Schenectady, N. Y. (Special). Darnum and Bailey's "Big Top," the main tent of the circus, caught fire here from a cigar stump and burned like an overturned ' hot-air balloon. Fifteen thousand icop!o, who fill ed the Bi'ftts to overflowing, filed out like school children at drill. It was an admirable display of discipline and coolnrss. Manager Bailey, In commenting on the conduct of the crowd, said: "I consider the ettltute of the people something marvelous. In all my experience of circus life I have never seen anything like it. At least 10,000 of the crowd were women and children, and they all filed out like veteran soldiers. Well, perhaps, a few of the women did faint, and perhaps a few of the children whimp ered, but they wore taken care of by the others; the crowd never lost Its head. There was no danger for one moment of a Htampede." The management attributes the fire to the obstinacy of a careless smok er. Employes who saw him carry a lighted cigar to his seat in me top tier, close to the canvass walls, warned him that he muwt not smoke. Instead of throwing the cigar away they believe he hid it behind his back and in so doing brushed the burning end against the canvass. In any event the nre started In bis neighborhood and was soon out of control. fieotators first smelt the smoke and, quickly discovering the fire, be gan to beat at it with their coats. The fire Boon reached above their heads and the next effort to conquer it came from the circus employes, who began tearing out huge patches of canvas. Their efforts met with no better success, for the fire, eating upward and soo worked Its way to the topmost peak. Energetic men and cool women in the crowd, aided by employes, bad already assumed direction of the audience, and orderly files were soon moving steadily from tho exits. When a woman fainted or a child shrieked in terror; shouts of reassurance rose and strong arms were instantly ready for support. Not a soul was hurt not an ani mal was Injured.

Death was never closed in a panoply more sublime; dignity in grief never received expression more stately, more exalted. Rulers of men never have assembled In such num bers to do honor to one of the great est among them all, and yet nothing n the stupendous spectacle has been so imposing as the spectators themselves. Englishmen had failed to realize that their king was almost an old man. The first shock of his death aroused a sentiment of keen resent ment against fate. The fortnight's interval since his death has served to bring into truer realization that sense of personal love and loyalty which during later years, has been unanimous among his people. It was this abiding universal emotion which gained expression today in such a tribute as finds no parallel n human records. Empire In Mourning. Throughout the British Empire the day was observed as one of mourning. Business was suspended generally and memorial services held. Similar services were held In all European capitals.

UP BY DYNAMITE Families of Some Officers Wiped Out of Existince. The List Of Injured ProbnMy As Large As -The Death Roll Two Explosion At The Same Moment Completely Destroys The llulldlng Not Yet Known Whether It Was An Accident Or The Deed Of Con spirators Searching The Ruin For Snrvivors. Havana. Two almost simultane ous explosions of dynamite supposed to consist of 3,000 pounds complete ly demolished the Rural Guard' bar racks In city of PInar del Rio. Fully 100 persons were killed and nearly as many wounded. Most of the dead were rural guards, but the entire families of several of the officers of the rural guard, it is reported, were killed also, as well as several employes of the public work department and res. idents of the city, on which fell a deluge of masonry and debris from the blown-up building. It Is not' known yet whether the explosion was the result of an acci dent or was due to an act of con spirators, but the former hypothesis Is considered the more probable. Two Terrific Explosions. The barracks was a massive build ing of Spanish construction, and oc cupied an eminence in the outskirts of the city to the north. During th late intervention It was the head quarters of Colonel Parker' regi ment, the Eleventh Calvary. Ad jacent to the barracks was a long row of officers' quarters. Recently the barracks was occupied by the public works department and four troops of rural cavalry. In conse quence of the alarm over race dis turbances the government ordered all deposits of dynamite in, the vicln lty in the possession of contractor for road construction and other pub lie works, to be removed to the bar racks for safe keeping. The work of removing tha dynamite from . the barracks for shipment to the govern ment magazines in Havanna was be gun by employes of the public works department, assisted by rural guards, guards. They were engaged in loading cases of the dynamite.,, on wagons when a terrific explosion occured, in. stantly followed by another, strewing tho central court in which the work waa going on with dead and wound ed. The whole massive barracks buidlng was destroyed, the adjacent row of officers' quarters was demol ished, and the whole northern sec tion of the city was deluged with a torrent of fragments of masonry. Probably Accident. The explosion occurred at five o'clock, a few minutes before the men would have quit work, and it Is generally believed that the . first resulted from the accident of a fall of a box of dvnamlte. which was be ing lifted on a wagon. It Is im- ! possible, however, to determine abso lutely the cause for the reason that all the immediate vicinity was blown to fragments. It Is believed that the majority of the wounded are resi dents of the town, as practically all within the barracks were instantly killed or burled in the ruins. According to reports received here the mangled remains of victims were found In the streets of the city a mile from the scene of the explosion.. There is great anxiety In Havana owing to the fact that a large num. ber of the rural garrison at Pinnr del Rio recently were sent from this city, where their families reside.

The bodv en tered the house from the east side and continued in a straight line through a bedroori and out the other side of the house on Louis Avenue. The torso of another man was found in the garden of a yard about 500 feet west of the scene. Arms, legs and parts of bodies were strewn about the neighborhood. The bodies of seven men, mutilat ed beyond recognition, were found in the north end of the mill. "For God's sake hit me on the head and kill me," cried one work man to a man who found him.
