@ Managua, Nicaragua, April 21.-A
severe eA2:osion occurred here the
night of April 16. A large 2-story
barrack, situated near the lake front
and In the center of the city, was
blown to fragments. Between 100
and 200 officers and soldiers are re-
ported to have been killed and many
lo.a1ers and other persons are report
ed tc have been injured. A large
number Of houses near the barracks,
Including the National hotel, the Gen.
trail telegraph station and the Nation
al palace were damaged or wrecked.
President Zelaya was absent at Ma
saya at the time Of the explosion, but
he hurriedly returned to Managua on
horseback. He has published a state
lnent In which he attributes the dis
aster to the work of conspirators. He
says that tons Of dynamite and large
quantity Of powder were stored in the
barrack. The actual causes which led
to the explosion have not yet been de-
telnined.
After the first explosion the police
notified the terrified people to tenn
porari]y leave the city, as it was
thought the burning building still con-
tanned dynamite. Large numbers con-
sequently fed to the suburbs.
The first explosion was followed by
several minor detonations, supposed
to have been caused by the explosion
Of packages of gunpowder.
The people who fed the city at the
time Of the explosions are now re-
turning. The fragments of the nu.
merous dead, who were not blown to
atoms, are being buried.
The present lowest estimate of the
damage caused by the explosion to
houses. furniture, cannon and war
material is 100000 pesetas.

THREE SCORE DEAD
STEAMER CITY OF PlTTs6URG
BURNS TO WATERS EDGE
- 49, NEAR CAIRO, ILLS.

FIRE Breaks Out Early In the Morn
ing and It's Progress Is So Rapie
That Fully Sixty People Are Gre
mated or Jump Into the River and
Are Drowned Survivors Of the Die
sster Suffer Terribly From Exposure.
Cairo, Ills, April 21.-The sidewheel
steamer City of Pittsburg, en- route
from Cincinnati to Memphis, was
burned to the waters edge early in
the morning at Turner's Landing, near
Olmstead, Ills, II miles from Mound
City. Ills, and "a miles from this city.
The early reports stated that IS lives
were lost and that many were badly
burned and otherwise injured, but the
list of casualties is not yet definitely
determined. Two boats and every
available craft from this city went to
the scene for relief.
Most of the passengers were still in
bed when Second Clerk Oliver Philips
gave the alarm. The engineers at
once started all the pumping engines,
while the crew brought all the hose
into play. Amid the streams of water
on all sides, the flames from the lower
deck and the dense clouds of smoke,
the passengers rushed from their
staterooms and frightful panic en-
sued. The appeals of the officers and
crew could rot appease the terror
stricken crowds that interte-'ed with
those throwing water on the flames, as
well as with those working with the
life boats. Few could adjust life pre-
sewers or do anything else for them
selves. The smoke was sitting.
Great clouds floated through the blaz-
ing steamer, choking the passengers
and adding to the terror. Life boats
were manned and every effort was
made to save the passengers from the
floating furnace of flames.
People from the shore went to help
in the work of rescue and boats laden
to their limit with passengers in the
scart attire they were able to gather
wele Landed at the river banks.
Survivors Suffered Terribly.
AS fast as boat could be emptied
it retU: ned to the Inflated steamer, the
heroic rescuers not waiting to catch a
breath Of rest. The burning steamer
was quickly headed to the bank, but
passengers had to jump off the stern
and in trying to swim ashore through
the swift current many were drowned.
Man, also persisted in the flames.
About 20 or 80 were taken off in the
yawi. The rest were picked up out
of the water. Help, except from peo-
pie living nearby, did not arrive until
$3.50 p. M, and the passengers, with
only night clothes and without food,
suffered terribly.
The fire started in the forward hatch
larboard and burned fercely VIXEN the
steamer ran ashore. Escapes were
made over the cabin railing. Very
few passengers or the crew were
aware of the fire until it was too late.
The captain and clerk claim that in all
50 persons have been accounted for,
leaving 60 persons lost or unaccounted
for.
The steamer Maud Kilgore, Captain
Cole, brought the survivors to this
place. and the several societies of the
city rendered all assistance in the
way CT clothing, etc. Just prior TO
the beats departure she underwear:
her annual inspection by United
States inspectors and was granted

ORIGIN Or LANGUAGE.

In al countries and in all ages men,
when addressing dogs, have used
words quite different from those
which they have used when addressing
other animals. Dogs alone they have
always addressed in the same language
which they use when addressing each
other. For every other domestic
animal they have a special langua sc,
and it is noticeable fact that each
Of these languages can be traced
back either to the first settlers of the
country in which it is now used or to
some country at the other end of the
globe. Almost all Europeans, when
they wish to stop horse say. "H0,"
or "Whoa.' lii like manner the o!G
Greeks and Romans said "Ohi," and
the HindOOs. as far back as 3,00G
years ago. said You" which is a
Sanscript word and means stop" An
English milkmaid, when she starts
to milk a COW, says, "Soh," and in

FABLE OF SPRINTING ROACH
How the Ant Played Upon His Weak
ness and Wor.

Once upon a time there was 4 roach
lived in hole in the wall next door
to a wise Old ant Now it happened
that the ant did not like the roach and
would gladly have murdered him but
for the roach's size and great strength,
which made the ant no match for him
in a contest OF strength.
The ant placed poison at tae roach
door, but the roach was wary and ate
it not. One evening, when the lady OF
the house came into tae room to look
for reaches, the ant called upon the
roach to come out Of his hole, hoping
the lady would Kill him, but the roach
heard her footste s and kept close
Next the ant tried to compass the de-
struction of the roach by daring him
10 climb up the side of the wall, hoping
tlat the roach would fail from great
height and break his neck. The roach,
however refused to Climb.
Now it happened that the roach was
a great sprinter and was very proud of
his ability to get over the ground in a
hurry The ant chanced to think of
tA!S, ana, gong 10 Ine ROACH, Cudl-
ienged him to foot race. The roach
accepted the challenge at once and
stated that he could run faster with
his front feet tied than any handy
legged ant in the whole house. The
ant selected the spot where the foot
race was to be run, which was across
yellow sheet OF paper on the window
sill. Hither both ant and the roach
went and halted at the edge Of the
sheet of paper.
Are you ready?' cried the roach.
Il am" shouted the ant
Co yelled the roach, and with
that started across the sheet of paper
g. dreadful pace, only to fall down
and stick fast in nauseous mire ere
he aad gone two inches. The ant did
not start at all, for we'll he knew that
the race course was across a sheet of
iiypaper.
