The steamer Falmouth which burned Tues.

were nearly completed. About a dozen OF
the officers and crew slept on board.
The body of GILES, fireman, of St. John,

Jas. Murphy, fireman, of st. John. is miss

men were sleeping in the fireman's room be-
low. Frank Pike and James Olson, firemen,
were in the same room. The fire burned
fiercely, and the steamers City of Richmond
and Lewiston hauled into the stream to es-
cape.
The cause of the fire is unknown. The
steamer at IL O'Clock Tuesday was still
burning, and had been hauled across to the
Elizabeth Flats. The fire boat was at work
on the steamer, but it looked as if she would
be a total loss.
The following is the insurance: Liver
pool. London and Globe, $4,000; Etna of
Hartford, $1,000; Springfield, $500; Insur-
ance Company of North America, $4,000

TWO EXPLOSIONS
In Havapa-Great Damage to Property
and Some Loss of Life.

HAVANA, April %
There were two explosions here today.
The first occurred in a powder magazine of
San Jose, adjacent to the arsenal in which
we're stored large number of grensdes and
shells. The force of the explosion took the
direction of the gas works, and all the gas
holders of the Havana Gaslight Co. and all
but one of the Old Gas Co. were broken.
The second explosion. which was heavier,
was caused by an explosion of gas. 1t Is
impossible to say how many persons were
killed or wounded. Several have already
been found. 1t is known that there were in
the magazine detachment of 90 soldiers ard
an artillery officer who had been occupied
for several days in removing powder.
The military hospital, San Ambrose arse
nal and other buildings in the neighborhood
sustained the most damage. In Havana
windows and shutters fell to the ground in
almost every street within the custom house
walls
