A Terrific Explosion.

HAVANA, April 29.-Early this
afternoon, W hile the city was shaken
by terrible conclusions, the streets
Immediately became filled with
frightened people, who believed the
city had been visited by an earth
quake. 1t soon became known, how
ever. that the powder magazine at
San Antonio, on the opposite side of
the bay, had exploded. Many houses
in Havana suffered severely.
LATER.-The first explosion oc-
CURED in the magazine of San Jose,
not San Antonio, and the adjacent
arsenal, in which was stored a large
lumber of grenades and shells. The
force of the explosion took the direc-
tion of the gas works. and all the gas
holders of the Havana Gas Light
company, and all but one of the old
gas company, were broken. The sec
ond shock was heavier than the first,
and was caused by the explosion of
gas. 1t is impossible yet to say how
many persons are killed or wound
ed. Several bodies are already
found, and it is known there were in
the magazine detachment of twenty
soldiers and artillery officers who were
occupied several days in removing the
powder. The military hospital, the
San Brosia arsenal, and other build
ings in the neighborhood suffered
most damage. Great damage is done
generally in Havana. Balconies, win
dows and shutters fell to the ground
in almost every street. Within the
Gus t. ,m house and the hospital of San
Lozararo there is great loss and
much injury and suffering.

A Wife Deserts Her Husband, and n

Special Telegram to The Statesman.
GATEsvILLE, April 80. = Several
years ago Mrs. Rancier, of Bolton, left
her husband and joined the Sanctilica-
tion party, taking their children, two
beautiful little girls. Subsequently
Mr.. Rancier procured a divorce, mar
ried very beautiful girl, came to
Gatesville, engaging in the jewelry
business. In the course of time he
succeeded in getting the youngest girl
away from his former wife, bringing
her here last week. Rancier went TO
Bolton again and succeeded in getting
the other girl away from the Sanctifi-
cation mother. This was more than
the mother could bear, and yesterday
came to Gatesville and procured a
position as cook of hotel, and awaits
an opportunity to procure her chill
dren. The affair has created a pro-
found sensation here. The public
sympathy is with Mr.. Rancier and
his charming young wife.
We have had an inundation here
from the rain last night.
