 The force of the explosion was so great that windows were broken in this oityl and a number of people were knocked down by the shock.
 The origin of the explosion is a mystery which the navy yard officials are trying to fathom. Early reports that the disaster was due to German spy activities are secuted by the off, cials who declare that there was no possibility of the explosion occurring from outside sources.

By Associated Press.

AMSTERDAM, July 10-Reports reaching here from Berlin indicate that the breach between the kaiser and certain of hls ministers, rumored to exist for some time. has been grad ually widening until the emperor has decided to ask for the resignation of two or them.
 The reports say that the two men who are scheduled to retire to private life are Vice Chancellor HeIlferich and Foreign Secretary Zimmerman
 The kaiser is reported as much d1s- gruntled with the latter, owing to his crude handling of the German effort to enlist Mexico and Japan in a war with the United States.
 Since the exposure of the Thinner man plot the kaiser is said to have displayed frequent signs of irritation with Zimmerman's methods and is thought to have had hls resignation in mind for some time.
 The disgruntlement of the emperor over he vice chancellor is said to have it's rise in the action of the minister in espousing the Prussian electoral franchise proposals The kaiser is said to have been greatly displeased with officials who favored 
 the proposed reforms.
