EARTH PASSES COMET SAFELY
REPORT LITTLE
POSITIVE PHENOMENA.
Valuable Pictures Said to Have Been
Taken at Yerkes OBJ
servatory.

Yerkes Observatory, Williams Bay,
through the tail of Halley's comet
astronomers at the Yerkes observatory
here secured photographs and accu-
rate records of meteoric phenomena.
The atmospheric conditions were
nearl. perfect for work with camera
and telescope. The pictures and data
are considered of unusual value and
may develop scientific information and
theories of unexpected Importance
Prof. Edward E. Barnard, one of the
worlds greatest authorities on comets,
was much pleased with the results of
his observations, which extended al
most without interruption, for period
of 48 hours.
Despite spectacular display of
aurora lights which moved across the
sky from east to west, Professor Frost
in charge of the observatory and
Professor Mitchell of New York, do
not connect the phent mena directly
with the comet. The aurora lights
followed the observation of three huge
sun spots.
According to first computations from
observations made here, the earth en-
tered the Authenticated tail of the
comet at speed of slightly more than
46 miles per second. At this juno
ture, the eminent scientists gathered
here, agreed that the passage would
occupy a period of little more than
five hours.
Sixteen cameras especially con-
structed for photographing the sky,
and IA telescopes were trained from
this point on the passage of the comet.
Painstaking care was exercised in
the arrangement and use of instru-
ments to assure complete and accu-
rate data and pictures.
Big Sun Spots Observed.
Vallejo, Cal, May 19.-Prof. T. j.
See, of the United States naval OBJ
servatory at Mare Island reported the
following observation on sun spots.
Great sun spots were noted at 4
p. m. The largest spot was slightly
northeast of the sun center and was
made up OF three parts roughly joined
together by bridging, such as char
acterizes complicated spots.
This seems to indicate that the dis
turbance is destined to last several
days. 1t appears to be increasing in
magnitude and to be of the vortex or
whirlpool type, which often gives rise
to disturbances of the earth's magnet
ism. The sun spots will reach the
suns central meridian in another day
or two, and if any disturbance of the
earth's magnetism is to occur from
this cause it is likely to come about
Friday.
THE spots now seen are not be-
lieved to have any connection with
the comet, and if any aurora or cleo.
trio effects occur, we probably should
ascribe them to the comet rather than
to the SIN SDOtS

RURAL GUARDS AND OFFICERS
FAMILIES PERISH AT PINAR
DEL RIO.
CATASTR0PHE'S CAUSE UNKNOWN
Disaster Happens During Removal OF
Dynamite From Barracks and
Causes Death Of
Many.

Havana, May 1.-two almost sim
ultaneous explosions of dynamite sup
posed to consist of 1900 pounds, com
pletely demolished the rural guards
barracks in the city of Pinar Del Rio.
Fully a 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 guard were
killed also, as well as several EN-
ployes of the public works depart.
ment and residents of the city, on
which fell a deluge Of masonry and
debris from the blown up building.
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 is considered the more
probable.
Several relief trains carrying sur
geons and government officials were
sent from Havana to the scene Of the
catastrophe, which is 118 miles dis
tant.
The barracks, which was a massive
building of Spanish construction, oc-
cupied an eminence in the outskirts
of the city to the north. Adjacent to
the barracks was long row of Off
GERS quarters.
Recently the barracks was occupied
by the public works department and
four troops of rural cavalry. In con-
sequence of the alarm over race dis
turbances the government ordered all
deposits of dynamite in the vicinity
in the possession of contractors for
road construction and other public
works to be removed to the barracks
for safe-keeping.
The work of removing the dynamite
from the barracks for shipment to
the government magazines in Havana
was begun by employees of the public
works department. They were en-
gagged in loading cases of the dyna.
mite on wagons when terrific eXplO-
sion occurred, instantly followed by
another, strewing the central court
with dead and wounded.
The whole massive barracks build
ing was destroyed, the adjacent row
of officers quarters was demolished,
and the whole northern section of the
city was deluged with a torrent of
fragments of masonry.
The explosions occurred at o'clock,
a few seconds before the men would
have quit work, and it is generally be
lieved that the first resulted from the
accidental fall of box of dynamite
which was being lifted on wagon.
According to reports received here
the mangled remains of victims were
found in the streets of the city mile
from the scene of the explosion
There is great anxiety in Havana
owing to the fact that a large num-
Der of the rural garrison at Pinar Del
Rio recently were sent from this city
where their families reside.
