1100 Dead tn Mine Disaster. Paris, March 12.—The worst fears mothers, wives and children. An ex- plosion of fire damp caused the ca- lamity. The vast mortuary camp is under military guard, 400 soldiers having ar- rived there to assist in holding in check the crowds of distracted mourn- ers. For a time hope had been held out to the people that tappings on pipes by the imprisoned men had been heard, but gradually this hope van- ished and the people demanded ad- mission to see the bodies, and even threatened to break through the cor- don of troops, who had the greatest difficulty in keeping the crowds from the pit. One man named Sylvestre succeeded in entering the mine, but he never returned. It is believed he groped about inside until he was over- come by the gases and perished. It is reported that a rescue party number- ing 40 has been cut off by the caving in of one of the galleries. For the time being the mine build- ing has been transformed into a mor- tuary chamber, and all about in it lie the carbonized and almost unrecogniz- able bodies of miners which were taken there as they were brought up from the mine. Stricken relatives ar- rive at the mine building from time to time, searching for missing members of their families, and indescribable scenes of grief occur as women recog: nize loved ones. Heart-rending scenes, too, are wit- nessed about the mouth of pit number four, where in the presence of Minis- ters Dublef and Gauthier the bands of rescuers are continually descending and returning with bodies. The wom- en, with children in their arms, at- tempt to break through the cordon of troops which form a lane through which the body-bearers proceed to the ! mortuary chamber. Sometimes the bur- den consists of a mere heap of burnt flesh, and in nearly every case the body is terribly lacerated. Only one- half of the bodies recovered have been identified. Despite the danger incurred, the vol- | unteers, who include a number of those who were successful in escaping at the time of the explosion, do not hesitate to descend the shaft. Some of them have been down more than a dozen times. One of them after having brought up 14 bodies was suffocated on his 15th attempt, and it is feared that other fatalities among the volunteers will follow, as the air in the mines {is still impregnated with noxious gases. A number of the men engaged in res- cue work have already been brought to the surface unconscious, and as they were driven to their homes in closed | carriages the women folowed and broke the windows, suspecting that bodies were being hurried away. Several miners have come up from pit 11, which is connected with pit No. 8. They effected their escape by means of a ladder, and as they came from the | mouth of the pit they appeared to be bordering on madness. All of them were more or less injured. When asked | about their comrades, one of them ! sald: “It is horrible. dead” BATTLE WITH INDIAN OUTLAWS Ambushed and Killed Three United | States Marshals. Vinita, I. T,, March 13.—Heavily ! armed officers are hurrying from all parts of Indian territory to a place 25 miles southeast of Vinita, in the Cherokee Nation, where the Whick- liffe outlaws, Cherokee Indians, laid an ambush and killed three deputy marshals on Sunday night, and at last reports were still battling with two remaining officers. According to a report, Indians are going to the support of the Wickliffes. The ambush laid by the Wickliffes for the deputies on Sunday night was cleverly planned. The officers were led into it unsuspectingly, and were fired on without warning. The depu- ties fought desperately, but for a time escape for any of them seemed im- possible. Valentina Sentence Affirmed. Washington, March 13.—The su- preme court of the United States re- fused to grant a writ of habeas corpus in the case of Anna Valentina, the Italian woman who is under sentence of death at Hackensack, N. J, on the charge of murder in that city in 1904, thus affirming the decision of the cir cuit court.
