J., nnd tho country within a mdlus of 20 miles va3 startlid this nttcinoon by a ser ies of tcrrllle explosions, the llrst of vhlch occurred ut 2 10 o'clock. The explosions oieuireil in the Atlantic Powder company's works nnd the plant Is now a complete mnss of ruins. Six workmen weic killed and four others were seriously Injured, homo probably fatally. Their remains luie not yet been recovered. The works were situated In an Iso lated spot seven miles out In a rough country from Dover. Theie were ten buildings in the Kioup and all hac been destroyed. Tho Hist explosion oi Linrcd in one of tho packing houses, cuus?d, it Is thought, by a tmaik from tho pll'f of a eaieless binoKer. The concussion sot off tho explosives in nno'Iier picking hous nearby. Debils and burning Umbels of the u locked buildings were i an led high Into the air and fell In a shower oor the re nin inlng buildings, setting tire to tho mi. n factory and the other flo paek- -f. houses and the two shell houses.

People who felt tho shocks and saw the flames of the burn ing structures flocked to the place from miles around but could lender no aid to the injured. The people were tenifled and held back in constant fe.ir of other explosions. A few men who weie In the buildings managed to escape and they ran about the coun li v bewildered. They could give no Intelligent account of the cause of the explosion. 'When the wives and rela tives of the employes of the factory nppioached the burning buildings the scene was moot he.u trending. The women tore their hair and ran about in it pitiable mannei. It was near B o'clock before the ruins had cooled off sutllciently to be approached and before the onlookeis could be induced to go near the spot. The bodies of tho lead were houl bly m.inglid. The head was missing from some, while here and there lav lesless and aimless trunks. Mnny of the injured weie cut and maimed so badly that some of them cannot iocov ei. The loss cannot be learned at this writing. The dead nro: M.FRED PARRK'K. WILLIAM ST I .MIT. I'ASPEIt RAY DAVIll SCIIHER. WILLIAM HAYCOCK. ELIAS ABERS. All the killed weto mairied and have families. AS SPAMARDS VIEW IT. Translation ol u Dispatch Sent to Madrid by a orrexpiiiiilrut Washington, April 28. Following Is a ttunslation of a cable dispatch sent by Senioi Julio Gonzales y Alba, cone spondent at Washington of the Madtld Imparrial- "The United States hesitates to fight; 'its waiting policy" is due to tlrnialtv. Its tlret hoveis around the shores of Culu and moves up and clown the Ame'icnn coast, doing no greater damage than heie and there tho capture of a defence less merchantman. Tho reason for this Is that tho American government Is net prepared to light. It was not thought that Spain would offer any real resist ance. The press of this republic nun mis led tho populnco us to the power re sources and mllUarj vlrtuos of tho Span Isll people "Tho only powder mill on tho American continent capable of producing smokeless powder has been destroied Thus the Americans have no way of teloidlng th"lr heavy ordnance, as black or blown pow der cannot bo used cffectlvelj. "Then tho States which wero counted on to furnish tho men for the wor are themselves handicapped by threatened In dianuprlsli'Ks. The regular army has been vvlthdiawn and tho savages huvo already taken the warpath. In the states ot Ohio, Illinois and Iowa the citizens have already been called out to protect their western frontiers from the raids of tho wild men. "In the District of Columbia the militia guard has refused to serve. The guard was ordered out by the president, and when It discovered that It was to go Into camp and drill, for war purposes It dis obeyed tho ofllcers and returned to tho capital, "The fifty millions of dollars voted for the war have not been collected, and n bill Is now before the congress providing means to borrow money with which to fight Spain.

IRON AND STflEL MARKET. Uuccrtnlntv li Keeping llnck Trndo Operations in the Eum. Pittsburg, April 23. The iron and steel market remains about as It was Inst week, but those conditions are more pronounced. War preparations have overshadowed everything in the way of business, and the latter has been practically left to take care of it self, while all attention is given to ..ic one topic of tho day. In all lines of the market there is more hesitation shown. Consumers provide only for present wants, as the uncertainty of the effect of a conlllct is holding back both sides of the market. Locally, the most Im portant development of the week was the agreement of the valley pig lion producers to close down all furnaces for SO days during tho coming tlnee months. This agreement Is backed by a stiff forfeit and it Is the general Im pression that this move will befoie long luive a decided effect on the mar ket. At all other points the situation appears to be about the same. In the east the uncertainty Is keep ing back trade operations. Buyers, however, have the best end of tho market, but big orders ate expected soon. Piesent business Is disappoint ing. At New York and Philadelphia tho pig iron market Is quiet. There are good piospects In Bessemer billets. Manufactured lines are quite slow and Philadelphia bais are so low that the smaller mills nie being crowded out. Sheet iron makets are again busy, and the tin plate mills are rushed. Chica go leports trade conditions unchang ed, with consumption lnige, but great hesitation In orders. Pig Iron Is hardly as dull as it was, but bars ate not so active. Tho plate mills are kept busy and the demand for structural Is fair. A fairly good business In pig Iron is bolng clone at Cincinnati, with pi ices of finished m.iteilal well sustained. The western sheet mills aie well em ployed. At Cleveland all branches of the market are quiet, and In the Wheeling market the purchases being made aie for immediate use. SPANIARDS TIRED OF WAR.
