[From Our Own Correspondans.].

-Cantony-rith-September..

On the 8th Instant there was an explosion

at the Wlog Chat powder magazine, situated at the back of the Five-storied Fagoda, in which

gunpowder has been stored since the disas- trous explosion in 1907, with the exception of a quantity of explosives which was seized by the Likio officials in the Wongaba Railway station a few days ago and was stored there tempora rily. The roof of the building was blown away and the walls completely destroyed almost down to the ground. No person was in charga of the magazine at the time of the accident, so 'no, lives were lost." "As the quantity of the ex- plosives stored was not large, no serions damngs was done to the houses in the nigh bourhood only the Five-storied Pagoda which is very close to the magazine, sustained slight'

damage to the roof.
