An entry to the mine had been for
some time stopped up on account Of
gas and during the morning an at
tempt was made to open it by drilling
another entry in order to allow air
to enter and gas to escape. While en-.
gagged in this work a miner fired
through to the stopped up chamber,
causing a terrific explosion of gas,
which had accumulated in the cham
ber. Nine men were in the mine at
the time and as result six were killed

men escaped. Some of the men killed
were 100 feet away from where the

held that position for about fifteen
years. The selection Of successor

of the married teachers were dropped,
but two, one Of them principal Of a

Further Serious Trouble Looked
Upon as Probable.
Port Of Spain, Trinidad, March 25.-
Twelve natives were killed and sixty
wounded, many of them non-combat-
ants and women, during the rioting.
The government building was entire
ly destroyed by the rioters and the po.
lice barracks damaged by fire and wa
ter. All the government records in
the colonial secretary's office. the
courthouse, the crown lands and other
departments were destroyed.
The riotlng had its origin in the op-
position to the new water ordinance,
which reduced the water allowance
per head and increased the water
rate. The courthouse was surrounded
while the legislative council was in
session discussing the water ordin.
ance. The mob broke through the po-
lice lines and stoned the building. The
rioters then demolished the contents
of the lower floor Of the government
building and set fire to it. All those
attending the meeting were assailed
with missiles, many persons being
struck by stones and bottles.
Use Rifles In Defense.
The fire drove the people from the
building and, aided by a part Of the
local military force, they defended
their lives with rifles. The rioters
then evidently with view to plunder,
threatened to burn the business por.
ton Of the town: The commander OF
the British cruiser Pallas. living in the
harbor, was informed of the serious
situation and he landed detachments
of bluejackets from the Pallas and the
torpedo boat destroyer Rocket with
four machine guns Two hundred
citizens were armed and sworn in as
special constables. The sailors and
volunteers rendered invaluable service
in patrolling the streets throughout
the night and guarding the bank
treasury and other public buildings
Order was thus restored.
More speeches are being made
against the water ordinance and there
is probability of further serious
trouble. The courthouse. which cost
$350,000. is completely gutted and the
contents Of the vault totally destroy.
