EXPLOSION ANNIVERSARY.
DIR. Roseberry Recalls his Ex-
perience of One Year Ago.

Today marks the anniversary of
one of the most terrible. and at the
same time one of the most remark
able, events in the history of Flor
ence. Terrible in what the results
might have been, remarkable in
what they really were.
We refer to the natural gas ex-
plosion in the Miller Terrace which
occurred one year ago today, caus-
ing the total destruction of three
houses, and injuring, to greater
or less extent, the several members
of the Roseberry family, who had
just moved into the north apart
ments of tho terrace.
In conversation with DR.. Rose
berry he said the facts and minute
details of matters in connection
with the explosion are us fresh in
his memory today as they were n
year ago. He recalls his thoughts
and sensations as they occurred to
his mind during the extremely
brief time which elapsed between
the first flash of the ignited gas
and his sudden loss of conscious
ness, his first thoughts upon re-
gaining consciousness and finding
himself in the alley, his horror at
the thought of his wife and daugh-
ter being buried in the ruins, and
finally his JOY at finding them alive,
though seriously injured by the
shock.
Those who witnessed the scene
of the accident that evening will
no doubt recall the event and all
the excitement attending it, and
will continue to marvel at the al
most miraculous escape of the five
persons who were in the house, to
say nothing of Beppo, the doctors

Uncle Sam an army of 100000

1t is the opinion of Acting Sec
retary Meikeljohn, and in which
other members of the cabinet agree,
that the military forces in the
Philippines must be strengthened
at once,
Meikeljohn has already laid the
matter before the president. At

sary to insure complete American
control of Luzon island. This will
mean an increase of 10000 in the
forces now at the command of

stand this fierce assault and were
driven across the river Baca with
great loss. Twenty-seven rebels
were killed in front of the Penn
sylvania volunteers alone, and the
