Invading Spanish troops enter the key Moroccan town of Tetuan

Invading Spanish forces under Marshal O'Donnell had struck at a major Moroccan camp near Tetuan and dispersed the Moorish forces, capturing much of their equipment.  This left the important city unprotected and the Spanish entered unopposed two days later.  Their occupation lasted until May 2, 1862.

Seven killed in a boiler explosion in a Brooklyn, New York hat factory

At seven-thirty in the morning, in Brooklyn, the new three-story hat factory of Ames, Moulton, and Company on Sanford Street was destroyed in a massive explosion.  A steam-boiler had blown up killing the engineer working on it, bringing down the building, and taking the lives of six other men.  Luckily, the morning shifts had not begun and few workers were on the premises. Damage was estimated at around $37,000.  (John Osborne)
