SEPT 97. 1928 MELILLA, Morocco, (U.P).—The powder magaz: ancient Spanish fort of Cabrerizas Bajas exploded today. ; persons were killed and 200 injured, some of them prob- ably fatally. The explosion demolished the old citadel, on a rocky hill overlooking the town. All houses around the citadel \were destroyed. Women and chil- dren were among the dead and in- jured. Nine soldiers of the Spanish garrison at the fort were killed. Authorities later expressed fear that the number of injured might exceed 200. Many people of the town were stll on the streets when the explo- sion occurred. Others had retired. The sky was lighted with a red glare, and a second later came the | tremendous explosion. Doors and| windows were blown out and chim- neys knocked down. Stones and bits of debris showered the town. People emerged from their homes | and joined those in the street, run-| ning around in all directions and/ shouting in panic. Mass Arrests as Outbreak ‘CONTINUE MARCH FORTY KILLED IN BLAST | IN PROTEST AT Morocco Powder Explosion Injures 200 The scene of the explosion about a mile and a half from the center of the town. Soon a thou- sand townspeople arrived at the cita- del. They found the old stone for- tress had disappeared entirely. Hardly a stone was left in place, only a vast, smoking crater show- ing where the citadel had been. In the darkness cries were heard of the injured buried in the. ruin Rescue work was accomplished with the greatest difficulty owing to the lack of light. Pitiful scenes were witnessed. Early arrivals found a mother wailing beside the bodies of her three sons. Rescue Difficult. The fort is surrounded by a smal] suburb of about 2,000 inhabitants. Most of the houses were demolished and the inhabitants caught in the ruins. Authorities commandeered nearly every taxicab and automobile in Melilla to carry the wounded to town. About four a. m. a long pro- cession of taxicabs entered the town, loaded with victims, All hospitals were crowded.
