 One man whose clothing was on Ire jumped overheard.
 In less than a minute after the explosion three streams of water were pouring into the turret preventing the charge in the other eght-inch guns from exploding.

 The eight-inch guns are next in size below the 13-inch turret guns carried by this battleship, and just above the rapid fire gun, limit.

AN JUAN, January 17.-Fiye men NA were killed and four others were 0 wounded two of them probably fatally. by the explosion of a powder charge of an eight-inch gun on board the United States battleship Massachusetts yesterday morning while tasget prsc- tice off Culebra island.
 Details of the explosion were obtained when the Massachusetts arrived here to- day. The explosion occurred in the star- board aft eight-inch turret shortly be- fore noon, and was due to the accidental discharge of a percussion primer while the breech of the gun was open. The full charge exploded in the turret and killed or injured all the crew of the gun mum, bering nine men. Ensign Ward E. Eirt- man, who was in charge of the turret, escaped injury, though he was standing near the scene of the explosion. Magnfl- cent discipline was immediately shown by officers and crew. Captain Lee, com manding the marine guard of the vessel, and Ensign Clarence Abel immediately flooded the turret with water and Lieu tenant Charles F. Hughes and Gunner Kuhlwein went below to the magazine ricling up powder charges and prevented further explosion, while Lieutenant VII.

NEGRO HOLDS OFFICERS
 AT BAY IN OLD SHANTY

Siluria, January +. - Especial. )-Tom Benton, a desperate negro criminal who escaped from the Shelby county jail sev- eral days ago, is barricaded in a negro shanty near here, and is bidding defiance to the sheriff, his posse and citizens of the county. Large rewards have been offered for his capture, but at late hour this morning he was still holding the peo- pie at bay and refusing to surrender. One death has occurred so far. and 1t is expected that ne will kill others if an attempt is made to capture him under the existing circumstances. Several white men have been wounded by his bullets.

man has given out no statement of his attitude or defense nor undertaken any explanation of his shooting of Gonzales. TlLLMAN HOPES
 TOR RECOVERY.
 He has merely said that he had good and justifiabe ground for his action, and that he will prove this at the proper time. He is reported as having said today that he regretted the necessity for his action, and that he hoped as strong as anybody that the wound would not prove fatal.
 Tillman says he has received a numper of offers from lawyers in rli, state to undertake his defense without fee. His room contains several handsome punches of flowers. which he says were sent 10 him by friends
 1.lele is not the least sign of public excitement in Columbia and the stories of possible violence to Tillman have entirely subsided.
 There was never any foundation for them. The interest in Gonzales condi- ton and concern for his life is un- abated.

The negro has had desperate career. Some time ago he had a row with the foreman and several hands of the Hardy vile lime works when he killed a negro and wounded the foreman. He was tried and sentenced to the mines. He es- capped three days ago md heavily arm ed returned to Shelby, looking for H. I. Bowden, whom he thought had opposed him in his trial The negro found two men who had opposed him in his trial and pitched battle ensued.- His horse was shot from under him and he took to the woods, and barricated himself in an old shanty. He has held forty armed men at bay and they are still around the shanty trying to kill or capture him.

PULLMAN MAKES STATEMENT

Atlanta, Ga, January 17.-In an < interview with the staff correspond ent of the Atlanta Journal this af-
 ternoon Lieutenant Governor Jas. ! H. Tillman, who Is confined in the | Columbia, s. O.. jail, gave out the
 following statement: T would like to correct the
 biased report of the unfortunate
 affair, but when the public recalls < that these reports were seht out
 either by the State, of which MT.
 Gonzales is editor, or by his per $
 sonal friends, they can readily see :
 : that 1 could scarcely hope for or
 , expect a fair account. Those who know me, know me
 too well to believe 1t. When the
 true facts are proven my friends
 and the people of this country will
 know how grossly I have been mis- represented Such will be shown
 by witnesses of the highest char
 aeter. I am ready for trial by jury of my countrymen. "J. H. PULLMAN"

SOME HOPE FOR
 EEiTOR GONZALES.

Columbia. S. C., January 17.-After a day of anxious dread to the friends of Ed itor N. Gonzales of The State, who was shot down and sorely wounded on Thurs day afternoon by Lieutenant Governor James H. Tillman, reports tonight from the hospital are encouraging, though not assuring, of his improvement and possi- ble recovery.
 During the early afternoon here was very grave apprehensions for the life of the wounded man, and at one lime practically all hope had been abandoned, but there has appeared recovery of hope and at the present time here is some in- dication of favorable outcome of the case.
 The condition of MT. Gonzales is still. however, exceedingly grave, and at any moment disturbing symptoms may su- pervene.

FORTY INDICTMENTS ARE
 FOUND AGAINST DEALERS

Chicago. January H.-Forty indictments jury which, during the last week, has been Investigating the cause for the shortage of coal in Chicago. No names were given out, it being declared by States Attorney Dineen that inasmuch as the indictments had been merely voted and not returned, no list of the accused men would be announced before 10 o'clock Monday, when the jury will reconvene. It is said among the men against whom it is the intention to re- turn indictments are many who stand high in business and social circles. This fact was given by the states attorney as one of the reasons why no list of the &C.,
 cused men would be given out tonight.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-01-18

The decision to vote the indictments was reached by the grand jury shortly before Il o'clock tonight. An adjourn ment had been taken from 6 until 10 o'clock and when the body met at the latter hour, 1t simply went over the list of names and voted to return indictments
 In analyzing the evidence of the past week, the jury believed they had found a combination existing between the on- orators, the jobbers and wholesalers and the retailers, covering the course of the coal supply from the mines to the con sumner They also found the understand ing existing between the operators of the various states, the Illinois Coal Opera- tors association, the Northern Illinois Soft Coal association being in collusion with the Indiana Coal Operators associa- ton Tn an attempt to govern the whole bituminous supply of the two states.

they ought to be given work. We do not want to, and will not cause trouble at the mines but will do all we can to prevent it. But I want the commission to understand that the men who have been idle all this time are getting im- patient They are writing every day asking if something cannot be done to secure the mwork in the mines. They are charged, of course, with being crim- inals. It is alleged they left their jobs and all that, but if they are going to have a term of peace for some years in the anthracite field, 1t seems to me they ought to stop fighting now, and that any desire to punish men by the companies ought to cease. We are willing and anx- ious to get along In harmony with those in the coal fields and will do all we can

PHYSICIANS ARE
 RETIER SATISFIED.

pr. W. Gill Wylie of New York, who was called into consultation in the case, and who has been in attendance since yes- terday morning, left this afternoon for Rock Hill, stating that he was better satisfied with the condition of MT. Con gales than he had been at any time since he first had seen him. He will be within telephone call, and is prepared to re- turn to Columbia at any time he may be needed The chief concern this after noon was caused by an obstruction of the intestines, and 1t was considered at one time as a possibility that the wound would have to be re-opened, and an in- jection made to relieve this.
 The physicians announced later, how ever, that the remedies they had applied were having effect and that if they com peted the purpose of their administra- tion there would be a chance of saving the life of the patient There Is as yet no indication of peritontis.

NOT HING NEW
 HAS DEVELOPED.

There is nothing to be added tonight to the story of the shooting already told in the Associated Press dispatches. There has been absolutely no development to- day and none is expected until the trial.
 The friends of Gonzales are positive that there was no cause for the act of Tillman beyond such provocation as was given months ago, and they consider that the whole story Is told in the facts that have already been related
 It is understood and generally believed that Tillman will claim that he thought Gonzales was armed and intended shoot ing him, and that he was justified in this belief by the fact that Gonzales had his hands in his pockets and was approach ing him and felt an enmity toward him which might lead to mortal conflict. And this is, of course, presumption, as Till

Will Have Band Stand

The refusal of the city council to
contribute to the expense of moving
the city band stand up town and re-
fusing to accept the lease which WAS
drafted by the city attorney and
signed by Mr.. Gumaer, has not dis
couraged the members of the band and
the people will be given weekly con
certs just the same.
While only three members of the
council are able to realize that good
band is splendid advertisement for
town and that good advertising al
ways pays big interest on the invest
ment IA majority of the people recog-
nize the fact and they will contribute
the necessary funds for the erection OF
stand.
The stand will probably be placed
on the roof of the little brick building
occupied by NJ j. White & company,
corner of Pixies Peak and Main.
