The Explosion on the North CarOIlna

Naples, Italy, July l3.-Yesterdsy's
gas explosion on board the United
states armored cruiser North Osrolipa,
lyiug at anchor at the end OF the Santa
Lucia barber, hslfa mile from the docks,
was far more serious than WAS at first
reported, the officers OF the ship seeking
to suppress the news and minimize the
danger into which the great ship had
been plunged. The officers at first
sought to suppress the fact that Ensign
Hugh X. Aiken, Of New Orleans, he'd
been killed aud that Engineer MskslOu
was so seriously injured that he will
probably lose both Of his eyes.
1t develops, however, that after the
explosion in the coal bins a fire ensued,
which, for a time, threatened to reach the
powder magazine and blow up the ship.
The sailors aud marines on the North
Carolina answered hurriclly TO the fire
call, and began fighting the blaze with
vigor, realizing that if the flames ever
reached the heavily loaded magazine
there would be a calamity. Signals
we're Immediately flashed to the other
ships of the American feet lying at
anchor in the barber, and they hurried
many boat loads Of marines to the North
Carolina to aid in suppressiDg the fire.
This prompt aid from the other ships of
the fleet, it is ssid today, Is the only
thing that prevented the flames from
reaching the magazine. The accident,
according to latest reports, WAS due TO
the fact that Engineer MskalOu entered
the coal bold With a lighted candle in
hia hand.

Orangemen and Catholics Fight,


London, July 13.-All the hospitals
at Belfast and Liverpool are filled with
victims of yesterdays rioting between
the Roman Catholics and the Orange
men, which followed the annual cele.
bration of the Orangemen. The riotlug
was continued all day yesterday and
grew to its most serious stage last night
in Belfast, where the rioters repeatedly
turned on the police and routed them.
As soon as the police we're driven back,
the rioters separated into clans and be-
gan fighting among themselves. FL
nslly force of 800 policemen we're
msssed against the principal squad Of
the rioters and a pitched battle, which
lasted for more than an hour, followed.
The police we're compelled to swing
right and left with their clubs, and
cracked many a skull before the rioters
were finally dispersed. Many stores in
the quarters of Belfast, where the riots
grew most serious, were sacked during
the melee, thieves taking advantage of
the tights to ply their trade. The Losses
are eaid to be very heavy. Nearly all
the windows in one section of the city
we're smashed by flying rocks.

Most respectfully and truly,
Col. James Mann yesterday made the
followinp abatement Ia Richmond:

at has come to my knowledge that there
will be published this afternoon certain let
ters supposed to have been written by Judge
Mann 10 General Malone in 1879 and 1880.
have endeavored to see the letters before
they we're published. but have been unable
to see them or learn their contents. Judge
Mann is out of the city and l cannot get In
touch with him at this time. can only say
now that for many years after the war Judge
Mann and General Malone, whom he had
known since boyhood. we're close personal
friends. They were associated in some bust
ness enterprises and Judge Mann yves attor-
ney for General Malone in some matters IN
Nottoway. He did not, however, participate
with General Malone in organizing the read
jusier party, although their personal friend
ship continued; in fact. he voted against the
readjusters in the election Of 1890. 1t will
be recalled that the fight in 1879 was on the
debt question between the readjusters aud the
funders. and that General Malone did not
leave the conservative or democratic party
until some time fer he took his seat in the
senste, which was, think, in March, 1881
Judge Mann. Of course, has never voted the
republican ticket, or ia any way given the
republicans aid or comfort. He has certainly
never applied to a republican president fer
lie appointment, as Mr.. Tucker has done in
very recent years"
