a New York letter, Of Tuesday, says: "An In

crowd dpfRectators., The oaisson Is massive
structure OF heavy yellow pine timsers each tatr-
teoa inches, 4p, diameter. 1t Is fifteen feet in
-depth ono hundred and sixty eight feet long, and
ono hundredh and 1two feet wide. The bottom
tlnbers are laid solldly together. There is large
chamber below, and an engine on the caisson was

-Blsss ON Rock, amost dangerous obstruction
In San E-anciseo harbor, Ia supposed to have been
blown tnso fragments. Tventy-three IONS OF
povder we're used for this most novel undertak-
ing. End when it was touched on, the water, ap.
,parently 100 feet in diameter, was thrown to the
height Of about 100 feet, the centre being filed
with smoke and stQnes. Between $4,000 and 10000
people witnessed the explosion, which took place
On the a3d ult. The shock was scarcely per-
ceptihlsciS the city proper, only deep thua
accompanying the blast. The. means adopted
for t6v removal Ct the obstructlons are said
to be entirely new in submarine blasting.
Ine rock was six feet below the surface
at low tide, and situated where the water rolled
over 1t in towerfulswens and with great force.
