FATAL EXPLOSION.
A Number Of People Killed on
California Ferry Boat.

A disastrous explosion occurred at South
Vallejo, CAL, on the ferry steamer Julia, ply
ing between South Vallejo and Vallejo Sta
tion The steamer was about to leave her
moorings a few minutes after o'clock,
and had about seventy persons on
board, many of whom were going
across the strait to work in the lumber yards
on the other side Just as the deck hands
were hauling in the lines there was loud e1-
plosion and sheet of flame shot into the air.
Those who were on deck were hurled over
board, and killed outright by being
struck by pieces Of the debris, which
was sent flying in all directions.
The names of nearly half the passengers who
were on the steamer at the time of the eIplo-
sion are not known. which makes it impossi-
bic to tell how many sunk with the wreck,
but at least fifteen who are known TO nave
been on tho steamer are still missing: Cap
tain Gedge of the Julia was severely injured,
as was also Charles Heath, the pilot Twelve
others were also very severely injured.
Soon after theexplosion occurred the steamer
had burned to the waters edge, and sunk 10
tho bottom with great number OF the VIC
tins buried under the debris in the cabin.
1t is believed that between thirty and forty
lives were lost. Up to late hour Twelve
bodies had been recovered, two OF which
had been burned beyond recognition: Inc

BUTCHERED And BURNED.
Eight COlOred Men Meet q H0r.
rible Death.
The Sanguinary Work Of Texas
Desperadoes.

One Of the bloodiest crimes that ever dark
ened the pages of the history Of Texas has
been enacted at Spanish Camp, asmall settle
ment on the Colorado River, in Wharton coun-
ty, about sixty five miles southeast of Houston.
The Spanish Camp neighborhood is rich in
farming lands, but inhabited mostly by
negroes and MeXcans, the proportion OF
whites being very small The place lies about
midway between the Victoria division OF the
Southern Pacific road and San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass road, and as consequence Is
somewhat remote from telegraph stations. The
nearest point is Wharton, the county seat,
about fifteen miles away. The first intima-
tion received Of the tragedy was through,
Frank Wilson, bright young colored
man who resides in Houston, and
who has, until recently, had charge
of a school a few miles from the
scene Of the frightful crime. According to
Wilson the prologue Of the bloody drama
was probably enacted in the office Of a Justice
of the Peace in Wharton. The rich and pro-
ductive land occupied by seven or eight male
negroes was in litigation. The other
parties to the suit were white men, who
wished to oust the colored people and gain
possession Of the best portion OF Spanish
Camp. The suit was gained by the colored
defendants, and they were told that they
might 90 and enjoy their possessions. Their
counsel informed them that no further bar
rier existed to prevent them from going to
their homes and remaining there. Accord.
ingly they mounted their horses and started
for the Spanish Camp. That evening the
majority of the little cavalcade saw the sun
set for the last time.
1t was feared in Wharton that trouble
would ensue between the litigants in the law
suit, but the actual shedding of blood was not
contemplated. A dozen or more unknown
men crept up to the double cabin about mid
night and surrounded the rude dwelling with
piles of wood, over which kerosene oil had
been literally poured, The inmates Of the
cabin were sleeping soundly when they were
aroused by the roar of flames and found
themselves surrounded by a circle Of fire.
Dazed and hardly knowing what theywere do
ing, they broke through the doorway and win
dows when the crack of Winchesters and the
heavy reports of shotguns mingled with the
noise of the flames. Five Of the terror
stricken negroes fell dead, riddled with bull
lets.
A sixth escaped in the bush sorely wounded
and two boys too frightened to DO anything,
remained in the cabin and were roasted to
death. The wounded man managed to get a
horse and was making off toward Wharton
when he was fired upon. He reached Whar-
ton on foot, his horse having fallen from bull
let wounds. He informed Sheriff Jones Of the
tragedy. The Sheriff and a posse at
once started out. The wounded negro was
taken in charge by friends and remains
hidden. No other eyewitness can be found
to tell further particulars. Nothing remains
but the charred logs of the cabin and the
bones of the two boys The five slain men
were buried by the sheriff's posse.

No returns were received from Oregon and
Arkansas, and their forces are not included
in these figures. To the organized forces OF
the States the Territories add 64,GS3 men and
the District of Columbia l,41S. The grand
aggregate of the organized militia strength
OF the whole country is, therefore, l0o, ,o57.
New Mexico heads the Territories in the
number of militiamen, its strength being
1876, of whom l,40i are cavalrrymen.
Dakota follows, with LOLA, all but 40 of whom
are infantrymen. Washington has 9l3,
Montana SIS, and Arizona So, There are no
returns from Idaho, Utah or Wyoming. In
cluded in the total of l00,SH are SO,G'3
infantrymen, 5G91 artillerymen, and
1856 cavalrymen. They are commanded by
l, ,297 commissioned officers. The returns
from Alabama, Indiana. Kentucky and Mis-
sissippi give only the totals for all arms, ag-
gregating Z, 46l. How many of these are in
fantrymen, cavalrymen, or artillerymen Is
not known.
New York also leads all the States in the
number of able bodied men available for mil
itary duty not in the organized militia An
emergency call in that State would bring out
ESQ., 900 men Pennsylvania stands second in
this respect, as it does in the ORGANIZED
militia, but as will be seen by the following
table, the relative standing of the States as
to organized and unorganized strength varies
