Bottom Drops Out of Converter, Fill ing Pit With Molten Metal and Poisonous Fumes. PITTSBURG, Jan. 1.

STEPHEN DOVIAH. 35 years old, Braddock. Six of the injured were Americans and the others Slavs. All were removed to a hospital in this city, where it was found their Injuries were not serious. No state ment of the cause of the explosion has been Issued, but old converter mill men say the cause could hardly be other than that some of the molten metal sifted through the soapstone lining of the con verter and came in contact with the steel sheathing which perhaps was damp. When the explosion occurred the bottom of the converter dropped out. throwing 15 tons of molten " metal into the pit, where 15 men were working with ladles. .There was no explosion when the hot mass of steel struck the bottom of the pit. but instead burning gas was sent up. which burned the men in the pit. The two men who were killed had been work ing under the converter and their bodies were terribly mangled. The sheet iron roof was blown off the converting mill and caused two of the walls to collapse, besides breaking all of the windows in the building in that vi cinity and partially destroying the engine house and warehouse near the converting mill.

Guatemala Authorities Fear Compli cations if They Interfere in Mexi can Representative's Action. GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala, Jan. 1. The American Charge d'Affaires, Will iam F. Sands,, has returned here from Ocos, whither he went personally to in vestigate an alleged attack on the American Consul there by the Mexican Consul. It is said the American Consul fears a further attack and declares that the Guatemalan authorities have refused to protect him. alleging that Guatemala fears Mexico may misconstrue any step taken against Mexican citizens. The Mexican Minister to Guatemala, Senor Gamboa, it is said, declares that if the United States makes demands of Guatemala they will serve as an excuse for a serious attack upon the Mexicans residing at Ocos and cause further com plications. Casea are now pending for the redress of Mexicans who are alleged to have been ill-treated by Guatemalan officials and whose punishment Mexico lias demanded. The activity displayed by Mr. Sands has resulted in Judge San Marca'a being sent to Ocos to' Institute a Judicial in quiry into affairs there, and it is be lieved this will be greatly to the benefit of Americans.

General Booth, of the Salvation Army, reviewing the work of the anti-suicide bureaus established last year in various cities of the world, says 1126 men and 90 women sought the assistance of the Iondon bureau to save them from self-destruction, while at least an equal number applied at the bureaus in other cities. General Booth thinks It safe to say that 75 per cent of the ap plicants have been diverted from contem plated suicide and helped to surmount their difficulties. Clergy, naval and military officers, doc tors, newspapermen and bankers were among those saved from committtihg sui cide. General Booth considers that the result more than justifies the institution of the bureaus, which henceforth will have a permanent place In the operations of the Salvation Army.
