NEW YORK, Doc 1.-THE corvette Galena
lies with slips on her hnwsers at the Cob
dock at the Brooklyn navy yard, all her
boats are on thoir davits and she is ready for

Yesterday afternoon Commander Summer
received his sailing orders from Washington,

The opinion Is held by many in naval
circles that by tho limo the expedition

steamer has been burned. Il is therefore
quito likely that the sealed orders sent 20 Ad-
miral Luce rotate 20 this contingency. II the
vessel has been scuttled the admiral has in
structions to sottle the question In accord

TORN BY DYNAMITE.
Narrow Escape from a Terri
BILE Disaster.
mURDEROUs FIENDs IN CHICAGO

An Almost Successful Attempt TO Blow
Up Big Distiiiery- the plan Car
ried II Is Thought a Score of Buildings
Would Have Been Wrecked.
CHICAGO, Dec lt-rhere was tremen-
dous explosion Of dynamite yesterday morn
ing at Shufeldt a Co. 's distillery at Haw-
thorno q Lnrabeo streets, in the northern
portion Of the city. A desperate attempt
was made to destroy the buildings, and it
was partly successful. II is a question
whether the explosion was the work of
Anarchists or Of some one who had "a griev-
ance against the distillery people.
The neighborhOod was shaken by the ex-
plosion, and people living in the vicinity
wore terribly alarmed Laboring men hur-
ried into the streets and stood about with
hanched checks
An Investigation brought out the fact that
the explosion had occurred Ia a store house
for high wines at the distillery. There WAS
a great jagged hole Ia the roof; barrels OF
high wines had been knocked about pro-
miscuously, while the floor was strewn with
debria Hoops wore burst off Of many casks
and tho heads OF some were driven in.
Some person, who had probably stood on
the high sidewalk ON tho Hawthorne street
front OF the distillery, had thrown upon the
low roof OF the store house a package OF
dynamite sticks, tied together and attached
90 fuse which had been ignited. These
sticks consisted Of compressed dynamite.
wrappcd IN pastoboard and provided with
Illuminating eaps The combination had ex-
ploded, and Il was only owing to a peculiar
chance tliat tho entire structure as well as
tho surrounding buildings, was not Instantly
leveled
Tho aim of the man or men who COM
mitted the deed was evidently to hit the sky
light on the roof, and the mark was miss a

aro eight large tubs or vats OF highly iifiam-
mable liquor Had tho dynamite sticks ak
ploded on the skylght the liquor would have
been gnited, and a terrible explosion would
have resulted-an explosion, Capt Schaack
thinks, Of sufficient violence TO have torn
down score OF buildings As IL was, the
damage was comparatively small
Soon after the explosion a package wrapped
IN paper was discovered lying in the street.
II contained several sticks Of dynamite and
six Illuminating caps fuse connected with
tho package showed evidence Of having been
lighted, but had gone out prematureiy-
Those articles are now in the possession OF
the police, who arc at work on the case.
/ On the roof about fifteen feet from the
1 spot whore the first explosion occurred, was
found another bundle of dynamite sticks
