FIRE AND SMOKE
KILL THREE men
IN TUNNEL TUBE
InexpIainabIe Accident Under
Long Island City Today. :
HEROIC EFFORTS TO RESCUE
Dozen of the Workmen Respond to
Call for Rescuers.
LOWERED INTO THE SHAFT
At One Time Fifteen of the Laborers
Were Gtretched Out Unconscious
on the Street.
LOWERED INTO THE SHAFT

Scores of workmen had a weird
battle tor life in the tunnel which
is being constructed for the Penn
sylvanla railroad early today. Three
are dead and dozen others were
nearly killed by the smoke in their
efforts to rescue their comrades.
he explosion occurred in a lock at
terminus of one of the long tubes,
and the accident is inexplainable.
The woodwork on the tube CAUGHT
flre, adding to the difficulty of
rescue.
NEW YORK. October 11-Three were
Killed and dozen others rendered uncon.
scious by an explosion and fire in tho
rehnsyNania railroad tunnel under Long
Island City today.
The dead men are said to be a superin.
tendent named George Chapman. a lock
turner named Michael Daily and fore
man named Joseph Pearce. The cause of
the explosion Is unknown. 1t took place
under the Long Island railroad station in
lock at the end Of one OF the four tubes
which are being dug to connect with tubes
running under the East river to Manhat-
tan Island, to connect with subways lead
ing to the proposed Pennsylvania rail-
road station. There were twenty men at
work in-the lock, and three of them were
rendered insensible either by the -concus-
sion or the smoke Of a fire which fol-
lowed 1t. Elsewhere in the tunnel there
were more than thirty men at work.
Woodwork Caught Fire.
Woodwork supporting the tunnei caught
fire instantly, and great clouds Of smoke
poured into all parts of the tunnel. A
wild rush for the shaft a thousand feet
away, and which was the only means Of
exit followed the explosion.
The bucket by which the men were taken
from the shaft to the street above could
not carry more than six men. and there
was a desperate struggle among the fright
ened workmen to be the first to be taken
out.
Fight for Life.
When the last conscious man was
brought to the surface he declared that
several men were lying unconscious at the
bottom of the shaft. There was a call for
rescuers. and a dozen or more OF the tunnel
workers promptly responded. Two OF them
were lowered into the shaft and those at
the bottom were quickly brought up to the
street
Three of the men employed in the tunnel
were missed, and one after another several
parties of tunnel workers essayed to reach
the men, but were unable to penetrate the
long distance through the thick smoke, and
were themselves removed from the tunnel
half conscious. At one time fifteen Of the
rescuers were stretched out on the side
walks, under treatment to resuscitate them
after vainy attempting the rescue.
Finally, the smoke thinned out sufficiently
to permit approach to the mouth OF the
lock, where one man was found uncon-
scious and it was believed dead. The others
missing were supposed to be still in the lock
where the explosion occurred.

Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, October 11.-Havana dis
patches received here today report the re-
call of Gen. Funston from command of the
forces in Cuba 1t is said that his recall is
due to the fact that Vice President Capote
and two other men connected with the
Cuban government chose to keep alive a
grudge dating back to the war Of indepen-
dence in 1898.
They were offended at that time because
Funston, who was serving in the Cuban
army, wished TO return to the United States
and did so despite their efforts to keep him

Active for Cuba.

All these men were active in the Cuban
cause in 1895. and it is said to be common
talk In Havana that at that time they
valued Gen. Funston very highly; so high
~, indeed. that they placed innumerable
obstacles In his way when he felt the time
had come for him to return home. He only
got away eventually by the aid OF the Span
fish authorities, who, naturally, were more
than willing TO see him go, and at his de-
parture he left three very irate Cubans
nursing the grudge which now, after six
years, it seems they have been unwilling
to forget.
Charts L. Magoon will assume charge of
the provisional government on Saturday,
when Secretary Taft and the other mem
bers OF his party, including, as 1t now
seems, Gen. Funston. will sail for home
on the battleship Louisiana. An interesting
state of affairs is expected when the free
and Independent nation Of Cuba, with Gov
MAROON at it's head. undertakes to do bust
ness as such with the United States The
authorities at Washington have agreed that
the islands business shall be conducted by

Necessary Red Tape.

So II appears that when Governor Ma

ton to make to the United States he will
summon to him his secretary Of state. The
secretary will pass the message on to the
Cuban minister at Washington, who, In
turn, will go to the State Department and
with a great deal of formality, make It
known to Secretary Root. The matter will
not stop there by any means, but Mr. Root
will send 1t by messenger to the Secretary
of War. and after the Secretary of War
has received 1t the communication will
finally be placed in the hands of the officers
of the Bureau of Insular Affairs 1t is un-
derstood, however that although this red
tape will be scrupulously observed, Mr.
Magoqn will get several days ahead of his
subordinates by direct private communica-
tons with the War Department.
