TROOPS LANDED IN CUBA —e era | First Detachment of Expedition Reaches Havana. REPUBLIC MUST PAY EXPENSE Will Have Huge Bill to Settle When Provisional Government Is Ended. The first landing of American sol- diers in the occupation of Cuba was accomplished with marvel ous promptness, and 500 men of the Fifth United States Infantry and 350 men of the Second Battalion of Engi- neers are under canvas in Camp Col- preseat umbia. The cruiser Brooklyn arrived | at Havana October 7 with 400 men on | board. General Frederick Funston has es- tablished his headquarters at Maria- nao, convenient to his Colonel L. W. T. Waller, command- | ing the marines, has been ordered to report to General Funston, and the entire force of regulars and marine will be under Funston’s command un- til the arrival of General J. Franklin Bell, who will direct the distribution of the forces throughout the island. The disarming of former insurgents is going on. Reports from members of the disarmament commission in var- ious provinces indicate thet the trouble threatened may be avoided, al- though ex-rebels and volunteers in a few towns in Santa Clara province are still disinclined to be the first to dis- arm, and it is feared American sol- diers will have to be sent to back up the demands of the disarmament commission. Havana, Santiago. Pinar Del Rio, Matanzas and Puerto Principe pro- vinces are practically clear of rebels and show no signs of trouble. ft will be a very large sum that Cuba will be called to pay after the intervention for the restortation of command. | EIGHT KILLED, FORTY HURT for Philadelphia Rapid Transit | Company. Eight men were killed and | two score of persons were injured by | the explosion of illuminating gas in | the Market street subway at Sixth street, Philadelphia. High buildings were shaken by the force of the ex- plosion, and for a block on either side of the scene nearly every window was shattered. The street caved in, halting traffic and resulting in a sus- pension of business. Fire followed the explosion, but it didi no damage to neighboring build- ings. The loss, it is believed, will exceed $300,000. The dead are: John Lawless, timber foreman; Frank Leans, employed by | the United Gas Improvement Com- pany; Gato Renigno of Pittsburg, laborer; John Scott, laborer; Frank Beidleman, tailor; Frank Croller, laborer; R. Capero, laborer, and John Pacy, carpenter. The subway is in course of con- struction by the Millard Construction Company for the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company. The exact cause of the explosion has not yet determined. Workmen in the excava- .tion discerned the odor of gas, and: the United Gas Improvement Com- pany, whose conduits run through the, tunnel, wae notified.

John Alexander Dowie’s plan for a Mexican colony was aba:{loned in obedience to a command received by Dowie, in a vision that came to him, according to an anpnouncement by D 0a Arrington, one of Dowie’s followers. The scheme, Deacon Arrington said, was relinouished in favor of another that contemplates the raising of $1,- 000.000 in Chicago for the purpose of restoring Dowie’s power and prestige. All preparations for Dowie’s depart ure for Mexico had been completed when in a vision, Dowie declares, he saw the Master and heard His voice. He was commanded, he said, to give up the Mexican project and seek the glory of Zion elsewliere. Dowie then commissioned Deacon Arrington to come to Chicago and raise $1,000,- 000 “for God and Zion.” A Turkish patrol which attempted | to cross the Bulgarian {frontier near Philipoplis, has been repulsed by the Bulgarian outposts.

The collision took place on a heavy grade and sharp curve. The passen- ger train consisted of five cars, and was about one hour late when it reach- ed Lansingiuiurgh station, waiting there for a chance to get into the Troy depot. Without apparently any warning the special came thundering along with 18 cars and crashed into two cars, which were Pullmans, like eggshells. Both these cars were swept from the track and rolled down the embankment. The engine of the special kept on for a dozen yards and then turned turtle. The special was drawing four troops of the Fourteenth United States cav- alry from Fort Allen to Newport | News, where they are to embark for | Cuba. The soldiers quickly got to | work to rescue the injured. In a com- paratively short time most of those pinned down by the wreckage were on | their way to a hospital. One man’s grief was pitiable. His name was J. W. Dacey and he ran up | and down the track crying for his wife. In a few minutes her lifeless | form was identified.

STATE GAPITOL DEDICATED, Explosion in Shaft Under Construction | burg Pennsylvania. PRESIDENT DELIVERS ADDRESS Brief Speeches Were Made by Gov- ernor Pennypacker and W. A. Stone—Military Parade Follows. Pennsylvania's magnificent state capitol was dedicated October 4th with imposing ceremonies, despite a steady downpour of rain, which began to fall at an early hour. The rain was the only discordant feature of the day’s proceedings. President Roosevelt and party ar- rived on their special train shortly after 11 o'clock and were met at the siation by the dedication commission. The President's salute was fired from the arsenal across the river and the Boies Penrose. The President was escorted to the :capitol by the dedication commission, Mayer Edward Z. Gross, of ‘Harrisburg, and the Governor's Troop. g ’ The President was received at the capitol by Gov. Pennypacker and staff members of the Supreme Court and other honored guests. ne Meanwhile a throng of people solid- ly covering the streets for three blocks was waiting in the rain for the appearance of the nation’s chief exe- cutive, and.the most of them were un- provided with umbrellas, taking the downpour in great good nature. The grandstand was - erected . at State and Third streets. It had no provision of rain and the elements made things unpleasant for the President and guests. The President | was undisturbed, apparently, by either | the immense throng of people which | crowded about him or by the rain | which descended in torrents. i The exercises began shortly before 12 o'clock, with Gov. Pennypacker presiding. The band played “Hail to the Chief’ as the President entered the grand stand. Everyone rose anid remained standing during the rendit- jon of ‘““America,”” which followed. A Scripture reading by John H. Dilling- ham, of the Society of Friends, was followed by a silence which was pro-| found and impressive. W. i A, Stone | was then introduced and formally pre- sented the capitol to the common- wealth as the president of the building | commission. The address accepting the. build-| ing was delivered by Gov. Pennypack- | er and it was pronounced one of the | governor's most noteworthy efforts. He was greeted with prolonged ap- plause. : Following the governor, President | Roosevelt made an address, reading from manuscript. It was a masterly | effort and he was given the closest | attention throughout its delivery. l Congressman Marlin E. Olmsted of | Harrisburg, was chief marshal and | Col. W. F. Richardson chief of staff. | The state constabulary, a large de- | tachment of which was present led | the parade, followed by a provisional | brigade of the National Guard, State | College Cadets, Soldiers’ Orphan | School Cadets, Carlisle Indian School | Cadets and other organizations. There | were many bands to enliven the par- ade. ? “ The new Capitol is one of the most beautiful and imposing buildings in the United States, not only in its architecture, but also in its interior | decorations and furnishings. Thus far the building and its furnishings rep- | resent an expenditure of about $13.- 000,000. The building is Roman- Corinthian in its general design and is faced with Barre granite. It covers a trifie more than two acres of ground. The Capitol consists of a main build- ing and two wings, the total - length | being 525 feet and the breadth 254 | feet. The whole is surmounted with | a dome rising 202 feet above the first | floor. The most striking feature of | the exterior ornamentation is the em- | ployment of 32 great granite mono- | liths, each weighing 35 tons. The | interior of the dome is decorated in | gold, cream and blue, and at the top | there is a patch of sky, studded with | | glittering stars. | Two great corridors lead :off from | the rotunda to various suites offices. From the rotunda gallery on | the second floor elaborated doorways, | with heavy mahogany hangings, lead | into the Senate and House chambers on either side. The building contains 481 rooms, and is occupied by all of the depart- ments of the State Government, in- cluding the Supreme and Superior | courts. It contains more floor space | than that of the Capitol at Washing- | ton and more -than that of the Capitol | at Albany. Torpedo Boat Strikes Rocks.
