FATAL POWDER EXPLOSION.
Nos - Rss~s bssse-v. HsvoaA. Kills o.
lnysess ~ PsoSss


Havana, Nov. 2s-A box OF powder
exploded this morning near the Reina
battery. killing or injuring thirty-eight
persons.
The explosion occurred on the Ave
nue. Infnnta. between the Santa Clara
and Keina batteries. Many boxes Of
powder Were stored In n private house.
which also contained nve rooms full
OF Maus-r and other cartridges. The
careless handling Of one Of the boxes
Of powder or OF one Of the boxes Of
cartridges caused the explosion.
The presence Of such n large guam
tity OF cartridges-known TO have been
brought recently from the artillery
depot-in an Out-of.fhe-way house.
whesc they Were stored roof high. has
not been explained. Most of those EN-
ployed In emptying the cartridges, evil
IDENTITY their only duty on the premi-
SEES, were boys and girls under IL
years of age. and they formed the
greater portion OF the victims.
The employment OF children In such
a dangerous occupation and the ex-
isfcnce Of such large quantity Of ex-
plosives within the city limits are
both In contravcnticn OF the municipal
regulations.
Whether there may have been somc
ulterior motive In storing these ex-
plosivc~ canno, i,e told. but the cas-.
ualty suggests the probability that
there may have isen other similar lie.

thorifie..
Senor Decas,ro. the civil governor OF
Havana. has stationed n guard over
the unexplo<ied powder and an inve--
t!gntion into the whole afYair has been
ordered.

Washington. Nov. 29.-Major General
VI. &. Butler had another conference
with the President to-day concerning

said:
"Since the American commissioners

diers have been sent back 10 Spain.
Thirty-two transports will soOn arrive
there and take away JO.ND TO 10000
more. The remainder will depart
at'ou' the lst Of January or soon after
wards"
General Butler aaid that il was hard
TO tell how many Spanish soldiers will
remain on the island TO become citi-
zens. Al one time decree. was issued
permitting some 10 make their homes
In Cuba. but this was withdrawn.
General Butler added u good word for
the Spanish soldiers. He said he had
never --cn a more orderly or better be-
haved lot OF men. He saw thousands
Of them every dny. and never wit
Messed a disorderiy act.
General Butler said that nobody
could approximate the time when this
country could turn things over to the
Cuhans. He had found the Cutnns
bright and well educated He ts.-
lieved that many spaninr,is would soon
join with the Culan- and take part In
