Paris, Sept. 25.-The news of explosions
of the magazines of the battleshp Liberte
came as stunning blow to the French
naval officials. 1t is the climax of long
series of disasters which have marked
the history of the French navy since the
blowing up of the battleship lena on
March 3. 1907. The accounts of the disas-
ter as received here during the morning
hours varied widely The most authentic
dispatches stated that the sinking came
nearly two hours after the discovery of
fire in the forward hold. Another ac-
count said that the ship broke in half
from the force of the explosions and
sank 20 minutes later According to this
version the battleship' afterwards reap
peared at the surface for time, a grim
carcass of iron surrounded by n tangled
mass of wreckage.
Estimates of the number of dead vary
from $50 to 600 The minister of marine
has received the following telegram from
Vice Admiral ALBERT, commanding the
fleet at Toulon:
-Four explosions were heard on the
Liberte this morning at intervals of one
minute. beginning at SIS. and followed
by smoke and flames which mounted
steadily. The last explosion occurred at
553 O'Clock. The ship sank After the
smoke had blown away one perceived that
portions of the structure stood above"
The ministry of marine issued this note:
1.-THE last report OF the general inspec-
tor showed the Liberte to be in COM
pletely satisfactory condition and espe
cially regarding the precautions taken in
caring for the magazines"
Vice Admiral Bellue. commanding the
second squadron. to which the Libertc
WAS attached teIegraphed the ministry
of marine tonight as follows:
Three hundred men are dead or miss
ing, which estimate includes those from
other ships in the har5or.''
The minister Of marine, NJ. Delcasse,
received the members of the press this
afternoon and talked to them about
the catastrophe. He WAS greatly dis
tressed and spoke with emotion.
The minister had before him many
official kilograms from Toulon, but he
was unable to estimate accurately the
loss of life. The ship had III officers
and men, of whom $40 were ashore on
leave. Two hundred and seventy-four
others have been accounted for, leaving
303 missing, besides some losses among
tie men of the other ships.
In considering the possible causes of
the explosion, NJ. DelcasseS excluded
that OF spontaneous combustion of
powder. since it had been regularly
renewed and the magazines were kept
a. \ moderate temperature.

Australian Names.

Nearly all my friends" remarked
an Australian the other day, call me
'cornstalk' I've quit correcting
them long ago.
"Now, as 1t happens, the term
should only be applied to the people
of New South Wales. They are the
tall, slim blokes who look as though
you could break them in two between
your finger and thumb. I come from
the colony of Victoria, where we are
known by the still more unattractive
sobriquet of 'gumsuckers.' on account
of our great forests of blue gum trees.
Queensland Ia in the tropics, and
It's inhabitants are called banana eat
ers. The South Australians are
crow eaters because in times OF
drought the natives are sometimes
reduced to the use Of crows as food.
so call me a 'gumsucker' if you
like, but never a 'cornstalk.' and the
next time you want to apply nick
name to an Australian ask him from
which colony he comes"

Art Arcade for Carlsbad.

The project Of an art arcade for
Carlsbad, which has been for so many
years a vexed question among the
tradesmen's associations, is now ma
king progress. The preparations have
been pushed with noticeable energy.
Extensive earth and rock excavations
have been necessary to make room at
one part of the Posthof Promenade
for the building, and it can now be
seen that useful work has been done.
The little booths which formerly stood
here and gave the appearance of an
annual fair were certainly no orna-
ment for the most fashionable prom
enade among the worlds watering
places. Instead of this medley OF
booths of all possible colors and styles
a tasteful, roomy and stately building
will now appear, which will provide a
worthy home for the creations OF
Carlsbad, industries, as well as those
of natives and foreign artists. thus
filling long-felt want.
