SIX MEN WERE
DROWNED
The Disaster Occurred at the Water
Works Crib No. 3 at Cleve-
land, Ohio.
SECOND FATAL ACCIDENT
The Crib is Two Miles from the Spot
Where the Disaster of Last Wednesday
Occurred-Oaused by an
Explosion.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 21.-Six men were
drowned last night as a result of an
explosion of gas in tunnel leading
from the water works crib No. g. two
miles from crib No. 2, where the fatal
accident last Wednesday occurred. The
casing of the tunnel was crushed and
a torrent of water from the lake rushed
into the opening.
The dead are: Ray Treadshaw, Jas.
Williams, Daniel Higgins, James Dali
incourt and John Bert. The accident
occurred early last night, but nothing
was known of it on the shore until TO-
day. No boats are kept at the cribs.
Thirty men who We're on the crib when
the explosion took place spent the
night vainly signalling for assistance
1t was long after daylight before the
tug cached them 1t is supposed that
u G men digging struck vein o. gas
which was ignited by spark lna'le by
the workman's pick. Heavy iron gir-
Lers and machinery weighing more
tkan a hundred tons were forced ont
OF the shaft by the explosion. The c!'o
w..s wrecked Death must ha'' been
instantaneous to the workmen in the
tu,nel So great was the destruc'ioH
wrought that it probably will u weeks
be.ore the damage can be repaired ana
the bodies of the unfortunate workmen
recovered.
James Williams, who lost his life in
last nights accident, was one of the
men who heroically entered the tun-
mel after the accident last week at crib
No. 2, in search of the victims of that
disaster.
Mayor Johnson ordered all construc-
tion work of the tunnel stopped until
every safeguard is provided for the
protection of the men. The mayor
said in his opinion the city would pe
justified in taking the work out OF the
hands of the contractors, and II possl-
BILE this will be done.

ing more fiercely today than at any
time since the first explosion occurred.
Shortly before o'clock this morning
another tank exploded, the force OF the
explosion causing big tank near Pas-
savunk avenue to careen, the blazing
oil flowing over the streets and forcing
the firemen to abandon that part OF the
works. The oil ran into a sewer which
emnties into the Schuylkill river. Off
cials say that the sewer is raging fur
mace and the flames probably will soon
find their way to the river surface. All
the police boats that were throwing
water on the flames have left SO that

THE SCHLEY INQUIRY.
The Navy Department Refuses a Request
Of SchleY's Attorneys.

Washington, Aug. 2l.-The navy de-
partment this afternoon gave out the
latest official correspondence on the
Schley case. 1t concludes with letter
from the acting secretary, Hackett, to
Schley, stating the the department
having constituted the court should not,
at this stage of the proceedings, under
take to hear and determine questions
that may arise respecting the compe.
tency of the members of the court.
Such proceeding would be irregular,
and all questions OF this nature are being
left to the court ITSELF"
This is declination of the request
Of Schley's counsel that the attention OF
Admiral Howison be called by the de-
partment to an alleged interview In
which he said the credit for the victory
at Santiago belonged to Sampson.

TURKEY AND
FRANCE AT ODDS
Diplomatic Relations Between Con-
stantinople And Paris Broken by
Ambassador Constans.
SEVERAL BROKEN PROMISES
The Sultan Had Given His Personal Prom
ise Which Was Re-afirmcd by the
Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs
to Settle French Claims.

Constantinople, Aug. 21.-The French
ambassador, M. Constans, notified the
sultan's first secretary that all diplo-
matte relations between France and
Turkey are broken off and the am
baasader informed his government to
this effect. The ambassador justifies
his action on the ground that the sui
tan broke his direct, personal promise,
which was given last Thursday re-
garding the purchase of quays and the
settlement of the disputed French
claims. The foreign minister also gave
formal assurances that the agreement
would be carried out. In view of this
breach of faith Constans holds that it
is impossible for France to continue
diplomatic relations with Turkey.

MORE TROUBLE
APPEARS IN CHINA
The Failure of the British to Evacuate Pc
kin Seems to Annoy the Celestial
Government.
BRITISH ARE SENDING new TROOPS

Pekin, Aug. 21.-The British troops
who have been here since last year are
leaving, being relieved by new COM
mands. Colonel Cary replaces Colonel
Alexander as commander in Pekin. The
failure of the British to evacuate Pc
kin annoys the Chinese officials. They
alone refuse to permit Yuan Shih
Kais' troops to enter Pekin, though
only two of the twelve proposed posts
are within the former British section.
The Chinese officials confess the rea-
son given for the courts delay in re-
turning to Pekin is mere protext.

MORTALITY STATISTICS.
The Average of Life in the United States
is Becoming Longer.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The census
bureau issued a bulletin giving the
mortality statistics during the census
year in the states, in the territories
and in the principal registration cities.
The total number of deaths reported
for the year was 1,039,0N, against
S41, ,419 for 1890. Perhaps the most inn
portant feature of the results present
ed is found in the decrease of the gen.
eral death rate in the registration area
of 1.S per 1000 of population, de-
crease of nearly 10 per cent. The aver
age age at death in 1890, was 31.1 years;
in 1900 it was 35.2 years.
