NEW York, Sept. Do.
1t is. now definitely arranged TINT
the Hci! Gate explosion will occui
on Sunday. Tho amount Of nitro
glyccrinc which will then be in nIocc
is At 900 pounds. General Newton
i'll charge of the affair has sont notes
to tho newspapers containing Tho fol-
lowing: The explosion at Hell Cats
is liked for unlny ut 1850 y. M
sheer necessity has compelled tho
appointment of this day, which in
many other respects is Objectionable.
Guard boats will bc stationed across
East river Mt the head of Blackwclls
Island; Mt the southeast point of
Wards Island, and ohliduely from
Wards Island to New York. The
pier line will thus be incloscd, hay.
lug radius of about six hundred
yards, measured from Hallett's Point,
which will DC kept clear of boats nj
and near the time of tho explosion.
Vessels should give Iallelts Point
wide berth, rs tho surface Of tho
reef may in pointB be elevated above
the present level. AS soon rs possi-
bic after tho explosion, the reef will
be marked outwith buoys. Spectators
are warned not Ia come 10 Astoria on
tho day named, rs there are no points
from which the explosion can be
seen; while Gordon of police and
regular soldiers will keep spectators
back to II considerable distance from
Hallctts Point. Points Of view will
be from tho New York shore, and
from Wards Island. 4 panic has
been created TO some extent by per-
SONS who have no knowledge Of tho
matter, except that derived from the
explosion Of powder or other explo-
sivcs i'll tho open mir. Explosives
imbedtled i'll rock in small charges
and thoroughly tampcd, will have an
action on surroundings, but in this
case there will be no coInmoiion of
air, and the underground effect will
he sufficient only TO jar buildings,
without upturning or cracking tho
walls. Pcrsons,at least i'll tho neigh
borhood, will do well To have their
windows and doors open, AMI 70 look
cut for their ceiling. The best thing
to be done will bu TO stand outside
until the explosion Is over. Tho
