ship lena, lying off this city
The warship blew up, due to an eX-
plosion of a compressed air torpedo on

Nothing like a detailed account OF
the disaster can be given for several
hours, so great is the confusion.
There We're $50 officers and men on
board at the time of the disaster. but
many jumped into the water. Further
explosions are feared.
The lena was undergoing an inspec-
tion of machinery in the basin of Mis-
sionary dock She was flying the flag
of Rear Admiral Nanceron. The COM
mander of the vessel was Captain Adj
gard.
The windows in the workshops
around the scene of the explosion were
broken and the electric wires broke
down all about the dock.
shell weighing twenty pounds was
hurled a quarter of mile.
Panic prevailed among the employees
of the arsenal who We're returning from
lunch when the magazine blew up.
Many made q rush towards the dock,
whence clouds of smoke We're arising.
No one seemed to know what hal
happened until someone shouted:
The lena has blown up"
An officer then shouted:
Save yourselves"
All the workmen rushed for the near.
est exit from the arsenal.

ENGINEER De WiTTE
DOES SOME BLASTING

Nermi4lion, S. D., March l3 -Gogern.
mont Engineer w. ID. DeWtte, Monday
afternoon used some government pow '
de. and blew up the ice gorge which
Sunday night formed across the Ner-
million river Three ten pound charges
We're set off under the ice and thu
force of the explosion MAS sufficient tc
loosen enough ice to ALLOW a channel
of clear water to rush through All
of the ice was not blown out because it
was feared that it would prove des-
tructive TO the big air line bridge
across the Nermillion.
The citizens of Nermillion wer. glad
ito ut last get some effective work from
government efforts. Some criticism
was made because DeWittee did not get
out Sunday and maze some effort at
breaking up the ice. He says that
Quinn. of Sioux City, not to work on
Sunday. but the business men felt that
he should have attempted something in
spite of those orders.
The criticism has aroused Mr.. De
Witte TO more active efforts He stated
that he will take the boats which We're
expected to arrive from Sioux city last
night and start out for IL weeks stay,
If 1t takes that long to accomplish re-
suits. He expects to take his men with
him and go as far possible on a
hunt for the gorge that is now back
ING liit water up. II ne Istl!S III lctioi IL
ing the spot where he can employ pow
der he says that he will sleep ont in
the boats if necessary and continue
pushing forward on "Wednesday.
Two wooden bridges across Clay
creek which emptes into the Nermillion
river just above the town have gone
out The big air line bridge has been
much weakened and ii is feared that 1T
will go out too. The backwater from
the Missouri is running into the Clay
and Nermilion rivers.
There is no telephone or telegra phi
communication between here and
Meckling. Efforts to reach Meckling
by way of Yankton have also failed.
Alex Chaussee made the trip overland
from MeclSling to Nermillion. He says
that when he left Mecklng the water
Was rising rapidly about the town and
that the inhabitants We're making prep
araticns 10 protect themselves against
Hooded streets and houses. Ii the wa
ter continues to rise he said that he
could not see how the town can escape
without serious damage TO property.

nance of a state or national soldiers

tanned.
1t was not certain to the authorities
OF the local home when the law con-
tenpated the closing the canteen, but
as congress adjourned and it was de-
sired not to take any chances of en-
dangelins the appropriations, the can
teen was closed at once.
Both he local police authorities and
the officers of the home declare that
the maintenance of the canteen as an
alternative to the frequenting of sa-
looms outside by the veterans was con-
duCive to discipline

FOR RURAL CARRIER

Rochester, n. Y. March l4.-B. ID.
Toan, of this city, has a new invention
In the way of Il rural mail cabinet, and
1T has the hearty Endorsement of all
who have seen it.
The invention consists of postal belt
composed of pockets for each family
on the route This belt is in sections,
TO be taken into the office, and when
flied returned TO q receptacle about
two feet wide and two and one-half
feet high.
1t is made dust proof and water
tight, so that the mail is sure to be
clean when delivered There are two
pockets for such matter as cannot be
placed in the belts. The merit Of the
device consists in giving the carriers
on the road the same facilities tor
