ing our citizens were startled by heavy
but distant explosion, and very percept-
ible shaking up of the ground. The people
living up the canyon and nearer the coast
say it was accompanied by a heavy
rumbling subterranean noise of sufficient
intensity to occasion great alarm-in some
instances causing families to suddenly va
cate their dwellings through fear of an ap.
preaching earthquake. In Santa Rita and
other neigboring localities the same effects
were observed. The explosion, from the
testimony of those who were in position to
locate it the most accurately, would seem
TO have occurred on the water near the
coast, somewhere in the direction of Point
Arguello. 1t formed the topic during the
day of conversation among our people, and
many theories were advanced as to its
probable consolidating at the Govern
ment works on Point Conception the ex-
plosion of q steamer the firing of heavy
piece of ordnance By passing vessel, and
the descent of an aerolite being among
them. Mr.. Martin, who heard the noise at
Pine Grove, describes it as sounding like
the plunging of large red hot mass into
understanding it almost to certainty as
the explosion of an aerolite in the ocean,
