not been recovered clamorously de
manded that efforts be redoubled to
bring out any possible survivors.
There ia a report that there were
fi\e others who came almost to the bot
tom of the pit yesterday, but were
unable to continue on account of ex-
naustion.
Ihe total number men missing
after the catastrophe was 1,212. The
bodies recovered numbered approxi
mately 500. The others are still unac
counted for.
Explain Away Failure.
The engineers explain that smoulder
ing firos prevented them from exploring
remote passages of the mine, wnere it
was thought that there could be no sur
vivors. The mine owners also claim
that the strike reduced the number of
available rescuers.
Many engineers and scientists agree
that all in the mine must have died long
jgo Engineer Laur, however, dis
sents, asserting that the salvage work
has been deplorably inefficient, and he
believes that scores died of exhaustion,
owing to the poor work of the salvage
companies.
The families of the miners are
tenselv indignant. They claim that
salvage operations were never under
taken i the part of the mine from
which rSTetr and his companions
escaped and disorders are expected. The
most severe repressive measures have
been takeu.

flashed across the Atlantic ocean, from

For several nights^ past the Coney

was sent out from the Coney Island

Special Correspondence W A Otis. 4,
San Antonio, Texas, March 28.The
Falfurrlas country, some 180 miles south ^3
of this city, retains so much of romance A
as is contained in the name Falfurrlas, *"i
meaning "Heart's Delight." Further than
this romance gives way to aggressive de
velopment.
When I was there a week ago I saw
new cabbages being packed for shipment
Bermuda onions twelve inches high,
which will be marketed early in April
young orange trees that will bear this i
year. Falfurrlas produce gets to the mar
ket a month ahead of that from any other
point in the states. This assures the
highest market prices.
One year ago there was little at Fal
furrlas. Today it is a hustling town sur
rounded by farmers, who have been
brought there by the Falfurrias Immigra
tion company. Every one fthese farm
era has made money from the start.
a northerner It seems Incredible even
when he sees these fanners planting, and
harvesting every month in the year. Yet
that is just what is going on. This feat
ure alone is worth a trip to the Falfurrlas

ing up a reputation for the treatment of diseases peculiar to the womanly
organs and functions. This reputation is founded upon the solid rocks of
