EXPLOSION HURLS
100 TO DEATH
Barracks at Pinar del Rio, Cuba, Is
Wrecked by Dramatically
Have Been Plot.

HAVANA, May ls.-With a strong
force or rurales under the personal
command OF Gen. Monteagudo, on the
scene, and the government officials
preparing for any eventuality the or
fetal investigation OF the dynamite
explosion. which killed 100 persons,
wounded 500 more and wrecked The
garrison barracks at Pinar Del Rio
yesterday was begun today.
Many OF the injured are In dying
condition, and doctors and medical
supplies from this city have been
rushed TO the scene.
Although leaning 10 the belief that
the explosion was purely accidental,
the government officials are taking no
chances of an uprising. The rural
guards rushed 10 the scene are the
pick OF the force. The fact that none
OF the men actively engaged in the
work of transferring the explosives
survived is likely 10 make the work
OF establishing the exact responsible
ity difficult II not impossible.
This city is filled with rumors Of a
| plot but the officials generally dis
credit them and say all danger OF an
uprising disappeared with the recent
arrest of Gen. EstenoZ.
The work OF exhuming the dead con-
tinued today The scenes in and
about the neighborhood where the
barracks formerly stood are indescri0-
ably horrible. Pieces OF mutilated
flesh and bone are scattered over 4
radius OF mile square, some of them
not large enough to determine whether
they are human or portions OF the
mules and horses that also met death
in the explosion.
Most OF the injured are terribly hurt
Some have limbs missing, the bodies
OF others were penetrated with splin-
tiers of wood or pieces OF stone, and
still others were buried for hours
under debris only to be dug out still
breathing and hurried TO the TEN
porary hospitals.
There yere 5000 pounds of dynamite
in the boxes stored in the regular
magazine when the explosion occurred.
In the building adjacent were quar-.
tered the rurales officers and their
families and the employees OF the pub
lie works department. How many OF
these were killed cannot be determined
for some days as the roll books of The
troops were destroyed by the explo-
sion Among the missing officers, Ger.
tain TO be dead, are Isidro De Orc So
Ter, chief engineer OF the province;
Capts. Alfred Ravena and Gaspard
Betancourt, Lieut.. Emilio Dihigo and
their families.
After making an examination of the
vicinity Gen. Monteagudo expressed
the belief that the cause of the explo-
sion was the careless handling OF the
boxes OF dynamite, although he is still
investigating the theory that it was
set off by sympathizers with a plot
against the present government. The
work of rescue is most hazardous mas
much as there are fears that some OF
the boxes Of dynamite which did not
explode are in the ruins.
