A WASTE OF POWDER.
Terrific Explosion at the Works at
 Santa Cruz Yesterday.

Santa Cruz, Cal, April 26-Three explosions about 5:15 this afternoon at the California powder works caused a greater loss of life than any pre- vious accident in the history of these works. The widest rumors are prev alent regarding the number killed and injured, the exact number of which cannot be ascertained before morn ing. It is known that seven were killed and four seriously injured. As nearly as can be learned the primary cause of the disaster was the ex- plosion of the gun cotton plant.
 No doubt is entertained among the officials of the works that the ex- plosion was due to accident. Extra ordinary precautions had been taken to prevent treachery and no well in formed man entertains the opinion that the explosion was the work of a Spanish spy, as was at first suggested. It is not thought that the explosion will interfere with the manufacture of smokeless powder for the govern ment- None of the plants used in making powder for the fulfillment of government contracts are injured.

ANGLO-SAxONS FOR US.
The Race is Solid in Our Favor
 the World Over.

l London, April 26.-The Daily Mail,
 under the caption "Anglo-Saxons Sol 1 id," this morning prints opinions col i lected by its correspondents in many I parts of the British empire respecting ! the action of the United States. In | the introduction to the opinions the
 paper says:
 "The solidarity of Anglo-Saxon sen
 timent is, perhaps, the most notice able feature that the Spanish-Ameri- can dispute has brought into promi nence."
 The paper gives extracts from the Canadian and Newfoundland press favorable to the United States. The Shanghai correspondent says:
 "The feeling here is strongly pro- American. The Shanghai Mercury declares that America is acting in the interests of peace, civilization and good government The North China Daily News and the Daily Press are also favorable to the American cause" The Singapore correspondent says:
 ''The Free Press declares that the interposftion of the United States is practically the penalty inflicted by civ ilization for failure. The Philippines islands will probably share in the llb- eration. Their people are little known, but they are highly intelligent They are quite capable of guiding their own destinies. The flag of an American admiral would be hailed, in the Phil ippines as the symbol of newly won liberty"
 The reporter of the Daily Mail in

ferent articles to be taxed and the estimates heretofore published of the amount of revenue to be derived, and continues: "These are all taxes on objects which were assessed during and subsequent to the civil war with one exception; therefore, they do not open up a new and untried system of taxation.
 THE UNCERTAIN TOTAL.
 While all of the additional taxes are war taxes which would be nat urally modified when the necessities of war and the payment of war ex- penses have ceased, yet it is impos- sible now to place a limit on them not only for the reason that war always brings a train of extraordinary ex- penditures which do not terminate with the close of actual hostilities. It is evident that it will be necessary, in order to maintain the public credit, not only to raise additional revenues provided by the accompanying bill, but also to authorize the secretary of the treasury to borrow on the credit of the government from time to time as the public necessities require.
 s5OO,000,0OO BONDS.
 We have given, therefore, authority to issue and sell not exceeding $5OO,- 000,0 900 of per cent bonds to be of fered as a popular loan, believing as we do, that such bonds will be taken from time to time by the masses of the people.

IT COSTS TO DEFEND HONOR.
How Money Will Be Raised to Carry
 on the War.

Washington, April 26.-The appar- ent cash balance in the treasury when the joint resolution appropriating $50,- coo, ,OOO fer the national defense was passed was about $225, ,000,00 includ- ing the $1OO,0O0,O00 redemption fund. or $125, 100000 excluding that fund. But this balance was only apparent inasmuch as $13,OOO,OO0 consisted Of fractional silver, largely in current and minor coins, leaving only $112.- 1000. But out of this amount $14.- 100000 consisted of receipts from the sale of the Pacific railroads, held in the treasury for the payment Of that amount of Pacific railroad bonds due January 1 next, and $33,O00,O00 of the bank redemption fund held for the payment of notes of national banks failed and in liquidation De- ducting these amounts the ac- tual available cash in the treasury at that time belonging to the govern ment exclusive of the greenback re- demption fund, was only $65,000,000.
 Inasmuch as a working balance of about $47, 100000 is required to prop erly carry on the operations of the government there remained only $25.- 0O0,0O0 belonging to the government, available in meeting the $50,O00,000 appropriation. It will be necessary to meet all expenditures under the $5O.- 000,0O0 appropriation, all of which was expended within few weeks. PRELIMINARY COST.
 The expenses of the preparations for defense that have been going on for nearly two months are at a rate of $25, 5,000,000 per month, or $500, ,000,- 900 per annum, and the expenses of ac- tual war will be more. The ways and means committee recommend the levy ing of internal revenue taxes either on articles of voluntary consumption ol objects that will make such taxes fall i mainly on persons able to contribute
 to the national defense, on which will
 in the aggregate yield from $90,OO0,. coo to S100,O0O,O0O in addition to the present revenues.

LIBERALITY TO SPAIN.
Probable Release of the Vessels AL
 ready Captured.

Washington, April 26.- Conditions in Washington are rapidly settling down to those of actual war. Notices came to the state department from the four quarters of the globe today showing that nations as a rule are prepared to assume an attitude of strict neutrality as between the United States and Spain in the present strug- gle.
 In most cases they were in answer to the identical note sent out yester- day by the state department to all United States embassies instructing them to inform the governments to which they were accredited that the war has existed since April 21. Great Britain has always taken an advanced stand in the principles of neutrality, SO that it was with great interest that the news was received here of the terms of the neutrality proclamation issued in London.
 On the whole officials are disposed to take a view that strict adherence by Great Britain to those rules will be rather more advantageous to the United States than to Spain, particu- larly as we now are operating in a naval sense close to our own base of supplies and in all probability soon will cut Spain from the base she now has in the neighborhood of Cuba The president issued a proclamation during the day laying down rules as to the seizure of prizes, and the result, it is believed, will be the re- lease of some of the ships already cap tured, though it will be for the prize courts to determine in each case whether the conditions under which the ships were captured are such as to warrant a release.
 A USELESS CAPTURE.
 The impression prevails that the Buena Ventura, the first on the list of prizes on the high seas, would be declared no prize. The case of the today, is more complicated, owing to the fact that while otherwise exempt, she was reported to have contained supplies for the Spanish army in CuDa, which were contraband. How ever, it may be said that while the settlement of these questions would be left to the courts, the administra- tion believes the greatest liberality should be shown in the application of the laws where the vessel is not contraband or attempting to run a blockade. That is shown in the lib- era1 terms of the proclamation itself by which prize courts must be guided
 It is motel also that the administra- tion has not been deterred by any criticism in congress from again for mally pledging itself to the nations oi the world to refrain from privateering

 REMODELNG THE ARMY.
 The army reorganization bill be- came law during the day, and war department officials have begun to de- wise the best means of carrying out the purposes of the act which will re- suit in an increase of the regular army to more than 60,000. In the war de- partment preparations went on with ceaseless energy for the organization of the volunteer army. All the off, cers were detailed who are to be sent to the various states and territories to muster guardsmen into the service of the United States. Plans for the reorganization of the army were also perfected. To provide officers for the regular army Secretary Alger ordered an assignment for duty of all cadets at West Point academy who could in the ordinary course of events have graduated in June.
 MOVEMENTS ON THE WATER.
 The greatest anxiety was shown at the navy department for news from the blockading squadron. Notwith- standing frequent reports that come from unofficial sources of engagements between the squadron and the shore, no confirmation came officially. Prizes reported to have been seized reported in dispatches, but press re- ports were received with the greatest satisfaction by the department officials who in some cases did not cease to de- clare their envy of their brother off, cers of the fleet. In fact, it is becom- 1 ing very hard for Secretary Long to retain in the service of the depart ment the officers absolutely required, in view of their earnest desire to go to the front.
 Secretary Long today directed the release from Boston naval prison of twenty-eight sailors. The men have been in prison for various infractions of the military laws, and the depart ment believes that the conditions war rant their restoration to active ser- vice.
 It appears that the assignment Of Rear Admiral H. Erben, retired to re- lieve Commander Elmer in charge of the Mosquito fleet, was caused by the ill health of Commander Elmer. More than a dozen retired officers were called into the service by Secretary Long today.

Black, from Les Angeles, representing the Vekol Milling and Mining company, an Arizona corpOrA- tion, as secretary and treasurer. has been in the city for day or two for the purpose of purchasing some n1A- chinery.

This plan has been found to be sue cessful in the treatment of that ora experiments having been conducted going ahead Tn earnest, and machinery is being put in having a capacity of twenty-four tons per day. Including wood choppers there are at the present time about twenty-five men employed under the joint management of MT. Black and P. B. McCabe.
 There are now about 5000 tons 0f ore on the dump and this will be aA- tackled first, but as soon as milling be- gins, work at mining will commence. when an increased force will be put on- It has been demonstrated tha& the Fort Wayne process will save much larger per cent of that character of ore than any other known process. and as a result of the experiments made, which were on large scale and which proved to be conclusive. the company is sufficiently satisfied to proceed practically to render the work. ing of the mines profitable undertak- ing.
 The company consists of R. J. Fisher Of Fort Wayne, Ind, president; F. E. McCabe of Tempe, vice-president, and T. A. Black of Los Angeles, secretary and treasurer. J. H. Bass of F,ort Wayne and c. NJ. Simpson of Pasa- dena, Cal, are directors. The cap ital of the company is $4OO, 900, and there is no end to the funds in sight to carry out the ideas and plans of the management.
