Lynohing Narrowly Avoided as a Re-
suit of the Explosion.

Su4l OF the E&pLC5lOns
Santander. March 22.-The greatest ex-
citement prevails throughout the city of
Santander to-day, and only the presence
Of strong force of troops patroling the
streets and stationed at every convenient
point prevents great disorder and blood
shed The explosion Of last night
was the result of careleSsness
or accident in removing what remained of
the cargo of dynamite in the submerged
hulk Of the Spanish steamer SabO Machi-
chaco, which blew up on Nov. 3 last.
The presence of the dynamite in the hulk
at the bottom of the harbOr alongside the
Wharves, Was considered dangerous and
the authorities employed a force of men
to remove it.
THE EXPLOSION.
The divers were at work at 9 o'clock
last night, by the aid of an electric light,
when, in some manner unknown, a guam
tty of the dynamite exploded and the
two principal divers and three wOrkmen,
who were managing the air pumps,
were killed and seven men who
were assisting in the work ashore, were
dangerously injured. in addition mum
Der of others were slightly injured, and
many more people who were about the
scene Of the explosion are reported miss
ing, and are believed to have lost their
lives. The report caused a panic in the
town and a riot later.
OFFICIALS IN DANGER.
When it became known what the mat
ter was, a mob Of furious people sur
rounded the houses occupied by the civil
governor and by the engineer who had
supervision of the work Of removing
the dynamite from the sunken ship
They barricaded their houses and de
Tended themselves until police and troops
dispersed the mob.
An eye witness of the explosion says
that an immense column Of mud, water,
and timber shot up into the air, and that
this was followed by a tremendous re
port, which shook the whole neighbor-
hood.
The burial to-day of the victims of the
accident was the occasion Of another pop
lar outbreak, that taxed the authorities
to their utmost to repress.

Gladstone Said to Have Left Rose
berY 3 Aeritage OF Woe.


Edinburgh March 22-Joseph Cham
berlain, the liberal unionist leader in the
House Of Commons, addressed a crowded
unionist meeting here tonight. In
the course of his remarks Mr.
Chamberlain said that MIR, Glad
stone had left his successor a heri-
tage of woe. Lord Rosebery's recent
speech delivered in Edinburgh, Mr.. Cham
berlain added, did not seriously damage
what he had said in the House OF Lords,
and his remarks fully justified the action
of the unionists and the peers Lord
Rosebery's frankness on the question of
the dis-establishmont of the church in
Scotland approaches the verge of Gym
icism, and justified Voltairc, who had
said that the British had only enough re-
lgion to serve their political purposes.
Mr. Chamberlain said that he concurred
with Timothy Healy in the belief that the
House Of Commons ought to be dissolved.

HOKE SMITH FOR TURNER.
The Secretary TO Back the South
GeOTgian for Senator.

The Administration at Washington
Believed to Favor His Election-Ths
Congressman Defended Against the
Attacks Made on Him on Account
of the Thomasville Conference.-The
Secretary Believed to Be a Little
Out With Speaker Crisp.
Atlanta, Ga, March 22-The follow
ing in the Washington correspondence Of
the Evening Journal to-day has caused q
good deal of remark in political circles
ut continues to cause comment here that
the papers in Judge Crisp's district, and
the agencies in Washington that are
peculiarly favorable to him, are trying in
every way TO throw obliquity upon thu
patriotic South Georgians, who desire to
see their gifted son, Judge Turner, ele-
vated to the Senate. They have not
stopped at this, but even go so far as to
attack Judge Turner on the ground that
he is running for two offices.
ABSURD ON ITS FACE.
"This is absurd on its face The con-
vention of his friends, which was held
practically without his knowledge, de-
mandcd that he be renominated for con-
gress in any event when they announced
him as worthy TO represent the state in
the Senate. So far as Mr. Turner is per-
soually concerned he is not running for
either place, He will be unanimously re-
nominated and elected to congress with
out a stir on his part. So far as tho
Senate is concerned, he has only stated
that if tho people Of the state desired to
elevate him TO the higher body he would
esteem it great honor. His friends
have put him in both races. This they
certainly had right to do without their
motives being questioned
CRISP IN THREE RACES.
"Certainly not by the friends Of Judge
Crisp for the charge could he made
against him with equal truth that he is
in three races II is known that Crisp
desires reelection TO the House. II is
also known that his friends here are al
ready laying pipes 10 re-elect him speaker
IL the democrats should control the next
House. If the democrats lose the next
House he will be brought forward as an
active candidate to succeed Senator Col
quitt. The effort of the speakers over
Jealous friends, therefore, it would seem,
is ill-timed. 10 is, nevertheless, regarded
by the politicians mere as unmistakable
evidence that the South Georgian is con-
sidered the most formidable candidate by
the men most interested In the senatorial
race"

Philadelphia, Pa, March 22.-The fatal
'chance" blow that caused the downfall
Of many a champion Of the puQilstic
arena got in its work tonight on George
Dixon, and the game little colored
champion felt ufor the first time in his
life the sensation of being knocked
down and practically put out. An athletic
entertainment for the benefit of the un-
employed of Philadelphia, was given in
Industrial hall this evening, and among
the volunteers was Dixon. Dixon and
OROurke, his manager, travelled from
Boston for the purpose of aiding the en-
tertainmont. Dixon was put down to
spar with Walter Edgerton, the "Ken-
lucky Rosebud, " muscular c0lored boy,
OF this city.
HAMMER AND TONGs.
The first round was tame enough, but
in the second round the i'll feeling that
has long existed between the two broke
out and they went at each other say
agely. Dixon was knocked down and it
required all the science of his attendants
to bring him around in time. At the end
of four minutes time was called for the
third round ana Dixon did his best to
knock ildgertOn out, but uuayailinRly.
AS Edgerton jumped from the stage
after the bout Dixon struggled wildly
with O'Bourke to follow him, but was
not allowed to do so.
