London Especially king Edward
VII. passed into history amid scenes
of homage such as no man has ever
before received from his fellows.
His remains now rest in st. Georges
chapel at Windsor Castle. where the
bones of Edward W., the sixth and
eighth Henrys. Charles l.. the third
and fourth George and William ".
are entombed.
Death was never closed in a
panoply more sublime; dignity in
grief never received expression more
stately. more exalted. Rulers of men
never have assembled in such num-
bers TO do honor 10 one of the great
est among them all. and yet nothing
in the Stupendous spectacle has been
so imposing as the spectators them
selves.
Englishmen had failed to realize
that their king was almost an old
man. The first shock of his death
aroused sentiment of keen resent
ment against fate. The foTnight's
interval since his death has served
TO bring into truer realization that
sense OF personal love and loyalty
which during later years. has been
unanimous among his people. II
was this abiding universal emotion
which gained expression today in
such tribute as finds no parallel
in human records.
Empire In Mourning.
Throughout the British Empire
the day was observed as one of
mourning. Business was suspended
generally and memorial services
held. Similar services were held in
all European capitals. The Emperor
and Empress of Russia attended the
English Chus,h at ST. Petersburg. as
did Premier Stolypin and the men,
bers OF the Douma; and other Euro
pean monarchS and rulers who were
not present ST the funeral paid SINH
lar tributes at their homes.
II is estimated that nearly S,000,-
600 people saw the funeral process

Havana.-Two almost slmurrane-
Gus explosions of dynamite supposed
to consist of 5000 pounds complete
ly demolished the Rural Guard bar
racks in city of Pinar del Rio. Fully
100 persons were killed and nearly
as many wounded.
Most of the dead were rural
guards, but the entire families of
several of the officers of the rural
guard. it is reported. were killed
also, as we'll as several employees of
the public works department and res
idents of the city, on which fell a
deluge of masonry and debris from
the blown-up building.
1t is not known yet whether the
explosion was the result of an acct
spirators, but the former hypothesis
is considered the more probable.
Two Terrific Explosions.
The barracks was massive build
ing of Spanish construction, and oc-
cupied an eminence in the outskirts
of the city to the north. During the
late intervention it was the head
quarters of Colonel Parker's regi-
ment, the Eleventh Calvary. Ad-
jacent to the barracks was a long
row of officers quarters. Recently
the barracks was occupied by the
public works department and four
troops of rural cavalry. In conse-
quence of the alarm over race dis
turbances the government ordered
all deposits of dynamite in the vicin-
ity in the possession of contractors
for road construction and other pub
lie works, TO be removed TO the bar
racks for safe keeping. The work of
removing the dynamite from the
barracks for shipment to the govern
ment magazines in Havana was be-
gun by employees of the public works
department, assisted by rural guards.
guards.
They were engaged in loading
cases Of the dynamite, on wagons
when a terrific explosion occurred, in
stantly followed by another, strewiHg
the central court in which the work
was going on with dead and wound
ed. The whole massive barracks
building was destroyed, the adjacent
row of officers quarters was demol-
ished, and the whole northern sec
ton of the city was deluged with a
torrent OF fragments OF masonry.
Probably Accident.
The explosion occurred at FIVE
O'Clock. a few minutes before the
men would have quit work, and il
is generally believed that the first
resulted from the accident of a fall
of box OF dynamite. which was be-
ing lifted on wagon. 1t is i'm
possible. however. to determine abso-
lutely the cause for the reason that
all the immediate vicinity was blown
TO fragments. 1t is believed that the
majority OF the wounded are resi-
dents OF the town. as practically ali
within the barracks were instantly
killed or buried in the ruins.
According 10 reports received here
the mangled remains of victims were
found in the streets of the city a
mile from the scene of the explosion.
