KILLED BY OIL WELL FUMES.

Das BOGUS, Mexico, and Country
Around Scene of Queer Affection.
Fumes so strong that all metals in a

black, buzzards, parrots and other birds
are dying in great numbers, and the
eyesight Of many people far away is
affected, are announced as among the
results of the great flow of the Next
can oil well at Dos Becas, Mexico.
Since the recent fire there, which, as
reported at the time, consumed several
million barrels Of oil during its almost
two months continuance, the best en-
cheering skill on beth sides of the
MeXlcan-United States boundary line
has been engaged in the effort TO con-
troll the flow and conserve the oil.
Immense earthen reservoirs and bikes
have been built, but the oil passed over
these with ease and spread over the
laguna for several miles. Men and
animals, reports Consul Griffith at
Tampico, are dying from the effects of
the noxious gases constantly thrown off
in great quantities by the wells, Ozul-
uama, a town in Vera Cruz state, seven
leagues distant, and Tampico, sixty-five
miles distant, are experiencing the
blackening of metal from this cause,
and all ships entering Tampico from
Vera Cruz and passing near the well
show the effects of the poisonous gases.
Consul Griffith says 1t has been au-
thoritatively reported that two labor
ers with ten mules were exposed to a
current Of the deadly fumes at dis
lance from the well and were instantly
killed. The Diaz government has sent
to the well 300 sappers to assist the
company in protecting the lives and
property of the people living and work
ing in that neighborhood.
