Beck, a miner, were killed s'-.ort-ly before noon by an explosion i 1 the Vindicator Mine. Officers of thr Vindicator Mining Co. assert that '.hr explosion was caused by an infernal machine. and 400 militiamen have been placed on guard around the cSmpany's properties. Superintendent McCormack and Miner Beck were descending into the mine in the cage. They were the only passengers. When the cage reached the sixth level the explosion occurred, wrecking the cage and shaft and instantly killing both men. The explosion, which was terrific, was heard at the surface, and at first was believed to be an earthquake. The engineer hastily reversed the hoist, but could not pbl! up the cage, and the bodies were recovered only after several honrs* work, being brought to the surface through the second compartment of the shaft. After a thorough examination of the shaft it is positively asserted by officers of the mining company that the explosion was caused by an infernal machine.

At the last Cabinet meeting it was decided to make no effort to ratify the Isthmian Canal treaty here until it is

ratified at Panama.

The adoiinist ration has determined that there shall lie no repetition of the failure of Colombia to complete fhe rati ficstion of the treaty after final action had been taken by the United State*

Senate,

The treaty will be placed in the hands of the Panama commissioners now in Washington and by them it win be taken to Panama. The government there, it i«'anticipated, will ratify it promptly. It is expected that it will br returned to Washington bearing the sea' of the Panama government early in December. President Roosevelt then will transmit the treaty to the Senate with a request for iu ratification. The commission from Panama, accompanied by the Panama minister, M Philippe Bunau-Varilla, was received at the State Department by Secretary Hay The exchange', while informal, were most cordial, and were in English. Thr Secretary first greeted Dr. Amador, and then shook hands with Mr. Boyd, thr other member of the comniissioa, and with the Minister. Dr. Amador informed the Serretarj that the commissioners had carefully in sptxted the Hay-Bunan-Varilla treaty and desired to take this opportunity o' expressing their entire satisfaction will its terms. Dr. Amador assured the Sec retary that no time would be lost in its ratification by the Panama government Jfe then paid a tribute to the services which the Panama Minister had performed ia so promptly negotiating the convention. After these felicitations the Secretory and the commissioners discussed the ifuture of the republic. It was pointed out by the Minister that the Junta felt that it must first accomplish the mission to ^bii* it was called by the entire people of Panama, namely, ratify the Canal Treaty, and that then it would turn its attention to the equally important though "less immediate" work of- establishing a more usual form of gov-

ernment.

The resolution doses with the following declaration: — I'That the foregoing resolutions are in-

spired not by a desire to annex forcibly or to assert sovereignty over, the Island of Cuba, or to exercise any form ol compulsion; but solely by a regard fot the interest of the two countries and s conviction that the interests of the State: dwnposmg the Federal Union and Cuba are identical, and that they can be best secured by a unimi under one form ol government in which all shall be represented on equal terms and be governeT by equal and undiscriminating laws, in spring freedom of trade and equality ol
