FOR AMERICAS CUP.
Yachtsmen Talking of the Prospects for
Another Challenge.

Boston, May 1.-There have been two
rumors having to do with international
yachting matters this week; one that
the Defender had been purchased by nm
English syndicate and would be raced
in English waters apd the other that
cup challenger would be built by an
Irish syndicate to challenge for the Ame-
rica's cup. Both of these rumors wers
promptly oontradioted, but while moth
ing definite came of them. they show
that the yachtsmen ON the other side are
talking over the question of information
al racing, and it would not be surpris
ing to see another challenge forthcoming
once; no me either on this side of the
water or on the other supposes that any
syndicate or individual is going to start
to lay plans for the building of a cup
challenger at this time of year, for there
would be no possible advantage to be
gained from it and there would be ever
disadvantage. 1t is pretty certain, how
ever, that the unpleasant feeling engen-
dered by the last international contest
is dying out, and 1t would not be sur
prising to see challenge for the cup ear
Iy next November.
Whatever may be the feeling on the
other side, there is no question that the
yachtsmen here would like to see a chal-
lenge fol. next year. After the last race,
most Of the thorough yachtsmen were
Disguised with international racing, and
did not care about seeing an English
boat for some time to come. but this
feeling has worn Off and the Ameri-
cans are now ready for another race.
The general sentiment is that it would
be more desirable 60 have the challenge
in smaller class, for whatever may be
the case on the other side in these wat
ers 90-foot sloop is considered an
abormal creation, and there is no reason
why small and handler craft would
not do just as well.

SPOKE RIGHT UP.
Four Wagon Loads of Dynamite Exploded
in the Streets.

New York, May 1.-The Herald pub
fishes the following from Panama, April
9O:
Adyices from San Salvador state that
a terrific explosion of dynamite In that
city today resulted In the destruction
of two entire blocks, md caused the
loss Of many lives.
The explosion occurred under peculiar
circumstances. -Four wagons were be-
ing driven down Conception street, one
of the principal thoroughfares of the city,
each loaded with several t,oxes of dyna-
mite. In some unexplained manner one
of the boxes of dynamite exploded with
a defeniug roar. In an instant every
other Dox on the wagon was blown up.
Then, with an awful oraEh. the dynamite
on the three other wagons, which were
pear. exploded supplementary. This
last explosion was followed by the crash
of timbers and the two blocks of build
ings opposite on each side of Conception
street fell away like houses of cards.
1t is not known exact how many
persons were in the buildings at the
time. but it is feared the number was
very large, and of these few escaped.
Scores of persons were caught by the
falling timbers and knocked down by
the flying debris, and many of these,
it is feared, will die of their injuries.
Nearly every window in the sity was
smashed by the conclusion, and hun
dreds of persons ere thrown from their
feet by the shock.

Promise of Good Yachting in Massachu.
sets Waters,

Buzzard's Bay. Nay There prom
ises to be unusual interest taken in
yachting in southwestern Massachusetts
the coming season, especially in Buz-
Yards Bay and Cape Cod Bay. All of
the boat builders at Monument Beach,
Oysterville and. Harewich have turned
out some racing crafts constructed al
most exclusively for racing in these wat
ers. The Beverly and Cape Cod yacht
club expect some fine racing the coming
summer, and the Woods Holl yacht club
which ~as organized last year, are
promising series of interesting con-
tests. Many new boats have been con-
structed by the builders on the Cape
duIing the past winter, and from what
can be learned in this section, the cum
ing bids fair to be one of the most inter-
estiug in yachting circles known here
abouts.
