HAVANA. April IS An explosion be-

this morning while the correspondent

The detonation was sharp and the

The explosion occurred in a closet
situated in low story o. basemeus
under the city hall, which part OF the
building IL converted into heap of rub

fell and printer belonging to the can

1t was at fret believed that the steam

Is attributed to the insurgents or their

A New Musical yyonder

The Hobbie Piano Company has lust
received one of Wilcox 81 Whites new
instruments known a. the Symphony.
On this instrument one having no
practical knowledge of music can plav
the most difficult operatic and classic
compositions, as we'll as waltz, ballad
or hymn by simply operating the pedals
and stops. Those who do not under.
stand music instantly appreciate the
wonderful qualities OF the instrumeat.
The keyboard can be operated inde-
pendently as an ordinary organ, but its
use Is entirely optional. Any music
ever composed can be reproduced on the
Symphony-the latest waltz. the popular
song, or selections from the opera of
the hour. The Symphony 10 upon ex.

TWO CONVENTIONS.
Alabama Republicans Divide on McKin.
ley for President

Alabama Republicans Divide on McKin-
ley for President.
MONTGOMERY. Ala, April 2s.-The
Alabama Republican convention split in
two factions to- day. Last night il was
believed that they had secured the
house OF representatives for their CON-
vention and both factions began to issue
tickets OF admission to the convention
and much excitement prevailed. Gov.
Oates, fearing trouble, refused to allow
the convention to be held in the capitol
building.
The Mckinley followers met in Dor.
sett's hall, negro concert hall and the
anti McKinleyites met in q cotton ware
house. and in the absence of chairs are
standing through the proceedings. Both
effected temporary organizations.
Mckinley's supporters will nominate
State ticket and delegates to the St.
Louis convention. The anti Mckinley.
ties pull with the Populists and there
were contests In thirty a We of the sixtv.
six counties In the State and fight
was apparently unavoidable, should the
delegates meet ID one convention.
The managers Of the two theatres in
the city declined to permit negroes to
come into their parquets and dress cir
Giles. Neither the courtrooms nor
another hall could be secured and the
negro concert hall and the warehouse
were the only places available.
The Popullsts met at noon and effected
temporary organization and adjourned.
The Mckinley convention adopted an
anti-free silver protection platform and
put q straightout Republican ticket in
the field headed by Gen. j. w. Burke,
Of Calhoun, for governor.
The other convention, composed of all
the anti Mckinley factions. adopted q
platform declaring that all other issues
In Alabama were subservent to one-fair
elections. Money and protection are
not referred to in the platform.

Alternately. convicted the second time
OF the murder of Mrs. Lucy Jano Poll
lard In June, 1895. Judge Crute listened
patiently to the argument and will rem

proval by Lunenburg citizens and they
DOW feel. after having had fair and
impartial trial in another county, that
the fair name OF Lunenburg has been
vindicated.
Captain Guizon. counsel for the de-
Tense, made o motion to continue the

steamer Wysnoke last night fouled
the Columbia at Newport News and
sunk under her forefoot. The passen.
gers were all saved. Several of the
crew of the Wyanoke were injured and
are being attended by the Columbia's
surgeons,
THE damage to the Columbia is: One
hole two feet in diameter on pott side,
ten feet above the water line; heavy in
dentstions two feet above the water line
on the same side and indentations of

her to the Norfolk navy yard a. soon as
the requirements of paragraph 400 of the
naval regulations are complied with"
The regulation referred to by Admiral
Bunce is that requiring survey to be
made by special board of officers i'm
medtStely after an accident to ascertain
the extent Of the injuries sustained by
the naval vessel and what repairs are
necessary. 1t IL believed that in this
case there can be little doubt that the
blame must rest on the officers of the
Wyepoke, unless 1t can be shown that
the Columbia was anchored in dan
Rerous position and failed to exhibit
the lights indicating that she lay ct

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, April 2s.-
Shortly before 8 o'clock this morning
the Old Dominion steamer Wyanoke,
2.2oo tons, bound from Richmond to
New York, collided with the United
States cruiser Columbia, which was
anchored in the James river, opposite
this city, and went to the bottom thirty
minutes afterwards Captain Jenney
and the crew Of the Wyanoke. together
with q number OF the passengers, came
ashore In rowboats. Others were re-
moved to the Columbis
Captain Jenney had just relieved the
pilot when the collision occurred. Their 9
was no fog, but Captain Jenney says
that electric lights obscured the Column
biR. There we're lot passengers ON
board, and the crew numbered forty
two.
Captain. Jenney, when seen by an As
ISOLATED Press represe ntative, said that
his vessel struck forward Of the star
board wheel with such force as to
awaken oil the passengers, among whom
the widest CONSERVATION at once pre-
vailed.
AS far ss can be ascertained al
present there were no lives lost, but IL
Is yet very probable that several steer
age passengers who were down below
at the time might have gone to the
bottom. Purser Burdette lost his safe
in which were ell Of the ships papers
and consequently could not state
whether or not all the Storage passen.
gers had been accounted for.
The officers and crew Of the Columbia
handled the unfortunate ladies and gen.
tlemen with the greatest care and made
10 % comfortable 90 possible for them
while the work OF rescue WAS going on.
There were three bridal couples on
board a. the time, who lost their entire
wardrobes and Whatever valuablea they
carried with them. Others of the ladv
and gentlemen passengers are known
to have lost large sums of money as
we'll 90 trunks, etc.
The Wyanoke is now lying few hun
dred yards from tho shore. The tops of
her two mssts and the top of the pilot
house which was detached are visible.
The passengers warmly praise the con-
duct OF the officers during the excite.
ment. Captain Jenney and Purser Bur.
dette were the last to leave the sinking
vessel and were compelled to jump over
board In order to prevent being carried
down with the wrecksge.
Mra. b. Frank Ford, of Jam aica, NY,
was the last Of the women passengers to
leave the ship. 1t Is learned that q
hole WAS made in the Prov of the
Colu m bia by the Wysnoke. The COM
mander OF the Columbia has appointed
board Of investigation to determine
how far the naval officers are responsi-
BILE for the unfortunate affair. 1t is
now III progress and Is being held be-
hind closed doors.
The Naval Report.
WAsHINGroN. April 2s-The officials
ct the Navy Department were very
much disquieted thia morning by the
report thas the United States steamship
Oolumb is had been in collision near
Norfolk last night. Efforts were made
to secure some news through official
sources OF the accident. but it was not
for some time that telegrsphic report
came from Admiral Bunce, Commanding
the North Atlantic squadron to which
the Columbis is attached. This tele-
gram read as follows:
