mine is owned by the Prussian gov

OF these the doctors say at least thir-

fully Injured through having been
hurled against the walls of the CALLER
aes by the force of the explosion.
An official report says the number
OF dead cannot exceed 100.
Immediately after the explosion res
cue workers were hurried from all
the adjacent mines and boldly entered
he Reden shaft in great numbers.
The work of rescue has been greatly
hampered by the poisonous gases re-
sulting from the explosion and by a
fierce fire that broke out Immediately
afterward. This caused efforts at res.
cue to be suspended, and the workers
had to be ordered out of the mine.
After all the rescuers had reached
daylight, according to one version, a
second terrific defamation was heard
underground. But according to an
other report many of the rescuers
were still below when the second ex.
plosion occurred, and 1t is estimated
that the casualty list from the two ex-
blossoms reaches a total of 300 men.
II is regarded as certain that the
lowest levels of the mine are COM
pletely wrecked, and the inspectors
are celebrating upon further meas.
ures to get control of the fire. The
managers are discussing the advisa.
bihCy of flooding these levels as the
only means of extinguishing the
flames. 1t is believed that all the men
who were in the lower levels assured.
ly are dead. 1t will take full week

INVESTIGATE DEATH OF WAKE
Mystery Surrounds Explosion
Sewer Gas at GoIdfeld.

Goldtield. Nev.-The coroner's jury
sitting upon the remains of James f
Wake, the colored man killed in the
Nixon block, was unable to determine
definitely whether death resulted from
the explosion of sewer gas from the
weight of the evidence favored the
latter theory. There is no reason to
believe Wake either aimed at suicide
or intended to blow up the block The
basement was dark and he lighted q
match to get his bearings, being killed
either by the explosion of the escap
ing gas or rendered helpless thereby
and then burned to death.

which probably will compel authority
supplies to the Philippines in foreign
bottoms. Every effort has been made

bids, but the only proposal received
was from the steamship China, which
would not, 1t is said, make more than
a couple of trips year. II it appears
impossible to conform with the rule
that requires shipment OF government
supplies in American bottoms, it will
be necessary to make arrangements
