Provisional Government Formed by
the Revo1utionists.

SANTO DOMINGO. Sept. 1.-The rev.
olutionists have formed the following
provisional Governments President,
Horatio Varquez; Minister of Interior
Jose Brache; Minister of War, Ramon
Caiceres; Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Domingo Ferreras; Minister of Finance,
Samuel Moya; Minister of Agriculture,
Artuero Zeno: Minister of Posts and
Telegraphs, Jose Fro Guzman.
The seat of the provisional Govern
ment UP to the present has been at
Moca
There was some disorder here. The
residences of Amiami Diamaron, former
Minister Henriquez and that of former
Governor Pichardo were stoned. No
body, however, was injured.
Henriquez has resigned, and it is
supposed that the other Ministers will
do the same.

On receipt of a telegram from Jime-

liberty and is leaving Santiago de Cuba
for Puerto Plata, General Imbert, the
actual Governor of Puerto Plata, has
announced that Jimenes will soon ar

and the population is calm.
General Guellito, the Governor of

The Skeleton Seen by KeeIer Near
Pacheco Pass.

SAN JOSE, Sept. 1-Sheriff Lang
ford and Deputy Rieves have reached
here from their unsuccessful hunt for
the skeleton seen in the mountains
near Pacheco Pass. The Sheriff SAYS
there is no earthly doubt but that the
skeleton is there, just as Fred Keeler
of Visalia says he saw it. Keeler is n
reliable young man. He was lost and
badly frightened when he stumbled
across the remains, and only sought to
get away from the place and into the
road once more.
The belief which the searching Off
GERS have had that the bones are those
of Dunham has become almost a pro-
found conviction. Sheriff Langford
has determined to find them and he
is now preparing to organize big
searching party equipped to stay i'll
that deSolate country for days. 1t is
possible that the Sheriffs of Fresno,
Merced and San Bonito Counties will
be asked to join with a similarly equip
ped party. Langford would not have
given up the search when he did but
for the fact that Keeler was forced TO
be in Visalia to-day. He will arrange
his affairs and join the Sheriff in the
next hunt, which will probably be some
time next week. Langford says all
facts known point to the remains being
those of Dunham

Boiler al the Repuh lie Iron
Works Bursts,
Resulting in Five Deaths and the Injury Of
Seven Other Persons.
Two Bodies Recovered Presented a
Horrible Appearance, the Men,
After Having Been Knocked
Down by Flying Bricks, Being
Literally Roasted to Death.

PITTSBURG, Sept IA boiler ex-
plosion at the Republic Iron Works. on
South Twenty-fourth street, shortly be-
fore q o'clock to-day, killed five men
and seriously injured seven others The
mill was partly wrecked, and the en-
tire plant was compelled to close down.
The list of killed and injured is as fol-
lows:
Killed: David Matthews, heater,
married; Thomas Beavens, heater,
married. William Thomas. heater, mar
ried; John Warmiki. heater; unknown
man, crushed almost beyond recogni-

Injured James Donohue, 4S years
old, puddler fatally burned; Neil Dom
ohue, his son, will die: Frederick Herb,
Is years old. will die; Stephen Mala-
caski, Henry Sanders. Peter Scneitzer,
unknown man. cut about head.
The explosion occurred just as the
night force was leaving and the day
force was coming on duty, so that
there We're but few men in the mill at
the time. If it had happened half an
hour later the list of dead and injured
would have been doubled.
The concussion was terrific Build
ings were shaken mile away, and
dust filled the air for two or three
blocks. 1t entered opened windows,
and nearly suffocated persons who were
aroused by the roar and the shock
Immediately following the explosion
the wrecking took fire. and this added
to the difficulties encountered in secur-
ing the mutilated victims
A fire alarm was quickly sounded,
a short 10 Hoy
der control, after which the firemen
were employed in searching the rims
for the dead and injured.
The first two bodies were identified
as those Of Beavens and Matthews. The
men had been knocked down by the
flying bricks. and were roasted to death
by the heat in their own furnaces.
When the boiler burst a large section
of it was blown through the roof and
crashed into the side of the house of
Gregory Sanders. about 200 yards dis
tant The building. which was of
frame. was wrecked. but the occupants
escaped with a bad fright. This flying
portion of the boiler tore down the
central supports of the roof, which fell
in and partially burned some of those
injured.
The collapsed roof and the torn and
scattered pieces of machinery and ma
sonry formed a mass of wreckage. in
which the work of searching for the ad-
ditional bodies supposed to be hidden
by it was slow and tedious work.
The Bar mill. in which the accident
occurred, is part of what is known
as the Old Charter Mill. and the pres
ent owner the Republic Iron Works, is

Works, recently merged in the tube

yet been determined. The damage to

A FATAL COLLISION.
Loaded Lumber Train Crashes Into
Flat Cars.

SANTA ROSA, Sept. lone of the
worst railroad accidents of recent years
in this section occurred on the Sonoma
Lumber Company's numbering road
near Guerneville at 8 o'clock last night.
AS result of the accident Engineer
Mort Deal and Conductor Tom Lane
will probably die, while Fireman Ed
Teadman will be laid up for many a
long day.
The accident occurred on the curve of
the road, about 200 yards west of the
mill, and was caused by some flat cars
being on the main track when Engineer
Deals train had the right of way
When Deal pulled out of Mission Can
yon he had six fiat cars loaded with logs
behind him. However, he knew that
the track should be clear, and he
threw the throttle wide open and start
ed toward his home and family on his
last run of the night, but he counted
without accidents.
By some means six or seven fiat cars
at the upper end of the grade near town
broke loose and ran down on the main
line near the mill and on the curve.
Engineer Deal was sending his engine
along at a lively rate when suddenly
the empty fiat cars loomed up ahead
of him.
He reversed the lever as quickly as
possible, but too late to avert a catas-
trophe
The engine struck the first car, al
most literally demoIishing it, and driv-
ing against it with such force as to
send the others up the track a number
of yards. The forward trucks of the
engine were thrown from the rails, and
the momentum from the loaded cars
behind carried the engine ahead for
some distance, turning it completely
around and throwing it over on it's
side, a complete wreck.
Some parties who happened to be
close by at the time ran with all pos
sible speed and spread the alarm
Engineer Deal and Conductor Lane,
as we'll as Fireman Teadman, were all
found lying alongside of the track in an
unconscious condition. The injured ones
were quickly brought to town, where
medical assistance could be obtained
Deal and Lane will probably die. Be-
sides terrible cuts and bruises, they
sustained internal injuries which the
attending physicians say will certainly
prove fatal.
Fireman Teadman will probably re-
cover. Both the lumber and empty fiat
cars We're badly wrecked.
