New Orleans, Aug. 12.-What is re-
garded as an attempt Of Boer sympa-
thizer to blow up British transport
occurred shortly after midnight, when
terrific explosion occurred at the
stock landing where the Harrison

Mechanician is to carry mules to South
Africa. The explosion shook houses.
ratified dishes and awakened people
for some distance around. Most of the
crew of the ship were asleep, but the
explosion brought them quickly from
their berths to the deck. An exam
ination showed large dent on the
starboard side of the ship. Two
plates at the waters edge had been
sprung and considerable water was let
into the ship. The pumps were imme-
diately put to work, and when day.
light came it was found that the YES
sci was in no danger of sinking and
that the damage done was not Sc
rious. The crew of the vessel denied
that there were any explosives on
board, and there seems little doubt,
according to the statements of those
who examined the ship, that the ex-
plosion was from the outside, and that
some sort of bomb or torpedo had been
used.

he was slow in breaking it out. The
Invader crossed the line at good speed,

was to the northeast on broad reach

San Francisco, Aug. 12.-The gold
bars, amounting to $4,000, stolen
from the strong room of the Selby
smelling works during Monday night
last, have been located and $3.50, 600
worth of the precious metal has been
recovered and the balance will be
taken from it's hiding place within

The detectives worked on the sus-.
pect Jack Winters all Friday after
noon and the greater part of the
night with the result that he con-
fessed his crime and at an early hour
Saturday morning took the detectives
to the spot where he hid the gold.
The spot chosen by him was poor
one for the secreting of so much
treasure, it being at the end Of the
railroad wharf, but short distance
from the company's plant, and but
a few feet of water covered its hid
ing place.
Were There Accomplfcess
It is still mooted question wheth-
err the robbery was the work of one
man or of several. Many circum-
stances that have come to light seem
to indicate the completely of some
one within the works, and the man
ner in which the opening was drilled
in the floor of the safe is thought
to show such a knowledge of its in
terror arrangement as could not have
been possessed by Winters.

SANTA FE INSISTS.

Kansas City. Aug. 1o.-Inadequate
terminal facilities to handle the volume
of traffic passing through the Kansas
City yards of the different railroads
has resulted in extraordinary delays to
cars handled here, and the Santa Fe
railroad, which is the largest grain
originator. has practically said that
something must be done or it would
discontinue receiving grain for ship
ment to Kansas City except under
guaranty of immediate disposition
Operating and traffic officials repre-
senting ten Of the Kansas City rail-

Kansas shippers are clamoring for
wheat cars and calling upon the rail-
road commissioners to compel the San
IA Fe to furnish them.
According to Freight Traffic Manager
Biddle. of the Santa Fe, the average
detention of Santa E'e cars n Kansas
City is from seven to ten days. while
the average detention in Chicago is but
three days. There were present at the
conference c. w. KOuus. superintend-

The Santa F'a said If the other roads
would advise it when they were unable
70 handle its grain cars promptly, il
would materially lessen the difficulties.
Officers OF the other roads objected to
giving the Santa F-e this advice, on the
ground that the Santa Fe would post
on the board of trade the fact that such
roads were unable to handle the bust
ness promptly and that as a result the
roads would lose business they could
otherwise secure and move after their
rush was over.
The Santa F'e said it posted on the
board of trade its refusal to accept dis
position orders for delivery OF grain to
blockaded roads SO that 1t would not be
held liable for damages from delays
Some Of the other roads and grainmen
said that the posting OF these notices
cneapened grain on this market ana
that the Santa FTe profted BY its buy

dropped, as was apparently every other
suggestion offered. although the meet
