DYNAM1rERs WORK AT HAVANA
Two Bridges and an Aqueduct Par
TALLY Destroyed.

Havana, June 14-This city WAS
startled and alarmed last night at 8
o'clock by the noise Of two successive
explosions which shook the ground for
a long distance and were heard for sew
eral miles. 1t was found that the stone
bridges of Christiana and Concha and
the aqueduct of Fernando Septimo were
the points that had suffered from the
dynamite. The bridges were partially
destroyed and the pipes on the aqueduct,
upon which the city is dependent for
it's water supply, were much damaged.
1t can not yet be stated how extensive
is the damage done or how long it will
require to remedy it.
The windows in many houses were
shattered by the reverberation of the eX-
plosion, and some market structures
were badly damaged.
There is no doubt felt that the dyna-
mite which caused this wreck was
placed by agents of the insurgents. It
has been their determination to cut off
the water supply of Havana and so
serve to make this city as nearly unin-
habtable as possible

80 years of age and wears a sandy mus
tache. He was well dressed.
