Berlin, July 15,

Four persons were killed and eight injured in a terrific explosion at the Hasloch powder factory, near Wurburg, Bavaria, yesterday morn-

when 130 men were at work. The explosion 'took place in tho drying room and is believed to have been caused by spontaneous com- bustion due to the hot weather.

to the ground and the remainder was destroyed by a fire.

Several houses were unroofed by the force of the detonation and tele-

tion with the town was cut off for graph and telephone communien- several hours.

This is the fifth explosion which has occurred at this factory.
