glare that was seen fully as far,

dows more than a hundred miles
away, three carloads of dynamite ex-
ploded at the plant of the Dupont
Nemours company, shortly after eight
o'clock tonight, in the village OF Pleas
ant Prairie, six miles west of this
city. It will be impossible for many
hours to tell accurately the number
of dead.
Nearly every house in the village,
which contained 700 residents, has
been badly demaged, and some Of
them utterly demolished. Reports
from the country, ten miles distant,
are to the effect that houses even
that far from the explosion were
thrown down. It is believed newt
able that many people have been kill
ed or injured throughout the sur
rounding country. So far as is known
at present, however, but one man, E.
S. Thompson, foreman Of Glaze Mill,
was killed outright, but Charles Bra.

engineer, are badly injured and may
die.

American capital invested there, so,
after all, the move to bring about
more trannuil conditions in Mexico

American capital invested there, so,
after all, the move to bring about
more tranquil conditions in Mexico
has to do principally with Americans
and American interests.
Just what part the President Diaz
government has played In the recent
events has not yet been disclosed.
From time to time protests have been
made to Washington regarding VIOLA
tons of neutrality laws along the
border. Such protests, however, would
not ordinarily call out such force as
has been rushed toward Texas and
the Mexican frontier during the past
forty-eight hours. 1t is considered
probable that the Mexican govern
ment may have indicated to European
powers it's inability to put an end to
the disorders so long as succor was
given to the revolutionist forces in
the United States.
Whatever the inner and diplomatic
moves may have been, there no longer
Is any purpose on the part of the ad-
ministration to cloak the movement Of
troops with mystery. The Mexican
government, whether it asked help of
this government or not, has been CIV
en- the greatest assistance it could
possibly have desired. An official note
from Washington made public in Mex
leo City last night, assuring General
Diaz that there was nothing in the
movement of troops that should cause
uneasiness on the part of the Mexican
government, was more than justified
by admissions made today.
There is no telling at this time how
long the big army sent to the Mexi-
can frontier will have to remain there.
1t will not be withdrawn until the
revolution has been crushed out and
until conditions in Mexico are much
more stable than they now are believ-
ed to be.
The situation in Lower California
is said to have caused more concern
to the United States than at any other
point. 1t was reported that the revo-
lutionists were exceptionally strong
there and threatened tt set up a gov.
eminent Independent of either that of
Diaz or that Of the revolutionists to
the east. The line between the Unit
ed States and Lower California is but
an imaginary one, and q revolutionary
government there would be source
Of constant worry.

Spokane chamber of commerce, but
it is likely they will be requested to
give space to a statement showing the
true condition of public health in Spo-
kane, as there have been no cases of
bubonic, typhoid or typhus fever in
this city. The three deaths in the
Oliver family were caused by severe
influenza and pneumonia, which facts
we're known at the time the dispatch
