ECCLES, W. VA, April 29.—Flamess
and great clouds of smoke pouring
from Mine No. 5 and Mine No. 6 of
the New River Collieries Company to
day drove back heroic rescuers, and
all hope was abandoned of rescuing
any of the 187 miners stili entombed
there as the resuit of the explosion
vesterday afternoon. All are belleved
to be dead.
Many explosions were heard during
the night, indicating that “gas pock

| One hundred and seventy-seven e
'thn men given up for dead are in
Mine No. 5. Ten are trapped in Mine
’Nn'v. 6, from which eleven bodies have
[hor‘n taken—silent witnesses to the
force of the blast.
With 187 men still in the mines
given up for dead, the total death list
is 198, which is. with one exception,
the worst mine disaster in the State’s
history.
Sixtyv-five men, who escaped by
their own efforts from Mine No. 6, or
were brought out by rescuers before
the flames checked further efforts

‘German Soprano Makes Tremen

city’s peonle that dotes on grand
opera, is awaiting with an unprece
| dented eagerness the 8 o'clock cur
tain.
l For Margarete Cher, though hiding
her fresh, youthfil charms beneath
the rags and gray smudge and white
property wig of the ancient gypsy
Azucena, won Atlanta for her own at
Tuesday's performance of “lli Trova
tore.” beloved among operas. A new
lsmr is fixed in Atlanta’'s musical
’r':rmumenx.
|' Fifteen times the afternoon crow®
| in the sultry Auditorium recalled her
| and Riceardo Martin hefore the big
red curtain to accept flattering hom
age. She bowed and smiled and
kissed her hand and otherwise acted
like the very girl she is; and then
came back at the insistent call. Her
contralto, clear, rich, sweet, was that
of another Homer. Her acting was
passionate and effective.
Gadski Also Given Ovation.
But, as occurred on another mem
orabie occasion, there was honor
enough for all. Johanna Gadski, well
known and well beloved in Atlanta,
shared, as a brilliant Leonora, her
laurels, and it seemed as if the crowd
would never have done with calling
Martin, the Manrico, and Amato, the
(‘ount, back to accept applause. Mere
thunder of hand-clapping did not
Beem to suffice for their judgment of
Amato: the enthusiastic among the
cognoscenti who thronged the big
house lifted their voices in palpable
vells when he came out alone to bow
and heam In that masterful, modest
way of his.
It is alwaes thus when “Il Travo
tore'” is well done, however. Slight
ed by scme of the loftiest leaders in
the world of music, this opera has
withal the melodious, poignant ele
ments to cateh the ear and the neart
of people everywhere, and to quicken
the common pulse. It has ever been a
favorite, with its romantie theme laid’
bare by the most naive, plaintive mu
sic ever written; there is a human
throb and a lack of complexity from
first to last Hence, it is beloved, as

troops and were allowed to go to
Mexico (ity. ;
More Americans Arrested.
News has reached here that 48 more
Americans have been arrested by the
Federals at (‘ordoba, making a total
of 84 who are now in prison there.
An unconfirmed report says that
six of the Americans imprisoned there
have been taken out and killed. Ad
miral Fletcher and Consul Canada
have taken steps to have this report
investigated.
D. F. Anderson, of Texas, nianmt
of the Mexican Land and Cattle
Company, is reported to have been
killed at C‘osmolpotam, about sixty
miles south of Vera Cruz, by a mob
that beat him to death because he
was an Amerfican. The report is un

‘ The men were all heavily armed
and rode in a special train on the

Captain Huse, chief of staff to Rear
