Employees Killed.

Special to THESrS.
WASHINGTON, ID. G.. April 26.-lnfor-
nation was received here tonight that
the California Powder Works at Santa
Cruz, had blown up at an early hour
this evening.
This is regarded as particularly un-
f,rtunate as tie plant was one OF the
only two factories in the United States
that could furnish smokeless powder for
the army and navy.
They had the contract to furnish
$500, 600 worth OF powder to the
government and had recently shipped
fifty tons east by special train,
A number Of the employees are re-
ported to have been killed and the coun'
trv for miles around is scene OF
devastation and ruin.

John B. Moore Of New York, who will
probably succeed Assistant Secretary Of
State Day, was former resident Of this
State. 5S II
The selection Of Mr.. Moore, who is
now professor Of international law at
Columbia University, New York, to-
succeed the latter, was warmly welcomed
by all Of the Statn 4 las.a = --Tr-
Appointed originally from Delaware
in tie State Department. by Mr.. Bayard,
when the latter was secretary, Mr..
Moore, by sheer merit and ability
worked his way up to the place of second
assistant secretary. and in that capacity
he served under several administrations
without regard to political changes.
He resigned his place in the State De-
partinent to accept the chair OF 'interna-
tional law at Columbia University about
three years ago and it is believed that
his present appointment is only tenn
porary, because of his indisposton to
permanently sever his connections with
Columbia. =, i.
Mr.. Moore is Il nephew Of Register IN

to nearly all the older members OF the

LIQUOR BILL PASSED
BY the House Without a Dissenting
VOice--Bill Amending New Con-
stitutiOn Reported FavOrably.
Special to THE Sun.

special TO IHE Sun.
DOVER, April 2G.-Business opened il
the House this morning by the callins
up by Mr.. Dempsey of the bill regulating
the sale of intoxicating liquors from
wagons or other vehicles.
The bill does not Interfere with the
business OF bottlers of beer to anv ap-
preciable extent as it does not prevent
the regular traffic of such institutions so
far as their legitimate trade is concerned,
but it provides Tor special license to be
taken out by such concerns where Gus
toners are supplied indiscriminatey
from wagons or other vehicles.
There was no opposition to the bill
and it passed the House without a dis
senting vote.
The bill amending the new constitu-
ton OF the State as regards the levying
OF capitation tax was reported favora-
bly, from committee.
The proposed amendment changes Sec
tion of article SO as to make it op-
'tional with the General Assembly to
provide for the levying and collection of
a capitation tax instead OF obligatory as
the constitution now demands.
AS there are few members who de-
sire to escape the wrath of their constitu-
ents for the levying Of capitation tax
which they may think oppressive, the
proposed change gives them loophoe
Of escape, but there is no provision made
or authority given to any other slegisla-
tive orexecutive body to ltvy such capi-
tation tax and the result will be that the
new constitution will be ''jum bled."
\ The general corporation bill was taken
up and amendments to it read for con-
Inthe Senate the bill in regard to ad-
lnitting patients to the State Hospital
was read for final passage and passed.

across the bows OF the Panama at a hun.
dred yards, and the deck officer of the
Spanish vessel was hailed and notified
that if he did not heave to shot would
be sent through his vessel. This notiti-
cation caused the Panama to be brought
to.
Ensign Dayton then boarded the Span
ish steamer and took possession of her.
The battleship Indiana then steamed
up, and Commander Everett notified
Captain Taylor OF the Indiana, that he
had captured the Panama, and borrowed
a prize crew from the battleship, consist
ing of Cadet Falconer and fifteen
marinines.
The Mangrove was then ordered to re-
port to the flagship, and Rear Admiral
Sampson told commander Everett to take
his prize into Key West.

TIE ONLY JOE JEFFERSON
The Veteran Actor Delights Mag
niiccnt Audience.

The audience which greeted the pro-
duction of Rip Van WinEle last night at
the Opera House was probably the finest
both in numbers and character that has
vel sat through play this season.
IL was a worthy tribute to the genius
of Joseph Jefferson.
The veteran actor himself seemed to
appreciate the admiration and whole
hearted attention he received and his
work was fully worthy of his great repu-
tation.
Several scenes in the life of the scape
grace Rip affected the audience to tears
which the general good humor and wit
chased away with smiles.
At the close OF the performance Mr..
Jefferson came before the curtain in re-
Spouse to the imperative applause, ,
In courteous terms he acknowle ledged
his appreciation OF his warm welcome.
A fact not known to most of his hearers
perhaps was the fact that he began his
stage career IN this city.
Sixty odd years ago his. father was
manager of the Opera House here and
when stage baby or juvenile part was
wanted he was rendered to fill the part.
He had doubtless played before the
fathers and maybe the grandparents OF
his present audience.
IIe referp briefly to the report that
he intpnda retire from the stage. lie
smiIinglya knowledged that his years
gave weiglNto the opinion that it was
time but the generous appreciation he
received at the hands of his audiences
was 80 strong an argument in favor o.
staying that he would doubtless stay al
long as he received such encouragement

To Await Navy Operations.

WASHINGTON, April 2G.-The Navy De-
partment has received dispatches relat-
ing to the landing OF Lieutenant Ere
mont from the torpedo boat Porter for a
short time in Cuba.
The pu, pos Of this liu req secret eX-
pedition to the shore from the blockade
fleet was to receive and convey lnforlnl-
ton to and from the insurgent forces
with relation to the landing OF munitions
of war and supplies for the establish
ment OF the base OF supplies.
1t is known that the information Sc
cured by Lieutenant Fremont is OF great
Importance, but whether it shows the
plan for a junction with Gomez's army
las been successfully managed or not is
not disclosed. 1t is believed, however,
that the information was satisfactory.
1t is problematical as to how many
troops Gomez can assemble, and upon
that depends largely the Immediate
operations in Cuba. >,
1t is not the intention of the President
to begin formidable invasion OF Cuba
until after there has been Il test OF
strength between the American and the
g Spanish fleets, or until ii has been estab,,
lished that Spain does not intend to send
her fleet t American waters.
1t is believed that the information
secured by Lieutenant Fremont was not
of a character to change in any way the
plan OF landing five thousand troops
Somewhere on the coast OF Cuba to
establish base Of supplies.
On the contrary, il is supposed tliat|a
thorough understanding has been arrived
at with the commander of the establish
ment OF the base of supplies.
The American troops landed in CubJ
will not be there for any aggressive
movement, but will be strong enough tt
maintain themselves in the position
which they will occupy.
The authorities on which the Admin
istration relies chiefly for advice witt
respect to operations on the island regart
force of five thousand men as ample fo
this purpose, and this force will carr.
munitions of war and provisions for 9
large army, so that if Gomez should fai
to make junction with them ant
SIMPSONS fleet should be called ava,
from blockade duty to meet the Spanlsl
fleet on the high seas the force would b
strong enough to defend itself agains
attack, and would be 50 well pr0visione'
as not to suffer from being cut off fro'
communication, even for o long time.
II the plans work out satisfactorily an
The sun. (Wilmington, Del.) 1897-19??, 1898-04-27

I Gomez can provide sufficient force the
Cuban army will be well supplied and
equipped for such aggressive movements
as may be deemed advisable for them to
make.
There are some authorities here who
urge very strongly the Immediate inva-
sion of Cuba by large force, but seriols
objections are raised to this, and it is
not contemplated in the present plans.
The plan of invasion, in fact, las not
yet been definitely decided upon, the
President is still in consultation with the
, General Schotield on the subject.
The reason that the Presldent and
Secretary of War do not intend an inva-
sion at this time by a large army, in ad-
, dition to the danger from disease, IL that
if the two Spanish fleets that are at 81.
Vincent, Cape Verde, and the Cadiz fleet
should join and proceed at once to attack
any of our ports or to give battle to our
fleets, it might result i'll cutting our
army in Cuba off from communication
for Il time, and subjecting it practically
| to blockade in Cuba such rs Havana Is
now undergoing. -,
If, by any miscl ance, our fleet should
suffer revelses, large army in Cuba
would be placed at great disadvantage.
1t is regarded as desirable; therefore,
that military operations in Cuba should
be confined chiefly to Gomez's forces
until the naval operations have led to
some definite result
The Department here is left largely to
surmise for Il conclusion rs to the course
which will be pursued by the Spanish
navy. 1t is regarded as definitely settled
that the Spanish fleet at st. Vincent,
Care Verde islands, will not remain
there, and that the Cadiz fleet is Oh its
way either to forma junction with the
St. Vincent fleet at the Canares, or on
an independ mt expedition to our North
ern coast.
Our own vessels have be IL SO dis
tributed as to meet either OF these
movements. If the two Spanish fleets
are Joined i'll an aggressive movement
they can be met by the Hampton Roads
fleet, and large part OF SIMPSONS fleet
at any point towards which their move
ments are directed. -,
Meanwhile the destruction OF the small
Spanish fleet at the Philippines and the
capture of the Philippine Is lands by our
Asiatic Squadon is expected at an early
date.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 26.- Three
Spanish vessels have been captured to-

The Montserrat, Captain Descham, ar

Cadiz, and sailed the same day for Ha-
vana.
The Montserrat was built in 1889 at
