The publishers of “The American boy.” Detroit, Mich., have secured from Will Levington Comfort, who was the youngest newspaper correspondent in the Phillippines at thetime of the death of General Lawton an exciting story, based upon fact, relating the experience of the youngest correspondent in General Lawton’s army. The hero of the story was the first of j the newspaper correspondents to cable to America the news of the death of General Lawton at the hands of the' insurgents. Bvan almost superhutn | effort the boy correspondent who was ' with the army at the time of the I shooting, made his wav through the enemy’s country to the cable office | and flashed the news to America three , hours before anv other correspondents I got possession of the cable. It was a I notable aceievement on the part of a boy. The story begins in the Febru j ary number of “The American Bov.”

ALL GETTING GOOD Germany Seeks to Emphasize her Good Will Toward the United States. DECLARATION IN REICHSTAG Count Ven Buelow, the Chancellor, Announces That the German People Desire to Maintain the Friendliest Relations Toward Americans. Berlin, Jan. 23— During the debate on the estimates of the chancellors department in the relchstag yesterdav. tne imperial chancellor. Count Von Buelow, referred to the pleasant relations between Germany and the United States, and to the approaching visit of Prince Henry of Prussia, ihe chancellor found his opportunity in the remarks of Dr. Barth, leader of the Freisinnige yarty, who, in discussing the budget said: I want to touch upon the political relations between Germany and the United States, which are traditionally friendly in character. One hindrance to the promotion of this friendship is the protectionism now prevailing in Germany. It is pleasant, on the other hand, to see that the projected visit of a German prince to the United States has disclosed the existence of a large fund of good will and cordiality among the American people for Germany. We recognize in the Union not merely a great and economically effective community, but wo know that the achievements of the United States in other fields, such as civP'zation and culture, are very important The cul tivation of the friendship of the two countries is a thing to be grateful for." Replying to Dr. Barth Count Vos Buelow said: “I express mv thanks to Dr. Barth for the words and manner in which he has spoken of our relations with the United State*. I still must ask him not to over-estimate the difficulties from the wav in which we

formulate our tariff policy. “I can only repeat what I said three years in th* reichstag, and i hellers th* views I then set forth in detail will today meet with th* <wneurrnce es the house—namely. that | we are <ll*d with an earnest desk* to maiatain, on the banes es perfect reciprocity and mutual appreciation, the traditional good relations which have always existed between ourselves and the United State* The voyage of Prises Henry to America is an expression es these good relations, and I am convinced his reception will b» In aceord with the friendly feelings the two great nation* have for one another." The chancellor s statement was met | with prolonged sheers from all parts of the house. Deadly Tunnel Explosion.

A MININS HORROR Osksloosa, la.. Suddenly Thrown Into Mourning. Oskaloosa, la.. Jan 25 —Twenty one dead and eight terribly injured is the shocking record of a disaster at Lost Creek colliery yesterday afternoon. The explosion occurred at noon and was what is known as a dust explosion. The miners had just fired the i 1 usual noon shots, one of which proved to be a fizzle. The burning powder Ignited the gas and the explosion followed. Smoke and debris were blown out of the shaft 200 feet high Part of the top works were torn away and the fans and cages were partially wrecked. This made the work of rescue very slow and it was 3 o'clock before volunteer parties dared to venture into the cast entry where the explosion occurred. When they fought their way in a horrible sight greeted them. The dead and injured were terribly burned and mutilated, some of them almost bejond recognition. Fire, which it was at first feared would destroy the I entire mine, had broken out and this added terror to the spectacle. The flames were finally controlled and after several of the rescue party had succumbed to the fumes all the dead were found and carried to the top of the shaft. At the time of the explosion more than 100 men were in the mine, but all those except the men in the east entry escaped with only slight injury. The total property damage Will be about 810,000. It was nearly 6 o'clock last evening when the last of the dead was taken out and scenes of anguish amontf the families of the i men were most pitiful. Nearly all of I the men were married and leave famI lll*s In poor circumstances. The mine i is owned by the Lost Creek Fuel com I pany of this city and has been in op i eration about one year.
