DYNAMITE BLOWS THREE MEN TO
ATOMS.
They We're COnvicts Engaged Ia County
Road Work and BECAME Careless In
Handling the Deadly Explosive.

Blscayne, Fla, June 3.-Five negro
convicts at the county camp at Ojus
were blown to atoms by dynamite
Thursday night.
The dead are: Sam Knight, Louis
Knight, Henry Jones, Will Body, Jonas
Martin.
All these men were serving a short
sentence on the county roads. Dyna-
mite in large quantities is used in road
building and 1.-THE negroes had become
careless in handling it. The bodies of
the dead convicts were in every case
badly torn and mangled, One, that of
Henry Jones, was blown three hundred
feet into the branches of tree, where
it was subsequently found.
The exact cause of the explosion will
never be known, though it is attributed
to the discharge of a dynamite cap,
which set off a box containing $50
pounds of the deadly explosive,

ADMIRAL ENQUIST
ALIVE AND WELL
Russian Naval Commander Arrives IN
Manila bay With Three Ships.
VESSELS CARRY MANY WOUNDED MEN

Cruisers Damaged Dy IOgO rlre- hmerl
can Admiral Accompanies Russians
From COrregidOr Island to Manila.
Manila, June 9.-Rear Admiral En-
quist, who was commander of the heavy
cruiser squadron of the Russian fleet,
arrived in the bay at o'clock this eve
ming on board his flagship, the protected
cruiser Aurora, accompanied by the
protected cruisers Oleg and Jemtchug.
All the vessels were more or less
damaged and there were many wounded
men on board.
Rear Admiral Train, on board his
flagship, the battleship Ohio, with the
Wisconsin, Oregon, Raleigh and Gin
cinnati, was outside Corregidor Island
maneuvering when the Aurora saluted
with thirteen guns and the Ohio an
swered.
Admiral Train and his squadron ac-
companied the Russian vessels to Ma
Mia.
In an interview, Rear Admiral En-
quist's executive officer said:
When the battle began the admiral was
aboard the cruiser Oleg, which was hit
a number of times by large shot. There
was an incessant rain of shot from
quick-fring guns, and the ship was
soon badly damaged.
'The admiral transferred his flag to
the Aurora, which then drew the COM
bined fire of many torpedo boat destroy
ers at close range and the attack OF
submarines. We were overwhelmed by
the latter. A mist arising, we made
dash for the open sea and were fol
lowed by the Oleg and the Jemtchug. y
Rear admiral Enquist is uninjured.
Captain Egorieff, of the Aurora, was
killed by a shell which struck the con-
ming tower, and he was buried at sea
the day before reaching Manila.
The battleship Ohio and the cruiser
Cincinnati are guarding the Russian
ships. No official action as to their dis
position has been taken yet.

POWERS EAGER TO SEE END OF WAR
Emperor wilhelm Heartily Favors Roose
Velt's Wish to Arrange Peace Be-
tween Russians and Japanese.

Washington, June 3.-Kogoro Taxa
hira, the Japanese minister, called al
the White House tonight shortly after
9 O'Clock for a conference with the
President.
Except to intimate that he and the
President had a general talk on the
whole situation Minister Takahira had
nothing to say about his conference to-
night. He did not appear to be con-
cerned about the presence of the Rus
sian ships at Manila.
Diplomatic activity in Washington to-
day indicates that the European powers
are prepared actively to assist the Pres
ident in any efforts he may make in the
interest of peace in the far east and il
is learned tonight on high authority
that the German emperor heartily
shares the earnest wish of President
Roosevelt for an early ending of the
war. Neither the President nor the
Emperor, however, is ambitious to as
sumo the role of peacemaker, although
anxious to do what is possible to assist
Russia and Japan to enter upon peace
negotiations as soon as practicable.

'1n reply the private secretary re-
grets to inform Mr.. Osburne that it is
not possible for the King to comply
with the request preferred in his letter

President Roosevelt replied in sub
stance. through Secretary Loeb, that
itws against his rule to send messages
of this sort, that it was too perfunctory
an act, and that if he could not be on
the spot and say what he wanted to, he
would have to get along without saying
anything.

The Stanley Creamery.

The kenmare Journal accuses
the Minot papers OF doing their
utmost to discourage a cream
cry opening at STANLEY. This is
not the case. The INDEPENDENT
gave it's advice on the matter,
which was for the promoters to
step cautiously. We believe it is
well for them to do so and if
they see plenty of cows in the
country about Stanley, go ahead
and open the creamery. AS a
rule farmers are too busy rails
ing grain and stock to bother
with milk and it takes one or
two short crops to make them
realize the Importance Of milk
ing cows and selling cream. We
believe a creamery will pay at
Stanley when the farmers are
educated, but it would probably
lose money the first year. This
is the history of the Minot
creamery, We know.
