DYNAMITE'S VICTIMS.
A House Is DloTrn to Splinters and Fire
- People Killed. ,
DUBUQUE, la., Sept. 9. Edward Iat
ehaw, a sub-contractor on the government
work on the Mississippi river, had 6,000
pounds of dynamite stored away in the
cellar of a house at Specht's Ferry, twelve
miles north of here. Yesterday his son,
while practicing with a revolver, missed
the target, the bullet entering the cellar
and firing the dynamite. The house was
blown to splinters, and the following per
sons killed: Edward Latshaw and his wife,
Charity; Ray Latshaw, 12 years old; Ma
Xiatshaw, aged 8 years, all of Victory,Wis. ;
Hans Bjornstatt, of Lacrosse, Wis.
The wounded are: Matthew Faber, may
die; Edward Bench, of Laing, eye knocked
out and badly bruised; Matthew Latshaw,
skull fractured.
The scene of the explosion is a little
hamlet, containing only a hotel, depot,
warehouse and a few shanties. The force
of the explosion tore a hole fifteen feet
deep in the solid rock, wrecked the build
ing above it and damaged nearly every
other building in the place. The mother,
two daughters and younger son were found
in the wrecked house, the baby girl lying
across her mother's dead and mutilated
body, crying piteously for her.
Against Royal Panpers.
Cardiff, Sept. 6. At yesterday's ses
sion of the trades union congress the par
liamentary committee was instructed to
urge upon parliament the passage of a bill
declaring for the principle of payment of
salaries to members of the house of com
mons. Mr. Sexton, a delegate from Liv
erpool, in seconding a motion for the adop
tion of a resolution in favor of th nrohi-
bition of the landing of pauper aliens, said
that he wished to include within the scope
of the resolution royal paupers who arrived
without visible means of subsistence, but
who soon found them. These, Mr. Sexton
said, were the men who controlled the em
pire, while the poor British taxpayers had
no rights at all.

Because She Refused to Renounce the In
surgent Cause A Story from Insurgent
Sources Which, If True, Is a Disgrace to
the Civilization of Spain.
New Yoek, Sept. 6. Atrocities by Span
iards, as revolting as those committed by
the Japanese at Port Arthur, have just
been reported to the Cuban4 revolutionary
party in New Yoak. Enrique Trujilio,
editor of El Porvenir, received a letter yes
terday from Juan Franco, chief of staff un
der General Maximo Gomez, the com'
mander-in-chief of the insurgent army It
is dated "Headquarters m the field,- An?.
3," and sends details of the capture anii
recapture of the city qf Baire, and the mas
sacre of thirty-seven inoffensive Cubans
mostly women and "children by the Spa:i
lards under Commander Carrido.
On Tuesday morning, according to
Colonel Franco's letter, a company of in
surgents under Jose Rabi, surprised the
Spanish garrison, in the fortress command
ing the city of Baire, killed more than
seventy men and took fifty-six prisoners.
They captured a large quantity of arms
and persuaded the prisoners to enlist in
the insurgent ranks. About an hour later
three companies of Spanish troops under
Cpmander Garrido came up and after a
6hort but sharp resistance the Cubans lied,
leaving the fortress . again in the hands of
the invader.
Soon after the fort nadbeenregarrisorfed
with Spaniards one of the . companies
broke loose and began to pillage the city.
Commander Garrido himself, Colonel
Franco states, led the uniformed rioters.
The Spanitvrds were wild for the spilling
of blood. Every human creature who
came in their path was ruthlessly slain.
Within five minutes the streets of Baire
were deserted by the panic stricken na
tives, but - the Spaniards followed them
into their houses and killed them in their
own rooms. ' r .
"Age, sex and condition were wholly
disregarded by these liveried butchers,"
says Colonel Franco. "Old and young ;
women, cmiaren even lniants were
slaughtered. Shocking indignities were
offered to the unfortunate victims before
and' after death The" Spanish soldiers
stamped on the bodies of those whom they
had slain and ground their heels into the
faces of many who were still living.
"Senorita Dolores Madera, a beautiful
girl of 18, betrothed to one of Captain
Rabi's lieutenants, was seized on the
street, cruelly beaten, repeatedly stabbed
with bayonets and brutally insulted.
"One of Garrido's captains commanded
the girl to renounce hor Cuban sweetheart
and swear loyalty to the Spanish govern
ment. She scornfully refused, whereupon
the captain struck her across the face, with
his sword, inflicting a terrible gash. "With
blood streaming down her face, she taunted
the Spaniards with their cowardice. There
upon the maddened soldiers 6eizedher,
bound her' hand and foot, threw a noose
around her neck, and hanged her to a tree.
The torture of Senorita Madera was pro
longed as much as possible. While she
was still alive, but no longer conscious,
her body was riddled with bullets."
The Mine Officials Fay That There Is Not

Fire a Mystery. '
Calumet, Mich., Sept. 9. At about 3
o'clock Saturday afternoon fire broke out
in the shaft of the Osceola mine, and it is
more than probable that thirty men and
boys ' have been burned to death or suf
focated. ' - -
The fire started in shaft No. 3, which is
used to carry the miners to the surface,
from the mine. When the fire broke out
all of the men and boys employed in the
mine, about 300 in number, made a rush
for the shaft in the hope of being takerr to
the surface. The fire was too rapid for
them, however, and the chance of escap
ing by the shaft was entirely cut off by
the flames and smoke. The majority of
the miners made a break for a cross cut,

Captain P. Richards, with a gang of

evening and went about 700 feet toward
No. 4 shaft, when they had to turn and flee
for their lives on account 'of the smoke and

. Several miners in their flight passed a
group of seven or eight who had stopped
to rest and were smoking their pipes. They
seemed to be in no hurry or think of dan

they remarked that they had plenty of
time, but not one of them reached the sur
face. . t
An attempt will be made to reach the
men today. There is no danger of the
bodies being burned, and it is generally
thought that the men escaped to some of
the drifts leading to other shafts and were
overcome by gas and smoke before they
could reach a place of safety. This being
the case, the bodies will be recovered as
soon as the fire is gotten under control
and the gases leave the mine.

Greenville, Mich., Sept. 9. An at

Waskinston, Sept. 7. Official confirma
tion of the victorious entry of General
Alf aro with his army into the city of
Quito, Ecuador, has been received from
Commander Watson, of the Ranger. The
dispatch gives definite and final official
confirmation to the reports of the success
of the revblution. The conflict has lasted
several months, and the reports of Alfaro's
movements have been so contradictory as
to occasion doubt as to the success of his
movement. But Commander Watson's
dispatch removes all doubt, and shows
that the rebellion has culminated in a
evolution.

Investigating an Express Robbery.
Terre Haute, Ind., Sept. 9. Assistant
Superintendent Curtis, of the Adams Ex
press company, arrived, here at an early
hour from Columbus, O. He is making a
thorough investigation of the robbery of
the company's safe by its local cashier, J.
Don Farden. The city agent of the Van
dalia railroad, J. R. Barnett, is known to
be implicated in the crime. Disclosures
develop the fact that the robbery had been
planned for the last three months,and it is
ascertained that both Farden and Barnett
had packages of money in their possession
before leaving town Friday night. The
belief is widespread that Farden, who for
many years has been a trusted employe of
both the government and the express com
pany, would not have run away with so
small a sum as $16,000, the amount con
ceded by the express officials as having
been stolen.
