Washington, Nov. 8.—An explosion
and fire at 5>18 this afternoon wrecked
the supreme-court room and the room*
immediately adjoining it on the main
floor of the capitol. The damage is
enormous. The entire oentral-eastcru
part of the great marble pile from the
main floor to the subterranean base
ment, practically is a mass of ruins.
The force of the explosion was so heavy
th a t tho coping stones on the outer
walls, just east of the point where tiie
explosion occurred, wero bulged out
nearly two inches, nnd locked doors
were forced open from their hinges
qnite 150 feet from tiie scene of it.
Fire followed the explosion so quickly
as to reem practically simultaneous
with it.
Tiie explosion shoo* tho Immense
structure to its foundations, and was
heard several squares from the capitol.
It occurred in a small room tightly
inclosed by heavy stone walls in the
subterranean basement, immediately
below tiie main entrance to the old
capitol hnilding. In tills room was a
500-1 iglit gas meter, which was fed by
a four-incii main. Very little gas is
used in th a t part of the building, but
at the time of tiie explosion tiie gas had
not been turned off at tiie meter. The
meter itself was wrecked, and the gas
pouring from the main caught fire.
Tiie flame originating from tiie explo
sion darted up tho shaft of tho elevator,
which had been completely destroyed
by the force of the explosion, and oom-
liiunicated with tiie record-room of the
supreme court, the office of tiie m a r
shal of tiie court und tho supreme court
library.
,
Before the flames could he subdued,
the priceless documents in tiie reoord-
room had been almost totally destroyed,
and serious damage iiad been done in
tiie marshal's office and some minor
rooms in the immediate vicinity.
The library of tho supreme court, lo
cated immediately beneath tiie su
preme court room, was badly damaged
by fire, smoko and water, practically
destroying the great collection of law
reference books. Tiie library contained
about 30,000 volumes and was used not
only by tiie justices of tho supremo
court but by members of congress and
lawyeis piacticing before tiie supremo
court.
The most serious darnagos, in the
opinion of tiie justices of tiie supremo
court, is to tho records stored in tho
sub-basement. These included all of
tiie rocords of cases ami opinions ren
dered by the fathers ot tiie judiciary of
tiie government. Apparently tiie docu
ments in tliis room are either totally
destroyed or so badly damaged by fire
and water as to be useless.

Washington, Nov. 6 .—A complete
transformation of tiie geography ol
Central America occurred November 1
by tiie birth oi a now republic, tiie
United Stntoa of Central Amorica, and
tho disappearance ot tiie republics ol
Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador, ex
cept as states of tiie new Union. Senor
Corea, oliarge d ’affaires of these repnb-
lies dining th eir transition stage, lias
reooived detailed information of the
changes effected, and the form of the
government of the new republic.
As indicating tiie dignity and im
portance of tho United States of Cen
tral America, Senor Corea points out
th a t it has a population of aliout 3,000,-
000, an area of about 113,000 equate
miles, and a great stretch of seacoast
on tiie A tlantic and Pacific, and the
site of the Nicaragua canal, through
wiiich commerce will ultim ately pass
from ocean to ocean.
Tho general
character of the new government is
shown in a communication reoeived by
Senor Corea from the general assem
bly's se :rotary. It states tiie capital
is temporarily located at Ainapala, on
Tigro island, lying in the Gnlf of Fon-
aica. Tiie capital wil remain there u n
til thn congress Belocts a permanent
site for it.
Tiie constitntion provides for a presi
dent, elected for four years by the d i
rect vote of tho people, w ith a provi-
aion against im mediate re-election.
The president ia made commander in-
chief of the army and navy, and his
functions are much tiie same as those
of the persident of the United Statue.
The inauguration of tiie president is
fixed for March 15, next. Meantime
the executive power will tie directed
try a council of three, elected hy the
general assembly.
Tiie presidential
election occurs tiie first Sunday in De
cember, and at the same time represen
tatives to the new house of representa
tives will be elected. The legislative
power is given to a congress of two
houses, the senate being made up of six
senator* from each state, nnd three
fmm tiie federal distiict, while the
house of representatives has one repre
sentative from each 30,000 inhabitant*.
The federal Judiciary provided by the
constitntion is patterned after tho sys
tem of the United States, and indeed
thronghout tiie constitntion there is a
cloae resemblance to tiie system* in tiiis
oonntrr. The government* of N ica
ragua, Salvador and Honduras become
states, their present presidents giving
way to govornors.
