Everys thing went smoothly and there were no ins lents until the column, marching south on nd boulevard, was just sing Oakwood boulevard. Then a terrific explosion oe~ curred. ‘The men on the calsson, supposed to be Donovan and Doyle, were literally blown to pleces, and others were thrown many feet by the violence of the concussion, Four of the horses drawing the caisson fell n thelr tracks, shot through and horribly man- gled, while three others were blown fifty fect ahead against the trees on the boule vard, dying instantly. The calsson was blown to pieces, not a picce larger than a man’s hand being found. The boulevard looked like a battlefield. There was a quick series of explosions after the first report, and shrapnel shot rained like hail among the trees on the boulevard and plerced the surrounding dwellings. The concussion broke every window in the houseg for blocks away. The walls and roofs showcd the terrible effects of the explosion. The rear part of the calsson lay secattered over the ground. With the explosion came the confusion of the troops, and for a moment the men and officers seemed powerless to move. To this was added the fright of the occupants of the surrounding houses, who: ran screaming from their dwellings, only to bo sickened by the sight in the street. A still alarm, of course, had been turned in, and with the department came the stock rds patrol wagon. The wagon was sent to the station and It returned with twenty-five men under command of Lieus tenant Morrissey. He then telephoned to Hyde Park for relnforcements and Captain Dollar arrived with twenty-five more men Later Assistant Inspector Fitzpatrick and Licutenant Bonfleld arrived. It was some little time before the two dead artillerymen could be found. One of them, mangled beyond recognition but supposed to be Doyle, had been blown over a board sign twenty-five feet high and was found In the vacant lot behind it. One leg and an arm were gone. The other man, supposed to be Donovan, had been thrown about 00 fect diagonally to the right, and was found in a vacant lot near the Lake Shore tracks. Joseph Gaylor was found near where he was struck Great damage was wrought by the exs plosion to the neighboring property, Wine dows in most of the surrounding houses sustalned much damage, it being estimated at $10,000, General Miles directed Captain Micheler and Colonel Wilotson of the commissary department and a former commander of the battery, to go to the scene of the age cident and secure a report of the affair, On the return of Wilotson ho gave the fols lowing account of the accident, preparatory to writing his report: EXPLANATION OF THE COLONEL. “The command, under escort of cavalry, Its marching exercise.
