After the festivities attending the Eoyal marriage had ended, Campos declared that the Government were determined to stamp out the Cuban revolution, and to this end asked autho rity of the Cortes to send 19,000 troops there. It was understood that Lord Penzance's order, under wtich the Rev. Mr Maconachie was suspended, was an irregular one. Bishop Condon's London chaplain appeared at St. Alban'd^ Holborn, oa November 3rd, with a written instructions to perform service. The perpetual curate presented him with a docu ment setting forth why he cmld not recognise Lord Penzance'd Court. Tha Bishop's chap- I l*in withdrew, and the Eev Mr Maconachie proceeded withthe service. This raises the question of jurisdiction. A terrific explosion occurred in a tunnel on a narrow-gauge railway at South Croz Moun tain, California. It resulted in killing over 30 Chinamen working within, and frightfully burning some 15 or 20 more, besides two white men. The tunnel was 2600 feet long without ventilation shafts. Eight months ago an ex plosion took place in the same tunnel, killing five and wounding 13 men. In July last a fire burned fiercely for a fortnight in the tunnel. These accidents were cauied by the escape of petroleum from fissures caused |by blasting. The range is full of rock oil; Two explosions occurred. The first happened when the fuzs was lighted for a giant powder blast, and was accompanied by a roar and shock which shook the mountain. When the gas exploded twenty Chinamen rushed into the tunnel with lighted torches to relieve their countrymen. They penetrated 1500 feat from the entrance, when a second report, louder and more intense that the first, again shook the _ earth, and wrecked engine house and shed within 100 feet of the entrance to the tunnel. The explosion was followed by a lurid flame, which the great mountain belched forth, consuming everything before it for a hundred yards. The engine which was supply ing air for the workmen was blown out of the tunnel, and a group of white men who had congregated at the portal when the Chinamen went in, were all more or less injured on the second explosion. Tile sight and smell of the burning flesh is described a3 something horrible. Nine hundred and thirty-nine cattle were burned in a pen at Cincninati. The sixth part of the population of Monte negro is starving.
