DEATH-DEALING DYNAMITE
A Terrible Catastrophe at
Santander, Spain.
Hundreds ot Lives Lost by an
Explosion and Fire.
Great. Damage to Sliippincr, Wharves
and Other Property.
The Greater Portion of the City De
stioyed —The Gonrsor of the
Province and Many Other
Notables Killed.
By the Associated Pres».
Maduiu, Nov. 4.—From 800, a village
near Santander, tbe capital of the prov
ince of that name, comoH a frightful
story of an explosion, fire, havoc and
death. The British steamer Volo, with
a cargo of dynamite, arrived at Santan
der. The fact of the explosive
being on board was not known
to the authorities. Last evening
the vessel took fire. The fire depart
ment hurried to the ecene to prevent
tbe spread of the fteineg to other shi«jV
plog, to the docks and the adjoining
houses. The governor of the province,
the chief municipal officers and many
leading citizens were superintending the
work oi subduing the flame*.
Just as tbe news spread that the ves
sel contained dynamite and the people
started panic-stricken from the scene,
the flames reached the terrible cargo.
With a deafening roar it exploded, scat
tering death, fire and destruction on
every side. The wharves, shipping and
neighboring houses were torn to frag
ments. Tbe whole city was shaken as
if by an earthquake, and windows were
shattered in every house for miles
around.
Among the prominent people missing
is the governor of the province, who was
last seen on the dock fighting tbe flanvs
iv the front rank. Others supposed to
be dead include several representatives
of the muricipal and provincial govern
ments, besides many citizens.
Fire at once broke out in? the ruins of
the shattered buildings an.l spread to
those still standing with great rapidity.
The inhabitants were so dazed by the
shock of the explosion that thoy were
unable for a long time to do anything to
stay tbe spread of tbe fire, which, as
this dispatch wai sent, was eatinv.its ,
way from house to houße, threatecw/"
th« destruction ol the entire, cii.c.
The explosion threw down all the
wires, cutting off telegraphic com
munication with tbe city, hence
the tirst news came from 800.
Finally communication with the city
was restored, and tbe adjacent country
and all tbe villages in the neighborhood
sent fire apparatus to the scene, and a
strong, combined effort is being made to
save the rest of tbe city.
All sorts of reports are current as to
the lose of life, ranging from 100 down
to 50. The rapid spread of the fire pre
vented any systematic attempt at recov
ering bodies or learning the number of
tbe dead
It is reported that in addition to tbe
killed already mentioned the president
of tbe provincial council, a colonel and
chief officers of the civic guard were seri
ously wounded. It is also said that the
whole city is likely to be destroyed and
a population of over 80,000 rendered
homeless. A .dreadful panic prevailed
on all sides. Engines from many points
have arrived and are making a deter
mined stand againet tbe flames.
Private telegrams say over a thousand
people met their death by fire and an
explosion at Santander. In addition, a
transatlantic, steamer was burned and
40 of her crew perished.
All those on board or near the dyna
mite Bteamer, and all those on board a
tugboat alongside hnr, as well an the of
ficers find crew of the trans-Atlantic
liner Alphonso XII were killed by the
explosion. The body of jhe civil gover
nor was recovered, aa well as tbe
bodies of a number of other of
ficals. ; Among those reported killed is
the Marquis Pombo. It is ascertained
that the dynamite loaded steamer was
the Cabo Muchicaco, belonging to Bil
boa. and not a British steamer, as at that
reported.
Every possible assistance has been sent
to Santander, where hundreds of doc
tors are already at work. Troops Bent
to the epot are also rendering great ser
vice in blowing up buildings across the
pathway of the flames and the districts
still threatened with conflagration.
Mo definite estimate of the loss of life
was received ,up to the hour this dis
patch was sent, but there has yet been
no denial of the statements made in pri
vate and other dispatches to the effect
that tbe death list will be figured by
tboueande instead of by hundreds.
It is now officially estimated that the
dead will number over 300, The num
ber of missing and injured is enormous.
Many of tbe injured are dying, owing to
want of prompt medical aoeistance.

CAPSIZING OF A YAWL.
TEN MEN DROWSED IN NEW
YORK HARBOR.
Twenty-two Alan Were Koturnlni; from
Work in a Hoat When the Wavos
Upset It—Twelve Were
Rescued.
New Yohk, Nov. 4.—Ten lives were
lost by the capsizing of a yawl in the
lower bay at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
The drowned are: John Crosby of New
York, Charles Drudge of Brooklyn, Ed
ward Kenney of New York, Benjamin
McClrire of New York, Thomas Uoey of
Brooklyn, Cnarles Smith of Brooklyn,
James Malloy of Brooklyn, Albert Nor
man, Tompkinsville, S. 1., Leonard
Wanzer of Amity ville, L. I. John Bloom.
;Twenty-two laborers employed on a
new building on Hoffman island em
barked in a ?,0-foot yawl shortly after
jpooa K. return to their homeß. The sea
In/ thef bay was running v«ry high, but
tue yawl successfully battled with the
waves until within 400 feet of
the long dock at South beach,
where the men were to diß
embark. The sail had just been low
ered when v sudden eqnall struck the
boat. By quick work tbe yawl was kept
from overturning, but the sea washed
completely over the craft several times.
For a few minutes the men were suc
cessful in keeping the yawl afloat, but a
large wave struck the boat and filled her
completely. The yawl sank, leaving
the 22 men struggling in the water.
Small boats were hurriedly manned and
sent out. Before the rescuers could
reach the spot where the man were
struggling in the water ten had gone
down for the last time. One body was
recovered. Charles Ssvenwright, while
struggling, became unconscious and
was washed upon the beach. He was
soon revived. The other 11 men were
picked up and landed at South beach.
UNPAID TAILOR HILLS.
Consul Hnge's I>«p»rture for His New
Post Rudely Deluyed.
Chicago, Nov. 4.—A Daily News
Washington special says: It transpires
that two unpaid tailor bills which inter
vened to detain J. Hampton Hoge of
Virginia, the new consul to Amoy, at
San Francisco on tbe eve of ins embar
kation, will also necessitate bis return
to Washington and an explanation to
the president and tbe state department.
Just before Hoga left for San Francisco
he went to a fashionable tailor here, or
dered several euits of clothes and left
without settling for them. The matter
was brought to the attention of Presi
dent Cleveland, who is diplomatic
enough to believe that even an Amer
ican consul ought to pay promptly for
his wea'ing apparel. Whilo there are
other charges pending against Hoge at
tbe state department, these are not re
garded seriously, and it is semi-officinllv
stated that when Hoge has made peace
with his tailors he will be permited to
pursue his j jurnov to Amoy.

Exciting Scenes in Chicago's
Council Chamber.
A. Shameful Scramble for a
Dead Man's Shoes.
The Memory of the Murdered Mayor
Deeply Disgraced.
Aldermen Engage In a Freo Fight Over
the Temporary Mayorship — The
Police Called Iv to Ouell
the How.
By the AFfoclated Press.
Chicago, Nov. 4.—Such scenes were
never beiore enacted in the city council
chamber of tbia city aa took placo to
day. Before the crepe-draped speaker's
desk stood two aldermen, political op
ponents, each declaring himself chair
man o! the body. Tbe reading clerk
leaped upon (he back of one contestant
and tried to eject him. Another clerk
tore up a resolution because it was not
in line with what his party desired.
Over the sombre-draped rail of the
speaker's stand leaped another alder
man upon the back of the clerk, and
his colleagues flocked to bia aid. Upon
him jumped an alderman of the oppos
ing faction, and, clutching the throat of
the man who by force was trying
to get before the council that which
should legally have been received.
Police officials ruebed into the enclosure
to separate the struggling aldermen,
and in the fight that ensued the crepe
hung about the desk of the dead mayor
waa rent, torn and trampled under foot.
Men, who, three days ago, spent money
and labor to honor Mayor Harrison, dis
graced his memory today by a disrepu
table brawl over tne right to sit for 20
minutes in his chair. Tonight the
council chamber is guarded by police
officers and no one is allowed to enter.
The rivalry for tbe chairmanship of
the meeting was co intense that a num
ber of fist fights occurred in the cham
ber almost as soon as the session
opened.
Matters finally quieted down, Alder
man McGilien, Democrat, with the ac-
Bistance of Alderman Swift, the Repub
lican caucus nominee for mayor, being
chosen chairman of the council, and a
resolution passed for holding a special
election tbe third Tuesday of this
month, for mayor. Pending that elec
tion, however, it was necessary to elect
a mayor pro tern, and this precipitated
another scene of disorder, in which the
police were called in to preserve order.
Meantime great crowds gathered
outside the city hall and special
details of police were necessary to keep
them back. The council finally got
down to business. Swift was nominated
for mayor pro tern by the Republicans,
McGilien by the Democrats. The vote
resulted 31 for Swift, 33 for McGilien,
and one blank. The chair ruled no
election. The Republicans protested
and left the chamber, but the Demo
crats, fearing a trick, remained in the
chamber. At the end oi an hour the
Itepublicans returned and the session
was regularly adjourned. Counsel was
called in but wr.s unable to decide
whether or not Swift was elected.
It now appears that when the Repub
licans withdrew from the meeting tbev
assembled in the ante-room with 38
members present, more than a quorum,
and voted solidly for Swift for Mayor,
and that he afterwards took the oath of
office.
The matter will now rest until tbe
regular meeting of the council Monday
night.

QUADRUPLE LYNCHING.
A Family or Hnnae-lturnera Hanged In
Eut Tenneaaae.
Fayktikville, Term., Nov. 4.—Early
this morning on the farm of Jack Dan
iels, near Lynchburg, Ned Waggoner,
his son Will and daughter Mary, and
his son-in-law, Sam Motlow, were found
banging to a tree. All were colored, and
the only cause assigned for their lynch
ing is that they are supposed to have
been implicated in numerous barn burn
ings which have taken place recently in
Moore and Lincoln counties. There is no
clue as to tbe perpetrators.
Another account says a mob of over
200, all mounted and some masked, from
the west end of Moore county, did the
lynching, and gives the name of Mot
low's wife, Eliza, as one of the
victims, instead of Waggoner's daugh
ter. It says Waggoner's wife was terri
bly whipped and given three days to
leave the county. Henry Motlow and
Jeff Wise, a boy 12 yeara old, were in
the house at the time, but did not
recognize any of the lynchers. All the
negroeß hanged are said to be desperate
characters and the mob made sure of
their guilt, some of its members having
overheard them making plana to burn
barns and houses.
The trouble originated in the convic
tion of Ed. Waggoner and his sentence
to the penitentiary last year for stealing
wheat. Sam Motlow's wife last year
robbed tbe house of a man named
Hobbs and then burned it. Motlow was
a desperate character and recently tried
to kill a white man.

By the Associated Press,
Washington, Nov, 4. —A nnmhe- of
officers in citizen's dress have been dn
tailed to guavd the White Hottne and
protect the life of the president which
is supposed to be in danger from a mur
derous crank who is at large in the city.
List Wednesday the-e arrived in
Waßhi.igton a man who keeps a restau
rant in Boise City, Idaho. The name of
tbe man, the police for the present re
fuse to divulgs. Yesterday he went to
tbe chief of police and told his story.
He said about a week ago a miner, who
who was out of employment, came to hia
! restaurant and in tbe midst of a heated
discußsion about the silver question and
the effect of the repeal bill on the min
ing interests of the west, declared with,
em phasia that he was going to Wash*

unconditionally, he would kill tbe man
whom he knew should be held respon

The restaurant keeper did not know,
1 the man, bnt aa he disappeared from'
I Boise he concluded it was his duty to j
I come here and notify the authorities*'
He arrived on Wednesday and thatt.
afternoon strolled up to the White)
House promenade, and the first, person
he Baw was the miner with whom he
had tbe altercation. Aa soon as the man'
saw him he took to hie heels. Too res

a case of mistaken identity, and he said
nothing to anybody until tbe next day,
when he again went to the White House
and saw the same man lurking there —
no mistake. He went to the chief of
i police, giving a full description of the
] man.
As a precautionary measure a number
jof officers have been detailed to guard ,
i tbe White House, and detectives are
I looking for the man who avows himself,
!to be the intended assassin. The police
| declare they do not believe there is any ,
; danger, but say precaution is being
| taken to guard against possible coutin
! genciea in the matter. The affair is be
j ing kept very quiei.
