morning about 4 O'Clock, and after listen
ing for some time to very moho.ohoue

caused by excessive smoking. The noise not
ceasing, he arose and took a dose of bromide,
in hope of getting rid of the annoying
sensation. A little later he discovered that
the whistling came from the lake. The

HICKMAN, KY, August s.--Particulars Of
the explosion on the steamer Gold Dust last
night arc hard to obtain. Everybody seems
to be at sea concerning its as each person
has a different story to tell. Captain Shields
of the Anchor Line, who came down here
last night to look after the dead and
wounded, telegraphedp President Seudder
that the captain of the i'll l-fated steamer is
unable TO account for the explosion, He
says the Gold Dust was good boat, and in
ilrstclass condition, and that this was the
first accident of the kind that has occurred
to the company during the 23 years Of its
existence. Engineer Powers, of the steamer
Gold Dust, states that at the time of the ex-
plosion he had just looked at the steam
guage which registered 40 pounds. The
boat was allowed 1G6 pounds. He had Just
tried the water guage The water was flush
with the upper cock. He was in the black
smith shop and intended to blow out the
mud drum. There were two explosions in
quick succession. One boiler remained in
place, one went off and stuck end up
through the cabin floor and the third stopped
in the engine room and lay with one end
on each engine. n @ y
The steamer City of Alton, of the New
Orleans Anchor Line, arrived at Cairo at
nOol toElly. one arrived mere at lS.oU last
night and remained till O'Clock this morn
ing, Captains Able and Shields doing every
thing possible To relieve the suffering as rep.
resentatives of the Anchor Line Company.
Up to the time Of leaving Hickman 13 per
sons had died. Five. lady passengers were
on the Gold Dust, and all Of them were
saved, only one, Mrs. Thornton, having
been slightly scalded. Twelve wounded
persons were left at Hickman, as they could
not be removed at present, All on board
are doing well. Ten of the dead were buried
at Hickman. The bodies of Clerk Ingram
and Barkeeper Travis are on board the
Alton bound for st. Louis. While the
undertaken was bringing the body Of In
grim TO the Alton his team ran away and he
was fatally injured. Captain Frank Liebke
Of st. Louis was slightly scalded, but is
doing well. The citizens OF Hickman
opened their houses and made hospitals Of
the hotels for the sufferers, and merchants
offered clothing for the needy. Nothing
was left undone that would In any way re-
lieye the sufferers. The City of Alton will
go to st. Louis without stopping. There
were 106 persons on the Gold Dust. or

Question Of American Cftizcusf,In

WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE Spanish
American Claims Commission is about to
decide the question raised last spring by
Secretary Blaine, in the case Of Buzzi, rs 10
the naturalization OF American citizens. 1t
will be remembered that Buzsi, who
claimed TO be IN American, presented a
claim against Spain before the Commission,
which was opposed byspain on the ground
that Buzzi was n Spaniarl and not an
American citizen. The Spanish Govern.
mcnt held that Duxzi's naturalization, even
il regular (Which they considered doub;ful),
was voided by the fact that, after procuring
his naturalization papers, he had resided
for more than four years outside OF the
United States. The American Govern
ment denied the right Of Spain to
the position which the Spanish Gov
ernment took. The Commission d.
vided on this, claim, and Count Lewen-
haupt, the Swedish Minister and umpire
of the Commission. decided that Spain
was right, and that Buxzi had forfeited Ills
Claims 10 the rights OF IN American citizen
luutI HIS n.tuTullH1tlOu ny Ill3 long resi-.
dence abroad. Secretary Blaine instructed
the counsel for the United States before
this Commission not to accept this decis.
ion OF the umpire as final, The Secretary
denied that the umpire had any right to
determine the status OF All American citi-
zen. Count Lewenhaupt said that his de-
cision was based upon principles OF com.
mon sense, although be %as well aware
that there were no precedents one way or
the other in International law, aud that he
could not change it. There the matter has
rested. 4 iT.sI, ,n -, ,.,. .f al yttji.-I
1t is understood, while the position Of
Secretary Blaine is still the position OF the
State Department, MS to the powers OF an
umpire in this matter, that Secretary Ere.
linghuysen is willing to admit that the ir.
reeulari,ies which occurred in. the process
Of naturalization were rlaring enough TO
vitiate it. Following out this theory OF
the case, lis probable that some way will be
found by which the State Department can
gracefully abandon Buzzi without abandon
ing Secretary Dlaine's position.
