In tho piesence of a large crowd, despite the storm, which gathered to witnrss the' emerging of tho Fulton, that boat rose from the bottom if the bay this morning at 10:30 o'clock, ,. 'i all well anil greatly surprised' to vere was a storm raging. The test . -Iton's staying- powers was highly satu. .not only to the oiriccrs of the compa." built It, but to thoso who went to t. bottom In tho boat. They re port there was not the slightest discom fort to them during their more than fifteen hours of submersion benenth the surface. Captain Cable of the Holland company, who was Irf command, said that the boat could havo remained down for three months If there were food enough on board. Al though Ihrro were but six feet of water over, the top of the turrent, those on board foil nothing of the storm, .Through tho night there was a light rolling motion to the craft, but this was asrrlbed to the reg ular motion of the water and not to the disturbance which was rolling tho wave high nn the shore. , Immediately on coming to tho surfaco Fulton, under lis own power, ran along side tho dock and tied up. Hear Admiral l.owo and Lieutenant Ar thur MacArthur refused to go Into any discussion of tho pcrforniancn of the boat, except to say they would be satisfied to stay down longer. They are, however, known to bo enthusiastic over thp work of Fulton thus fur. Members of the crew say they experienced no difficulty In breath ing nnd that the air was all that could be desired nnd much purer and better than In nn ordinary closed room 'in which ar sovoral persons. Every pleco of machinery worked to perfection during the night. Tho men ate 'two meals wntlc under water and enjoyed them. Most of them obtained three or four hours' sleep.

Kvery few hours I wns awakened and made Inspections of the conditions. Early this morning Captain Cn blo called my attention to the pressure gauge which Indicated the depth. it showed that wu wore lower In tile water than at high tide last night, when we sub merged.

The longest tlmo that nny submarine, boat had been under water hero before In tho United States was threo hours. Lieu tenant Harry Cnllwcll kept Holland submerged that long In, tho Potomac last year. Fulton had never been under longer than about twenty-five minutes, when It made a two-mllo run submerged a few weeks ago. RAIN HELPS COAL CARRIERS ttUr In Pennarlvnnln.

The government claims to havo effected a landing at Chorrcra. routing tho enemy and recovering all the prisoners previously reported taken, with the exception of two. Among the number recovered, uccordlng to the government version, Is the nlcada of Taboga. The liberal version Is that the aleada was afraid to fight and when captured offered Domingo Diaz, the liberal loader. $10,000 If he would release him: that tho offer was accepted and that the alcada was al lowed to go after giving his word of honor not to nttempt to escape. The liberals also assert Hint General Alban effected a landing at Chorrcra after the liberals had withdrawn to Join the liberal forces march ing to the Empire station.

With the moderating tone of the Gcrmau press tho acute phase of tho Chamberlain Incident is regarded as already passed. Whether tho agltntlon will be renewed or dlo out will depond upon the attitude Count von Buelow, the German Imperial chancollor, assumes In the Rclcli stag. It has been reported that Count von Bue low will take a firm stand against Mr. Chamberlain's Edinburgh remarks, being nothing loth to use tho agitation In Ger many as a lever to nsslst tho navy pro gram of Emperor William. Tho discussion still continues In the press.- The Dally Chronlclo says this morning "It should bo plain to thoughtful Amer icans that this agitation In Germany Is an expression of animus, aimed not exclusively at one branch of the Anglo-Saxon race.

Tho dead bodies of tho lost party of eight well known mining men who entered the west mtno of tho Pocahontas of tho Collieries company's on Friday morning Inst nt 11 o'clock were recovered at 12:43 o'clock today. At 7 n. m. a rescuing party numbering forty, persons entered the main entrance, blattlclng tho mluo as they went In order to Improve the circulation of air. They had reached a distance of 3.600 from the entrance when they encountered such quantltlcn of white damp that It was Im possible to proceed further. Ilotrjrlng their Bteps they decided to make another at tempt from tho Tug rlvor entrance, somo six miles .across the Hat-top mountnln.

It Is said by members of tbo rescu Ing party that Hurst. Bell nnd Odham would hnrdly have lost tholr lives but for tho fact that they lost their way, entering a chamber 1R0 feet to tho left, or near one of tho passages from the Baby mine, in which the deadly white dump had accumu lated in grcnt quantity. The bodies were brought down from the mines in four wagons, bedded with straw nnd covered from tho snow, which has been coming down nil day, reaching tho Pocahontas wholesale grocery house, situated Just In tho rear of tho Union Btatlon, 'about 5 p. m where they1 will bo prepared for burial. Tho hodlcs are very much nwollen and hav ing bton attacked by mine rats, present a grueromo spectacle. The flto Is Still burning In Baby Mine and the mlno odlc'als seem at n loss to understand how It will bo finally ex tinguish. The only -way,Mt Is believed. Is by flooding. This will be an enormous un dertaking, ns the mine Is a drift mine.

An Investigation of the mine by Mr. Paul showed that sev eral pockets of black damp also existed In tho mine. Secretary nnd Treasurer Charles Thorno of Philadelphia, who was hero when tho men started Into tho mines last Friday, endeavored to dissuade them from entering, telling them he regarded tho venture a very perilous one. The hodlcs of tho victims wero hauled across Flat-Top mountain In road wagons to this city and are now In a church, which has been turned Into a morgue. Prominent coal men from Virginia nnd West Virginia aro hero at the request of tho Pocahontas Coal company for a consul tation, which was held last night. The men who formed tho rescue party today boarded up overy Bldo room In the main line Bhaft for n dlstanco of two miles bo us to nvold further danger from gas nnd the fans, which heretofore had revolved thirty two revolutions a minute, were speeded to 100 revolutions to force pure air through the mountnln, Notwithstanding this a number of pockets of firedamp were en countered nnd some of tho party today enmo near falling by the way.
