AWAITING ACTION BY
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF
The Question of Camp or No Camp
for the National Guard May Be
Answered To-Morrow.
The first orders for the blouses for the
men of the National Guarl have been
filled and the garments were distributed,
but it was found there were not enough
to fill the requisitions, so the uniform
board directed Mandel. Pursch & Co. and
the Pettlbone Company, the contractors,
to furnish several hundred more, the
work being divided between the two firms.
The first named firm refused to accept
the order, stating that it had enough of
National Guard contracts. The order was
then placed with the other firm.
It is expected that to-morrow the com
mander-in-chief will announce his de
cision in relation to the site of Santa
Cruz recommended for the school of in
struction for the guard. If it should be
favorable it is almost certain that a di
vision camp will be ordered, despite tho
aversion or some of the regiments. It is
said that if the camp is ordered it will
be purely a military one, without dally
dress parade and reviews, and that but
one review will be had, that to be on the
occasion of the visit of the commander-in
chicf.
Delay seems to be the rule in the First
Regiment of Infantry. There was delay
in petting it back into the guard after the
return from Manila, there was more delay
in the matter of electing line officers and
now there is delay in ordering elections to
fill vacancies by reason of several of the
line officers having failed to qualify. This
latter delay prevents the election of field
officers. These delays have in a great
measure discouraged the enlisted men.
who. when they signed the rolls, expected
to see the regiment in full operation
within a month after it was accepted.

SANTA CRUZ. April 28.— Slumbering
Santa Cruz was startled this morning at
2:60 o'clock by a force that shook things
up for several seconds, and a great re
port, followed by a loud rumbling sound
as the noise reverberated and resounded
down San Lorenzo Canyon, was evidence
enough that a heavy explosion had taken
place at the California Powder Works.
It was the smallest of the two glaze
mills and contained two cylinders with a
charge of nearly four tons of powder. J.
E. White and Sam Dunn, the men who
run tho two glaze mills at night, had Just
left the smaller one a few minutes before
it went up, and the cause of the explosion
is not known, as all was In safe running
order when the men left. No one was
killed or injured. '
The building was totally destroyed by
the explosion, and the only thing that
marks the spot where it stood is a large
hole. Even the concrete foundation under
the machinery, which was about eight feet
deep, was disposed of as though it were
sawdust. The large high board fence
along the Big Tree road was blown down
for a distance of 200 yards by the force,
and to one side of the road lies the elec
tric motor, which was blown fifty yards
or more.
The warehouse containing soda was par
tially destroyed, and the burning of the
contents lighted up the heavens for some
length of time.
The big glaze mill, which was but re
cently built to replace the one blown up
six months ago, and which is about 200
yards distant, was badly damaged.
The flying pieces of debris, machinery,
etc tore through its roof, and becoming
entangled among Its machinery stopped its
workings. The windows and doors were
torn out by the concussion.
The machinery and fragments of the
building in which the explosion occurred
are scattered far and wide among the
trees and brush that cover the hills.
This mill was built about a year ago
and the damage can only be roughly esti
mated but it amounts to several thou
sand dollars. The mill will be replaced
by a new one. __^
