Chicago, April 27.-Over 1000 fight.
ing men marched out of Chicago Tues
day night bound for the war. Since the
early days of 1861 no such scenes have
been witnessed in this city as trans
pired at the regimental armories, in the
streets through which the columns
marched, and around the trains carry.
Ing them to the camping grounds at
Springfield. The regiments which went
to the front were the First, Second and
Seventh regiments of infantry and

An Explosion Causes Awful Havoc
at Santa Cruz, Cal.
BIG POWDER PLANT IS DESTROYED.
Total Loss of Life az Yet Unknown-
Seven Certainly Killed md Four
Wounded-The Explosion Due
to an Accident.

Santa Cruz, CAL, April 27.-Three ex-
plosions about 5:15 Tuesday afternoon
at the California powder works caused
greater loss of life than any of the
previous accidents In the history Of
these works. The widest rumors are
prevalent regarding the number Of
killed and injured, the exact number
of which cannot be ascertained now.
1t is known that seven were killed and
four seriously injured.
The first heavy shock from the explo-
sion was felt for many miles around
and was separately followed by two
lighter shocks. The smoke from the
works arose in such dense volume that
1T was impossible for time to perceive
the extent Of the damage that had been
caused by the explosion. 1t was said
that the fire was spreading and the
main magazine was In imminent dan
ger.
The bugle call was accordingly sound
ed for nc-.npers of the California naval
reserve who responded promptly, hur-
rying to the mills and assisting the
corps OF fire fighters already on the
6Aouhu-' 40 hSdiiy MS eau Ue leQrneQ,
the primary cause of the disaster was
the explosion of the cotton plant. Tho
igniting Of this plant caused the fire to
spread to the adjoining brush and small
building and was then communicated
to the pawder mill fiat where are To-
Gated the houses of the employees of
the works. The employees and naval
reserve boys worked heroically to pre-.
vent the fire from spreading to the
smokeless powder plant. The scarcity
of water in the creek retarded the work
OF the volunteer fire brigade. Shovela
and other tools were used instead of
water In fighting the flames.
No doubt is entertained among the
officials of the works that the explosion
was due to an accident. Extraordinary
precaution had been taken to prevent
treachery, and no well-informed man
entertains the opinion that the accident
was the work Of a Spanish spy, as was
at firstsuggested. 1T is not thought the
explosion will interfere with the manu-
facture of smokeless powder for the
government. The fire is now under
control and all immediate danger ID
passed. None of the plants for making
powder for the fulfillment of governs
ment contracts are injured. In adda-
ton to the guncotton plant most Of tho
cottages occupied by the employees were
burned.

History presents very few Instances
