An Explosion in Woolwich Arsenal, Eng

ade OF War ROckets-Two Persons Killed
and Considerable Damage to Property.
LONDON, September "a.
An explos sion at Woolwich Arsenal
caused a fire in the main building, which,
including the laboratory building, was de-
stroyed within half an hour after the fire .
broke out. 1t contained an immense num-
Der of war rockets, which were filed with
destructive missiles. The latter flew in all
directions, many being projected to and fall
ing upon the other side of the Thames. The
explosives caused q fearful destruction of
property throughout the town and in the
surrounding district. The fire was extin-
guished at noon, when the rockets ceRsed
their explosions. Old soldiers declared the
explosion of the rockets during the fire was
as frightful as If occurring in an actual
siege. Two bodies of the victims of the ex-
plosion have been found. Some of the
rockets were projected distance of five
miles. One of them went through the wall
of the arsenal and another struck the artil-
lory barracks. Rockets fell in Firth,
Elsham, Charlton and Ilford. One of them
plunged into a school for infants at Plump
stead; another entered draper's shop in
Woolwich, and still another wrecked gro
Gerry store. There was the widest panic at
Noolwich, but no loss of life with the ex-
ception of the two persons mentioned, and
who were employed in the arsenal. First
reports of the fatalities were exaggerated
The principal damage is confined to the
rocket factory which will involve Loss OF
$4,000.
