cident which took place near Spanish
Town, ten miles from here. YESTERDAY
morning in the main conduit of the
West Indian Electric company, which
operates the street cars from Kings

principally Canadians. Nearly 100 la
borers had been detailed to remove

to the turbines of the power house.
The work had practically been COM
pleted when orders were given to al
low small quantity of water to enter
the conduit. Through misapprehen-
sion, accident, or carelessness, the
full force of water was turned on and
a mad struggle to escape by means of
the manholes ensued with the result
that thirty-three persons were killed.
The tragedy has cast gloom over the
colony and a rigid investigation into
the cause is now in progress.
