PHILADELPHIA, April 30., Three terrific explosions
wrecked the Baldwin Locomotive munitions factory at Eddystone
Many were killed and from 100 to MOO were wounded.

sons, many of whom were women and girls, were killed, and prob
ably 200 more were injured. Nine buildings were destroyed and
machinery valued at millions was wrecked. Every building in the
entire plant was damaged. The explosion rocked Philadelphia like
an earthquake. Detachments of expert agents from the Depart
ment of Justice are investigating the original explosions. Govern
ment agents are proceeding on the theory that the explosions
were not accidental.
Many newspaper men and relatives of victims were arrested
this afternoon at the scene of the explosion. All photographers
were arrested and relatives were not permitted to visit the
morgues. It is constantly rumored that many foreigners have
been arrested. The cadet corps of the Pennsylvania Military
Academv is guarding the plant.
GERMANS REINFORCING THEIR LINES.
NEW YORK, April 10. The Pritish grand oll'ensisve is un
diminished. The Germans are reinforcing their line and desper
ately trying to repel the great allied "push." General Haig re
ported that 9000 prisoners had been taken, and United Press bat
tle front dispatches predict that the total would be brought up to
15,000. A new thrust was made around LaLassee, 12 miles north
of the present formed battlefields. The principal advance today
was along Vimy ridge and the Scai'pe River. Berlin and London
dispatched agreed as to the bitter combat. Southeast of Ypres
the Germans succeeded in penetrating the British line, but were
later thrown back. Berlin admit ted "considerable losses" around
Arras, the center of the British thrust- The spring 'ollensive
conies during the coldest weather for 50 years. A gale is blowing
snow and sleet, but the spirits of the men is unchanged.
HEAVY CASUALTY LIST EXPECTED.
LONDON, April 10. The British people are prepared for a
heavy casualty list, but are steeled to the sacrifice by the knowl
edge that General Haig's drive is a success. The British are oper
ating over a 50 mile front. The present drive is over 15 miles
across. It is rumored that the Teutons plan a strong retirement
to escape a flank movement.
GERMAN'S PAPERS WERE SEIZED.
PITTSBURG, April 10. Agents of the Department of Jus
tice this afternoon seized papers in the ollice of Walter Zacharias,
a German consulting engineer, which gave intimate details of the
German plans to tie up the Western Pennsylvania coal mines.
PLOT TO DYNAMITE CAPITOL.
WASHINGTON, April 10 The reported plots to dynamite
the Capitol have caused an increase in the guard to the Capitol
grounds. Fifty officers are on duty at nights and no one is allowed
to enter the grounds after sunset. Secret service operators in New
York uncovered the plot.
ARGENTINE RESISTS DEMANDS.
BUENOS AYRES, April 10. Argentine is not yielding to
British and American pressure to lift the wheat embargo unless
absolutely necessary. There is considerable feeling since the exact
.state of affairs was learned, following an acrimonious conference
between President Irigoye and the British Minister. England and
the United States are threatening a coal embargo unless the wheat
embargo is lifted- Argentine may use the entire navy to trans
port coal from Chile and Columbia.
WAR WITH GERMANY PROBABLE.
RIO DE JANEIRO, April 10. War seems more likely be
tween Brazil and Germany, than a mere diplomatic rupture. The
city is seething with a demand for instant hostilities. It is re-:
ported that Foreign Minister Muller has resigned. It is under- j
stood that passports for the German .Minister and the German '
Consul are already signed, ready for instant delivery. I
