ly destroyed by the flames. Half of
them were ordinary business houses
and the remainder dwellings.

Fearful Explosion at Nicaraguu's
Capital Costs in NeighbOrhood of
200 Lives.
Managua, Nicaragua, April 2o.-A Sc
we're explosion occurred here the night
of April 16. A large two-story barrack,
situated near the Lake front and in the
center of the city was blown to frag-
ments. Between 100 and 200 officers
and soldiers are reported to have been
killed, and many soldiers and other
jured. A large number of houses near
the barrack, including the National
Hotel, the. Central telegraph station
and the National Palace were dam
aged or wrecked.
President Zelaya was absent at Ma
nagua on the day of the explosion, but
he hurriedly returned to Managua on
horseback. He has published a state
ment in which he says the disaster
was the work of conspirators. He says
that tons of dynamite, in addition to
a quantity of powder, were stored in
the barrack. The actual causes which
led to the explosion have not yet been
determined.
After the first explosion the police
notified the terror-stricken people to
leave the city temporarily. as it was
thought the burning building still con ,
tanned some dynamite. Large numbers
consequently fled to the suburbs. The
first explosion was followed by several
minor detonations, supposed to have
been caused by the explosion of pack
ages of gunpowder.
The people who fled the city on &C.
count of the explosions are returning
to- day Sunday. The fragments of
the numerous dead who were not
blown to atoms, are being buried.
The present lowest estimate of the
damage caused by the explosion in
houses. furniture, cannon and war
material, is 5.0OO,O0 pesos.

BRUSSELS FIERCE RIOTS.
Labor Council Calls Strike on and
Work viii Resume.

NNOIA ~ AAA
Brussels. April 20-At a general
council of the labor party held here to-
day it was resolved that work by the
strikers in all sections should be re-
sumed.
The council issued manifesto to the
workingmen to this effect this evening.
The anticipated announcement by the
crown of the dissolution of Parliament
has not yet been made.
The papers here contain vivid de-
scriptions of the riots which occurred
at Louvain near here last Friday. The
mob which was returning from the
station after meeting the Socialist dep
utes from Brussels, divided into bands,
one making for the residence of the
president of the chamber. Nj. Scholla-
crit, and the other for that of the min
lister of the interior, NJ. DeTrooz. The
first mentioned mob was led by man
of giant sta ture. flourishing a butcher
knife. After breaking through the
ranks of one squad of the civic guard,
the mob found its way blocked in
narrow lane by another
squad of the same organization. An
officer of the guard ran forward and
called upon the mob to halt, shouting
that otherwise he would order his men
to fire volley upon them. The rioters
disregarded this ORDER The officer was
about to give the command to- fire
when the giant leader of the rioters
leaped forward and seized the officers
throat with his big hands. He pinned
his against the wall and levelled pis-
toll at his head. Another officer yelled
the order to fire and plunged a bayonet
into the giants breast. The foremost
of the rioters grasped the bayonets of
the guards levelled rifles in their bare
hands. The volley rang out and in the
narrow lane the mob was riddled with
bullets. Several were killed. The re-
mainder of the rioters broke and fled.
In the meantime the other band of
rioters had a similar but less tragic
experience. In collision between the
rioters and the guards, a drummer of
the latter broke from the ranks and
have no fear, as the guards were only
supplied with blank cartridges. Yell
ing, the mob rushed on. 1t was met
by volley from the guards. Two of
the rioters were killed and many were
wounded.
Saturday the dead lay in state at
the Maison des Proletaires. which had
been converted into mortuary chapel
by drapings, candles and crucitixes.
Crowds of workmen filed through the
building during the day The victims
were buried early Sunday morning.
There. were 25, 900 orderly spectators at
the interments. M. van der Velde and
other Socialist leaders made brief
speeches,
