One Killed and Five Injured on
 Governors Island, Boston.
 BOSTON, Sept S.-One of the govern ment powder magazines at Old Fort Winthrop, on Governors island, upper Boston harbor, blew up withla detona- ton that was apparent ali over the city and which was heard at points twenty miles away. The explosion is supposed to have been caused by boys setting fires on the island. One dead man and five injurad were brought to the city by the police boat, and while it is believed that this is the extent of the casualties yt is possible that oth- CTS may be fouhd suffering from the force of the cohcussion.
 Negotiations have been pending some time for the release of the island by the government to the city as part of the latter's park system, and, although the transfer has not been formally completed, the guard over the island has been somewhat relaxed of late, and as result numerous clubs and pleas ure parties have made use of it, espe- cia1ly ion Sundays, the governments only representative there being an ord nance sergeant, who has to maintain a watch over the entire island. There are several old ramshackle wooden buildings at the southerly end of the island, but the fort. itself, only little of which is visible above ground, is of stone, some of the granite blocks being of immense size.
 The force of the explosion is shown by the fact that some of these great blocks were hurled several hundred yards, while one of the largest was sent into the air and came down through the citadel in the center of the fort, making a hole large enough to drive a team of horses through. All over the island the effects of the ex- p1dsion are visible, while in East Bos- ton, South Boston and in the city prop- CT the concussion was severe enough to break windows and shake buildings to their foundations.

 My Dear MT Mayor:
 '.I want to thank you for the splen- did way in which the reception to the president was carried out, and especi- ally compliment you on the dignified and courteous manner in which the duties of the mayor were performed. listened with great pleasure to your remarks at the time of the introduc- tion to the president in the car, and again upon the stand in the park. and was exceedingly gratif1ed with their simplicity and directness and, at the same time, with their peculiar fitness for both occasions. Bridgeport has reason to be proud of her reception to the president, for am sure that from the time he arrived at the depot until the Sylph left the harbor, 1t was in no respect second to any reception which he had received in New England.

: RAIN IS WELCOME.
It May Cheek Cholera Epidemic Rag
 ing in the Philippines.

San Francisco, Sept S.-sA bounti- full downpour of rain is the only rem edy which will check the cholera cpl. demtc now raging in the Philippines" said Capt D. H. Southall, a surgeon in the United States army who has ar- rived here on the transport Buford. Captain Southall was for a time in charge of the cholera ship in Manila. In speaking of the epidemic Captain Southall said: The Americans in the Philippines seem unable to cope with the cholera plague. Despite the rigor- ous methods used to suppress it the disease seems to spread. When left Manila the death rate was 90 day. An equal number were stricken with the disease daily. Of course, there were number of Pueblos in the in- terior from which we never hear, and in these places the death rate was said to be enormous. It is very diffi- cult to get correct figures of the mor
 tality due to cholera, because of the fact that the natives hide the dead and try to keep knowledge of the presence of the disease from the authorities"
