The soldiers claim they are no longer in the United States service, and in- sist that they have all the rights of regular passengers while aboard transport. When the officers first gave the or- ders which caused the trouble, the men became so demonstrative that the Sig- nal Corps's company- was armed im- mediately and placed on guard. The officers of the guard have been instructed to carry out the orders re- garding discharged men working while aboard the transport and serious trouble is liable to break out any mo- ment. The discharged soldiers are not allowed the freedom of the ship. The officers Insist the men shall do the work which has been assigned to them, and further insist that the trans- port shall not leave the harbor until the men have satisfied the officers of their intention to behave themselves while at sea.

There were six sengers on board, five of whom sus tained broken legs. The other passen- ger and the crew of the car escaped without injury. The explosion lifted the car entirely off the track, destroying the trucks and demolishing the flooring. The car fell again on the trucks and in such a way as to imprison the injured passengers. These were rescued by the crew of the car. The report of the explosion was heard on the public square, three miles from the scene. There is no clew to the perpetrators of the disaster. ” | tained.
