THE TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE
AT ASPINWALL.
Almost Every House Damaged
-Heart Rending scenes on the Wharf
some of the Bodies Eaten by Sharks
[From the Panama Scar of 12th. J
The European arrived at Aspinwall on the
Morning of the.2d instant, and. on the after
noon of the same day came alongside the
Railroad Company's wharf, generally used
by this line and commenced discharging
her cargo. Nearly, if not. all the local
freight had been delivered, when about 7
o'clock on the morning of the 3d, a terrific
explosion occurred on board, which tore
away the upper part of .the ship, add blew
*everal large plates off the side.
The wharf at which the vessel was un
loading and which was some 400 feet long,
was literally torn to pieces: the superstruc
ture was completely demolished to within
a hundred feet of the freight house, and
hardly a plank remained in the entire
length of the etructure that was not wrenched
from its fastenings. Immediately in front
of where the vessel lay a gap was cut
theongh the wharf, piles, planking, etc., all
disappearing.
The ship and wharf both caught fire, and
the latter was saved from entire destruction
only by the exertions of several citizens,
who got thafire engine to work, and after a
few hours extinguished the flames, regard
less of the risk they incurred from another
explosion of the burning ship. The P.
R. R. Co.'s splendid freight house is left a
pile of ruins. The force of air caused by
the concussion seems to have raised the
roof—which was constructed of iron and
slate—upwards a few feet, its own weight
bringing it down with immense force into
the building, and carrying with it both the
end walls, leaving the house excepting the
aide walls, which appear but little, if at all
injured, a massof ruins. It would be diffi
cult to imagine a more complete wreck than
thatpresented by the freight house and
'wharf.
Scarcely a building in the place escaped
without more or less damage, those of a
substantial nature suffering most; nearly all
the brick and stone buildings were badly
injured, but the freight house is the only
one we have heard of which has been ren
dered uninhabitable. Hardly a whole win
dow of glass remains in the city, and the de
struction of glassware, crockery and such
like is really wonderful. Although many
vessels were lying in close proximity to the
European at the time of the disaster, none
excepting the Carribbean, of the same line,
sustained any serious damage. The last
named vessel was moored at the opposite
aide of the wharf from the European and
received very serious injury. Her hull ex
ternally appears untouched, but the effect
of the concussion internallywas very severe.
We are assured that some immense iron
girders nearly twelve inches deep were
snapped off like a pipe stem, thirteen of her
frames were broken, and knees and braces
of the heaviest timber were torn from their
.places. The strain upon the ship must have
'been of immense force, and nothing but the
superior build and structure of the vessel
saved her from being. knocked to pieces.
.All her boats, and in fact everything of a
fragile, nature, were rendered useless.
The most awful part of the catastrophe
was the dreadful loss of life and suffering
attending it. Of the number of killed and
missing it is impossible to give a correct es
timate, but from present data, the number
may safely be put down at fifty, and is, we
fear, more likely to prove over this number
than under it. Of the 41 men comprising
the crew of the European,9 have been killed
and 12 are missing. Two clerks engaged on
the wharf—Mr. Swainson, of the W. I. and
P. Steamship Company, and Mr. Calvo of
the Panama P. R. Co., were both instantly
killed,ond of 13 natives or Jamaicans em
ployed on the wharf, and in the freight
house, none are supposed to have been
saved; besides it is believed a small gang of
native laborers who had gone on board the
unfortunate steamer have met the fate of
the others. It will be several days before a
Correct estimate can be made of the loss.
Many bodies were no doubt thrown into the
;water and picked up by sharks, whilst
others are still buried beneath the rains of
..the freight house and wharf, or went down
frith the ill-fated ship.
The scene in Aspinwall after the first ex
plosion cannot be described—it was harrow
ing in the extreme. Whilst the rains gay
an air of desolation to the place, the man '
gled and lacerated bodies or pieces of bodies
to be met with in every direction for a great ,
distance around the ruin of the disaster were
heartrending, and the sufferings of the poor
mortals crushed and bruised, in whom life I
was not extinct, was really dreadful.
Fears being entertained that a second ex
plosion would occur, and as the cause of the
disaster was still unknown, and none of the
officers or crew of the ship were left who
could give any explanation of its cause, it
was thought best to have the burning ship
towed into the stream. The Royal Mail
steamship, Tamar, which had arrived the
evening previous; immediately got up steam
and prepared to tow out the burning ship,
but before this could be accomplished
another explosion took place, though not
of sufficient force to cause any injury. It
was supposed to be the magazine, which
contained a small quantity of powder for
ship's use. The Tamar then made fast to
the burning hulk, and towed her out. The
two vessels had barely reached - the opposite
side of the bay when another explosion, more
terrific than the' first, occurred, but fortu
nately, the ship being far from the city and
in deep water, no harm resulted. The last
explosion is supposed to have broken up
the' hull, as in, less than half an hour after
it occurred the unfortunate ship went down.
The top of her smoke-stack is the only part
now visible.
At first the cause of the explosion was
wrapped in ,mystery, and as no one was
saved from the wreck who eould give
any satisfactory explanation, all was left to
conjecture. A boiler explosion was im
possible, as there was no steam in the main
boiler, and' there was no necessity to use
the engines as the ship had been lying at
the wharf over eighteen hours, discharging
cargo. Gunpowder seemed most plausible,
but there was none known to be on board,
excepting a few pounds in the magazine, for
ship's use, which could not possibly cause
so much destruction. If any were on board
it must. 'be under a false bill of lading, as
none appeared on the ship's manifest. Be
sides it seemed impossible that powder
could explode in such immense quantities
without creating a cloud of smoke and leav
ing its marks on everything around; whereas
in this case a few minutes after the explo
sion no -- traces whatever were visible, ex
cepting the general ruin. It was then dis
covered that some seventycases of glonoine
or nitro glycerine, one -of the most power
ful explosive agents known at the present
day, was on board under an ordinary bill
of lading.' ' This at once cleared up the mys
tery. This. compound is used for blasting
purposes, and was shipped from Liverpool
for California.
It is, we understand, of a similar cona
position, if not- the same, as a barrel or bog
of oil which eXploded in Greenwich street,
New York, antiort time ago. It will be re
membered the, package was accidentally
'dropped on the street and immediately ex
ploded, tearing down two or three large
buildings,. and . damaging many others.
The amount of damage caused by the ex
plosion it; roughly estimated at 51,000.000.
The' wounded, so far as found, haye all
been cared for. Many of,the poor fellows
had to undergo severe surgical operations.
Several only survived a few hours after
reaching the hospital.
Son:ie remarkable instances occurred in
which property apparently exposed to the,
full force of the concussion, escaped unin
jured, whilst some less exposed was de
stroyed. One of the most remarkable is
that of the American brig Kremlin, of the
Boston Ice Company, which lay not more
than 100 feet astern of the European, imme
diately between her and the freight house.
The brig escaped almost uninjured; her
deck cabin was strained a few inches out of
place, while the freight house is a complete
ruin.
Fortunately at the time of the a'ocident
only four of theiclerks connected with the
freight department in Aspinwall, were at
their posts. Two on the wharf, as stated
above, were instantly killed; the other two,
Mr. Burnham and Mr. Forman, were in
thefreight house, but with wonderful pre
sence of mind on seeing the roof falling,
one climbed over a car and sheltered him
self; in a window, whilst the other. stepped
into a doorway, and both were saved. The
balance of the clerks were in the neighbor
hood of the ticket office, seeing the train
litit;.t for Panama, which by some goad
Providence had been detained nearly half
an hour behind time, and thus saved the
lives or moat of the young men connected
with the freight offices. Had they been in
the building many of them must have
perished.
Immediately on the news of the accident
being received in Panama, a special train
wag despatched, taking over medical aid.
Dr.. Wm. B. Little, 11. S. Consul at this
port, Dr. Maxwell, U. S. Fleet Surgeon; Dr.
Riecker, Panama Railroad Company's Sur
geon, and Dr. Kratochwil at once volun
teered their services.
Dr. Bnrchard, of this city, and Dr. Haw
kins, of the 11. S. sloop St. Mary's were ac
tive in rendering aid to the wounded in co
operation with Dr. Eversfield, of the
Panama Railroad Company's Hospital, in
Aspinwall.
In the afternoon the remains of twelve of
the victims of this sad catastrophe were
conveyed to the Mount Hope Cemetery near
Aspinwall, and the remains of others, who
died afterwards, were interred yesterday.
The remains of the Commander of the Eu
ropean, Capt. Cole, were also buried with
Masonic honors yesterday.
The War Between. Chile and Spain.
By the arrival of the steamer Arizona a
New York, we have later news from Can
tral and South America.
CHILE.
I Additional particulars are received of the
Spanish Admiral's attempt to capture or de
stroy the allied fleet of Chile and Peru, in
one of the creeks or channels of the Island
of Chiloe. The two Spanish vessels received
such damage that they had to return to Val
paraiso to refit
The Acting Commander of the squadron,
Mendez Nuftes, either thinking he had little
to do if he took ' the iron-clad Nutnancia to
the scene of disaster to destroy the allies, or
thinking he personally could do more than
the commander he had previously sent, pro
ceeded from Valparaiso in the iron -clad, ac
companied by the Blanca, for the channels
of Chloe to look for the enemy.
Not finding them where he expected, he
determined to keep in the neighborhood,
and anchored on the first of March in a nar
row channel, near a place called "Tibaldad"
the Blanca having to lay close in shore, not
more than sixty metres from the rocks. A
sharp outlook had been, unknown to the
Spainards, kept on shore, and the comman
der of a handful of troops stationed in the
neighborhood, marched his men during
night, and placed them on a commanding
position on the rocks, right above the Blanca
to await the muster of all hands on deck in
the morning.
As expected, the Spainards made muster
on deck, when the troops poured into them
a murderous fire from a distance of not more
than a hundred- metres. The surprise was
most effective, and the troops scattered and
took up position over the rocks, continuing
fire with deadly precision.
The Blanca bad little scope for her guns at
such a range, nor had she any body of men
to fire on; the Numancia lying outside of
her could renderno assistance with her guns,
but sent boats, which the fire from the rocks
forced to retreat. This work was kept up
for about two hours, till the two vessels
could get clear of the channel. The loss of
the Chilian troops has not been one man.
Such is the reception which at every point
of the coast will await the Spaniards.
There is considerable talk about the like
lihood of Valparaiso being bombarded im
mediately after the sailing of the present A
steamer.
Rum ors are going about of disorganiza
tion among the Spanish crews; that there
had been mutiny on board the Blanc; and
that scandal had been created in the squad
ron, by one Commander charging another
with cowardice in the matter of the attack
on the allied fleets at Chirjahue.
The steamer Uncle Sam arrived at Valpa
raiso on the 14th, and is reported to have
been taken possession of by the Spanish
squadron.
The late United States Minister, Hon.
Thomas Nelson, had delivered his valedic
tory address to the Government, and his
successor, General Kilpatrick,had presented
his credentials. Much regret is expressed
in Santiago at losing Mr. Nelson, who was
quite a favorite there.
PERIL
Preparations continue to be busily pushed
forward to receive the Spaniards, and in
course of another fourteen days eight torpe
does will be ready for use in Callao Bay.
SPEER'S SAMEIIRO PORT WINEr-IMPORT
ANT LETTER.-PASSAIC, /Oa. 20th, 1865.
This is to certify that Mr. Alfred Speer is a
resident of this village, and to my per
sonal knowledge has devoted a number of
years to the manufacture of pure and valua
ble wines. He has a large Vineyard within
view of my residence, and has been engaged
for some length of time in cultivating the
Samburg Port Grape. The wines manufac
tured by Mr. Speer are bottled every season
in large quantities but not disposed of until
they have attained' the age of four years.
The Samburg Port Wine is made from the
juice of the Samburg Grape, and cannot be
excelled by any American wines. This
grape is not generally known, having been
introduced of late years by Mr. Speer him
self. D. 13. SICKLES,

POSTMASTER-GENERAL DENNISON has
under advisement the propositions pending
in the Senate for the Government to build
telegraph lines over e principalpost routes
of the Malted States. th The matter p Ls referred
to Governor Dennison by the Senate, for his
opinion as to the feasibility and practability
of the plan proposed. If the estimate be cor
rect, ordinary messages can be transmitted
at the rate of one-third of a cent per word,
and at this rate the work will be self-sus
taining. There is reason to believe the
Postmaster-General will report in favor of
the plan, and the indications are that the
Senate will pass the bill.
PRACTICAL RECUPERATION.—It is stated
by the Lynchburg Nem% that the farmers of
that section, the Piedmont region, Virginia,
and in the southwestern portion of the
State, and in other localities of Virginia,
are assiduously devoting their time and
energies to the main objects of raising large
crops of the various agricultural produc
tions. During the present year preparations
have been made for the cultivation of large
crops of corn, and more than an average
amount of oats has already been put in the
ground. The wheat crop, it is generally
conceded, will not prOve an average one,
than was
though a better supply will be realized
anticipated a few week@ ago.
THE DAILY EITENING.BULLETIN; PHYLADELPHIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 21,1866
Between two and three o'clock Thursday
afternoon a most destructive fire broke out
In the Pittsburgh Acid Works, Lawrence
ville, owned by a Boston company tinder the
firm of Farrah & Co. The works are situated
on the Allegheny Valley Railroad, between
Mill and Lathrop streets, and are used for
the restoration of vitriol after it has been
employed by oil refiners. The fire origi
nated from an evaporating pan filled with
acid, which is supposed boiled over and
communicated with the furnace. The flame
increased to a large volume by a draft
created by the ventilator used for carrying
off noxious gess es,and soon the entire works
became enveloped, and were entirely con-
The fire then spread right and left. The
storage sheds of Hackett, McKee' & Co.'s
oil refinery, which were above and imme
diately adjoining the Vitriol Works, became
a prey to the devouring element. 'Five
hundred barrels of refined oil were, con
sumed, together with the store-honse and
barrel-shed; but through , the exertions of
the employes seven hundred new barrels
were saved.
Brewer Burke .ifz Co.'s storage yard for
their refinery, situated below and upon the
corner of Mills street and the raihnid were
swept by the flames. They lost five empty
oiltanks their storage sheds and a large
stable, but saved two tlaousand new barrels.
They were fully insured. '
A storage shed and small tank, belong
ing to Thomas Donnelly were also burnt.
His loss was abours3oo, no insurance. The
office and stable of Alex. McClintock were
also on fire, but the flames were extin
guished before material damage was done.
The buildings were insured. A five•story
brick house on the opposite corner of Mill
street, the residence of A. D. Anderson,
was in imminent danger, and the roof had
caught, but the fire was subdued by the
application of saturated carpet.
Farrah & Co.'s loss is $50,000, on which
they have an insurance of $lO,OOO in Eastern
companies. Hackett, McKee & Co.'s loss
will amount to $12,000. They are fully in
sured.
The burnt district comprises an area of
• about five acres, extending from the railroad
to the river, and from Mill to Lathrop
street. The flames encircled the Storage
yard of the Eagle Oil works, in which there
were three tanks of oil, owned by Wight
man and Anderson, bUt singular indeed,
none of them were touched. The entire lois
of property by the fire is estimated at $50,000.
—Pittsburgh Gazette.
Loudon Streets.
A London correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette says: The streets of London have
been made matter of public interest in many
ways. But as yet no antiquary has given
us an account of the naming of these streets.
The first thing that strikes the wanderer
through them is the poverty of names which
seems to have afflicted London, and which
shows itself in singular and intolerable re
petition of them. There are 36 King streets.
There are 180 places named Washington, in
America; but fancy how coachmen and
strangers in New York would swear at the
Father of their country if even 36 streets
in New York were named for him. How
loyalty to the throne is compatible
with 36 King streets in London,
I cannot say. There are 25 Queen
streets also, and 3 Queen squares. The
House of Brunswick is remembered in 20
George streets and 9 George Yards. There
are 34 Charles streets, 32 John streets, 25
Church streets and 10 Church rows, 20
Princess streets, 18 Duke streets, 17 James,
16 Cross and IL Chapel streets. Besides
these there are uncountable variations, such
as Old King, New John, Upper Charles,
ate. &c. There are 21 New streets, 6 New
roads and 8 New courts. 82 streets are
named after Queen Victoria. Six of the
nastiest streets in London are called Para.
dise streets. There is a stenchy fitness in the
naming of Liquorpond street, as there is in
the religious literature of Amen Corner,
which is reached by Paternoster Row.
Some American writer has noticed that the
philosopher who admires Frederick and
defends slavery should live at Great Cheyne
Row, but it may be said for him that one
reaches it through Justice Walk. It is in
tolerable, however, that some of the vilest
and meanest lanes should be named after
Shakespeare, Newton and Milton. You
go to Milton's house by Bread Lane and
reflect how much he had to do to get
his bread. Many of the - names in
London are, however, historical and
important. Bridewell still preserves the
memory of the well of fresh water in
St. Brides; Ludgate Hill of the statues with
which King Lud adorned it; Ivy Lane of
the ivy which grew on the prebendal houses
belonging, to St. Paul's; Paternoster Row
near by, now the great publishing centre,
was in superstitions ages the mart of beads,
rosaries, printed paternosters for those who
were on their way to worship in the cathe
dral; St. Mildred's Church still embalms
the Saxon Princess Nlerewald; Old Jewry
still marks the spot where the great syna
gogue*stood previous to the banishment of
the Jews in 1291; and Labour-in-Vain Hill
is still graphic for one who attempts to
climb it.
The 11. S-Treasury.
The U. S. Treasury receipts for the fiscal
year ending with June, 1b65, were as fol
lows :
From customs, - -
From internal revenue, -
Miscellaneous,
Total receipts,exclusive of land, $329,567,126
As contrasted with the above, the follow
ing is a statement of the actual receipts of
the government from all sources, for the
first three-quarters of the present fiscal year
which will end with the 30th of June next,
as prepared by the Revenue Commission
for the use of the Committee of Ways and
Means :
Customs receipts to April lst,
1866, in coin, - - - - $128,967,375
Internal revenue to April 1,
Miscellaneous, premium on gold ,890,548
eta
Actual aggregate receipts to
April 1, 1866, - • - $410,041,230
From the above it will be seen that the
monthly average customs receipts for nine
months were $14,000,000, and._ the monthly
average internal revenue receipts for the
same period were $27,000,000.
The receipts of the Treasury for the first
three-quarters of the present year were near
ly $80,500,000 more than those for, the entire
previous year. The estimated receipts for
the remaining quarter, from all sources, will,
it is believed, be sufficient to bring up the
revenue for the year ending June 30th next
to $500,000,000, or nearly $171,500,000 more
than those of the year previous.
