Every house in Sandford was more
or less damaged. Hardly pane of
glass was left. One home 500 yards
from the track was almost destroyed.
The shock was felt for 80 miles, and
felt like an earthquake.
Thousand Feet of Track Torn Up.
One thousand feet of the track was
torn up and a great hole shows where
the powder car stood. Wires and poles
were blown down for a distance of
nearly a quarter of a mile.
The explosion occurred a few min
utes after 9 o'clock, and for hours the
little hamlet OF Sandford was isolated
with its tragedy. The first aftermath
of the disaster resembled a scene from
the inferno. BY the light of lanterns
the farmers of the neighborhood
searched the fields for the dead and
dying, while about the burning cars,
where it was light enough to see the
horror. others sought to succor those
found in the blazing wreckage.
Rain POurs Down on Horror.
To add to the horror of it all a bit
ter cold rain fell pitilessly and fierce
wind was blowing. No description can
convey even a faint perception of
those awful moments of agony when
the MANNED ones. being slowly roasted
alive. cried. begged, and shrieked for
help-and the help they begged for so
piteously was impossible because no
power of human hand could have re-
moved the heavy steel and timbers
that held them while flames slowly de-
voured them. To many Of those death
must have come as a relief.
Taken 10 Hospitals.
The dead were taken to the morgue
either in this city or at Paris, ILL.,. IL
miles to the west of Sandford. Twen-
ty-two injured were taken TO the hos
pital in Paris and seven to st. Antho-
nys hospital in this city. Most of
those brought to AnthOny's were in the
rear coach when the explosion Oc-
Cured.
II was 2 o'clock in the morning, five
hours after the explosion, that the
first relief train reached Sandford.
This train was sent by the yardmaster
at Paris without orders.
1t was not until $3.50 in the morning
that complete relief and wrecking
reached the scene.

The American warships are destined

to remain there.
Rear Admiral Davis mission of mer-
cy to stricken Kingston came to its
abrupt and painful conclusion in con-
sequence of Governor Swettenham's
objection to the presence of American
sailors engaged in the work of clear
ing the streets. guarding the property,
and succoring the wounded and sick,
eliminating in the letter to the adj

Admiral Davis was greatly shocked
and panied. and paid a formal visit to
Governor Swettenham today, inform

Admiral Davis said that immediate
compliance with Governor Swetten-
hams request was the only course con-
sistent with the dignity of the United

Yankees Arrival Nettles Governor.
The friction between the governor
and the admiral began with the arrival
of the American warships, when the
governor objected to the firing of sa
lutte in his honor on the ground that
the citizens might mistake the firing
for new earthquake. He also declar
ed there was no necessity for Ameri-
can aid-that his government was fully
able to preserve order, tend the
wounded. and succor the homeless.
Nevertheless, Rear Admiral Davis
landed parties of bluejackets, who pa
trolled the streets. cleared the debris.
razed ruins, attended many of the
wounded. and won the highest praise
from citizens and military officers for
their excellent work.
Attempts to smooth Matters.
On the afternoon of the salute Incl
dent, Rear Admiral Davis wrote Gov
