An explosion took place in 4 dynamite
factory at Goldocauo, Spain, causing the
death of sixteen men and three women. The
report Of the explosion was heard distance
of twelve miles.
The scenes witnessed when the families
Of the workmen were assembled on
the spot were heartrending. One woman,
seeking her husband, found only his head,
while another found the corpse of her hus'
band with the head blown of at . great dis
tance from the factory. The explosion was
caused by two small boxes OF nitro Elycerlne.
Two workmen were discharged from the
factory for insubordination. They threatened
revenge, and the superintendent saw them
running away from the back OF the smaller
Of the two buildings in which a large
quantity of nitro glycerine was stored.
A few seconds later there was
a terrific report, both buildings were lifted
about forty feet into the air and then went
to splinters. All the people in the immedi-
ate neighborhood were stunned by the
shock. In Bilboa, five miles away, the
ground trembled as If shaken by an earth
quake, and the people ran into the streets In

ruins are left. Splinters Of the ruined fac
tory covered the ground, but not piece OF

outbuildings were laid fat and not a chimney
was left standing within radius OF mile
