ST. LOUIS. Mo. Jan. 2.-Three per-
sons were killed. one was fatally in
jured, four more are missing and thir-
ty-one received injuries more or less
serious as the result of an explosion
that occurred this afternoon at 309 Sec
ond street. Everybody for blocks
around Second, Third, Locust and Olive
streets was startled shortly before l
O'Clock today by series of three ex-
plosions that demolished the building
at 309 Second, badly damaging ad-
joining structures, and shattered thou
sands of panes of glass in the vicinity.
The building, which is occupied by the
Anchor Peanut company and III. Is.

gents is engaged in this renewed in
cursion towards Havana. But they
maintain the same scattered formation,
divided into columns, which proved so
effective in carrying them into the i'm
mediate neighborhood Of Matanzas, the
different columns apparently retain
ing the intuitive faculty Of knowing
the whereabouts and needs Of each
other, and thus being able to cooper
ate with one another and avail them
selves to the full of the feints and di-
versions which the different columns
carry out for the assistance of the 9TH
ers. The Spanish commanders are ap-
parently unable to cope with this style
OF warfare or to check the destructive
advance of the insurgents, which is
now once more directed straight upon
Havana. Early in the day the author
tiles apparently had hopes Of prevent
ing the entrance Of the insurgents into
Havana province when 1t became
known that they were gathering in
force on the borders, and two battal-
ions of troops were stationed at Las
Falos to oppose their advance into the
rich valley of the Guinas district, which
is studded over with some Of the more
valuable cane fields fnithe island. This,
force seems to have failed utterly to
prevent the insurgents from passing
them and reaching Aguacala, which is
however, well to the north Of the Gui-
mas district.
SITUATION GROWS WORSE.
1t is learned that Gomez now intends
to extend his incursion into the west
ern province Of Pinar del Rio, and the
situation Is considered exceedingly
grave in view Of the great activity that
has been manifested by local bands of
insurgents in Pinar del Rio ever since
Gomez's advance into Matanzas. It is
known that Gomez has directed these
movements. It is feared that this ad-
vance will be accompanied by gen
eral uprising In the province, co-operat-
ed in bs the local leaders, who are
already very well equipped for doing
damage. An advance into Pinar del
Rio would have the effect of practical
ly surrounding this city with insur-
gents, and there are ill-concealed fears
of an uprising within the city.

Assistant Pastor Objects to Such
Great Popufarity,

WASHINGTON, Jan. "A disagreement
has arisen in the First Presbyterian Church
of Washington between Rev. T. Dewitt Tai
mage and the assistant pastor Rev. Adoios
Allen, over which a special meeting OF the
Washington presbytery will be called. When
DR.. Talmage came to the church recently 1t
was arranged that he should preach Sunday
evenings, while DIR. Sunderland with whom
he was made co-pastor, should alternate in
the pulpit Sunday mornings with Mr.. Allen
the assistant pastor. The church has been
crowded on Sunday evenings since DR.. Tai
madge began to preach. and there is a de-
mand that he should hold the pulpit twice on
Sundays. Offers have also been made by
other churches for DR.. TaImage's services
on Sunday mornings. He has announced to
the elders that he desires to preach twice
each Sunday; that he is able to- and that
the pressure on him seems a providential
call. The elders haye the same opinion.
Mr.. Allen, however. stands on his rights
which are defined by the contracts and by
the church probity; and declines to yield the
pulpit. Consequently the presbytery will be
called on to decide the question.

Germany's Attitude Much Like

Regard to Venezuela.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The per-
sonnel of the Venezuelan commission
was commended today by members Of
the house who take particular inter
est in international matters regardless
of party affiliations. The gentlemen
selected were considered entirely COM
petent to conduct what the president
in his message expressed a wish fora
judicial examination of the evidence
relating to the boundary. 1t was also
pointed out that, while several mem
bers of the commission have partici-
pated in politics, none can be consid-
cred a strong partisan at this time
so that so far as our domestic affairs
are concerned they would not be likely
to enter upon their work with any
party ends to serve. In speaking of
the Venezuelan question an authority
on international affairs pointed out

the explosion DR.. Jordan, superintend-
ent, ordered six ambulances to the
scene and for a time they were kept
busy. Among those brought in by
the first ambulance was Richard c..
Cowlesha and his nephew, r. w. Cow
lesha. both of whom are compositors
in the employ of the Frey Stationery
company. The former was the most
seriously injured, his face, head and
hands being chopped almost to bits by
the broken glass. His injuries are very
painful but not necessarily dangerous.
His nephew'S injuries consist of a cut
face and hands and a scalp wound.
John Corcoran and Ernest Cannon, two
boys employed in the same building,
were also badly cut about the face and
hands.
OTHERS OF THE INJURED.
w. a. Brandeweide, a compositor, in
the same building. was cut about the
head and badly bruised on the body.
h. {. Whitlock, foreman of a gang OF
men for the Excelsior Wire company,
was on the third floor of the building
at the rear, when he saw the smoke
across the alley and realizing the dam
ger called to his men and they all att
tempted to escape by the rear STAIR
way. Before they could reach Ii the
explosion came. Whitlock was buried
under mass of debris and did not
regain consciousness until dragged out
by a fireman. He sustained frac-
tured rib. Albert Schneitz, a fellow
employe of Whitlock's, presented a
most sckening sight. Every inch OF
his body was blackened and roasted
almost to crisp. His injuries were
seen to be fatal and he was also sent
to the hospital. Michael Stack, 81
teamster employed by the Lammert
Furniture company. was across the
alley from the burning building at the
time of the explosion and was knocked
senseless. A heavy timber fell across
him, breaking his right leg and injur-
ing him internally. Frank Haguer
and Fred Williams, employees of the
Frey Stationery company. and III. L.,
Green Fred Rovene, and w. j. Werner
were each treated for injuries caused
by broken glass. G.. Dorrett, a watch
maker, and Robert T. Ebert, a sewing

painfully cut and lacerated about the
face by flying glass. The building
No 309 North Second street is a conf
plete wreck. The rear half was blown
to atoms and the whole front Of the
fcur-story building was blown out.
The rear of the Excelsior Iron and
Wire Works an the rear of the Levi
son & Blythe Manufacturing Co., were
entirely demolished.
BY FIRE AND WATER.
A loss Of at least 100000 resulted to
the buildings and their contents, which
were destroyed by the explosion or dams
aged by fire and water. This Is fully
covered by insurance. Across the alley
all the rear windows were blown out,
and bricks, mortar and flying timbera
were hurled into the building, creating
havoc and wounding many OF the en-
ployes. The Little & Beckers Printing
company, of 314 North Third street,
We're probably the heaviest sufferers on
that thoroughfare. The Frey Station
cry company, 308 North Third street;
the Western Engraving and Type foun-
dry at 217 Olive street, and the Daily
Printing company, at 2l0 and 2l2 Olive
street, each suffered to the extent of
$1,000, and many others for smaller
amounts. Most of this damage was
caused by the explosion. The heaviest
losers were the Anchor Peanut COM
pany at 300 North Second. Their loss
is placed at $12,0 ,000 fully covered by in
surance. The building which is a total
loss, was valued at $4,000; insured. Mr..
Grubb says the fireworks were valued
at $4,000 and will be total loss; in
sured The Levison & Blythe Nam
ufacturng company Will lose $4,000;
$500 insurance. This building was
valued at $4,000; it was total loss and
was insured At the Excelsior Iron and
Wire works the loss is $4,000; insured
for $4,000. Building damaged $4,000; in-
sured.

Jastice Brewer, wha heads the Ven

then received official notification of his
appointment, and in the absence of
this he was in some doubt as to his
course in accepting the unofficial an

Whlle he could n 1T speak with full in

sions OF the commissions would be
held in Washington, as it was the most
accessible point, and, moreover, much

were to be found here. For the pres
ent the justice will continue his work
on the supreme bench, as it is felt that
the preliminaries Of organization and
the assembling of evidence may con-
tinue through the present month, leav-
ing the more serious work of examina-
ton by the commission to begin about
Feb 1, when the supreme court takes a
mcnth's recess. This will permit the
justice to hear pending cases and
thereafter give his exclusive time to
the commission. IF, however, the COM
mission labors begin earlier than an

Justice Brewer, when asked if the
commission was likely to go away to
pursue it's investigation. said it might
be that the state department had pre-
pared certain features of evidence re-
garded as essential, and which would
serve as a groundwork for the inves-
tigation. In that event doubtless
these would be gone over. and then the
commission would determine what
further steps were required to ascer-
tain the facts. 1t might be that Ven
