Mexican troops got TO the river on the morn
ing OF the 10Th. Ward showed the Mexican
lieutenant the trail, and at his invitation
crossed his men and joined the Mexican
troops. They followed the trail together all
day, going about y miles: as il had rained
heavily the trail was hard to follow, and an
other hard rain setting in they found il i'm
possible 10 follow il farther. The trail was left
ABOUT three miles from nearest town, and only
six or eight miles below where il crossed the
river. Ward says there was perfect good feel
ing among the Mexican soldiers and our own
and that the lieutenant offered to 90 with him
anywhere he thought the horses could be

THE CAUSE OF THE DISASTER STILL MYs-
Terry.
The work of digging for the bodies of the
victims OF the explosion at GreenfieldS candy
factory, IN New York. on Thursday evening
was continued throughout Saturday and YES
lefday saturday afternoon a body was dis
covered IN the Barclay street basement OF the
burnt factory. Eight feet OF the brick casing
OF the horizontal fue spoken of as possible
seat OF the explosion was uncovered on Satur-
day night and was found intact There is
nothing To make clear the origin of the eXplo-
sion. 1t may have been due, so chemists and
engineers say, To the admiXture of air i'm this
hue With the carbOnic oxide generated in the
combustion OF coal. but this is merely cOnjec-
lure. frof Doremus says that the OyeEheaIing
ol Sacclarlne matter may produce explosive
gases. The injuries of the wounded men and
the deaf h OF HertZberger all seem TO have come
from above and not from below. The noise
was like clashing of enormous cymbals and
was followed by an instant outburst of flame
above. Although the factory, as has been
stated, was lighted with kerosene, a gas pipe
was found ablaZe under the building, which
has directed suspicion to the probable eNplo-
sion Of an accumulation of gas under the
building similar TO that which occurred in
Boston some time ago. so far three dead
bodies baYe been recovered from the ruins.
and as seven other persons are still missing
who are known to have been in the building at
the time OF the explosion. the fatal casualties
