Havana, March 5.-Governor General
Brooke, referring to the complaints
made at Santiago that a large number
of laborers have been thrown out of
employment by an apparent reduction
in the financial allotment of Santiago
province, says that the funds furnished
the several provinces by the authorities
in Havana have in all cases been equal
to the respective requisitions.
General Maxine Gomez yesterday
sent Governor General Brooke, by the
hand of Inspector General Roloff of the

that the total reaches 4S,000-32, 600 pri-
Yates, 10000 non commissioned officers
and the rest commanding officers, from
major generals to sub-lieutenants.
General Brooke has received a tele-
gram from Washington saying that
paynasters with the $3,000000 will ar
rive here next week. 1t is not likely
that any trouble which the American
authorities cannot circumvent will
arise in connection with the actual pay

TORNADO IN TENNESSEE.
Three Killed, Twelve Injured and
Many Homes Demolished.


Athens, Tenn, March 5-A tornado
about seventy yards wide struck a por-
ton of Madisonville last night, killing
three persons, wounding ten or twelve
others and completely destroying
twelve or fifteen houses and several
barns.
The killed are: Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
Moser, Ed L. Horton. Wounded: Miss
Willie Ervine Miss Della Mason, Mrs.
E. L. Horton, Mrs. L. A. Robinson, Mr..
L. A. Robinson, Hobert Robinson, Miss
Rodgers, Mr.. Moser, Prof. Kelly
The Horton and Robinson residences
are both complete wrecks. not one tim
Der being left above another. The es-
cape of the inmates was miraculous,
seme of them being blown a distance
of hundred yards and only receiving
slight bruises.
The storm came I'D with alarming
suddenness and swept everything in its
path. 1t was accompanied by a terri
BILE roar. Frightened inhabitants rush
ed for their cellars and places OF safe
ty. In the country great damage was
done to orchards and crops by the wind
and hail that followed. 1t is reported
that further casualties occurred in the
outlaying rural districts, but no par
ticularS have been received.
Jack Moser met a horrible death. He
was hurled distance of 100 yards, until
his progress was impeded by wire fence,
which completely severed his head from
the body.

Santiago de Cuba, March 5.-El

administration to $4,000, says:
There is onl.- one course open to
men who are without work and food,
namely, to become banditti. Hunger
demands bread. The proceedings of
the United States authorities at
Havana are evidently antagonistic to
Major General Wood, and born of
jealousy of his success and popularity
among all classes of Cubans. Three
thousand men have been thrown out Of
employment at only a days notice.
which must mean a serious menace to
public peace and property"

the same strain

BELGIAN QUEENS ILLNESS.
a Serious Relapse and the Last Sacra-
ment Administered.

Brussels. March 5.-Queen Marie Hen
riette. who has been suffering from bron-
cho-pneumonia. had a serious relapse at
noon today. Her physicians were in con-
slant attendance throughout the after
noon and early this evening the last sa-
crament was administered.
At that hour there seemed no hope of
recovery, but a bulletin at 10 o'clock this
evening showed a slight improvement and
afforded a base for reviving hope. All the
members of the family have been sum
moned.
Queen Marie Henriette of Belgium. a.
daughter of the late Archduke Joseph of
Austria, was born Aug. %. 1896. She mar
ried King Leopold II of Belgium, then the
Belgian crown prince, on Aug. Y, 1888.
Leopold II ascended the throne on the
death of King Leopold ] in December. 1860.
The king and qu en- of Belgium have three
children, all daughters. The eldest, Prin-
cess Louise. was married to Prince Philip
of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. She recently
separated from her husband, and is said
to be mentally deranged.
The second daughter, Princess Steph-
anie married the late Archduke Rudolph
of Austria, the imperial prince. who COM
mitted suicide on Jan. go 1889.
The third daughter is Princess Clemen-
tine now in her 9th year.

Toulon, March 5.-The naval maga-
zine of La Goubran, between La Seyne
ana Toulon, in the department of war,
southern France, exploded at 2:3O
o'clock this morning. All Of the SOL
diers on duty at the magazine We're
killed and a number of inhabitants of
the district, the buildings of which
were razed, also fell victims. Forty
corpses have already been recovered.
The cause OF the explosion is not
known.
Fifty thousand kilogrammes of black
powder exploded. 1t looks as though
a volcanic eruption had occurred, the
country being swept almost bare with
in a radius of two miles, houses des-
troyed, trees overturned and fields
devastated and covered with stones and
impalpable black dust. Some of the
stones are enormous. One weighing
fifty kilogrammes fell in the suburb of
Pone de Las.
Signs of the explosion are evident in
all the suburbs of Toulon and in the
city itself. Even at st. Jean de Var,
five miles distant, windows were shat
tered and doors battered in.
Later reports show that OF the seven
sentries, four were killed outright and
the others severely injured, the corporal
being literally scalped and the scalp
overhanging his face like a veil.
A large number of soldiers are now
employed in clearing away the debris,
but the work is very difficult.
1t is impossible to ascertain accurate
ly the number killed.
Although it was a clear night the
explosion was so terrific as to produce
a Slight rainfall Fortunately the
neighboring magazines escaped.
Ii is now believed that the explosion
originated in chemical decomposition
in srnokelesS powder. There is no
suggestion of foul play. Today the
whole city is in mourning, flags are at
half-mast. the theatres are draped and
the casinos closed.
Both the government and municipal
authorities are forwarding relief funds.
Nj. Lockroy, minister of marine, has
telegraphed 10000 francs toward the
maintenance of the families of the
victims, and a public subscription has
been opened here.
-Four of the injured have succumbed
70 their injuries. 1t is believed that
fifteen are still buried in the debris.
All the bodies found or recove. ed are
terribly mutiiated. Sixteen were
found in the rocks near the shore and
It is feared that others were DreciDi-
tated into the sea-
a vehicle moving along a road near
the sea was lifted bodily into the water
by the force of the explosion, two of
its occupants being drowned.
The scene at the village of La
Goubran was appalling. kilograms
from Nice say the explosion was dis
tinctly felt there.
