NEW DEPOT FOR GREAT BEND.
Santa Fe Will Spend $4,000 on Other
improvements.

Great Bend, May 19.-Judge EIrick
c. Cole and E. w. Moses were in
Dodge City Wednesday on business
While there, Superintendent Tice of
the Santa Fe, invited the gentlemen
10 his office and gave them, in answer
to direct inquiry, some very cheer
full information for the public at Great
Bend.
Mr.. Tice said new passenger de-
pot will be built at Great Bend this
summer. The structure will be of
br1ck, 4OX15O feet, thoroughly modern
in every respect. 1t will have a ladies'
waiting room 34x30, and mems
waiting room 2Sx30 and large bag
gage room. Both waiting rooms to
have toilet rooms and every conven-
fence. The depot will be built about
300 feet west of where the present
structure stands. The tracks now on
the north side of the depot, except the
elevator track, will be taken out, so
there will be no switching between
the passenger station and the city,
except on this one track.
The present depot will be moved
from where it now stands to a point
little north and west of the Walnut
Creek Milling company's office, and
will be used for freight business ex-
clusively. The tracks are all to be ar
ranged so there will be practically
no switching across or east of Main
street, as is now the case. The station
will cost about $4,000.
A new round house, to cost about
$40, 900 is to be built this summer, and
thus enable the company to better
handle their power equipment at this
place.

DEATHS NUMBER 100.
Explosion of 5000 Pounds of Dyna.
mite Wrecks Barracks.

Havana, May 1.-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.
The barracks was a massive building
of Spanish construction and occupied
an eminence in the outskirts of the
city to the north. During the late in
PREVENTION it was the headquarters of
Col. Parker's regiment, the Eleventh
cavalry. In consequence of the alarm
over race disturbances, the government
ordered all dynamite in the vicinity in
the possession of contractors for road
construction and other public works IL
be removed to the barracks for safe
keeping. The work of removing the
dynamite from the barracks for ship
ment to Havana was begun by en-
ployes of the public works department
assisted by rural guards.
They were engaged in loading cases
of the dynamite on wagons when the
explosions occurred, strewing the CEN
trail court, in which the work was 60
ing on, with dead and wounded.

OF ballast (cinders) has been used in

on the curves, reballasting ties, sur
