CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The tug Admiral, OF
the Union Towing Company, was skivered
to atoms by the bursting of her boiler last
evening, and all the crew, numbering three
men. were killed. The explosion occurred
in the Mason slip, a small stream of water
that extends north of the south branch near
the corner of Morgan and Twenty-second

ing her from the National elevator, near the
Halstcd-street bridge, to a dock in the Ma

in obedience to a signal from Captain An
drew Green, reversed the .engine, the III
teution being to back the tug and attach
a rope to the stern of the steam-barga.
Just as the tow-line was cast fol
this maneuver the explosion took place.
Huge clouds of steam enveloped the tug.
followed instantly by a laundering report,
the noise of which was heard fully a mile
distant. Then splintcrs and large pieces Of
the tug were seen whirling into the air.
The force of the explosion threw the heavy
mass of iron that composed the boiler five
hundred feet away. The airwas thick with
smoke and flying debris, and the
water in the slip was greatly stirred,
the waves leaping over the frame.

either side of the dock. The boiler and
other parts of the boat, with portions of the
wrecked machinery attached, were hurled
through dense volumes of steam and smoke
over a pile of lumber sixty feet high. Those
near the scene say the shock was tremen-
dous. Lumber piles were demolished and
in every direction for a distance of two
squares piles Of shingles II laths were
overturned. In Whitbeck's lumber yard

then he was lost in the steam and smoke.
He was hurled headforemost against

He was dashed against the brick wall with
such violence that his skull was flattened in

MADRID, Dec. 3O-There were renewed
shocks of earthquake in portions Of Anda-
lusia yesterday. The terror of the people
is so great that the towns are almost de.
serted, the population being encampcd
in the open fields. The greatest
disaster reported yesterday was the partial
destruction of Frigiliana, a town of
three thousand inhabitants. Hundreds of
persons persisted, being suddenly enguIfed.
1t is now estimated that the number of
persons killed outright or who have died
from injuries received by the demolition
OF buildings, dwellings, etc, consequent on
the recent earthquake shocks, will reach
LOO. Returns from distant towns and
cities are not yet all in. Several slight re.
current shocks have tended to intensity and
prolong the panic existing among the people,
whose fears of summday and wholesale eX-
termination have driven them to the verge
of insanity. Great suffering prevails in
many towns, which is greatly increased by
the Generalization existing among the Off.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-An earthquake was
felt in Wales yesterday. Many houses were
injured.
VIENNA, Dec. 3O.-A severe earthquake
shock was experienced in the province of
Carinthia yesterday. Considerable damage
was done to many buildings.
Several persons are known to have been
killed, While rumor has it that the fatality
was very large. Buildings We're rocked
and many damaged. \ panic among the
populace IS the result, and many persons
refuse TO re-enter their dwellings.
Thousands of persons are on the street and
in open spaces, fearing IA repetition Of the
shock. The panic was heightened by the
reports OF the recent upheavals in Spain,
wherein nearly a thousand persons are said
to have persisted and uncstimated damage
done to property.
