the wood work ot the buildings caught fire and burnad steadily for several hours. Efforts to prevent the flames from reaching the main magaziue containing an immense quantity ot uowder were happily successful. The consequences would have been most frightful had the large magazine exploded, as one of the superintendents stated there is enough powder stoiRi there to have destroyed every living thing on.the jeninsula. ...

The cause of the first explosion remains a mystery. Last evening twelve bodies, had been counted lying in the debris and the coroner's investigation today will probably disclose more than double tbe number. A force ot men was engsged last night extinguishing the lire and recovering tbe bodies.
