BURNS TO DEATH IN AUTO.
Young Man lncinerated When Machine
ExpIodes.

Lynchburg, Va.-Raymond Vaughan.
about rs years old, was burned to
death after the seven-passenger auto
mobile he was driving was demolished
by a local train on the Southern Rail-
way east of the city, and Mrs. Jack
PeTow. who was with him, was also
horribly, if not fatally, burned. The
woman was being taken home from a
shoe factory picnic and the car was
struck before the rear wheels cleared
the track. This burst the gasoline
tank and instantly the flames roared
high above the train as it passed.
Neither of the victims was injured by
the collision and passengers on the
train stood helpless and saw Vaughan
roast to death.

Eccles, w. Va.-Fifty bodies have
been located at the bottom of the
New River Galleries Company Mine
No. here, in which the second great
est mine explosion in the territory
of the State occurred.
The rescuing party, after spending
four hours in exploring, reported that
they observed no signs of life in the
mine. This is taken as almost con-
elusive evidence that all of the 172
men who were in the main shaft and
the entries when the catastrophe took
place have persisted and that 1S1 lives
have been exacted by the tragedy
which has cast q shadow over this en-
tire community.
The death roll includes the eight
men who were killed in Mine No. 6,
about 900 yards away, and the one
man who died later in the McKendree
Hospital
The rescuers so far have made no
attempt to remove the bodies, but
have confined their efforts to search

Scene at Bottom of Mine Chaotic.
After descending the 500 feet to the
base of the shaft, "the cage" in which
they rode rested upon two mine cars,
which the force of the explosion had
piled UP under them. They alighted
with difficulty and began their search
The scene was chaotic. Three dead
mules, their bodies mangled, lay near
the cage. Beside them were the cars
they had drawn demolished
The searchers traversed the main
southwark entry to it's length, about
1000 feet. In their path, half covered
by broken stone, coal and splintered
timbers, lay bodies of men. Pausing
only long enough to make sure that
life was extinct, they pressed forward.
An electric motor car was lying on
its side in their path. They clam
bered over and found the mangled
body of the motorman. He had been
hurled about 80 feet

BLOCK WAY TO
MEXICO CITY
General Navarete Comes 10 Aid
of Mas.
STRONGHOLD IN MOUNTAINS.
Cavalry, Artillery and Infantry In
trenched In a Place Affording
Splendid Cover For Big Guns
and sharpshooters.

New York; General Navarete, with
5000 men, including cavalry, artillery
and infantry, has encamped 100 miles
from Vera Cruz and will assist Gen
eral Mas in attempting to block any
attempt by American forces to march
from Vera Cruz to Mexico City.
Mexicans are preparing to contest
every step of the way, reliable advices
say. The troops of General Navarete
occupy strong position, ideally
chosen for the placing of big gunssin
mountain Businesses, and affording
splendid cover for the operations of
scattered bands Of sharpshooters.
General Mas, despite reports to the
contrary, has an efficient fighting force
stretched along the railroad line be-
tween Vera Cruz and Mexico City.
Each of his soldiers carries 100 rounds
of ammunition, they carry rifles of
modern type and their food supplies
are ample The number of men under
his command cannot be estimated as
they are widely scattered. but the out
posts guard the approaches to noun
tains where he could withstand the as
saults of large army with. compare
lively few men.
The French consul at Cordoba had
an interview with General Mas at
Paso del Facho, n miles from Vera
Cruz, trying to arrange a guarantee of
safe conduct for a French. courier to
Mexico City. In order to reach Paso
del Macho the consul was obliged to
walk about two miles, for which dis
lance the railroad tracks had been torn
up by General Mas orders. The de-
struction Of the railroad was still pro
ceeding as the consul boarded a train
at the end Of the break in the road.

rines who were killed at the occupa-
ton of Vera Cruz will be honored with
funeral services of a national charac-
ter on the arrival of their bodies
aboard the United States cruiser Mon
tana at New York, the Navy Depart
ment announced.
Secretary Daniels said that arrange
ments for the services had been placed
in the hands of Capt. Albert Gleaves,
commandment of the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, and Capt. H. o. Dunno, naval
supervisor of New York harbor. They
have been instructed to cooperate
with the civil authorities in New York
city, should there be any desire there
to arrange for a general demonstra-
ton of respect 1t was tentatively
suggested that funeral procession
from the battery to the Brooklyn
bridge and thence to the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, followed by military mass
at the marine barracks there might be
arranged.
From New York the bodies will be
sent at government expense to the
homes of relatives, and Secretary Dam
iels said that naval honors would be
accorded at burial services where de-
sired. Already arrangements have
been made for an escort from the
naval training station on Lake Michi-
gan for the burial procession in Chi
cago for Samuel Meisenberg. private
of marines. whose home was in that
city, and similar arrangements have
been made at Mobile. Ala, in. honor of

LATEST PHASE or MEXICAN
AFFAIR.

The A. 8. G. mediators have
eliminated carranza from the
peace proposals. They have noti-
field him that as he has refused to
agree to an armistice, the invita-
tion to him to join in the Mexican
proceedings is withdrawn, and
that he need not send represent
fative.
General Huerta has named his
two delegates to advise with the
peace mediators.
Rumors persist that Huerta Is
In desperate straits. He is said
70 have quarreIed with General
Banquet, his minister Of war.
It is believed that in view of
the position taken by carranza
that the scope of the mediation
will be limited to reparation for
the Tampico incident.
General Fupston reported that
the federals demanded the surren-
der of the waterworks at Vera
Cruz again, but took no hostile
action.
pr. Edward Ryan, the American,
who had been sentenced to death,
was brought to Mexico City for

Washington, D. General Car
rama and the Constitutionalists were
practically eliminated from the pro
ceedings of the three South American
ENJOYS who have undertaken to solve
the Mexican problem by diplomacy.
In telegram to General Carranza
the medfators announced that in view
of his refusal to agree to an armistice
with General F1uerta, they withdrew
their invitation to him to send a per
sonal representative to participate in
the mediation negotiations.
The mediators told the Constitution
alist leader that as long as he main
tanned his present attitude they must
decline to treat with him.
Excluded General Situation.
General Carranza had inquired in q
note to the ENJOYS what subjects a
special representative might be requir
ed to discuss, pointing out that if the
general problem of pacifying Mexico
were to be approached he could not
authorize anyone to participate in the
negotiations. He reiterated that he
would consent to mediation only on
the incidents which had brought about
controversy between the United
States and Mexico holding that he
was the constitutionally chosen leader
to whom complaint about the insult
at Tampico and other offenses origin
ally should have been made.
Arbitration Limited.
Earlier in the day it became known
that in view of the unyielding attitude
Of the Constitutionalists mediation
virtually would be limited to the ar.
rest Of American marines at Tampico
and other offenses which had brought
the Huerta government and the United
States to the verge of war.

REBELS THREATEN MAYO.
Will Fire Oil Wells II He Enters
Panuco River.


Vera Cruz-The constitutionalists
at Tampico have notified Rear Admiral
Mayo, commander of the American
warships stationed there, that if any
of his vessels attempted to enter the
Panuco River the oil reservoirs above
the city would be emptied and the oil
ignited. which would mean certain de,
struction to the town.
This situation was reported by the
commander Of the United States tor.
pedo-boat destroyer Jenkins, which
arrived at Vera Cruz from Tampico.
Both the federals and the rebels are
reported to have planted mines in
Tampico harbor,
It is generally thought here that AID,
miral Mayo will await the capture Of
the city by the rebels through the slow
process Of starving out the federals.

Duluth, Minn.-That the steamer

Vera Cruz.-Mexicans appealing to
American troops to protect them from
the depredations of Medcans was the
strange spectacle presented at Gen

was made by Jose Minas for himself
and party Of Mexican ranchers who
reported to the American commander
that the federal troops of General
Mas were raiding the country be-
yond the American outposts and run
ming off cattle.
The ranchers asked permission to
send their cattle within the American

request and instructed Colonel Waltz
