Some were burned but more were

of some by administering morphine, of

Large Number Of Houses Including
National Hotel and Central Tele-
graph Station We're Damaged
by the Severe Shock.

Managua, Mica, April pa severe ex-
plosion occurred here on April 16. A large
two-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 reported to have
been killed and many soldiers and other
persons are reported to have been in
jured. large number Of houses near
the bsrrack, including the National Hotel,
the central telegraph station and the
national palace were damaged or wreck
ed.
President Zelaya was absent at Mazaya
at the time of the explosion but he hur-
riedly returned to Managua on horse
back. He has published a statement in
which he attributes the disaster to the
work of conspirators. He says that
tons of dynamite and a large quantity
of powder were stored In the barrack.
The actual causes which led to the ex-
plosion have not yet been determined.
After the first explosion the police noti-
fed the terrified people to temporarily
leave the city as 1t was thought the
burning building still contained dyna-
mite. Large numbers consequently 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.

time of the explosion are returning

atoms, are being buried.

damage caused by the explosion in
