CHERRY, Nov. 23.-Fire in the
second gallery of the st. Paul mine
resulted today in heavy cavings of
earth, blocking the rescue work to
the east.
1t is i'm this section that it has
been believed there is the best
chance of finding survivors.
\ This afternoon careful examina-
ftion disclosed that the passages are
so badly blocked that it will be i'm
possible for many days to make en-
Meanwhile the men now alive, if
there are such, will in all likelihood
succumb from starvation.
One of the twenty survivors res
cued from the mine on Saturday died
today, having been unequal to recOv-
cry from the privatiOns suffered
while entombed. All of the other 10
men are apparently making good re-
covery.
The gloom of the situation was
accentuated today by the weather.
Rain fell all night and in the fore
noon turned to snow. Almost no
relatives of the missing men were at
the scene.
Efforts to explore under ground
are being pushed with unabated Wig
or. Dozens of volunteers worked
against the most exasperating odds
to extend their explorations. Earth
and coal were removed, only to be
swallowed by other cave ins.
''They are still alive down there"
was the watchword of every worker
although evidence of this was mea
ger.
Rescuers who carried up bodies
today said there was evidence the
men had walled themselves in for
several days but had emerged to
seek food and water and had met
death in the black damp.
At a point beyond where the
searchers had gone several declared
they could see the shattered block
ing of pocket where the men had
taken refuge. The bodies are scat
tered along the gallery for many
yards. Men who found them be-
lieved the victims collapsed from
weakness or asphyxiation before go
ing fifty yards toward the entrance.
Some bodies were burned. The exist
ence of the refuge was denied by 9TH
er members Of the party. The tense-
ness of the nerves of the rescuers is
shown by a remarkable incident this
afternoon. A man who proved to
have been dead for two days, was
believed to be alive when brought to
the surface and was rushed to the
hospital car. A mistake, however,
soon became apparent.
Gruesome tokens of the futile fight
for life made by the men taken out

MARINES ORDERED TO NICARAGUA NAVAL
SITUATION TENSE KNOX REMAINS SILENT
LOOKS AS If VERY SHORT time WILL BRING STARTLING Developments

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Every-
where in the State departments there
is feeling of expectancy, everyone
believing that the United States is
about to take a decided step with re-
spect to Nicaraguan affairs.
Although the naval officials dis
claim any knowledge of what the
state department is doing, it is
known that the naval offices are
hourly in expectation of orders di-
recting the troop ship Prairie to sail
from the Philadelphia navy yard, and
they would not be in the least sur
prised if other warships were order
ed to the Nicaraguan coast.
-Four hundred marines are imme-
diately available for transportation.
As many more could be quickly as
sembled and it is limited that pre-
liminary step in readiness for the as.
sembling of still larger number,
have been taken.
The departure of the marines
comes as result of rush orders sent
to the League Island navy yard after
the state department received the
preliminary report of execution OF
Grace and Cannon by President Ze-
laya's orders. 1t had been intended
to send the marines to Panama to re-
lieve $50 marines on duty there. The
date of departure from Philadelphia
had been set for December 3rd, by
which time the troop ship Prairie
would have been ready to sail. By
working night and day the League
Island force will be able to finish re-
pairs on the ship by November 81.
If necessary the $50 marines now
in the canal zone could be utilized in
Nicaragua in addition to the 400 to
be taken south by the Prairie. With
the troop ship Buffalo on the Pacific
coast and the Prairie on the Atlantic
the marines quickly could be trans
ferred from one coast of Nicaragua
to the other over the Panama rail
road. y
Rear admirals galore were at the
navy department today but in no in
stance was it admitted that their
presence had to do with the trouble
in Nicaragua.

LITTLE CAUSE FOR WONDER.

Twelve years ago the assessed val
uatioa of HAYES county was 81 4T5,-
S29, and this year il was $4,7S4,237, an
increase of more than three and a
quarter millions in twelve years. The
assessed valuation in the county of
Socorro twelve years ago was $4.611.-
1872. and this yea il was $2,652, 1872, a
decrease in twelve years of nearly 81
OOO, 900. The difference between the
two counties is that Cnaves county is
solidly Democratic and has honest
county officials who see that tae
property is listed for taxation, and
the county of Socorro is solidly Re
publican and the assessment of prop
erty nas been directed by the mem
bers of the Plunderbund. Socorro
county has not cen going backward

ers' Association in speaking of the
"rigat" of a man to drink himself

conscience only and that reformers

what is wicked and what is criminal.
