FRiGHTFUL DISASTER.
Explosion Of Rockets and Burning Of m
English Arseual-TWO Lives Lost.

LONDON. Sept "a.
The rocket factories at the arsenal al
Woolwich exploded today. Many buildings
were destroyed and the loss is likely to be
serious.
The explosion at Woolwich was caused by
fire in the main building which includes the
labratory. The building was destroyed with
in half an hour after the fire broke out. Ii
contained an immense number of war rockets
filled with destructive missiles. The latter
flew in all directions many being projected to
and falling upon the other side of The Thames.
The explosives caused fearful destruction of
property throughout the tosu and in the
surrounding district. Tie fire was extin-
guised at noon, when The 70, kets ceased
their explosions. Now Il o'clock) it is
thought there is no loss of life.
Two, p. Mold soldiers here declare
that the explosions of the rockets during the
fire were as frightful as if occurring in an
actual siege. Two bodies of victims have
been found. Some war rockets were pro-
jected five miles, one went through the
arsenal wall and another struck the artillery
barracks
