MEXICAN MINE EXPLOSION
KILLS EIGHTY-SEVEN PEOpLE
Several Hundred Tons of Dynamite Mys-
tsriousiy Set on, wrecking Prosperous
Mining Village.


A dispatch from Chihuahua, Mexico,
Friday, aays several hundred tons of
dynamite stored in an underground
chamber of the San Antonio mine, sit-
uated in the Sierra Madres, in the
western part of the State of Durango,
exploded with terrible force, blowing
the whole top of the mountain off and
destroying portion OF the village Of
miners there.
Eighty-seven men, women and chill
dren were killed and many others bad
ly injured.
CAmong the killed were Herman Leu
timan, superintendent of the mine, and
his family.
Electric wires, connecting with the
hoisting machinery, passed through
the room in which this dynamite was
stored, and it is supposed that these
wires became crossed, thereby causing
FIRE which SGT off the dynamite.
All of the killed and injured were To-
Gated ON the surface, most of them oc-
cupyipg residences right over the un.
derground workings of the mine, and
the victims of the catastrophe were
blown into small pieces.
At the time of the explosion there
were several hundred miners at work
in the lower workings of the mine, and,
strange to say, none of them were seri-
ously injured; although they were all
severely shocked by the terrific force
OF the explosion. They rushed to the
surface through one of the shafts that
was not filled with debris, and the
sight that met their eyes in the almost
complete destruction of the little village
ls indescribable,
The work of gathering up the frag-
msnts of the unfortunate victims OF the
explosion scattered over the mountain
was begun, and they were placed to-
gether and buried in one grave. But
few of the mangled remains were rec.
ognizable. Summonses were sent to
neighboring camps for surgeons to at,
tend to the injured and it was some
time before they arrived.

A New York dispatch says Andrew
Carnegie has sold control OF the Carns-
gle steel works to ]. Pierpont Morgan.
The terms of the transaction cannot at
this time be announced, but tine trans
action is a colossal one, rivaling the re-
cent change OF control of the Southern
Pacific when that property passed into
the hands of Union Pacific interests.
Mr.. Carnegie held nearly 81 per cent
OF the sl8o, ,oo0, 900 stock OF the Carne-
gle company. This stock has not been
listed on any stock exchange, but $500
was recently paid for $1,000 share In

while at the same time he will retain
his SO or 54 per cent. interest In the

company.
The object aimed at by Mr.. Morgan

Prominent American at Manila, Who En-
joysd Confidence of Oricers, Charged
With Aiding Insurrection.
Theodore C~rranza, prominent and
wealthy Spanish merchant and hemp
buyer, of Manila, was arrested We'd
nesday afternoon, charged with fur
nishing supplies to aid the insurgents.
Carranza is partner of D. NJ Car
men, an American contractor and
owner of boats, who had considera BILE
transportation contracts with the gov
ernment. The provost marshal and
secret service officials have been watch
ing a number of merchants and trans

siderable questioning was sent to the
same station. The men are charged

buying copra 0he fried kernel of the
coacanut, broken up for export from
insurgent residents at Pagsanjan, in
the eastern boundary of Laguna de

nopoly of carrying goods going
through the custom-house ashore from
the ships, and has made a great deal
of money. He possessed the confidence
of Gen. Otis. Other Manila merchants
