FOR ONLY few HOURS
Bodies Of Ten Men Taken From
BriCeviIIe Mine.

Briceville, Tenn, Dec. 15-Fifty-
nine are known to be dead, victims of
the Cross Mountain mine explosion.
Forty y-nine bodies have been taken
out of the mine and ten other bodies
have been located
Many of the last bodies found had
been dead less than twenty-four hours.
One of these was John Duff, one of
two men who strayed from the gang
rescued alive Monday night. The 9th
er was Sam Miller, veteran miner
who knew the mine better than any
workman in this region. Duff appar-
emily had been dead less than twelve
hours. The entry in which he was
found had not been worked for some
time and for that reason had not been
explored previously.
If the figures of the company are
correct less than thirty men are still
unaccounted for. Rapid progress was
made by the explorers after the fire in
left entry IL had been extinguished.
No trace CT any living men has been
found.

Moros.
The disarmament of the entire Moro
population of Mindanao and Jolo was
ordered by the American military au-
thorities three months ago following a
number of murderous attacks on
Americans Since that time the troops
have been actively engaged in carry
ing out the order. Most of the chiefs
gave up their weapons peaceably, but
there has been series of sharp en-
