ly adds. In addition, 265 persons SUI
fering from lighter injuries were
treated. There is no evidence that
the explosion was other than the re-
suit Of fire. such as that to which
any factory is subject. The central
point of the volcanolike upheaval was
in the heart OF the working district
OF suburban town. At 6:45 p. m. a
series OF explosions suddenly trans
formed the works into a fiery furn-
ace, and great masses Of burning
liquid and timber and red hot iron
were hurled high in the air.
Mingled with the deafening crash
OF beams and Orders were cries from
the working people. An adjoining
flour mill, in which women and girls
were employed, was engulfed.
An official announcement in regard
to the explosion was given out:
THE explosion appears to have in
volved practically all the explosives
in the factory, which was itself COM
pletly destroyed. Fires were caused
in neighboring warehouses and fac
tories. one of the largest of which was
an important flour mill. The explo-
sion was felt for a great distance.
Three rows OF small houses in the
immediate neighborhood were practi-
cally demolished and considerable
damage was occasioned to other prop
erty".
What was yesterday a busy subur-
ban borough" says the Press Associa-
ton, looks today as though it had
been bombarded by a mighty fleet of
Zeppelins."
The 'Woolwich arsenal. is situated
on the south bank OF the Thames. ana
even before the war was considered
one of the most imposing establish
ments in existence for the manufac-
ture Of materials of war.
The arsenal proper coverS an area
Of about 1885 acres, but a consider.
able territory around the central
plant has been dotted with number
less workshops.
1t is understood that $1,000 male
and female workers are employed in
the arsenal proper while the factories
in the neighborhood employ an add.-
tional 10000 hands, mostly women.
1t appears probable from the Off
cial statement in regard to the dis
aster, particularly the reference to the
flour mill nearby, that the explosion
did not occur on the grounds of the
old Woolwich arsenal proper, al
though the factory destroyed may
have been one of those established in
the vicinity.
Friday nights explosion was not
only heard within radius of many
miles from the zone, including Lon
don and suburban towns, but shook
buildings and broke windows long
distance away.
Ten persons were killed and twen-
ty injured by an explosion in a NUM-
lions laboratory at Spandau, Prussia.

Won Great Naval Battle.
Admiral George Dewey, Hero of
Manila Bay" fought and won the first
great American naval battle against
foreign foe since the war of 1872.
His whole life was full of honorable
achievement, from the days of the
Civil War down to the time when, as
the head Of the General Board, he be-
gan the last chapter of his work by
laying plans for the defense of his
country in time of war. His life was a
striking exemplification of the posi-
bilities of career based upon the ex-
act and intelligent performance of ev-
cry routine duty which molds a man
on inflexible lines of duty and honor.
George Dewey was born in the
shadow of Vermont's state capitol at
Montpelier, on the day following
Christmas in 1887.
Contrary to Spanish expectations,
Dewey sailed into Manila bay on the
night of April 80 and in the morning

eleven warships and capturing all
other vessels and all the land batteries
