar
racks and seized aud imprisoned the ma
jority of their officers. The dispatche'
add that the city OF Sebastopo is al
most entirely in flames.
1t is also stated that student at thu
chronological Institute has received
similar telegram.
The admiralty affects ignorance as tC
the occurrence of any such affair Th'
papers, in view Of the menace Of the new
press law, which provides that they ma!
be closed up for spreading false report
affecting the army or navy are afraid tt
take chances by publishing the story to
morrow.

Manila, (By Cable) According TO
advices received here, the recent fight
at Magtaon, Samar, between the con-
stabuary and Pulajanes was the result
OF base treachery on the part OF the ma
tives. As result OF the fight, 90 Pula-
james were killed and 10 of the consta-
bulary were killed and wounded.
A dispatch received from Captain
Jones, Of the constabulary at Magtaon,
says that on March %, Governor Curry,
Judge Lobingcr and Superintendent OF
Schools Hoover. arrived here and camped
over night near the Pulajanes. The
presence Of the official was made known
to the rcbclious natives, and their leader
announced that he would surrender his
force the next day.
As a result Of this promise the Ameri-
cans returned to the town OF Magtaon,
accompanied by Colonel Aguilar, Pula-
jane chief

OF the Pulajanes, with over 100 men and
II guns, appeared at MagtaJn and lined
mp in front Of the constabulary barricks.

Hoover, in compliance with the request,
was adjusting his camera, wien the Pula-
james leader blew whistle and gave an
order to advance The entire party of
natives thereupon rushed upon the
American officials, who escaped to the
Magtaon River and swan to the op-
posite bank
When the treachery OF the natives was
apparent the constabulary Immediately
opened fire and fierce fight ensued, in
which the constabuary gained decisive
victory. The Pulajanes were chased to
the mountains but the pursuers lost
more guns than they captured.
The American officials were later found
with the exception OF Governor Curry.
He was last seen being chased by Pula-
james, and it is now believed he is hiding
in the dense brush in that locality.
Three hundred constabulary are now
on the trail Of the fugitive natives and
