Don Alfonso and His New Premier.

In my letter Of Monday last dealing
with the appointment Of Count Romanones
TO the Premiership Of Spaip referred
TO the stories diligently circulated by the
Republicans. the Carlists and the other
foes Of the dynasty. TO the effect that the
count has the young king in his financial
tolls, and that he has loaned large sums
OF money to his sovereign. These reports
have been printed in certain organs OF the
Spanish and foreign press during the last
few years. l described these stories a.
probably unjust. These prssumpticns
have been confirmed. for have received
the most authoritative and positive as
surance, as absolutely convincing TO me
as l hope what 1 am writing now wiz
prove to my readers, that Don Alfonso Is
under no financial obligations TO Roman
ones, and that there Is no foundation
whatever for the rumors that he has ever
received any loans from the new Premier.
AS mentioned on Monday last, the young
King Of Spain is addicted to no expensive
follies, unless an excessive love for ever
form OF manly sport can be described a.
such. His life is sngularly clean, and
has been notably free from every sort OF
scandal. His only real extravaganza
in the dispensation OF charity, which Is
disproportionate 10 his purse-that In 70
say, TO his official revenues--but not to
his private resources. These latter are
considerable.
Moreover, his mother, Queen Christina.
is exceedingly rich, having inherited not
only great wealth from her parents, bu,
also an enormous fortune from her uncle
the late Archduke Albert, who, being gen
eralsSimo of the Austro- Hungarian army
up to the time of his death. was accounted
in his day the greatest Croesus among the
members OF the regning houses OF Europe
with the exception of the Car. Queen
Christina is so passionately devoted 10 her
only boy and the relations between then
have always been marked from his chic

prevented from doing their work.
While the cabinet was preparing to
set the entire resources of the French

equally busy. A request for an. ap-
preparation Of $4,000 was prepared by

welch, W. Va. March 26.-Eighty-
three men are entombed in the mine
Of the United States Coal & Coke

An explosion of gas occurred In the
mine at 1880, this morning. Eighty
six men were then at work. Only
three of the men were able to reach
the outside.
Following the explosion. after-damp
pervaded the entire working and 1T
was impossible for Immediate rescue
work to begin.
Deputy State Mine Inspector Ar
thur Mitchell arrived from Bluefield

night and were then in their homes.
were brought to the mine and organ
lied into rescue parties
Because Of the deadly after-damp,
IN which no human being can live for
an instant. 1t was impossible for the
would be rescuers to get farther than
a few hundred feet from the opening.
An appeal for hefp to the United
States Bureau of Mines is to be sent.
1t is expected that Chief Holmes, of
the Bureau of Mines will be rushed
here with the government rescue
crew. which is equipped with an ap-
paratus to enable men to enter all
parts Of the workings.
Whether any of the es3 men are
alive IL problematical. Experienced
miners say there is chance that
some may have escaped the explosion
and reached a part of the mine not
penetrated by the after-damp.
II this Is the case, brattics may
have been thrown up by them to pre-
vent the gases from befouling the air.
II Ia recalled that in this manner, at
Briceviile. miners fought the deadly
gases for 4S hours.
The Jed mine worked day and night
shifts. employing in all about $50
men. both white and negro. 1t is a
shaft mine and has be l operated on
a non-union basis. T.a $50 employ
es, with their families, comprised
practically the entire population of
the town of Jed.
When the news of the explosion
spread women and children gathered
at the mouth of the mine, terror
stricken. Nearly all of the men in
the mine are married. Their fami-
lies refused to leave the shaft, hyster-
ically urging the rescue party to get
their beloved ones out.
Some smoke and fumes issued from
the mine opening Immediately after
the explosion but now that this has
disappeared there is nothing to indi-
cate flames inside.

ENGLISH STRIKE
SITUATION is
IN BAD SHAPE
Amicable Settlement Now
Appears to Be Out Of
the Question
Soup Houses and Bread
Lines Are Taxed Beyond
Capacity
tspecia, from United Press, !,


London, March 26-Following another
futile conference between sthe union
committee and the representatives of
the mine operators, one of the leading
owners indicated that there was no
hope of settlement.
. We've chucked it, he said, as he
left the conference in disgust. Other
members Of the conference expressed
hopeless sentiments. The rock on
which the split was the shilling mini
mum for men and 2 shillings for boys
which the owners insist under no cir
cumstances would be conceded.
The hopelessness of the situation was
further emphasized in the House of
Commons few minutes later when
Premier Asquith announced that the
government would not accept the min
imum figures demanded by the min
ers and insert them in the bill.
s Great pressure had been brought to
bear to have the government make
this concession, and the final refusal
by the premier was accepted by every
body as meaning there will be no COM
promise and that the fight between
the miners and their employers would
be continued to the bitter end.
On the 26th day of the strike, the
nation faced the most serious situa.
ton in years. Soup kitchens in all
the affected districts were overcrowd-
ed all day and various parish socie-
ties were swamped with appeals.
In Sheffield, many children have
been virtually without food for a
week Many families are reported on
the verge of starvation in many 9TH
er places In Wales where the soup
kitchens are able to provide only a
meagre supply of food to the suffer-
ers, the authorities are endeavorins
to relieve the situation by establish.
ing labor yards where the men may
earn small wages.
In Glasgow, 10000 men are idle in
addition to the miners VINO are on
strike.
So insistent are the appeals for help
from the districts affected by the coal
strike and the shutting down of thou
sands of industries, that the question
of governmental aid is being consid-
cred by members of parliament. I'm
less there is a speedy settlement it is
considered certain a governmental ap-
preparation will have to be made to
help out the local authorities, espec-
tally in Wales, where the town treas
uries have already been almost ex-
hauSted supplying the p'ainest kind of
food for the soup kitchens.
