SEVEN GUNNERS MAN6LED.
FrightfuI and Deadly Explosion In Tur'
ret Of Battleship Massachusetts,
Of Culebra.

A special from San Juan, Porto Rico,
says: Seven men were killed and four
others were wounded, two Of them
probably fatally. by the explosion OF
powder charge Of an eight-inch gun
on board the United States battleship
Massachusetts Friday morning, while
at target practice off Culebra island.
Details of the explosion were OBJ
tanned when the Massachusetts arriv-
ed at San Juan Saturday. The explo-
sion occurred in the starboard aft
eight-inch turret, shortly before noon,
and was due TO the accidental dis
charge 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 numbering nine men.
Ensign Ward K. Wertman, who was
in charge Of the turret, escaped In
Jury, though he was standing near the
scene of the explosion.
Magnificent discipline was imme-
diately shown by officers and crew.
Captain Lee commanding the marine
guard, Of the vessel, and Ensign Clar-
ence Abel, Immediately flooded the tur'
ret with water, and Lieutenant Charles
F. Hughes and Gunner Kuhlwein went
below to the magazine picking up
powder charges and prevented lurther
explosions, while Lieutenant William
C. Cole and Gun Captain Zoneman en-.
tered the turret and withdrew the
charge from the other gun, whose
breech was open.
The survivors of the guns crew,
when rescued, were burned, mutilated
and nearly dead.
In less than a minute after the ex-
plosion three streams of water were
pouring into the turret, preventing the
charge In the other inch-gun from ex-
plcding.

Roasts Trusts, MonopoIies and Again
Jabs Attorney General Knox.
In the senate Friday Mr.. Tillman, OF
South Carolina, continued his arraign-
ment of trusts and monopolies, and
again charged the attorney general as
being primarily responsible for lack of
action with regard thereto.
MIR. Tillman declared that the rail-
roads are absolutely in the saddle on
the coal question. They mine and mar
ket coal and fix the price, he charged,
without regard to solitary independ-
ent operator. He said it was an infa-
my the way the press of the country
was prostituted and lending itself to
befuddle the minds of the people and
deceive them into the iuea that the
railroads are willing and anxious to
relieve the distress occasioned by the
coal famine. but that somebody, some
where, called an Independent operator,
is responsible for the present condi-
ton of affairs. The president deserves
no credit, said he, except for his at
tempt to effect settlement of the
question, "but the actual fact is" he
added, that ]. Pierpont Morgan gave
orders to his co-conspirators or SER
wants to attempt the arrangement be-
tween the monopoly and strikers"
The attorney general had been, he
said, derelict and criminal, and he is
the man to whom the people can point
and say: "You have murdered all
these who have frozen to death! You
are the man who deserves the appro-
blum and hate Of the poor and op-
pressed Of this land!"

Leuare Accuses Mayor Smyth.


A Charleston dispatch says: AS an
evidence of the manner in which the
dispensary law is not enforced in
Charleston, George S. Legare, recently
elected a member of congress, and for
mer corporation counsel, gave out an
interview in which he declared that
Mayor Smyth had made a deal with
blind tiger keepers by which it was
agreed to mol pros cases against them
in the event that they promise to sup
port the administration candidate for
mayor of Charleston. The statement
has created a sensation in political
circles.
Two weeks before his retirement,
Mayor Smyth made bitter attack on
Mr.. Legare in council, claiming that he
had failed to prosecute the blind tigers.
Last week George H. Mofett, Mr.. Le-
cares successor, was instructed by
Mayor Smyth to throw out thirty
cases, and instantly the Legare ele-
ulSul IdlSSu d uOWl, SlollA1AS IAAoS AAS
had been criticized for doing one thing,
and that the mayor took the same
course two weeks later.
"The attorneys for the liquor men
had a conference with Mayor Smyth,
through one of their representatives"
says Mr.. Legare, "and an agreement
was reached by which the mayor in
structed Counsel Moffett to throw out
the thirty cases. This was result of
the deal.
Mayor Smyth also stated to city
council that the reason why the cases
were mol pressed was because of the
absence of witnesses. In making this
statement he said what was untrue.
Walter E. Friend and Frank E. Givens,
two of the witnesses, are still employ
ed by the city as special policemen,
and they could have been ordered to
the trial if Mayor Smyth had so de-
sired"
