 DENYING, N. NJ. April 23-Two regi
 nents of cavalry met and exchange,

 Arizona and the 3d to Texas. For sey
 eral days the town has had surfeit O
 soldiers, who seemed to make the triI
 an excuse for 6 general debauch. Las
 night a party of drunken soldiers en
 tered a saloon, and while one reached over the bar and seized the bartender holding his head down on the counter the balance helped themselves to liquor On being released, he used bottles and beer glasses with telling effect on his ss- sailants. One shot was fired from a 44-calibrs pistol, the ball striking sol dier square in the forehead, but glanced upwards and went out through the roof of the saloon, leaving only a scar an inch long on the soldiers forehead.

 Dynamite In London
 LONDON, April 23.-At II 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 head officials of the department. The explosion was undoubtedly caused by gun cotton or dynamite. Great eJ- citemsnt was caused in ;the Admiralty office by the explosion. Firemen and the police were promptly summoned and all gates of the Admiralty building were closed. A special guard was at once posted, and no person al- lowed to enter or depart from the prem ises until thorough examination could bs made. It is supposed the explosion was caused by a premature discharge of proiectile which had been sent to the admiralty for examination. The ex- plosion badly damaged the room Tn which it occurred and set 1t on fire. The officials and fremen soon extingu- ished the flames. The cabinet ministers were immediately informed by telegraph of the explosion and furnished all facts | in connection herewith ascertainable | at the time. At first it was reported | the explosion was caused by dynamite, and was the outcome of a plot matched | up by dynamiters or nihilists for the | purpose of hsmpering the war prepara- ! tlon5 or the government. One inspec- | tor, after a cursorY examination, express | ed doubt as to whether the explosion | was caused by gas, gun powder or dyns- | mite: The explosion occurred Tn the department. Mir. Edwin. | Swanson, assistant secretary, received | a severe scalp wound, and it IS said | other officials were injured, but none so | seriously. It is now believed the explo- | sion was not accidental, but was caused | by dynamite. It is regarded as certain | that either gun cotton or dynamite was | used. The room in which the explosion | took place was made complete wreck; | the adjacent corridors were very much | while all the windows front | the Horse Guards parade were blown out. No arrests have been made up to this hour. It is supposed the explosive was thrown over the wall in the rear of the Ad- miralty building and facing the horse guards parade. The explosion occurred close, but not in Svainson's room, as stated in an earlier report. The stair case leading to the board room, which is located in the southwest corner of the building, wss demolished. The iron rail ing of the staircase was wrenched from its fastenings, and windows within fifty yards of the spot where the explosion took place were broken. Two men were noticed by several persons reconnoiter- ing yesterday, snd this morning the same men were seen to enter the garden in front of Swainson's house from the di- rection of the horse guards parade grounds. One of them carried tn can, which was placed in recess of the passageway leading to the offices. The movements of the two men attracted but httle attention at the time, owing to the fact that several surveyors and a number of vorkmen had recently been engaged in measuring the distance on the grounds, and those who saw the two men believed them to be employees of the government engaged in the same work. Two officials of the government took such notice of the men that they claim they can identify them even if placed in 0 crowd of other men.
