hair-in fact, both men are thought to be
Cubans by those who saw them. The men
took the road toward Black creek, three
miles away. Two hours later the shock Of
big explosion was heard and aroused
much curiosity Other explosions soon fol
lowed The effect Of the explosions was
very severe.
The same men who were seen in the
morning were again seen when they took
