The Explosion 10 Havana

plies from this city have been rushed to
the scene.
Although leading 10 the general be-
lief that the explosion Was purely &c.
cidenlsl, the government ofhcisls are
taking no chances Of an uprising. The
rural guards rushed to the scene are the
pick OF the force, oil men whose loyalty
is unquestloned. The fact that none OF
the men actively engaged 10 the work OF
transferring the explosive survived is
likely to make the work OF establishing the
exact responsibility difficult II not i'm
possible. This city is filled with rumora
Of plot, bnt the officials generally dis
credit them aud say all danger OF 40
uprising disappeared with the recent sr'
rest OF General Estenoz.
There we're 5000 pounds Of dynamite
10 the boxes stored In the regular powder
nsgszine when the explosion occurred.
After making az examination OF the
vicinity, General Monlesguio expressed
the belief that the cause Of the explo-
zion was the careless handling of tbe
boxes OF dynamite, although he Is sill
investigating the theory that 1t was set
of by sympsthizsrs with plot against
the present government.
Mott OF the uneducstsd inhsbitlnts
do not believe the dissstsr WAS csued
by human agency, but that 1t was a
visitation from heaven. They attribute
1t to Hslley's comet, and all attempts
to bring them on. of their panic stricken,
helpless state have so far proven futile.
CHARLES Wells, an American engineer,
was among those killed in the explosion.
1t Is believed that the explosion WAS
caused by osrpeDtsr's attempt to nail

KILLED BY EXPLOSION.

A dispatch from Havana says the bar
racks of the Rural Guards at Pinar del
Rio was blown up at 3 O'Clock yesterday
| afternoon and 100 persons were killed.
Owing to the race disturbances, the
dynamite being used on tia various pub
lie works in that section had been col
lected and stored in the barracks, the
quantity there yesterday being 5000
pounds. Orders had been given for the
removal of the dynamite yesterday to
the regular powder magazines, and the
government reports state that the explo-
sion occurred while this WAS being done.
However, this was the day fixed by the
negro conspiTators for an uprising, the
earth entering the tail OF HalIey's comet
to be the signal, and many entertain the
belief that the explosion was the first
overt act of the rovolutionists.
The barracks in which were quarter
ed the rurales, a number of public works
employees. and officers families. was
completely destroyed Commandant
Ravena with all his family and other
families are among the killed. corpo-
raj of rurales is the only survivor.
Many buildings In the vicinity of the
barracks were wrecked
There is the most intense excitement,
both at Pinar del Rio and Havana, every
one remembering the aboritive attempt
to start a revolution some time ego by
numbering the sleeping rurales in their
barracks at Gunabacoa, a few miles from
Havana, which atrocity the late Senator
Norma del Gado instigated.

tenor, who is now in jail awaiting trial,
is alleged to have been pl aiming, was, it
Is said, arranged to start simultaneously
