DESTROYED BY fir

sion of Hugh Quantities
Ct Ammunition.

The Benicia arsenal, located at Ben
lcia, Cal, the governments principal
storehouse for army supplies on the
Pacific coast, was destroyed by fire
early in the day.
The loss is estimated at S4,000,000
Spontaneous combustion or crossed
electric wires is assigned as the
origin of the fire.
Sixty thousand stands of small
arms and 100000 rounds of ammu-
milton were destroyed. Because of
the explosion of the cartridges, the
work of fighting the fire was ex,
tremely hazardous.
Fire Soon Beyond Control.
Despite the steady explosion of the
huge quantities of ammunition, the
troops approached near enough to
the building to reach it with their
streams Of water.
Soon, however, the fire was beyond
control The three-story stone struc-
ture filled with infiammable material,
made a blaze visible for miles.
The Benicia arsenal was the main
eQuiping station for both the Pacific
coast and the orient. The building
was erected in 1859.
None in the Arsenal.
Colonel Charles Ruggles, in charge
of the ordnance department of the
western division, commanded the sol
diers who fought the fire.
1t is positively stated no one had
been in the arsenal since 4:30 p. M,
when the keys were turned over to
the guard in charge. No powder or
large shells were stored in the build
ing.
