San Francisco, May 23.-A terrible
report and conclusion which was dis
tinctly felt all through the city and at
towns around the bay for a distance
of forty miles was at first believed to
be caused by an earthquake. but
proved to be an explosion in the nitro
glyccrine and mixing houses of the
California powder works at Pinole,

glycerine house. four i'll number, and
the foreman of the mixing house, were
all killed, as We're nine Chinese work.
ing in the latter department. The eX-
plosion occurred in the nitro-glycerine
house, and was probably caused by
the Chinese dropping can of tie esS-
plosive. The cause cannot be definite
ly ascertained, however, as all con-
ncctcd with the building are dead.
There were 900 Chinese in the adj
jacent miNi room, and at the sound
of the explosion all ran and the ma
jority escaped. The force of the eX-
piosion was tremendous. Huge trees
were thrown into the bay. Il distance
of half mile. and nitro-glycerinc
tanks weighing a ton each are now
lying 500 yards distant from the
scene. Hands, legs ard other parts of
the mutilated remains of the dead
were scattered along the road for a
mile. The nitro glycerine house first
went up. then the miXin. storchouse

lowed. The nitro-glyccrine house. of
