Toulon, March 6.-The naval powder
magazine of La Goubran, between La
Seine and Toulon, in the department
OF Var, southernyFrance, exploded at
half-past two O'clock Sunday morning.
All OF the soldiers on duty at the mag
azine were killed and number of in
habitants of the surrounding district,
the buildings in which were RACED,
also fell victims. Forty corpses have
already been recovered.
; All the bodies recovered are terribly
mutilated. Sixteen were found in the
rocks near the shore, and it is feared
that others were precipitated into the
sea. A vehicle moving along a road
near the sea was lifted bodily into, the
water by the force of the explosion, two
OF its occupants being drowned.
1t is impossible to ascertain accu-
rately the number killed, but it is be-
lleved that no fewer than a hundred
were injured. Four of the injured
have succumbed to their wounds. It
is believed that Is are still buried in
the debris. A large number of soldiers
are now employed in clearing away the
debris, but the work is very difficult.
Although it was clear night, the
explosion was so terrific as to produce
a slight rainfall. Fortunately the
neighboring magazines escaped. It is
now believed that the explosion orig
mated in chemical decomposition in
smokeless powder. There is no sug-
gestion of foul play.
