prisoner was led in by the jailor
the spectators jumped to their feet
The action terrified Prendergast, and
with blanched face he crouched close to

and had to be assisted to his seat.
When the Indictment was read, Prem

"Have you an attorney?" asked the
Judge
''No; but I expect to get one," re-

WRECKED BY DYNAMITE.
A Spanish City Blown Up by a Terrific tx
ploslon of Giant Powder.

Dl0SIUH VI OldnO ! oHuoi'
MADRID. Nov. AT the city OF SAINT
Ander, capital of province OF that name
and situated little over 200 miles from
this city, terrific explosion oil dyha-
mite occurred last night which killed
the governor Of the province ana
large number Of people including sew
eral of the leading citizens and when
also set fire to the city and caused I'M
mense damage on all sides.
The steamship Volo, British, OF $40
tons, which reached SAINT Ander from
Cardiff, caught fire yesterday evening.
The officials of the city seem TO nave
been unaware that the Nolo was loaded
with dynamite, for they sent all the lire
department to the scene, the governor
of the province, the CHIEF munlclpal
officers and many OF the Leading GU
zens of the town experimenting the ef-
forts to subdue the fire on board the
Volo.
Suddenly there were cries OF alarm
from those working about the Nolo ana
the alarming news spread with rapldlty
that the ship was loaded with dyna-
| mite and that the flames were rapidly
approaching the terrible cargo. Before
| the crowd had time to rush backward
there was dull roar followed by q fear
| fri burst of flame and a deafenlng eX-
plosion which blew the quay into 1rag-
ments, set fire to number of adjacent
houses and which smashed the windows
| in every house for miles around.
The most alarming reports were CIR
culated as to the loss of life caused by
! the explosion. Some OF them had 1T
that hundreds of lives were lost and
others claimed that only fifty were
| killed by the force OF the explosion.
The explosion in any case shook the
whole city and did an enormous amount
of damage Many citizens were killed
including several representatives of
the municipal and provincial gov
eminent who were watching the
efforts of the tiremen and others to ex-
tinguish the fire. Among the prominent
people believed to have been blown to
atoms by the explosion is the governor
of the province who was last seen III
the front rank of these fighting the fire.
Many others, who were upon the Wari a
moment before the dynamite blew the
ship and warf into spllnters, are miss
| ing.
The inhabitants were SO daZed by the
explosion and by the rapid spread of
the flames from house to house that for
long time afterwards they appeared to
have been utterly unable to make any
attempt to check further spread of the
| fire, which as thee dispatches
were sent from the village was
still eating house after house
and threatening the destruction
of the entire city. All towns in the
neighborhood of SAINT Amber have sent
| their fire engines to the scene and Il
strong and combined effort is being
made to save the property.
The town Of SAINT Amber is situated on
a headland and has large port in the
Bay of Biscay; it is the terminus OF u
