‘MINE DISASTER KILLS OVER 350 Out of 380 Workmen, Only Six Es- cape Alive and Uninjured. THIRTY-FIVE BADLY INJURED Rescue Work Is Stopped by Flames and 302 Men Are Abandoned to Fate. Hamm, Westphalia, Germany.—The greatest mine disaster in many years fn Germany occurred November 12 at the Radbod mine, about three miles from this place. There was a heavy explosion in the mine about 4 o'clock a. m., and almost immediately the mine took fire. Of 380 miners working underground at the time, only six escaped with- out injury. Thirty-five were taken out badly injured and 37 were dead when brought to the mouth of the pit. The remaining 302 have been given up for lost. Rescue Work Impossible. The explosion, which was unusual- ly violent, destroyed one of the shafts, which had to be partly repair- ed before the rescue work was be- gun. In addition, the flames ana smoke proved almost insurmounta- ble obstacles in the early efforts of the rescuing parties. A special corps, composed of the men who rendered such valuable aid in the terrible mine disaster at Cour- rieres, France, in March of 1906, ar- rived upon the scene shortly before noon, but were unable to enter the mine, being forced to await the re- sult of the determined efforts of the firemen to keep the flames in check. Heartrendinng Scenes. Meantime, heartrending scenes were being enacted at the mine when the dead and wounded were brought to the surface, and there were similar scenes in the town when the injured were transported through the streets to the hospitals. At 1 o'clock the fire sultation of the engineers, it was de- .cided that any further attempts to rescue the entombed men were vain, owing to the impossibility of enter- ing the galleries. At the same time an order was issued to flood the mine. First reports indicated that the ac- cident was the result of an explosion of coal dust, but the statement of the injured men rendered this im- probable and it is not clear just what caused it. SIX CHINAMEN DROWNED Boat in Which They Tried to Cross from Canada Wrecked. Buffalo, N. Y.—A motor boat con- taining 10 Chinamen and three white men was wrecked on the break wall off the foot of Michigan street. Six of the Chinamen were drowned or dashed to death against the rock- ribbed sea wall. The four survivors were rescued by the crew of a po- lice boat. The three white men es- caped and the Federal authorities and local detective force are scouring the city endeavoring to round up men suspected of being engaged in the smuggling of Chinamen into this country from Canada. At first it was supposed the white men perished, but from one of the surviving Chinamen it was learned that they succeeded in clambering over the slippery rocks and fled, leav- ing the Chinamen to their fate. Mock Quong, cne of the rescued Chinamen, speaks fairly good Eng- lish, which he learned in a South Bend, Ind., Sunday school class. He told the immigration inspectors that the 10 Chinamen left Toronto a week ago and had been lodged in a barn on the Canadian side of the lake. Last night they were taken to the lake by three white men and placed in a motor boat, which also had a row boat in tow. They had been on tne water about half an hour when the wind blew up strong and the water became very rough. PREPARED FOR BLOCKADE Seaports of “Venezuela Provisioned and Defenses Strengthened in Anticipation. Caracas.—With the placing in po- sition of mountain artillery at vari- ous stragetic positions about LaGuai- ra, so as to prevent any attempted landing from Holland's warships if they come to Venezuela with hostile intent, President Castro has complet- ed his preparations for the defense of Venezuela's principal seaport and gateway to Caracas. Not only have the Venezuelan army and navy made preparations for a blockade, but also the merchants of both LaGuaira and Caracas. All of the salt in LaGuaira was purchased by a prominent politician and the en- tire stock of the flour mill was ac- quired by influential interests. usually large importations of rice and other provisions have been received from Europe by the principal import: ers, who instructed their European eonnections to make heavy shipments if they were convinced, after making investigation, that Holland meant tusiness.

Fredericksburg, Va.— Once more the Blue and the Gray joined hands as an expression of the ended enmity which once existed among them and which had long since been forgotten. The occasion was the unveilinng of the General A. A. Humphreys divl- sion monument, erected in the Na- tional cemetery here by the State of Pennsylvania.

Coolrick of the cor- poration court of this city, and a private in the Confederate artillery, made the address of welcome in be- half of this city and the Confederate veterans. He was responded to by Governor Edwin S. Stuart of Penn- sylvania. The monument was formally trans- ferred to Governor Stuart by George I. Baer, president of the commis- sion. To the strains of the “Star Span- gled Banner” and amidst the cheer- ing of thte darge crowd present, Miss Letitia A. Humphreys, daughter of Generau Humphreys, pulled the string which disclosed the monument to view. Governor Stuart then accepted the monument on behalf of the State of Pennsylvania and then transferred it to the care of the United States Government, Assistant Secretary of War Robert Shaw Oliver receiving it. Colonel Alexander McClure, of Phil- adelphia, was scheduled to make an address, but owing to his advanced age, he designated D. Watson Rowe to read his prepared speech. Governor Stuart of Pennsylvania, and his staff, in uniform; President George F. Baer, of the Readinng rail- road, accompanied by Admiral Schley, the German ambassador, Assistant Secretary of War Robert Shaw Oliver and a number of other distinguished guests arrived last night on their special trann, and left this evening for their respective homes.

TERRIBLE HARDSHIPS ON ISTHMUS OF PANAMA Two Killed in Fight With Indians and One Dies from Dread Illness. New York.—Baron B. B. von Teu- ber, who arrived on the steamer Mag- dela from West Indian ports, told a thriMing story of a gold hunting ex- pedition in Panama, north of the canal zone, which resulted in the death of three members of his party. The baron, with his brother and three mining engineers, who left this city several] molths ago for the gold and anthracite fields in the northern part of the Isthmus of Panama, final- ly started with two Indian guides north from Colon, through what prov- ed to be country jealously held by exceedingly hos‘lle Indians. A mid- night encounter =esulted in the fatal shooting of the Indian guides. Left thus in a strange, practically trailless country, they wandered help- lessly. The three engineers were soon stricken with frightful fevers. made for the coast with the sick men, encountering constant hardships. John Brarley, one of the engineers, died in a boat they had hastily con- structed, but Frederick Smith and Peter Bartlett were finally taken to the Ancon hospital, slowly recovering. The baron brought a collecticn of old idols, which he wil] present to a museum. PRESIDENT’S AFRICAN TRIP Not to Be Slaughtering Expedition, Dectamias One Who Will Go Along. New A. Mearns, stationed at Fort Totten, L. I, has been called to Washinngton to consult with President Roosevelt concerning the final details of the African hunting trip. Dr. Mearns, who is a member of the Smithsonian irstitution and one of the founders cf the American Ornithologists’ union, is to go with Mr. Roosevelt on the hunt. Dr. Mearns is quoted as saying that the President’s trip is not to be a slaughtering expedition, but one de- voted to the interests of science. In- stead of taking a crack at every beast in the jungle every time a head shows itself, the President will con- tent himself with securing two or three specimens of each sort of wild beast that may be found in the sec- tion visited. The trophies of Mr. Roosevelt’s skill with rifle and smooth-bore are to be placed in the United States museum at Washing- ton. The start for Africa will be made | very shortly after March 4. The { hunting party will consist of five.

BODIES BURNED IN WRECKAGE Two Freight Trains on Union Pacific Railroad Collide and Eleven Men Are Dead. New Orleans.—It was a heavy prige J in human life that paid for the errors of rallroad trainmen when a Great Northern express crashed into the rear of a New Orleans & Northeast ern local train at Littlewoods station, a fishing and hunting camp on Lake Ponchartrain, 12 miles from New Or- leans. Eight dead, many more injured, some of them fatally, is the record of the wreck, which was attended by unusually gruesome scemes in the foggy swamps of the lake shore. The eck caught fire and only the heroic work of the surviving passengers prevented the cremation of those pinned in the debris. The dead—C. B. Lowrey, of Lexing: ton, Ky.; Prof. C. E. Roos, New Or- leans university; William A. Martin, of Slidell, La.; William Attaway, 3 years old, Slidell, La.; Ora Travis, Hattiesburg, Miss.; J. H. Shows, Mor: riston, Miss.; C. A. Crawford, Sem: inary, Miss.,, Augustus Neitkampf, Heal River, Miss. Train Late; Someone Blunders. Between Slidell and New Orleans the Great Northern trains run over the tracks of the New Orleans & Northeastern road. A local train of the Northeastern is due in New Or- leas 20 minutes before the fast Great Northern train from Coving- ton. The Northeastern train was late and the difference of 20 minutes between the running of the trains was considerably reduced. As Little- woods was approached the Northeast: ern local suddenly loomed up through the fog. Engineer Blackman applied the brakes and remained at the throt- tle while the ponderous locomotive plowed part way through the train ahead. No one on the Great Northern ex- press was seriously hurt, and the passengers did all they could to res- cue the injured.
