Weston and His Record.

Eighty-four thousand miles is a
good deal, even if you say it quick.
1t is over three times the circumfer-
ence of the earth, and it is a notice
able fraction of the distance to
Mars. Not one person in ten thous-
and has ever travelled SO far by rail-
road or steamship. Edward Payson
Weston has walked the entire dis
lance, covering it by means of as
sturdy pair of legs as nature ever
gave man. Because he has walked
those eighty-four thousand miles in
long and short distance tests of en-
durance, he is with little doubt
what he is universally acclaimed
the greatest pedestrian the world has
ever seen.

more than 100.
Investigation today developed no
good grounds for suspicion that the
disaster was planned by conspirators
against the government.
Due to Accident.
1t is also certain the explosion re-
suited from the accidental fall of a
case of dynamite from the hands of
an employe of the public works de-
paTtment, who with others, was load
ing upon wagons cases of the explo-
sivo which was to be transferred from
the barracks to the government maga-
zine in this city. Many of the injured
are believed to be still penned under
the debris.
Barracks Blown Up.
Havana, May 19.-Two almost stimuli
taneous explosions of dynamite, sup
posed to consist of 5000 pounds, COM
pletely demolished the rural guard
barracks in the city of Pinar del Rio
yesterday afternoon. Fully hundred
persons were killed and nearly as
many were wounded.
Most of the dead were rural guards
but the entire families of several of
the officers of the rural guards, it is
reported, were killed also, as well as
several employees of the public works
department and residents of the city,
on which fell deluge of masonry and
debris from the blown-up building.
Accident Theory Held.
1t is not known yet whether the ex-
plosion was the result of an accident
or was due to an act of conspirators,
but the former hypothesis is consider
ed the more probable. Several relief
trains, carrying surgeons, officers and
men of the rural guard and government
