Soldiers claim the blast was caused by careless stor- age of seven carloads of powder and 8,000 shells. The casualty list is being censored by the War Department Minister, who tries to deny reports that niany workmen who were in the building at the time of the explosion were also killed, Relatives of the dead soldiers de- nounce the murder and the govern- ment’s responsibility for it.

The suit is part of the anti-Hague campaign conducted by republican | opponents who are jealous for con- | trol of the municipal apparatus used |by Hague to enrich himself and his | |supporters to the extent of thou-| sands of dollars.
