the governor of Sinaloa, whose headquar
ters is now at Mazatlan. the only large
city in the state still under government
control Foreigners generally have ap-
pealed through their consuls to the dip
lomatic representatives in the Mexican
capital. The French minister has reported
to his government asking for instruc-
tions: but the English and German min
listers have advised their nationals at
Mazatlan to pay the tax under protest.
The American charge has prepared a.
memorandum for presentation to Senior
Moheno, the Mexican minister of foreign
affairs.
The order of the governor requires the
payment of a tax on all real and per-
sonal property, regardless of the nation
ality of the owner, and a warning is
issued that unless the tax is paid by De-
cember Is, confiscaton will be, sum
mary.
Claim Levy Necessary
Consular reports say the governor ex-
planned that the levy was absolutely
necessary to raise money for the pay
ment of troops Two banks and several
commercial houses already have closed
their doors and the condition of the peo-
pie generally is becoming desperate from
lack of money
The acting head of the finance depart
ment told the French minister that it
was impossible for the central govern
ment to interfere, as it would be an in
fringement of state rights. He said, how
ever, that he had telegraphed to the
governor of Sinaloa, suggesting modera-
tion.

The Salem Welfare League was or.

purpose of financially and morally op-
posing the prohibition measures to be
submitted to the people at the special

tory and all were free TO admit that
general conditions were worse by far
than those of Salem at the present time.
The following declaration Of princi.
pies was unanimously adopted:
Declaration Of Principles.
We believe that there is no public
demand, based upon economical reason
ing, for Salem to adopt prohibitory
measures regarding the sale of liquor.
We sincerely believe that it would be
folly for Salem to change its present
method of handling the liquor question
for prohibition, the latter admittedly
but doubtful experiment wherever
tried in cities and in many instances an
absolute failure.
To adopt local prohibition in Salem,
surrounded as the city is by antiprohi-
bition territory, would prove farce
and its resultant effects would be detri-
mental to the best interests of the city.
Prohibition would Great disrespect for
existing laws made for the purpose of
its enforcement; it would create bitter
ness and would disrupt the present
good feeling and enthusiasm that is do
ing so much toward the building up n
greater and more prosperous Salem
We favor strict regulation Of the
liquor traffic and strict enforcement Of
the laws in Salem, but are opposed to
continued agitation Of local prohibition
measures that can accomplish no useful
purpose.
We believe that Salem has made
great progress in the past few years in
governing and controlling the sale Of
liquor through strict and proper regu.
lations, and most sincerely hope that
the voters Of Salem will leave well
enough alone.

Rev. Hammond urged the voters TO

that, by massing the votes in the fore.
noon, they would create an effect that
would help carry the election. He urged
those present, to not forget the import,

ence they could exert on their neigh
bors. He also urged upon those who
are to canvass the town the necessity of
doing their work thoroughly, and in.

Cardiff, Wales, Oct. 14.-That $50
miners in the west galleries of. the
Singbenydd colliery hopelessly are
doomed, as a result of the explosion in
the mine, was admitted by officials this
afternoon.
Fire, following the explosion, has
spread to the airshaft intake at that
hour, cutting the survivors off from
fresh air.
AT least 100 are known to be dead.
ALI Hope Abandoned.
OF saving those who still lived there
was no hope whatever tonight. The
timbering inside the entire mine was
burning, forcing the abandonment of
rescue work at p. m.
That any of the men would be
burned to death, however, was deemed
unlikely. The fire had reached the in
take airshaft and it seemed certain
that, long before the flames could reach
them, they would have died painful,
but still comparatively merciful deaths
by suffocation.
The fire followed a gas explosion
just after the day shift of miners had
descended the shaft this morning. Ac.
cording to official figures there were
93l men in the mine when the blast oc.
Cured.
Several Killed Instantly.
It was so violent that several men
were killed at the surface, one man 90
feet away from the shaft entrance, hav-
ing his head torn away from his body.
Aroused by the terrific crash Of the
explosion, the members of the night
shift Of miners were speedily on the
ground, almost to man, volunteering
their services for rescue work. The
ventilating and hosting machinery had
been completely wrecked, however, 80
that much difficulty was experienced in
even entering the mine.
A way into the workings was finally
force through an adjacent shaft, but
even then rescue work was carried on
under circumstances Of the greatest
danger.
Some Are Saved.
By desperate exertion 371 Of the men
in the mine at the time Of the explo'
sion were gathered together, however,
and brought to the surface before the
fire had gained such headway as to
drive out the rescue parties.
Many Of the rescuers wept in their
grief at being compelled to abandon
the imprisoned men TO their fate, and
some had TO be dragged out forcibly, so
determined were they TO continue their
efforts, even IL their own lives paid
the forfeit
OF those who were rescued many Of
the miners were badly burned, and
some probably will succumb to their in.
