From what has been said by the two
accused it is probable that they will
claim that in the changing of the switch
they had no purpose whatever OF wreck

that they changed it in spirit Of fun,
and thought they had replaced it III

place.
They have heretofore borne good char

and it is not only well but nothing
more than just that the public should

Another Dynamite Explosion in

Another Dynamite Explosion in
London.
LONDON, April 23.-At IL o'clock this
morning an explosion occurred in the
basement of the admiralty building. The
building was badly damaged, and many
persons injured; among them some of the
head officials ofthe department. The ex-
plosion was undoubtedly caused by gun
cotton or dynamite.
Great excitment was caused in the ad-
miralty Office by the explosion. Firemen
and police We're promptly summoned, and
all gates of the admiralty building closed.
A special guard was at once posted, and
no person allowed to enter or depart from
the premises until a thorough examina-
ton can be made.
The cabinet ministers were Immediately
informed by telegraph of the explosion,
and furnished with all the facts in con
nection Herewith ascertainablc at the
time.
The supposed explosive was thrown
over the wall IN the rear OF the admiralty
building, and facing the horse guards pa
rade grounds. The explosion occurred
close to, but not IN Swainson's room, as
stated in earlier reports. The staircase
leading to the board room, which is To-
Gated in the southwest corner of the
building, was demolished. The iron rail-
ing of the staircase was wrenched from its
f~astenings, and the windows within fifty
yards of the spot where the explosion
took place were broken.
Mr.. Edwin Swanson, assistant secreta-
ny, received a severe scalp wound and it is
said other officials were also injured, but
none so seriously.
The room in which the explosion took
place was made a complete wreck.
No arrests have been made as yet.
6 p. M.-The police hold now to the
theory that the explosion was due to per-
senal malice directed at Mr.. Swanson,
who was personally disliked by a large
number of the employees.

Arrested for Violating the Statutes.
NEW YoRK, April %. Capt. John
O'Brien, of the steamer City of Mexico,
was arrested by United States deputy
marshalls this afternoon on a charge of
violating section 5.2s3 of the statutes, by
supplying arms and munitions of war to
insurgents of a country at peace with this
government. The vessel was also
seized.
She was chartered in March last to
carry lumber to Boca Ditorro, in the
United States of Columbia, and her
manifest called for lumber, but in reality
she carried, it is charged, firearms. AT
Saborinlla, a port held by rebels, she
took aboard $50 insurgents and proceeded
to Rio Hotchos. Here the captain of the
port, taking the City of Mexico to be an
American vessel, put out a token and
was captured. together with his crew. At
Santa Morta, it is said. a portion of the
cargo was discharged. The first mate of
the steamer was Capt. Mccarthy, who
figured on the Mary n. Hogan in her fill
clustering trip during the Cuban insurrec-
ton. O'Brien will be arranged to-mor-
