declared, the revolutionists have
crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico.

CARGO OF DYNAMITE CAUSES
HAVOC.
Seven Men Blown to Atoms and YES
sci Blown to Splinters-Consider-
able Damage Done for Many Miles
Around-Eight Arrested.

New York, Feb. IA cargo OF
dynamite in transit from a freight
car to the hold of lighter moored at
Per No. Z, Communipaw, n. j., let go
at just one minute past noon to-day,
$50 yards south of the Jersey Cen
trail terminal of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey, and in the widespread
ruin that followed seven men are
known to have been killed, seven
more are missing, hundreds were
wounded and varying reports leave
from fifteen to twenty more unac-
counted for.
Thirty seems to be a conservative
estimate of the dead, and property
damage will hardly fall below $780,
900. The cause of the explosion is
variously attributed to the dropping
of a case of dynamite and to boiler
explosion on a boat. Just what was
the direct cause probably never will
be known.
The Jersey Central terminal was
wrecked; three ferryboats in the slips
were torn and splintered; lower Man
haitian, across the river, was shaken
from the street level to the top of
the Singer tower; severe damage was
done in Brooklyn and Staten Island,
and to the immigrant detention sta
ton on Ellis Island; the shock was
felt at Amityville, Long Island, 35
miles distant, and in New Jersey at
Long Branch, IS miles away. The
damage is so widely scattered that
it is impossible as yet to more than
roughly estimate it, but in Manhat-
tan alone it is placed at 100000,
on Ellis Island, at from $4,000 to
$4,000, and in all, $750,000 appears
to be fair estimate.
