EIGHTEEN. ARE DEAD
ABOUT THITRY-FTvE MORE MINERS
ENTOMBED.
Work Of Rescue At POcahOntas, Va.
Mime Goes On With Practically
Every Man Performing Heroic
Deeds.

Pocahontas, Va, Oct. 4-Eighteen
known dead. and from thirty to forty
more men entombed and doubtless all
dead, Is the situation UP to late hour
tonight at the West Fork mines of the
Pocahontas Golfers Company where the
explosion occurred late yesterday after
noon.
The dead:
B. Cook. Hall Richards. w. c. KEEL
ley, Henry Green, George Radford, j.
A. Dainey. John Davis. John Cumbee
Paul Kalsko. Joe Flash, BERTHE Estony
Negroes Henry Ward. Dick Mooman
Lightburn Woody, Ben Peery. John
Green, John Oldham, Ed Brown.
The bodies of these men were re-
covered from the mines as the result
Of the heroic work of a band OF thirty
five men constituting rescue party that
worked necessarily through the hours
of the night and day. 1t was not un-
til 1880 o'clock this afternoon that the
rescuers reached point nearest Pau
entry, where the explosion occurred Ihf
work or rescue ives very slow as the
conditions confronting the party were
dffficult to surmount.
The authorities anticipated the lear-
full extent Of the casualties by order
ing a carload Of collins and burial sup
plies, which are now on tha way.
Superintendent william Leckie OF
the mine, who entered the mine as one
Of the rescuing party, had a narrow
escape from death. He was overcome
by the fumes and had to be carried out.
Edward Jones, the inside mine fore
man, led the first, rescue party, anu
when that party failed to return in
reasonable time a second party under
Superintendent Leckie followed.
John Oldham and Ed Brown were
overcome by gas and died. and Lickie
barely escaped with his life. Then
the third party was formed and con-
tinued the work Meantime, the first
party had reached another entrance to
the mine in safety and sent word over
the mountain announcing that fact.
All this time the work Of bratticing
the mine, necessary for carrying on the
work of rescue, was being effectively
carried on. Some confusion was caus-
ed in the determination Of the exact
number Of men entombed by the fact
that the explosion occurred when the
change of shifts was in progress, add
ed to which was the fact that num-
Der Of men escaped from the Tug Fork
entrance. The scenes around the mine
were pitiful.
Relatives and friends gathered in
groups at the entrance and elsewhere.
awaiting tidings Of the victims. and
gave vent to their grief as the bodies,
one by one. were brought out.

BARON sEEFRlEo ON
 GAUTEMALAN REVOLT.
President Cabrera Has Ample Money
 to Hold His Men.

Mexico City. June t.--Baron See fried. German minister to Guatemala, passed through this city yesterday on his way to Germany He says the rev olution will not be prolonged. It al, ue bends on whether the revolutionists are victorius in their early battles or skirmishes. There has been no revo- lu,ionary gossip at Guatemala City, though there are probably many peo- pie secretly favoring Gen. Barillas for president.
 President Cabrera is fairly strong at Ocos. where there are fortifica- tions and some soldiers. There are many government troops in the de: partment of San Marcos. where the port of Ocos is situtaed.
 Cabrera is particularly we'll proeid- ed with money. having on hand some thing like fourteen million dollars paper money. worth perhaps one mil lion dollars silver This should enable him to hold his troops together.
 Should any one aSsaSslnate Cabrera all will be easy for the revoutionists but this is unlikely. Cabrera is 4s years old, and a man of intellect and ability. He is surrounded by soldiers and spies. His assassination is q natter of money.
