nAxIno GOMEZ DEAD.
Central Figure of Cuban War of
 Liberation.

HAVANA, June 19 - Maximo Go meg, or Fl Caudillo (chieftain), as the great leader of revolutions was called by his countrymen, general in the Cuban army of liberation and one of the heroes in the last war against Spanish rule in Cuba, passed quietly away as the sun was slanting across the gulf in the presence not only of his weeping family, but also his old time friend, Estrado Palma. president of the republic. whose tears freely min gled with those of the sorrowing rela- tives.
 The end came quietly in the beauti. ful temporary home at the seaside in the suburb vedado. to which General Gomez was taken on his return from Santiago. The dying man was unable to recognize any one. President Pal ma, accompanied by General Andrade, arrived about a quarter of an hour previous to the death of General Gomez.
 General Maximo Gomez, who com manded the Cuban forces during the insurrection which broke out in 1895 and ended with the complete independ- ence of the island when on May 20. 1902, the control of Cuba was form. ally transferred to the new Cuban government, was born at Bani, Santo Domingo. in 1886. and came of 6. Span. ish family which had settled there. He began life as a cavalry officer in the Spanish army in Santo Domingo and served during the last occupation. of Santo Domingo by Spain.
 The flags of every nation represented In Havana are at half mast over the legations and consulates, and from Cabanas fortress gun booms every half hour. In every street there are long rows of Cuban flags draped in mourning. and even the poorest tene- ments have crape tied to the windows. The Spanish club joined in the mourn ing by hoisting the Castilian lag at half mast.
 The body of General Gomez now lies in state in the principal salon of the palace surrounded by great masses of flowers sent by relatives. friends. com rades. the government departments and social and political organizations. The body Is guarded by a detachment of rural guards. and several of the generals former officen are acting as . guard of honor.
 There was a procession of visitors to the palace. but the face of the general was not exposed after 1t was finally looked upon by the members of his family Band concerts and perform ances in the theaters as well as all SO cial gayeties are wholly suspended.
 Congress at a special session decided that the period of mourning shall con- tinue for three days. during which time all public business will he sus- pended Both houses appropriated s15.O00 for the funeral. which will take place tomorrow

A SHOWER OF IRON.
Boiler Explosion in New York-Huns
 drsds in Panic.

NEW YORK, June 19.-More than . dozen persons, one of whom will prob. ably die, were injured by the explo- sion of a boiler in the air compressing plant for subway construction at One Hundred and Sixty-third street and the North river. Scores of men. 70 men and children barely escaped the shower of steel that followed.
 The list of injured is as follows: B. R. Altenisia, John Amato badly injur. ed; D. Barry, Edward Elword and Jo seph Morgan, who may die.
 Altenisia, Amato and Elword had been swimming and were standing on the river bank when the explosion oc. cured. One of the beams from the power house, driven high in tie air, came down lengthwise, pinning the boys under it.
 The corrugated steel roof of the pow. CT house was torn into pieces, which flew in a shower over the railroad tracks and clubhouse of the West End Yacht club So thick were the frag. ments on the railroad tracks that they had to be shoveled of to permit the safe passage of trains.
 The dome of the boiler which explod. ed was driven high in the air and land. ed on the slope of the hill 300 feet away. It rolled to the feet of party of seven women and children sitting beneath 2, big tree near the clubhouse.
 The negro fireman. Morgan, was blown fifty feet into the air and. com. ing down, fell through a network of telegraph wires half a block away. His coat and trousers were torn from his body, and he was picked up in . dying condition.
 The shower of steel tore down al. most all the telegraph wires along tho railroad tracks. On one of those that remained were found Morgan's shirt and stockings, hundred feet from the power house. Within i've feet of tho south side of the power house was a coop used as home for rabbits. gui. nea pigs and fowls. Not one of the pets was injured.
 Besides ordering the arrest of the in. jured engineer. Barry. Captain Halpin also ordered that James L. Keavney. clerk at the plant, be taken into GUS. tody. He was charged with felonious assault as he seemed to be the only one about the plant in anything like a responsible position. The property. according to the police report. belong. ed to John B. Mcdonald, the subway

A MARYLAND WRECK.
Twenty.three Killed In Western Road
 Collision.

BALTIMORE, June 19.-By far the worst wreck ill the history of the Western Maryland railroad occurred at point about quarter of mile from Patapsco. small station be- tween Westminster and Finksburg. Twenty-three were killed and score or more injured.
 Passenger train No. 5, westbound, was running at very high rate of speed when at the point named it crashed into double header freight running east. All three of the engines were reduced to scrap iron, the express and baggage cars of the passenger were smashed, and a number of the freight cars were splintered. The pas senger coaches sustained little injury, and almost without exception their oc cupants escaped with nothing worse than bad shaking up.
 An extra freight, made up of heavy coal and provision cars, was running east. It should have taken siding to allow No. 5 to pass. Such were the or. ders. Why they were disregarded will never be known. for all those who should have seen that they were obey ed are dead.
 The passenger train was running at a speed of thirty miles an hour and the freight was making good time, as it was drawn by two engines. Just west of the bridge they came together with terrific force, the three engines being piled one upon another. fortunately in such a manner that sufficient steam connections were broken to relieve the boilers and thus prevent the further horror of one or more explosions.
 The fearful impact drove the passen- ger tender into the baggage car and demolished 1t and the mail car. Tn an instant the peaceful country scene was changed into the likeness of sham bles. Along the tracks on both sides were scattered dead and frightfully mangled men, these latter more for tunate than those who had been in the baggage car and on the engines, for most of them were still pinioned in the wreckage out of the immediate reach of helping hands. By what seems we'll nigh miracle the damage to the other cars of the passenger train was confined almost entirely to broken win dows and doors and the injuries to their occupants to bruises from the shaking up and minor cuts from flying glass.
 There was an instant rush to escape, and for moment none seemed able to think what to do in the presence of the carnage into the midst of which they stepped upon leaving the coaches. Heartrending shrieks from the injured quickly brought to the scene the in- habitants of all the farmhouses within a considerable radius. and these imme- diately set to work to do what they could to ease the suffering. Farmers wives and daughters made bandages of their clothing and household linen and worked heroically amidst the blood and grime. One or two physicians who had been passengers on the wrecked passenger train directed their efforts.
 All the dead were employees of the returning to their homes in the small towns along the railroad.
