Panama, Cable: Over 100 men were killed or wounded at Das Obispo, fifteen niilos from here, by tho explosion of forty tons of dynamite. The men who were killed were part of the huge force engaged lu making tho Culebra cut, at the beginning of which is the settlement of Bas Obispo. Hero was tho headquarters and the supply depot for tho operations in progress there. The rock hi the Culebra cut is the hardest yet encountered In digging the canal, and, consequently. a greater amount of explosive was kept on luind there. It is supposed that familiarity had caused the workmen to be careless In handling the powder. Contractors here say the men should not have tried to make a blast with forly tons. The excavation of the Culebra cut is now going on and the dirt Is flying by rapid train loads from five dif

ferent levels. Counting those made by

tne Kreuch suitable for tracks there

are ten levels. Terrace above ter

race they rise to the view, with hills.

and trees and valleys beyond them a

landscape of tremendous interest and activity. There are continual explosions of dynamite and powder blasts. Tho blast holding the record for

size and results contained 27 tons ol explosives. Tho men were trying to surpast that mark. All around" air drills and steam drills are making holes in the rocks to admit tho dynamite and powder. Great cranes are hoisting their heavy loads; occasional hill slides are filling the gullies and covering the tracks; running streams and standing pools add. to tho variety of tho problem; engines, for various phases of the work, are puffing and snorting and doing their master's bidding. All this was going on when the disastrous blast occurred. For a moment the thousands of laborers, foremen and engineers thought only that one section of the forcehad made another "shot" and pre pared to remove the debris. In a few seconds, howover the air was filled with the shrieks of shattered human beings.

The field hospital staff nnd equip

ment were wholly Inadequate to cope with the emergency. The doctors Immediately on the grounds hastily passed the dead by and soucht for signs of life In those obviously hurt the worst. To those they gave first attention, while the American foremen and engineers gave hasty aid to others less dangerously wounded.

Washington, Spoclal: In one of the most vitriolic messages ever transmitted to Congress President Roosevelt Tuesday reiterated his denial that there was anything questionable about the transaction involving the purchase of the Pauamn Canal property by tho United States. Tho message is. In a sense, an amplification of the lottor sent to William D. Foulke. of Indiana, at Hot Springs, Va.. last month, and is tho product of tho Joint efforts of tho President, members of his Cabinet and others who in their official capacity assisted in the consummation of the transfer of the waterway to this Government. The President adds Joseph Pulitzer, the owner and publisher of the NewYork World, to his Ananias Club, and announces that Attorney-General Bon

aparte has under consideration the question of prosecuting him for alleged criminal libel. The President In recent years has employed some very virile language in expressing his ideas or opinions in his messages to Congress, but ho probably reached the climax in his latest message. He undoubtedly was boiling with Indignation when he wrote the message, as may be Judged from tho use of the following terms: "Scurrilous and libelous In character; concocted with a view of possible blackmail; string of Infamous lies; lying and libelous editorials; guilty of criminnl ofTense; blackening the good name of the American people; vlllfier of the American people; wantonly and wickedly blackens character" and "wrongdoing of the basest and foulest kind."

Most of this Rooseveltlan philippic is directed at Mr. Pulitzer, primarily on account of the recent editorial utterances upon the canal matter and his effort to demonstrate that tho President 'was guilty of misrepresentation in statements contained in his letter to Foulke. and, secondarily, because of the World's hostile attitude toward him In tho last year or so. There was but a small attendance In the Senate and the clerk hurried through this message, the accompanying papers and exhibits not being rend at all. Over in the House more attention was paid to the document.

Tho Allx was lying close In shore, off Puorto Cabello. and notwithstanding the threat which the Venezuelan Government had made to fire upon any if the Dutch warships committing a hostile act, the Golderland steamed at speed toward the guardship and sent an officer and guard In a launch to seize her. This they did without resistance and no shots came from the forts on land. Naturally the people of Curacao, who have long been clamoring for activity on the part of the Dutch Gov

ernment, are greatly rejoiced over this evidence that Holland has at last begun active measures against Venezuela. The opinion is held here that the Venezuelan Government, In the absence of President Castro, will not go so far as to tire upon the Dutch warships, which.

Roosevelt's Trip to Africa Object of Amusing Skit at Meeting of Famous Washington Club.

Washington. Special: The annual tell dinner of the Gridiron Club, held at the New Wlllard Saturday night, was made noticeable by the presence of a distinguished company of guests. The extended program was devoted entirely to funntaking. The President, the VIco-ProsIdent, Ihe President-elect and Vice President-elect, presidential possibilities or the future, senators and representatives without number, an English lord, diplomats of this ami ocher countries, newspaper men whose names are

Known far and wide, captains of finance and industry, and men of affairs generally were guests of the club and seated about the gridironshaped table. In an unusual degree the souvenir of the dinner, a miniature steam roller, was unique. It drew particular attentlqn to Chairman Krank H. Hitchcock, of the Republican national committee, who was one of the guests. The steam roller was a little bronze affair, with the name "T-A-F-T" on the reverse side. One of the most delightful skits of Ihe evening wns furnished by a roll call after the recent national political battle. The mournful tap of a dram was heard In the ante-room, and there came marching in a dilapidated troop. Their uniforms showed they bad been on the firing line.

the relative merits of the lock and sea level waterways. His opinion that tho cost will bo vastly greater than was originally estimated has also created considerable disquietude among the lawmakers.

Washington, Special: The House has unanimously passed a resolution

to investigate and roport on that portion of tho President's message re

lating to appropriations and secret service men. Both Houses of Congress are enraged In consequence of that part of the message which they construed as casting a reflection on their integrity. In providing for tho maintenance of the secret servico bureau at the last preceding session. It was expressly provided that none of the men thus engaged should be transferred to any other department, by executive order or otherwise, for the performance of duty. That action was taken obviously with tho intention of curbing the propensity of tho President to Institute Investigation of alleged dereliction on his own account, and he evi

dently nccepted It as justification for reprisal. "The chief argument In favor of the

provision," says the President In his offending document, "was that the

congressmen did not themselves wish

to be Investigated by secret service

men. Very little of such Investigation has been done in the past; but It is

true that the work of the secret ser

vice agents was partly responsible for

the indictment and conviction of

senator and a congressman for land

frauds in Oregon. I do not believe that It Is In the public interest to pro

public service." Society Girl to Wed Jap.

The biggest difference in a party

vote is shown In an increase for Bryan or 1.315.211 over the total vote cast In 1901 for Alton B. Parker, the Democratic candidate. Taft received 14.190 votes more than were polled for President Roosevelt in 1904. and Debs ran 4 5,3 OS ahead of his predecessor on tho Socialist ticket.

The heaviest loss Is shown by the Populists, who, with tho same candidates, registered S3.312 votes less this year than In 1904, whon their total was

117.135. New York. S70.070: Pennsylvania. 745.779. and Illinois. G29.932. gave Taft the greatest number of votes among the states, while as to Bryan, the ordor was New York. GC7.4GS; Ohio, 502,721. nnd Illinois 450.S10.

The votes cast for Taft and Bryan were almost identical in number In two states, namely: Maryland and Nevada. In the first mentioned. Taft received 111.253. and Bryan 111.117. and In the other. 10.214 aur 10,055 respectively. HIsgen's vote in New York. 35.S17. and in his own state of Massachusetts, UI.2S7, together formed nearly twothirds of all tho votes ho received In the whole country.
