subsidized today according to dis
patches that reached here from La
Libertad and San Salvador.
The official list of drowned in the
sinking of an island In the Llopango
lagoon was placed at 200, all island
ers.
Additional details of the sinking
OF the island contained in the dis
patches showed that the natives
we're aware of the fate that awaited
them hours before they were
drowned.
The island started to sink at mid
night and gradually slid into the
sea being completely submerged
four hours after the first shock. The
stronger OF the islanders took the
boats and escaped. The others fed
to the highest peak and huddled
there until the sea followed them.
other uninhabited islands also
were reported missing yesterday and
today. having met with similar
fate.

A street car on Lexington avenue

With the first shock of the explo-

A score of the little orr we're tram

In the meantime $4,000 persons

DISAGREE
ABOUT THE
TAX LEVY
SCHOOL BOARD WILL MEET AT
HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING THIS
AFTERNNNON AT O'CLOCK
no DISCUSS THE TAX LEVY.

With a view of determining whe-
ther or not the levy of two and
tbree-fourths mills for the purchase
of the Besemer site and the erection
OF a school house upon 1t is legal, 4
special meeting of the school board
will be held this afternoon at
O'Clock ait the high school building,
and in view of the fact that there
is a division among the members On
the subject, and also among lawyers
in the city. and a strong resentment
on the part of the people of East
Salem against the members who
sought to have the levy declared IL
legal. the meeting promises to be
well attended and to be of most
interesting character.
The levy was made at the annual
taxpayers meeting last week when q
total of seven and one-half mills
was made for the maintenance and
Improvement of the public schools
for the coming year. When the
school board met Saturday night for
the purpose of approving the min
utes of the meeting and to certify
to the levy to the county to the coun-
ty clerk; Director Babcock moved
that the minutes be approved as to
all of the levy, save that covering
the purchase of the Besemer site
and the erection of a school house
upon it on the ground that it was
illegal. In support of his contention
he read an opinion on the subject
from Attorney Richardson. Rich
ardson in his opinion stated that
the board was not authorized to
make a levy in excess of that which
was necessary for school purposes
and also that 1t was not specified in
the notice that the meeting was
called for the purpose of making a
levy for the purchase of a site and
the erection of school house upon
1t.
II seems to be the opinion among
lawyers that the first contention will
not have the effect of invalidating
the levy, but as to whether the 9th
er will. there is a division of
opinion. Those who contend that 1t
does not, point out in support of
their contention the fact that the
meeting was not OF a special char-

sons were killed, eight are missing
and believed to be ddld, and more
than 25 persons were injured in a
terrific explosion todPy that wrecked
the New York Central milk depot,
the railroads carpenter shop and the
power house of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad, at 49th
street and Lexingto, navenue.
The terrible force of the explosion
led to report that carload of dy-
Mantle on the railroad tracks near
by had exploded. Police are investi-
eating the rumor.
Within a few minutes after the ex-
plosion police and firemen were bring
ing manned and bleeding bodies from
the ruins, while wounded men, wo-
men and children within a radius OF
II blocks were being hurried to hos
pitals for treatment.
Public buildings, grammar
school, hospital, the huge arch oi
the Grand Central station, freight
sheds and residences were damaged
by the force of the blast, which loos
ened windows in Central Manhattan
and sent splintered glass and showers
of brick and mortar over great
area.
The explosion occurred shortly af
ter 8 o'clock. The cause probably
never will be known, as the mill
house was totally wrecked, the ada
cent carpenter shop razed and the
power house nearby demolished. II
is believed the boilers in the mill
depot exploded, but the destruction
was so complete that the cause could
only be surmised, following hasty
investigation.
