NAVAL APPROPRIATIONS BT11.y
Conferees of the Two Houses Reach an
Agreement.

Conferees of the Two Houses Reach an
Agreement.
Washington April 28.-The conferees
of the two houses reached an agree
ment on the naval appropriation bill
before adjourning tonight. All the
senate increases in the way of monitors
and torpedo boats were adopted These
increases include four monitors at ST.
250 900 and sixteen instead of twelve
torpedo boat destroyers. All the other
important additions made by the senate
are retained. The language in regard
to the enlistment of seamen was chang
ed so as to provide for one thousand
more marines. A provision was insert
ed giving the secretary of the navy au-
thority to enlist volunteers up to the
rank of commander This was done so
that the department could avail itself
of the services of the officers of the
American line steamers secured by the
government.

A TREASONABLE LETTER.
Mailed at Santa Cruz and Addressed
Premier Sagasta.


Mailed at Santa Cruz and Addressed to
Premier Sagasta.
Washington, April 2S.-The postoffice
department has received information
of another letter being held up because
it contained reasonable information.
The postmaster at Santa Cruz, Cal,
reported that letter addressed to Pre-
mier Sagasta, Spain, had been mailed
there and, under direction of Assistant
Attorney General Tyner it's contents
were examined. 1t was mailed by a
woman who gave an address where an
answer would reach her, and contained
information in regard to the fortifica-
tions of San Francisco, where guns are
located, etc. 1t also described points
lower down the coast where Spanish
vessels could land troops and said
there were men who would act as
guides to attack San Francisco and
seize railroad trains. The letter will be
transmitted to the war department for
action. 1t is thought 1t may lead to
an investigation as to whether there is
a person in that vicinity unfriendly to
the United States.

A BOXING FATALITY.
"Bull" McCarty, Who Was Put Out by
Critic, Expires.

Critic, Expires.
Sacramento, Cal, April 2S.-"Bull''
McCarty of Philadelphia, who was de-
feated by Critic in twenty-round box
ing contest last night, died to-day. He
did not regain consciousness after he
was knocked out in the twentieth round.
Those who saw the fight cannot under
stand how McCarty was fatally in
jured. There was not aknock- down dur
ing the fight until the last round, when
McCarty, who was tagged out from his
exertions from forcing the fight, went
down on his hand and knees from one
of Griffos light blows on the ear. He
was soon up, but too weak to do much,
when Critic gave him another blow,
which put him out. Griffo was also
tired and his blows seemed to lack
steam. McCarty was a narrow
chested, delicate looking young man
and although he appeared fresh after
the nineteenth round it must have been
that he had weak constitution.
Critic and his trainers will probably
be arrested.

MORE PowDEn WoRKs n1ow upu
six Workmen Killed-People Terrified
Women Tear Their Hair.

Easton, Pa, April 2S-The town of
Dover in Morris county, New Jersey,
and the country within radius of
twenty miles, was startled this after
noon by series of terrific explosions,
the first Of which occurred at 2:10
o'clock. The explosions occurred in
the Atlantic Powder company's works
and the plant Is now a complete mass
of ruins. Six workmen were killed and
four other seriously injured, some prob
ably fatally. The works were situated
in an isolated spot rough country
seven miles out from Dover. There
were ten buildings in the group and all
have been destroyed. The first explo-
sion occurred in one of the package
houses, caused, it is thought, by a
spark from the pipe Of a careless en-
ploye.
The concussion set off the explosives
In another packing house near by.
Debris and burning timbers Of the
wrecked buildings were carried high
into the air and fell in a shower over
the remaining buildings, setting fire to
the main factory and the other five
packing houses and the two shell
houses. In brief time the explosives
in these buildings were set off and left
death and destruction in their wake.
The works have been running night
and day turning out rush orders for the
government and a large amount of am
munition ready for shipment was stor
ed in the packing houses. This with
all other explosives was completely de-
stroyed.
The scene presented at the place was
terrible. People who felt the shocks
and saw the flames of the burning
structures focked to the place from
miles around but could render no aid
to the injured. The people were terri
fed and held back in constant fear of
other explosions. A few men who were
in the buildings managed to escape and
they ran about the country bewildered.
They could give no intelligent account
of the cause of the explosion. When
the wives and relatives Of the employees
approached the burning buildings the
scene was heartrending.
The women tore their hair and ran
about in pitiable manner. 1t was
near o'clock before the ruins had
cooled off sufficiently to be approached
and before the on-lookers could be in
duced to go near the spot. The bodies
of the dead were horribly mangled. The
heads were missing from some while
here and there lay legless and armless
trunks. Many of the injured were cut
and manned so badly that some of
them cannot recover. The loss cannot
be learned at this writing. The dead
are: Alfred Rarick, William Stumpf,
Casper Ray, David Scheer, William
Haycock, Elias Abers. All the killed
were married and leave families.

state and in the absence Of Secretary
Day received the representatives of
foreign governments having diplomatic
business with the United States.
Among them were the Portuguese
minister and Mr.. Hatch, minister for
Hawaii. The latter, it is understood,
called to ascertain SO far as possible
the policy of the United States with
regard to the republic Of Hawaii in
connection with the war with Spain.
Although it is impossible to obtain any
official informa ton on that point, it is
understood that the Hawaiian minister
was informed that the administration
was not likely to change it's policy to-
ward the Hawiian islands pending ac-
ton by the senate on the treaty pro-
viding for the annexation of those
islands to the United States.

No Confirmation.

Washington, April 2S.-No informa-
tion of the grounding of one of our
warships was received either by the
president or the secretary of the navy
tonight and, so far as could be learn
ed no such dispatch reached the navy
department. An examination Of the
best Cuban map of the war department
fails to show any point on the coast
called Dimas, the nearest approach to
it being Point Damente on the north
ern coast of Pinar del Rio province,
short distance west of Havana, and in
the blockaded zone. No advices from
Captain Sampson regarding the bon-
bardment of Matanzas were received
up to a late hour. The navy depart
ment does not expect news from Ad-
miral Dewey and the Pacific squadron
before Saturday.

WAR RETENUE BILL.
Democrats Continue Their Assault on the
Bond Provision.

Democrats Continue Their Assault on the
Bond Provision.
Washington, April 2S.-The general
debate on the war revenue bill closed
tonight after eight and half hours of
speech-making. There was little dis
cussion of the internal revenue features
of the bill. The democrats continued
their assaults on the bond provision
and their advocacy of the income tax.
The latter was ridiculed as substitute
proposition by the republicans. The
authority to borrow money was defend
ed by them as absolutely necessary.
There is a. difference of opinion on the
democratic side as to whether the bill
should be voted for upon it's final pas
sage after the minority amendments
are voted down. A number of the dem
ocrats, led by Mr.. Mcclellan of New
York, have announced their purposes
of so voting, but the majority of the
democrats say they could not vote for
a bond issue. There may be some diff
ficulty about the committee amend
ments decided upon to-day, as under
the order the bond features of the bill
must first be taken up under the five
minute rule tomorrow.

Would Like Action.

Washington, April 2S.-The senate
committee on foreign relations held a
ton of the question of the annexation
of the Hawaiian islands. There is a
general desire on the part of members
of the committee to take up the treaty

the emergency occasioned by the Span

refuse to withdraw opposition, alleging
the insufficiency of the exigency. The

tion under consideration but reached
no definite conclusion as to the plan to
be pursued.

the subject of the relations between
England and the United States. He
says: ''The idea that in some way
there may some day be cooperation on
a great scale between England and
the United States is not strange to
him (McKinley). 1t is too soon to say
anything definite on that subject; but
here, as in England, some such concep-
ton of the future dawns upon the
American mind, and the presidents
mind is American, pre-eminently
American"
