Afraid of Watson.

London, July Lett is announced in
a special dispatch from Barcelona that
the inhabitants of that city are panic
stricken. They believe the Americans
will select defenseless Barcelona as
the first point to lombard. The local
banks are removing their specie to the
country, the merchants are sending
their goods to places of safety and
many of the citizens are leaving. The
governor of Barcelona has informed
the people that they cannot expect
help from the government.
Cadiz, July 16. - There is great ex.

POWDER WORKS EXPLODE.
Eleven Lives Are Lost in the Terrible
Disaster-Not the Work
of . Spy.

New York, July 1.-Two explosions
which killed IL men, wounded 20
others and wrecked two buildings,
occurred at the plant of the Latin
Rand powder works, at Pompton, n.
j., Tuesday. The first explosion was
In the house where the guncotton was
being made, and the second, presum-
ably superinduced by conclusion, was
in the drying house, close by.
After the explosion there was some
talk of a Spanish spy being implicated
in the attempt to destroy the powder
mill, but the theory of the men con-
nected with the works is that grain
of gravel or sand got into some pow
der which was in process of handling
in the mixing-room, and that as it
went through the machinery the for
eign substance came in contact with a
metal surface and threw out spark,
which ignited the explosive.
The Lafiin-Rand company has been
engaged in the manufacture of brown
powder, nitroglycerin, guncotton
and smokeless powder under contract
to the government. The loss to the
company will be great, but it is said
that reconstruction of the wrecked
buildings will begin at once, and that
the plant will be in full running order
in two weeks.

Washington, July 1.-THE press re-
ports of the burning of Siboney by the
medical officers of the United States
army had a depressing effect here upon
the friends of the soldiers at the front
in Cuba. For a long time it was i'm
possible to learn anything from any
official source as to the exact state of
affairs at the headquarters of the Fifth
army corps, and this reticence on the
part of the officials had the natural eff
feet to increase the apprehension.
Finally the fact was reluctantly adj
mitted that it was not certain that yell
low jack existed at Siboney, but the
reports received over night from the
medical officers did state that there
were IA suspicious cases of fever. The
fact that these cases were almost en-
tirely confined to members of the quar-
termaster's department, teamsters and
others encouraged the officials here to
believe that the main body of the army
is not in danger from the disease, if it
should turn out to be yellow fever.

TELLS OF THE SURRENDER.
Gen. Skaters Dispatch-TO Have
Taken City by Assault Would
Have Cost 5000 Lives.

Washington, July 1s.-The Ameri-
can flag is now waving over Santiago.
The first message conveying the news
of Santiago's formal surrender was
received at the white house shortly be-
fore IL o'clock, just as the president
was preparing to go to church.
4 Late in the afternoon the official dis
patch came from Gen. Shafter giving
in brief military fashion an unusually
clear statement from the general of
the days events. 1t was entirely sat
isfactory from every point of view,
showing that the American army was
in complete control of city that it
would have cost 5000 lives to capture
by storm. Moreover, it was very en-
couraging from medical view, in that
it showed, contrary to what had been
expected, that there was little sick
ness and scarcely any yellow fever in
Santiago, but great deal of suffering
and distress. Following is the dis
patch:

TRAIN ROBBED.
Bandits OverpOwer an Express Mes
senger Near Wichita, Kan, and
Escape with the Booty.

Wichita, Kan, July 1S.-The Frisco
passenger train, leaving here at $3.50
o'clock for st. Louis, was held up Sat-
urday night by two masked men at
Andover, a station ten miles east of
here. A citizen of Andover, who
learned of the plan to rob the train,
attempted to notify the train crew and
was shot by the robbers. He will prob
ably die. His name could not be
learned. Several hundred dollars were
taken from the express car, but the
exact amount is not known here, and
there is no way of finding out, as all
attempts to raise the Andover Office
have failed. Andover is flag station
and has about 200 people.
Two men rode into town at dark and
tied their horses in the street near the
depot. They avoided everybody and
acted in such a mysterious way that
they were suspected and a man was
sent down the road to flag the train.
He was shot by the robbers just few
minutes before the train arrived. AS
soon as the engineer slowed down the
men, wearing heavy masks, entered
the express car and demanded the
money. The messenger drew a re-
volver, but was gagged and disarmed.

ables from the safe. No attempt was
made to rob the passengers. After get

bers rode off across the prairie at a
full gallop, firing back toward the town.

During the day the secretary of war
Endorsed the plan of Col. Hecker for
the transportation of the Spanish forces
at Santiago back to Spain, approving
circular Col. Hecker had prepared
calling for bids for transporting the
Spaniards home. 1t provides for an ag-
gregate of 1000 Spanish officers with
first-class cabin accommodations, and
$4,000 soldiers with third-class steer
age passage. The circular says that
the Spanish forces will be delivered ON
board at Santiago for transportation
to Cadiz. Spain, or such other port as
may be designated. 1t is provided that
the accommodations are to be up to the
standard required by the United States
army regulations as to officers and
men, in regard to galleys, ventilation,
etc. The subsistence furnished is to
be equal to the prescribed United
States army ration. which is set forth
in detail as guide to bidders as to
what they must furnish.
The only disquieting information re-
ceived during the day was as to the yell
low fever conditions at the front, and
this dispatch was modified in an en-
couraging way by Gen. Skaters later
news. 1t was dispatch from Col.
Greenleaf, chief surgeon with the army
in Cuba. saying that 16 new cases had
appeared. While this was regarded
with some apprehension by laymen, the
surgeon generals department consid-
cred the showing entirely satisfactory.
Col. Alden, acting surgeon general dur
ing the absence of Gen. Sternberg, said
report of only 16 cases was an ex-
ceptionally good showing, as the num-
Der must be taken relatively to the large
number of men at the front.

An act Of parliament that was
passed in the reign Of George II for
the suppression of profanity is still
occasionally brought into force.
Under it the Wisbech magistrates
have Just convicted a man named
Abraham Pye of Walpole, who was
charged with publicly using four pro
fame oaths, for which he had rendered
himself liable to a penalty Of shil
lings, being shilling for each oath.
The defendant admitted his guilt and
at the request of the chairman the
clerk explained the provisions Of the
act, which imposes penalty of l
shilling per oath when uttered by a
|abQrer, 2 shillings when the offender
Is above a laborer and under the de-
gree Of a gentleman, and shillings
when spoken by any one above the
degree Of gentleman.
1t was also explained that the con-
sequences are the same whether the
oaths are uttered by person on his
own premises or in the public streets
The bench fined the defendant shil-
lings and 10 shillings costs, and init
mated that they intended to suppress
the use Of bad language In the public
streets as far as they possibly could.
