Silverton, Col, Jan. 2S.--In an i'm
mense snow slide yesterday afternoon,
FIVE Italian miners employed at the
Sunnyside mine lost their lives. The
mine blacksmith shop and several tram
cara are also reported to have been swept
away. The telephone line is down and
communication of all kinds has been
destroyed, consequently the names OF
the victims cannot be obtained. Slides
and immense drifts of snow have blocked
the railroad tracks and no trains from
Durango and Denver have arrived here
since Wednesday. One immense slide
went into the Animns river, forming a
dam of snow and ice which caused the
stream TO back up and overflow the Rio
Grande tracks to depth OF four feet.
II will be two weeks before traffic can
be resumed between Silverton and Du-
range. The storm, one of the worst
ever known in this section has about
spent its force.

IL reported that secret alliance had
been arranged between Servia and Bal
garia, although at the very time Servia
was conducting negotiations looking to
the establishment of new agreement
with Austria. Great anxiety is felt in
Austria over the new combination be-
cause il would mean the rise of power
iul state on her eastern frontier and the
lessening of her influence in theBalkans.
She has demanded that Seryia refrain
from entering into such combination
and the latter nation has refused to be
dictated to. usIria-Hungary has now
closed her frontier against the 1mporta-
ton of Ser Sisn cattle, swine, and meat

and hogs are diseased. This export
trade of Servia amounts to about $l6,-
900, 900, annually, and forms nearly one
half of the total export trade OF the
country. BY shutting out these goods
Austria has struck a severe blow at Ser
via, but it is more than probable that
the effect of her action will be to in
crease the desire of Servia to form the
proposed zOllvereiD.

At the conclusion of Senator McCum-
ber's speech, Senator SpoOner arose TO
make his speech in defense of the adj.
ministrati0n's course in the SantO Do
mingan affair.
He declared that the Senate should
never discuss in open session, measures
connected with the f'reign relations OF
the government and that the Senate had
no right to demand that the President
should unfold to it, even behind closed
doors, the progress of negotiations.
Mr.. Tillman interrupted with the re-
mark that the word "sdyise" in TIE
constitution probably meant something.
rhe Senator thought the mere calling
upon the President for certain infOrma-

the Moroccan case.
