quickly, and was soon dashing down

road, the coach and smoker, which
were ahead, broke the coupling and
separated from the rest of the train

and the mail, express and baggage

SWALLOWED BY THE SEA.
Nearly Four Hundred Human
Beings Go Down With the
Cfmhria

LONDON, Jan. 21.-4:3O p. NJ
Details of the Cimbria disaster now
, being received show that the loss OF
life must have been fearful.
The Cimbria left Hamburg on
Thursday with three hundred and
eighty passengers, and a crew num-
bering one hundred and ten. She
ran aground before leaving the
Elbe, but got off with the dood tide
with the assistance of the Hansa
without having sustained damage
and she put to sea at 2:30 o clock in
the afternoon. On Friday morning
she came into collision during a
thick fog off Borkum with the
steamer Sultan. The Cimbria sank
in n short time.
Besides the thirty-nine survi-
vors landed at CuKhaven and the
seventeen at the Weser Lighthouse,
another vessel hsE landed eleven,
but their names have not vet been
ascertained. The number of lives
lost is estimated at fully three hun
dred. The passengers were mostly
emigrants from East Prussia. Among
them were six American Indians,
who had been on exhibition in Ber-
lin for some time. Their names
were Red Jacket, Little Cheyenne,
Crow Paint, Black Bird, Chippeway
and Sunshine. &c..
A dispatch from Berlin to the
Times, dated this morning, says:
"The fate ofthe remainder of the
passengers and crew has not VET
been aseertained." ---.-ft - .
The Hamburg American com
pany have sent out a list of $40
names of missing passengers of the
Cimbria. Most Of these were in the
steerage, many whole families be-
ing among them.
HAMBURG, Jan. 21.-A survivor
from the Cimbria makes the follow
ing statement: "The weather was
clear up to 1:l5 o'clock, but a fog
then set in which continued and in
creased in density. The engines of
the Cimbria were kept at full speed
until l:30 o'clock, then at halfspeed
until two o'clock, after which they
were kept at slow speed. About
ten minutes past two o'clock the
whistle of another steamer was
heard and the engines of the CHM
bria were stopped instantly. The
Sultan's green light was, owing to
the fog, not observed until she was
only $50 feet off from the Cimbria
The latter was struck abaft the first
collision bulk head on the port side,
and she heeled over TO starboard
and speedily sank" The Theta

A.TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Twenty-One Dead Bodies Al
a ready Recovered.

/ SAN FRANCISCO, January %
Shortly after 4p. m, yesterday the
city was shaken by a heavy explos-
ion. Four others followed at inter-
walls of four seconds, and the dense
columns of smoke rising across the
bay was sufficient evidence of an
other added to the numerous pow
der works disasters THAT have occur
red in the vicinity. A brief tele-
gram says a giant powder establish
ment, near West Point station, four
miles north of Oakland, was blown
up and a number of persons killed.
The total loss by reason OF the ex-
plosion will reach not less than
100000. 1t is impossible to as
certain the exact loss of life, but it
Is estimated it will be between thir-
ty and forty. The first explosion
occurred about four o'clock, in the
packing house in which about 200
pounds were stored. tits not known
whether any one was killed by the
first explosion or not. AS soon as
the packing house exploded, a num-
ber of Cinnamon employed in the
other department fed for their lives
and had reached the open space
when the mixing house exploded.
killing the most of them in their
tracks. In about minute one of
the smaller houses exploded, follow
ed Immediately by the fourth ex-
plosion which doubtless killed the
surviving employees. There are
some thirty or forty houses on the
point, occupied by employees at the
powder and acid works, and most of
the windows are shattered, the doors
and sides in many cases dashed in
by force of the conclusion. After
each explosion the wood work of the
buildings caught fire and burned
steadily for several hours. The eff
forts to prevent flames from reach
ing the main magazine, containing
an immense quantity of powder,
was happily successful.
A dispatch from Oakland says the
scene at the Giant powder works
this morning was one of devastation
and death. In the semi i-circular ex-
cavation, where the packing houses
are located, the ground is covered
with debris and timber. Huge
rocks thrown by the violence Of the
series of explosions are on all sides.
Lying on the ground are the mangl-
ed bodies of twenty-one Cinnamon.
One ChinanRn died last night in
the temporary hospital. So far as
known at noon, one white man and
twenty-one Cinnamon were killed.
The white man killed-is Ferdinand
Kempt, the assistant superintendent.
He could have saved himself, but
to try and save the works.
When the first explosion occurred
he ran to the nitroglycerine house
TO turn on water to eXtinguish the
fire, but was killed by the explosion
of this house. 1t is thought that
eight or ten bodies are in the ruins.
Oscar Forgowsy, the only white
man injured, will probably recover.
Thirteen wounded Cinnamon are
lying in the quarters of the Chinese.
The greater number of these will
recover.
The cause Of the explosion re-
mains mystery, and whether the
powder in every one of the packing
houses exploded, cannot be told.
They are all caved in and filled with
debris. The magazines are unin
jured and danger of further explos-
ions is deemed at an end.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-About
one O'Clock this morning from eight
to twelve mounted and masked men
rode up to Martello station on the
Central Pacific road, one hundred

of what valuables they had on their
