Statements have been made that gen.

anticipate breach of the peace, will make
arrangements for preserving order.

mission accorded them 10 receive arms

on the Westaeld explosion to-day, Erastus
NJ. Smith, q practical engineer for thirty
five years, and the engineers of the Dun
derbery, Metropolis and others, testified
that they found the WsstAeld boiler to be
of poor iron and cracked nearly through.
The boiler was evidently we'll supplied
with water at the time Of the explosion.
Geo. G. Sewell, United States Engineer,
testified that he had examined the boiler
Of the Westfeld and found that the iron
Of which it was made to be Of worthless
character. The iron had not been welded
thoroughly and in some places the slag
was visible between the layers of metal.
He considered the cause Of the explosion
to be carelessness rather than the "provi-
dence of God.'
