WOMEN IN BATTLE.
Mingled With Filipino Warriors and
Were Killed During Fierce Fight.

Manils.-Brigadier General Bliss
made a reconnaissance toward Mount
Dajo during the week previous to the
attack of the American force upon
the Moro stronghold there, but it had
no effect upon the hostile attitude of
the outlaws.
An unofficial report says that the
families of the Moros remained in the
village located in the center of the
crater at the apex of the mountain,
and the women and children mingled
with the warriors during the battle
TO such an extent that It was impossi-
BILE to discriminate. and all were
killed in the fierce onslaught.
All of the men who were wounded
in the recent fight with the Moros at
Mount Dajo are reported to be In ia
vorable condition.
Six organizations OF the troops
which came from Mindanao are either
en- route home or have been ordered
to return to their headquarters. Jolo
Is quiet and the sultan and head men
have reported that general satisfac-
ton is being expressed over the ex-
termination of the outlaws.

AWFUL DISASTER
IN FRENCH MINE
Eleven Hundred Men Meet
Death as Result of an
Explosion.
Most Appalling Mining Catastrophe IN
the History of the World, Bringing
Sorrow to Six Thousand Fathers,
Mothers, Wives and Children.

Paris.-A mine catastrophe of meal
culable horror and magnitude has
stricken the great coal center of
northern France An explosion OF fire
damp at 7 O'Clock Saturday mornf1g
carried death and destruction through
out the network of coal mines cen
tered at Courrieres, and fire following
the explosion made rescue difficult,
and almost impossible.
The death list number LOO, and
the whole of the region stands APP
has brought sorrow to six thousand
fathers, mothers, wives and children.
About 1000 miners work the group
of mines, and, with their families,
make a population of from 5000 to
5000 souls.
The explosion took place shortly
after 1,795 men had descended into
the mine. There was a deafening ex-
plosion. which was followed by the
cages and mining apparatus being
hurled from the mouth of the Cour-
riers mine. Men and horses nearby
outside the mine were either stunned
or killed. The roof of the mine Of
fic was torn off
Immediately following the explo-
sion flames burst from the mouth of
the pit, driving back those without
who sought to enter and booming
those within.
The work of attempting to rescue
the imprisoned miners was hastily be-
gun by officials, engineers and miners
from the surrounding mines, who
formed parties and made heroic eff
forts to penetrate the smoke and foul
gases and bring out the imprisoned
men
The families of the entombed min
srs crowded about the shaft seeking
athers or husbands, and threatening
n their efforts to obtain details to
orce back the gendarmes who kept
hem from the mouth of the pit
The populace of the district is APP
'aued by the disaster, which affects
very household
Those persons who were rescued
7ere terribly burned. The latest es-
mates place those taken out at 591.
For the time being the mine build

liable bodies of miners which were

Spanish and italian exile poets took up
his war cry; in Spain the so-called Myrtle
Society wal formed In his honor; In Italy
his influence was plainly manifest in the
writings Of Leopard. On France his death
made an extraordinary impression. A
week or two after il happened Chateau
BRAND vent e to the Opposition, and
his first subsequent act was to become a
member OF the Greek committee. Victor
Hugo's LES Orientales" was not a flight
straight to the East; his way lay through
Greece. and he had much to say OF the heroes
Of the war of liberation. In these days
many persons forget what our author rc-
calls, that -Delavigne devoted a beautlfui
poem to Byron; Lamartine added a last
canto to -Childe Harold; Merimee allowed
himself to be influenced by Byron's occa-
sionsl spirit Of savagery; Alfred de Musset
attempted to take up the mantleS which
had fallen from the shoulders OF b great
English poet. and even I.amennais began TO
employ a style in which many Of the words
and expressions recall the language OF
Byron's ~sallies." In Germany, which po-
itically wa far behind France, Italy and
Spain, poets like wilhelm Muller and Alfred
Meissner wrote beautiful verse In honor
Of Byron. and Heine's best poetry is a con-
tinuation OF Byron's work. In q word, 1t
is our authors conviction that French
Romanticism and German liberalism are
both direct descendants Of Byron's Natural

Room for Mere Bodies.

DESCENDANTS Of Knickerbockers with
vaults under the chancel and in the ancient
graveyard OF Trinity need not fear that
their bodies may not, at least for more
than a few generations, repose among the
crumbling collins that were slowed away
under the arched brick walls below ground
before the art Of embalming was practised
hereabouts.
In the one hundred and more vaults OF
the churchyard, and in the cemetery of old
st. Paul's. there is room for many hundred
more. As the sexton Of St. Paul's said yes
terday, the vaults are like the crowded
trolley cars. There is always room for one
more"
II has been more than fifty years since
the last vault Of Trinity was constructed,
burial in the city limits having been pro-
hlbited in he interest OF public health.
Now all collins, which must be hermeticallv
sealed, are generally lined with copper or
lead and all bodies are embalmed. The
outer wood Of the collins may decay ami
fall TO pieces, but the inner, sealed part
may.last for a century or more. A large
