CASIMIR-PER1ER WILL EXPLAIN Paris, July 17-- In connection with the multiplicity of stories in the newspapers, attributing to former President Casimir a Perier, a variety of misdeeds in connection with the Dreyfus affair, a curious semi-official note was: issued this afternoon.

ABANDONED. Great Results oftawton's Now Apparent.

Manila, June 17. The town of Imus, which the Spaniards required months to capture, is peacefully garrisoned by two of the Fourteenth Infantry. A white flag was floating from the church tower as the Americans eritered. Many of the inhabitants, who had been terrified by the insurgents, fled from the town as Lieutenant scouts marctaed in, but later they began to return at the solicitation of the mayor. The town occupies a naturally strong position on a deep river, with steep banks.

One bridge spans the river. The church and arsenal were found to be loop-holed for rifles. Quantities of shells and ammunition were left by the rebels, evidence of their hasty retreat. The people of tha town are poverty-stricken. The mayor of Imus, carrying a gold- headed cane and wearing his badge of authority, walked into Bacoor and formally surrendered his town.

He was sent to General Lawton at Las Pinas. The mayor told General Lawton that the people of Imus were very glad that the Americans had come. He said that the insurgents passed through Imus In utter confusion, carrying with them 100 dead and 300 wounded. Thirteen of their dead were buried at The removal of the insurgent arsenal, cartridge factory and powder mill at Imus was begun on Monday, and was hardly completed when tha insurgents, 2000 strong, retreated to Buenavlsta and Perez Dasmarinas. Apparently, the backbone of the Insurrection In the Cavite province is broken.

Yesterday morning tha road was reported clear to Cavite. Inhabitants of Cavite el Viejo walked to Bacoor to sell supplies. The -brief campaign has been more effective than even General Lawton anticipated. A priest at Las Pinas told General Lawton that 4000 rebels were defending Zapote. Bach man swore upon the criclflx he would only leave the field dead.

General Lawton thinks that their defeat under such circumstances accounts for the demoralization of the rebels. The insurgents made the pluckiest stand they have made In the course of the war. The fight at Zapote bridge w.as terrific. The rebels had 20-foot 'fortifications, but our men were unprotected. Tho short range made it possible to use artillery, and the mountain guns were flred at 25 yards.

The Krag-Jorgensens blew ths rebels' heads to pieces like shells. After cutting the railroad and telegraph at Apalit, seven miles south, for the purpose of covering connections, the rebels attacked General MacArthur'a on Sixth Killed Colorad Hyannis, June Hill, white, living at Hyannisport, shot and killed his wife, Mary, colored, lastnlrht.

North Sidney, B. June 17-- Fire is still burning at the Caledonia mines where the disaster occurred yesterday. The chances for extinguishing It are said to be good.

considerable difficulty the position of the fire was located and a body of volunteers attacked the flames with water. This wock was carried on vigorously for several hours, when it wae found that the extent of the fire and the difficulties of fighting it rendered the efforts useless. The men who lost their lives in the disaster are: Thomas Johnston, underground manager; John Doyle, and John Doyle, father and son, the latter leaving a wife three -children; Arthur Grant, leaving a wife and three children; Alexander McDonald, leaving a wife and eight children; Stephen Mc- Corroiek, wife and six children; Rory D. McDougall, wife and three children; Neil McDonald, unmarried; Malcolm Me Auley," unmarried; Donald Martin, wife and two children; William Simpson, unmarried. All the bodies have-been recovered except that of Martin.

Not until the bodies of the men began to be brought up in the cage did the stricken people of the town begin to realize the awfulness of the disaster. It was about 5 o'clock that the whistle, announcing something wrong in the mine, was blown. In a very short time the streets were crowded with people. When the news of the disaster spread they flocked toward the engine house, where they learned the particulars. Johnston when found was near one of the cross-cut doors.

It is supposed tried to open it with his left hand, as his leftfside Is burned terribly. He was undoubtedly killed by the force of tha txplosion. The others who were with him were choked with fire damp. The scene In the pit was of a most weird character. The dead men were thrown promiscuously into the box cars and rushed to the cage.

As they passed by the sight was a gruesome one. Darkness was only broken by the pale flicker- Ing light of the lamps in the hands of rescuers. The box cars went by containing one body piled on top of the other. The rescuing party were staggering under the influence of the gas. They were almost blinded with the smoke that was pouring down in volumes upon them.

Now and again it would cease and thus give the men time to go on with gruesome task of finding tha bodies. One of the men was found with his hands round a post. McCormluk was found with a handkerchief across his mouth. He evidently knew -what was coming and took precaution to save his but, of no avail. A waistcoat was found over his head.

He probably went Into one of the roomd to save a mate, but the damp had' become so dense that he finally succumbed. McAuley was found with his head between the rails. The others were found in different attitudes and positions, all of which went to show that the men were overcome suddenly, and had but little time to attempt to escape. The scene about the engine house was teost' touching. Women and children were weeping and men were talking 1 in subdued tones.

The place was thronged. There was a steady downpour of rain, which only added to the weirdness of the scene. The coal in the west deep, as well as the timber, Is on flre. The air currents changed several times while the volunteers wera in the pit. This would indicate that an explosion had taken place in the west deep.

Thomas Brown, manager of Caledonia, went down with the rescue volunteers and was knocked senseless 'by the second explosion. He was carried from the pit unconscious, but will recover.
