contemplated executing liberals arrested

ported plot to kill Secretary Knox
United States Minister Weitzel. in re-
porting the arrests to the State De-
partment at that time, declared the
records failed to show that any dyna-

the men were arrested merely to keep
them quiet during the Secretary's Wis
it. as they had been talking wildly and
publishing infiammatory articles in the
newspapers.
Secretary Knox. in cablegrams to the
department, declared these precautions
were unnecessary. No request of any
kind for the punishment of the men
arrested was made by this govern
ment.

FINAL CEREMONIES SATURDAY
Interment With the Honors of War
to Occur in Arlington Ma
tional Cemetery.

The L. S. S. Birmingham floated laziy
to the dock at the navy yard this morn
ing, with no more attention being paid
to the performance than if the cruiser
had been coaler lin for repairs instead
of a vessel having under an awning on
the afterdeck thirtyfour plain-looking
collins containing the bones of men who
died when the Maine went down in
Havana harbor in 1895. It was an odd
reception. without formality: yet the
bones which have laid below the surface
of the sea SO long will be honored with
every touch of formahty and reverence
Saturday, when the United States gov
ernment will inter these historic relics
forever in the cemetery at Arlington.
The smoke from the Birmingham's big
stacks appeared over a bend in the Mary
land shore before 10 o'clock this morning
and the big gray ship came slowly into
view shortly afterward. A score of
jackies were waiting at the dock, and
when the Birmingham was near enough
most of its crew was seen lined along the
rail-. Capt. Frank Beatty, commandant of
the navy yard, went down to see the Wis
itors and watched the work Of securing
the ship.

NINE PERSONS KILLED
IN EXPLOSION Of GAS
Mine Settings Near Scranton,
Pa, Almost Wipe Out an
Entire Family.

SCRANTON, Pa. March 2O.-In q gas
explosion caused. 1t is thought, by mine
settings, nine persons were killed and
two injured early today in Dunmore. near
here. Two families, comprising two wom-
en- and seven children. were either blown
to pieces in the explosion or burned in
houses.
The dead are: Mrs. John Cavalla and
her five children, Rose, aged three years;
Dopinick, eight; Lucy. eleven; Lizzie,
seventeen, and William, twenty; Mrs.
Vito Summa. Mrs. Cavalla's daughter,
and her two children, Mary, aged seven.
and Frank, four.
Body Found in Tree.
The body Of Mary Summa was found in
the limbs of a tree fifty feet from the
scene of the explosion a half hour after
the accident. More than twenty dwellings
near the scene of the explosion were
badly damaged by the concussion and the
fying timbers and scores Of persons were
thrown out Of their beds and bruised.
During the past week mine settings in
the neighborhood of the Cavalla home
have caused alarm. Only few days ago
the cellar dropped out of house on the
opposite side of the street and several
miners climbed to the surface on ladders
let down by the women of the house.
Caused by Broken Main.
The Dunmore police, after an investiga-
ton Of the explosion, say that gas from
a broken main, caused probably by the
mine settling, found it's way into the eel
lar of the Cavalla home, where it gathered
in a dense volume and exploded when 1t
came in contact with an oil lamp that
was burning in the house.

PLOT TO KILL KNOX?
Thirteen Bombs Reported
Found in Nicaragua.
ZELAYISTAS FACE DEATH
Two Score Held Pending Govern
ment Investigation.
EXPLOSIVES UNDER RAILROAD
Secretary's Train Said to Have
Passed Over Engine of
Assassination.

| NEW ORLEANS, March 2o.-As the
result of the alleged discovery by the
government of Nicaragua of a plot 10
assassinate Secretary of State Knox on
| the occasion of his recent visit to the
| capital of that country, it is not i'm
| probable that a number of prominent
| liberals will be put to death, accord
| ing to advices received here today from
-Bluefields.
Thirteen dynamite bombs placed be-
meath the roadbed over which Secretary
knox's special train travelled from Corin-
to to Manasua and connected with an
electric battery were discovered by gov
ernment agents, and will be used as evil
dence against the conspirators.
Two Score in Cells.
Two score Zelayistas or liberals are
confined in the penitentiary at Managua
and are held incommunicado, pending
the termination of the present investiga-
tion by the government
On the day of Mr.. Knox's arrival at
| Managua bomb was exploded under
| the Ch1lamate bridge, between Leon and
| La Ceiba, destroying a small portion of
the track, but doing very little damage
| to the bridge.
Near this point four sections of the
| telegraph and telephone wires were cut.
Carefully Planted.
| The thirteen dynamite bombs, with the
battery connections, were discovered be-
tween Posoltega and Chichigalpa, care
fully planted beneath the railroad tracks.
The discovery of these bombs, it is
said. was not made until after the Knox
! special train had passed on its way to
| the capital, and the failure of the con-
| spirators to get in their deadly work is
proper battery connections or the ap-
proach of guards who had been detailed
| to patrol the tracks.
Editors Arrested.

daily, which has been extremely bitter
! in attacks upon President Diaz of Mica
| ragua and the so-called Knox dollar

day Of Mr.. Knox's arrival at the capital
with the suggestive heading. Dynamite

The issue of the paper was suppressed,
with the exception of a few copies and
the editors and publishers were thrown
into prison.
Private cablegrams from Managua con-
frmatory Of the mail news from Blue
fields have been received in New Or
leans. Even before Mr.. Knox set sail
on his Latin-American trip a prominent

and the stacks lowered high over any
thing in the yard. Under an awning on

covered with flowers.
Commander Charles F. Hughes was on
the bridge, paying strict attention to the
business of getting alongside the dock.
Sailors began tossing heavy lines from
the dock to the ship and vice versa, and
when half a dozen thick hawsers had
been made fast, over the side clambered
