whereupon the Turks were heavily re

London, A p ril 28.— A tremendous
explosion occurred on the undergound
railway at 5:30 this evening, as a train
filled with men from th ecity was mak
ing its usual stop at the Aldersgate sta
tion. The glass roof of the station was
blown out. and the platform was strewn
with debris. Many o f the gaslights in
the waiting-rooms and on the platforms
were extinguished, and the sution was
left in semi-darkness. A panic ensued.
When comparative quiet had teen re
store-1. it was found that a first-class
coach had been wrecked, and that its
occupants were lying about maimed and
bleeding. Ten of the injured were
found to be in a precarious condition,
and were rem »ved to the hospital*. A
number o f persons who were standing
on tbe platform were also hurt. Much
o f the wreckage was hurled across the
stat ion.
The cause of tbe explosion is not
known, but it is believe«! to have been
the result o f an accumulation of gas
which became ignited in some way.
Many persons, however, believe the dis
aster wa* not doe to accident, bin was
caused by the explosion of a bomb,
which had been placed in the sution
with the intention o f wrecking it.

New York. A pril 2A — A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
~u.a!!p«ox ha* made it# appearance in
Owen Melton, an
Catana* prison.
American correspondent and a member
of the Competitor crew, contrive»! to
sec 1 a cote to friend* here .under date
of April 18, in which be say«:
’ •smallpox has appeared in cell No.
4. in which there are four American*.
One prisoner has died aDd three others
have got the disease. I nursed a friend
named Gonzales, not knowing he had
smallpox, and so 1 suppose I w ill have
i t I can only hope for the best.”
This information was carried to Gen
era) Lee and he promptly informed tbe
United States government o f the state
if »ff»irt. also wrote A cting Captain-
General Ahumada inquiring if there
had teen smallpox in Cabanas, and
what steps had been taken to guard the
health of the Americans imprisoned
there.
A reply was received making
no statement of tbe prevalence of tbe
direare. but stating that the Americans
would be vaccinated at once.
It is thought here that the appear
ance of smallpox w ill make the Amer-
icaa government press for tbe release of
Melton and others, as it is understood
-pain has practically decided to liberate
teem. General Weyler is an obstacle
to the release of any Americans.
He
said iast week in Santa Clara that
A m erican* were set at liberty without
gool cause.
General W eyler’ s rerant declaration
t: at ‘■acta Clara is pacified means that
newspaper fighting there w ill be meager.
Nevertheless he admits that within
three days o f his declaration of tran
quility more than ninety rebels were
killed in the province. He says he will
do longer require any troop» to fill the
places of his killed and wounded, which
means simply that he has been told to
expect no more soldier* from Spain.
The situation in Banes, a seapmrt
town in Santiago de Cuba, now com
mands much attention here. The gun-
boat Galicia and the cruisers Nueva
España and Reina Mercedes are waiting
outside the narrows until three columns
sent by General Weyler have had time
to move on the rebels by land. The
insurgents have held the town since
Koloff’ s expedition landed there on
March 25. The harbor is one naturally
capable of easy defense, and it is said
the insurgents have placed torpedoes in
the channel.
It is most difficult to
learn any definite news of the recent
operations there, but it is plain that
tbe Spanish recognize the necessity of
moving in force against the town and
attempting to attack it simultaneously
by land and sea. for the purpose of pre
venting the rebels from continuing to
bold the pert.
General Gomez, according to the last
report?, has left Arroyo Blanco district
and moved nearer Trinidad. There is
a rumor that he may be elected presi
dent of the republic to succeed Cis
neros.
Another idea is that he ha*
decided to contest the possession of
Banes, and many who thought his siege
of Arroyo Blanco was a ruse to entice
M eyler into the country where moder
ate force might be attacked to advant
age, now believe that W eyler’s move
ment toward Banes w ill meet a steadv
resistance which w ill add to tbe evi
dence already piled up to disprove Gen
eral W eyler’s declaration of paeifica-
Uon.
K ip rrtu n le l on th. Floor o f a Car.

Police Judge Low yesterday on a charge
of expectorating on the floor o f a street
