FIVE KILLED. , Destruction Wrought by a Powder Explosion at New Orleans. New Orleans, April explosion took place yesterday opposite the French market. The explosion occurred in a grocery and shop chandlery kept by Charles Salathe and was caused by powder kept in the magazine. Salathe and his family, except two children, miraculously saved, were killed by the falling walls, the entire 3-story structure failing into a heap of ruins. The Saluthes, husband and wife and j their little babe, Paul Rigaud, the barl keeper and John Edwards were the victims whose bodies have been recovered. ' The Salathe servants spent the night elsewhere and escaped. Two children I were dragged -from the rums, and al- ’ though ba ity bruised and shocked will live. Half a dozen people in rhe vicinity were injured by failing debris, but all will recover. The barroom was generally t crowded at the hour of the tataliiy, but from all accounts there seems to have been a providential lull in trade when the explosion occured. L. A. Boulet, who had such a narrow escape, when asked if he thought that the explosion was an atI tempt to kill for having slain Balestracci, I he shook his head and replied that he 1 thought not. ‘•The Mafia,” he said, ‘‘would not ; adopt such means to kill their victim* ‘ They have other and surer means of doi ing this kind of work. I firmly believe that the explosion was the result of an accident.” Colorado Wreck. Garrison, Col,. April 6.—A broken I flange on the tender of a Southbound I Southern Pacific railway passenger train j caused a bad wreck here yesterday. The baggagecar and one coach rolled off to one side. Express Messenger Thomas was caught under a stove and bacUy burned. The express car caught fire and was with difficulty saved/from destruction. A coffin containing a corpse was badly burned.

Union Citv, Ind., April 6. —Members of the Christian church a[ Beach Grove, seven miles north of this town, are in the midst of a curious controversy. One faction is opposed to Sabbath-schools and the other is in favor of-them. Heretofore the one fiictioh of the church has had part of the Sabbath for Bible rend- I ing and the other a season for Sabbathschools. The pastor, the Rev. Mr. Whitt, has favored the school. Each faction had a key and everything ran smoothly until last Sunday. When the pastor wont to the church in the evening his key refused to work, and developments proved that the anti-school faction had changed the lock. Thg reverend gentleman, not to be outwitted, preached that evening from the doorstep to a large congregation, although the night was chilly and disagreeable. 1 This week the quarrel has grown until the matter has become serious, and some j interesting developments are expected j tomorrow.

WARSHIPS SENT FORWARD, submitting Form* of Knvelopea—Proclamation Withheld on Dakota Land Queatlon— American Prlaon.r* In Cnba. ‘ suit Against Secretary Carlisle—Medal of Honor—Washington Goulp. Washington, April 6.—The Uniteil Suites steamship Marblehead, now nt Gibraltar, was cabled by Secretary Herbert to proceed with dispatch to Beyroot, Smyrna. The commander-in-chief of the European station, who will i stil immediately in the San Francisco, i now nt Palermo, for Smyrna, was in- | siruoted to order the vessels of his oom- , niaiid to visit also Alexandretta and Adana, to confer with the United States ■ consuls and resident Ameriuan citizens, • and if it is found that there are good grounds for ths apprehensions expressed ...ni these tijinrters concerning a probable 1 massacre of Christians, to intimate to the responsible authorities that this government will afford full protection to American citizens living peaceably in I that part of the world under its treaty ' guarantees. To linpres* thf» Natives. The orders to the European squiufron j were issued at the instance of the state ■ department, which had received a letter from United States Minister Terrell at (Constantinople, suggesting this course. I He reported that the missionaries in Smvrna were in a state of alarm in view of the turbulent feeling manifested by the Turks. Whilevno overt acts hail been rejxirted he felt that it might be judicious to send some of our warships to the towns along the sea coast for the sake of the moral impression that would be made. The board of American missions also has been urging the navy department to make Smyrna a rendezvous for the American Mediterranean squadron to impress the natives in that section of Turkey. It is not, however, the intention of the department to adopt any arrangement that will interfere with the San Frani cisco and Marblehead at the great Kiel naval demonstration unless there should appear to be real danger of an outbreak in Turkey that might jeopardize the lives of Americans. PROCLAMATION WITHHELD. ! Yankton Land to Be Investigated by the Secretary of the Interior. WashinGlTON, April G. —The proclamation for the blaming pf the Yankton lands in South Dakota will not be issued until there can be an investigation by the secretary of the interior of the present contentions that exist. Secretary Smith will-determine whether the state can select the lands and, if so, whether it will not be compelled also to pay for them at the same price as agreed upon in the treaty with the Indians. In the enabling act admitting South Dakota the state was granted about 500,000 acres of land. It is in open question, whether selections made of ceded Indian lands would not mean that the state would get them free of the charge, which the settlers have to pay, $3.75 per , acre. The proclamation will be withheld until the questions are investigated. AMERICAN PRISONERS. Oar Government Innist*. Tliat They Be Tried by Civil Authorities. Washington, April 6.—The Spanish government lias promptly conceded the request of the United States that the tv o American citizens, August Bolton and Gustave Richlie, imprisoned at Santiago de Cuba, be given an opportunity I to establish their innocense before civil tribunal.

United States Consul Hyatt secured their release, but they were again aiTested under suspicion of having. landed insurgents on the Cuban coast. The state department histrncted Con-ul Hyatt to protest against a trial by the marine authorities and to insist 'pn a definite accusation of crime.
