NJ. De Reus said this letter had been
published without his knowledge. What
he said in it was intended purely for
the private information of society, and
his consent for its publication was not
asked.
He added that there was no revolu-

today.
Everybody bowed before President
Castro. and the undisciplined army of
the republic was worthless. The coast
fortresses had been improved in 1902
by mounting of guns first intended for
the use of the Beers. but subsequently
sold to Venezuela. A blockade of the
coast of the republic offered no diff

the bodies of twenty-eight miners suffo-
Gated in the Haley-Oklahoma mine had
been recovered. and il is believed ten more

Shortly after o'clock this morning w

instantly an explosion followed which
threw flames in every direction and in a
few seconds the mine was a seething fur
mace from which there seemed not the
slightest chances of escape The fire and
explosion started almost 300 feet from the
surface and as the flames ate their way
back into the mine dense cloud of smoke
and fire spouted from the shoft News OF
the fire quickly spread among the fami-
lies of the men who had gone down for
the morning shift. and soon the shaft
house was surrounded by piteous crowd
or foreigners, the wives and children OF
the imprisoned men. Hastily an effort was
made 10 reach the suffering men, but not
until after twelve hours of an incessant
and heart rending struggle was the fire
sufficiently under control for the rescuers
to enter the mine. The dead bodies were

bottom of the hosting shaft. and il was
evident the unfortunate men had barely
time TO retreat a short distance before
the deadly fumes of burning oil and gas
overcame them. The dead men were hud-

While efforts were being made to quench
the flames at the mine. other rescuers
were making efforts to enter the mine
from a sub-entrance almost half a mile
distant from the explosion. Smoke and

l ficiently cooled and cleared of smoke so
that searching parties may penetrate
every working of the mine. All hope of
finding any of the men still missing alive

KILLS HUSBAND
TO FREE WOMAN
Pleading of Bride Results in an
AtfoeiouS Murder Far From
Civilization.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. pa special to
the Times from Valdez, Alaska, says:
Elemental passions aroused in the
bosom of a bride far from the
limits of civilization on the little island
of Afognak. eliminated in one of the
most atrOcious murders yet recorded,
according to the confession of Macrena
Kavorzoof who induced the man whom
she loved TO kill her husband Both
principals are now under arrest at
Afognak. from which place they will
probably be brought to Valdez for trial
before the district court. Peter S. Ka-
vorzoof was a woodman who recently
was married to a 19-year-old girl in the
local Greek Catholic church. They
went to their home at OuZinky, where
the bridegroom, who was much older
than his wife, had a small farm. Not
long afterward George Pestriakoff, a
former admirer of the young woman
followed, and she begged him TO free
her from her husband, whom she
feared.
Pestriakoff agreed to do so. according
to the details. and feIled Kavorzoof
with an AK. The only witness to the
terrible tragedy was the dead mans 13-
year-old son by a former marriage.
Macrena inundated the lad and COM
PEELED him to assist her in disposing OF
the body. Then the slayer and the wo-
man fled.
Soon afterward Kavorzoof was
missed and through the boy 1t was first
learned that he had been killed. The
fleeing couple were overtaken and
lodged in Jail. Two days later the wo-
man broke down and admitted the
crime. She justified it. however, by
making charges of extreme cruelty
against her husband.
Pestriakoff has no regret for the part
he played, saying he sought to deliver
the woman, whom he loved, from the
terror she was living in.

was impossible. as flames and smoke
