Killed the Surviving Employees.

A workman named August Forgofsky
was very seriously injured. All the other
white men have been accounted for, and
the dead are all Cinnamon. There are
some thirty or forty houses on the point
occupied by the employees at the powder
and acid works and most of the windows
are shattered, the doors and sides in many
instances dashed in by the force of the
conclusion. After each explosion the
wood work Of the buildings caught fire and
burned steadily for several hours. The
efforts TO prevent the flames from reaching
the main magazine containing an immense
quantity of powder were happily success
'ul. The consequences would have been
most frightful had the large magazine ex-
ploded as one of the superintendents
stated that there is enough powder stored
there to have destroyed every living thing
on the peninsula. The cause OF the first
explosion remains amystery.
