treated. There Is no evidence that
the explosion was other than the re-
suit of fire, such as that to which
any factory is subject. The central
point of the volcanolike upheaval was
In the heart Of the working district
OF suburban town. At 6:45 p. m. a
series of explosions suddenly trans
formed the works into fiery furn-
ace, and great masses Of burning
liquid and timber and red hot iron
were hurled high in the air.
Mingled with the deafening crash
of beams and girders were cries from
the working people. An adjoining
flour mill. in which women and girls
were employed, was engulfed.
An official announcement in regard
to the explosion was given out:
"The explosion appears to have In
volved practically all the explosives
in the factory, which was itself COM
pletly destroyed. Fires were caused
in neighboring warehouses and fac.
tories, one of the largest of which was
an important flour mill. The explo-
sion was felt for n great distance.
Three rows of small houses in the
immediate neighborhood were practi-
cally demolished and considerable
damage was occasioned TO other prop.

Berlin. Jan 2O.-The British steamer
Yarrowdale was brought into harboi
on Dec. 81 as prize by prize crew
OF sixteen men, says an official state
ment. She carried 1863 prisoners, the
crews OF steamers captured by q
German auxiliary cruiser In the Allan
tic ocean
The prisoners on the Yarrowdale
were from one Norwegian and seven
British vessels. The cargoes OF the
captured vessels, the statement adds
consisted principally of war material
for the entente allies and foodstuffs
Three OF the vessels sunk were armed
British merchantmen.
The bringing in OF the Yarrowdale
the statement continues, had beer
kept secret for military reasons. bu,
In view of the statement OF the Brit

the raider with 400 men OF the crews
OF sunken vessels, who were to be

While the Berlin dispatch does not
mention the port into which the Var.

II seems probable that II was a Ger.

says that the 400 captives on board,
including 103 ncutrals "who had taken

removed as prisoners OF war. In q

TICKETS SELL BRlSKLY
FOR MOSS.LEWERS RECITAL

Tickets are selling briskly for the
Moss-Lewers recital, which promises
to be a social and artistic event Of
the week. The attractive little Lanai
theater at Laniakea will without
doubt be we'll filled Saturday evening,
when these two we'll known artists
will present a program full Of interest.
Arthur Bergh's arrangement OF
musical accompaniment to the read
ing of Edgar Allen Poe's famous
poem, THE Raven" has not been
heard before in Honolulu. It will be
the feature of the program Saturday
evening at the Lanai theater, and Is
sure to prove interesting and enjoy
able. 1t is considered much the best
of the several musical settings which
the poem has received in recent
years, and has been used as a pro-
gram number by David Bispham, the
former star of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, in several Of his concert
tours in the United States.
The latter half of the program will
be the presentation Of Oscar Wildes
poem, The Ballad of Reading Gaol,"
interpreted by Mr.. Levers to a new
musical arrangement by Mr.. Moss. A
number are looking forward to this
new rendition with lively anticipations
of novelty and interest. Other must
cal numbers will be added by Mr..
Moss, and few hours of real artistic
enjoyment are In store for those who
attend. Tickets may be obtained at
the Laniakea gift shop or of Mr. Moss.
