Scofield, Utah. May I.—The English
language cannot describe the appal Ing
disaster which occurred hero a. t 80:25
o'clock thia morninK by an explosion tn
mine Xo. 4 of the Pleasant Valley Coal
Company and hr which certainly 3.0 men
and upward have lost their Ilves.
At this hoar 137 bodies have been
recovered, and the work of rescue Is
still proceeding and will continue un
til all the bodies are brought to the
surface.
There are willing hands at work and as
fast as bodies are reached they are
brought down to th* boardink houses and
other company buildings. where they are
dre.ssvd and prepared for the coroner’s
Inquest. These building* are numerous
and In each are from ten to thirty-five
b-dl.e. When a corpse Is brought out It
Is usually carried from the mouth of
each tunnel at the respective entrances
to the plaef of deposit.
The run val of the bodies began at 12
o’clock today an-1 every diligence la used
to act the charred ano mangled remains
out of the mine.
Many hundreds of men have freely vol
un tec ted their services and as fast as one
set or force Is tired or worn out others
take their peaces.
While the stench of smoke and powder
Is slckenlr.p. resemb ing much that of a
dissecting room, there ar* l-rave-hearted
and brawny men of muscle wr.o have
been continuously at work since the mo
ment of the explosion. As soon as the
acctdent was knows officials of the com
pany at Salt leak* City a>-d the railroad
company were notified of the disaster,
and though th* number of dead was re
ported b.wer than it r- ally U. It would
appear that everything that lies In their
power has been done.

Number of Men.
According to the closest estimate there
were about 398 men all told employed at
the two mines, which are practically one.
About fifty of these were working In
what Is known as the No. 1 back level,
which was so far from the explosion that
It had spent Its force before the shock
could reach them and they all got out.
They heard the report, but did not grasp
the situation at once, ono of the men
continuing to load a car after It occurred.
Up to noon 140 bodies had been brought
out. The theory of Bishop Parmale* is
that some of the Finns recently imported
eeretly took giant powder down into
the mine to assist them in their work.
They were exceedingly anxious to make
a good showing and as much money as
possible, and it Is thought this form of
explosive was used In order that great
bodies of coal could b* more easily dis
lodged. It Is thought that when the giant
powder was touched off it ignited some
of the dust of which everx. coal mine
has more or less.
Miners Bitter Against Company.
Th* miners are exceedingly bttter In

others hold no ono responsible.
John Wilson was blown with his horse

Three hundred and ninety-eight men
entered tho mine for work yesterday
morning and a great majority of them
have perished. It will not bo surprising
if tho total death figures aggregate 200.

Cremation Is Suggested.
Salt Lake. Utah. May B.—The latest
dispatch from Scofield says that
tho extrema estimate of dead Is now
conceited to have been too large, and
It Is numerically Impossible to place the
loss of life at 3 «t> as there were not that
many men In tho mine." The probabil
ities ar* that 230 will be about th* total
number of dead. Relatives of tho vl-w

There ar* not enough coffins In tho
camp to bury the dead and to add horror
to tho situation tho bodies are rapidly

cremation may have to be resorted to.

OTIS STRONG AFTER CHINESE.
Celestials Must Keep Out of the Phil

Manila, May I.—Major General Otis has
Issued an order which will have the effect
of stopping evasions of tho Chinese Immi
gration laws. Instead of tho certificate
of former residence issued by American
consuls at Chinese ports tho Chinese de
siring to enter the country must produce
a certificate proving former residence,
with proof that they still have property
»r domestic Interests in the Philippines.
Hitherto a surprising number of China
men have been arriving upon consular
certificates. Another order making
changes In the Spanish criminal proced
ure has been issued, giving an accused
ix-rson the right of habeas corpus, of be
ing confronted with witnesses against
himself, of open trial, of exempting the
accused from testifying against himself

American Loss Heavy at Catubig.
Manila, May 2.—The American
garrison at Catubig, Island of Samar,
consisting of thirty men belonging
to the Forty-third regiment, has been
attacked by rebels. Twenty of the
Americans were killed. The remain
der were rescued.
The Americans were quartered In
the Catubig church, which the ene
my, numbering several hundred men,
surrounded and fiercely attacked.
The Americans fought for two days
and then the rebels managed to ig
nite the roof of the church, and it
burned away and finally fell upon
those Inside the edifice. The walls
remained Intact, however, and were
used as a shelter by the besieged
Americans for three days longer, the
enemy attacking the building on all
sides at once.
The Americans continued firing
from the windows and doors of the
churclx and did gia-at execution,
among the Filipinos. It is estimat
ed that over 200 of the latter were
killed, many dead bodies being re
moved from the scene of the fighting.
After five days’ resistance by the
men. a lieutenant and eight men ar
rived and relieved the men.
The fortunate arrival of these re
enforcements prevented the anni
hilation of the American force en
trenched in the church who had re
peatedly c’eclined to surrender when
ordered to do so by the Filipinos.
The ten survivors were without
food, had little ammunition and were
physically exhausted when relieved.
This fight has encouraged the Fil
ipinos, who are now acting in an ag
gressive manner and threatening
that section of the country, especially
the town of Catarma, when the gar
rison probably will be withdrawn to
Laon.
No Report from General Otis.
Washington, May 2.—General Otis has
so far not reported to the war depart
ment the casualties sustained by tho
American garrison at Catubig. Tho offi
cials believe that he Is holding back the
news with tho object of supplying with
it tho names of tho victims of the siege.
Tho loss reported In killed Is the most
severe suffered by the American forces
since tho beginning of the insurrection,
but even so, the officials at the war de
partment could not but express their
admiration for the heroic endurance and
courage displayed by the little garrison
Tho department is not Informal as to
the composition of this particular garri
son, having only a rough statement from
the commanding general of tho disposi
tion of each regiment among certain
Islands, without particulars of the loca
tion of each company.
Tho officers at the department who
have seen service in the I’hilippines are
not surprised at the fact that an officer
with eight soldiers was able tc raise tha
siege. They say that the Filipinos were
probably dismayed at the extent of tho
punishment inflicted upon them by tho
garrison beforo the relieving party cams
near, and thjn they supposed It was but
the advance guard of a for nidablo force
mid ran off.
Four Americans Killed.
Manila. May 3. —A dispatch received hero
today from Hollo reports that a desperate
fight took place at Leambanao, In the cen
ter of tho Island of Panay. It appears
that a reconnoitering party of tho Twen
ty*slxth Infantry was surrounded and
that four of tho Americans were killed
und that sixteen others severely wound
ed were left on the field. Tho remainder
of the soldiers had a narrow escape. Tho
dispatch adds that re-enforcements were
