MADRID, Nov 6.-An eyewitness Of
the terrible disaster at Santander says
that the dynamite on board the Cabo
Machiehaeo was concealed under the
iron which formed portion of her
cargo The fire, the eyewitness says,
Is believed TO have originated in
some packages of skins which were
crammed into the steamers bunk
ers When the fire broke out the
captain Of the transatlantic steamer
Alfonso MI. ordered his steam
launch TO be lowered and manned by
nearly all his officers and crew, whom
he sent to the assistance of the burning
steamer. The steam launch, with the
crew Of the Alfonso XII. on board, ar
rived alongside the Cabo Machichaco
just moment before the latter vessel
blew up, and consequently they were
blown to atoms with the crew of the
dynamite steamer Continuing, he
says;
The explosion was like an earth
quake. A shower Of burning fragments
fell upon the houses, which were al
ready tottering, crushing in the roofs,
while heavy pieces of iron we're hurled
through the walls of houses with all
the violence of cannon shots Houses
were Immediately ignited by the
blazing timbers which fell upon
them, and the people who were not
killed rushed in terror into the streets,

were severely crushed or wounded by

from the scene, and hundreds went
mad with fear, and, abandoning the
city, ran into the fields, shrieking hys

world had come A number of the mos,
frenzied people ran from Santander

1t may seem contradictory to say so,
but it looks as if the financial cyclone
which is sweeping across the country
has done more, or is likely to do more,
for silver and bi-metallism than years Of
Grating and writing upon the subject
could haye accomplished. 1t is a grand
object lesson to all the peorle OF the
United States, including the few gold
bugs among them. Even these now
realize that their position IS untenable
for any great length of time; they'll die
3hasl:l of course, fguratively speaking, but
die they and their cause must. Every
thing in the situation indicates that a
tremendous change has taken place in
public sentiment, east as we'll as west,
and then the extra session of congress
will not adjourn without providing relief,
substantial, solid and lasting from con-
ditlons that are next to unbearable.
It IS fair to assume that within forty or
sixty days after congress has got fairly
to work some test votes on the burning
question of the day will have been taken
that will restore confidence in the ulti-
mate triumph of bi-metallism. If SO,
camps like Butte, Phillpsburg, Granite,
Leadville and many cities where mining
is already Systematically organized, will
at once 'sresume" not only their former
activity, but respond to a new and vigor-
GUS impulse such as they had not felt
for years past, for the average American
does not only like to discount his notes,
when he has chance, but he invariably
discounts the future in all his enver-
prises.
Now is the time for the gold prospect
ors to invade the country between here
the headwaters of Gold Creek, Pioneer
and the headwaters of Rock creek, or to
be more precise, the country surrounding
Pixies Peak. 1t is a gold bearing
country; of that there seems no doubt:
but as to what extent is yet to be dem
onstrated. Parties from Philipsburg and
Granite heading for there should come
through here, leave the main road about
one-half mile above here, take the trail
along the north fork of Boulder Qittle
Gold creek) and follow it to the head
waters OF Gold creek proper. If on
their arrival there they should be fortu-
nate enough to meet MIR. Louis Lindner,
who has stuck to his gold claim now
for over thirteen years, and is, I hope,
in fair way to realize, they should
interview him.
Louis Munson and George Amerman
came through here to-day headed for
