Briceyille, Tenn.-One hundred anG
seven men were entombed Saturday
morning in the Great Cross Mountain
coal mine, as the result of an expio-

They had entered to begin the
days work, when a terrific explosion
wrecked the workings. Three only

succeeded in getting into the open
before the flames and smoke caught
them. The body of Lee Polston,
operator of the mine fan plant, was
found buried and mangled under the
cave-in in the main shaft
There are three theories as to the
cause of the explosion. One is that
powder or dust exploded, the second
Is that an electric wire came in con-
tace with explosives. and the third Is
that the explosion was caused by
poor tamping of drill.

MAINE WRECKED BY mine
| Naval Board Finds That Rattieshp
Was Destroyed as Result of an
| Outside Explosion.

Washington.-The United States
battleship Maine. which sunk in Ha'
vana harbor February, 1898, as re.
suit of an explosion, was blown vi
from the outside.
This was announced Friday by tho
naval board that has been examining
the wreck. The finding confirms the
report of the original Investigators
who made a superficial examination
Of the wreck soon after the disaster
The statement was given out by
the navy department in brief. Secre'
tary Meyer does not believe it nee
essary to issue any extended eXpla.
nation of the boards conclusions be-
yond the fiat statement that an ex,
terror explosion was responsible for
the loss of the warship and the
lives of many men.
Secretary Meyer announced that
there might be a further statement
on the report of the board after ii
had been considered by the presi
dent. One member of the board was
of the opinion that the report would
not be published in full, but would
be kept in the confidential files Oh
the navy department.
The declaration that a low form OF
explosive was used in the outside ex
piosion indicates a belief that a
mine, and not dirigible torpedo
was the instrument of destruction.
This only deepens the mystery OF
the destruction of the Maine. A mine
charged with sufficient gunpowder tc
blow in the bottom of the ship mus
have weighed several hundred
pounds. To plant such a mine and
lay the electric connections neces
sary for its discharge would have re
quired the services of number Of
