PRICE on oe E cent DYNAMITE B it UP NAVY TORE: MEN KILLED Government Warehouses on Iona Island, Op- posite Peekskill, Are Shaken By Explosion of Terrific Force, Causing Nearly a Score of Deaths and Injuring Many Persons. DANGER WAS SO GREAT THAT RESCUERS FEARED TO GO THERE, / One Explosion Followed Another for. More than an Hour—All the Buildings Were Probably Destroyed—Sixty Men Were Employed When the Accident Took Place. « — Sixteen men were killed and many were injured by a series of ex- \plosions on Jona Island, in the Hudson River, opposite Peekskill, to-day. he explosions occurred in sheds used by the Government for the on of dynamite and powder, 4 © The danger was So great that persons were for a time afraid to gol, from Peekskill to rescue the injured, ‘The first explosion occurred shortly after 1 o'clock. It was heard in ‘Peekskill, and the flame and smoke could be seen from the water-front. Then followed explosion after explosion for an hour until the whole ex- panse of buildimgs had been blown up. Iona Island is close to the west shore of the Hudson, and the explosions wrecked ‘houses along the bank. There were sixty men employed on the island. Many Jost their lives while engaged In fighting fhe fire that fol- lowed the first explosion. A telephone message from the commandant of the island to Peekskill weking for physicians stated that sixteen were already dead, and that others ‘were so seriously wounded that they could not survive. All of the phy- eiclans of the city who could leave went to Iona Island on a special boat. Calls were sent for doctors to other near-by Hudson River towns. The blowing up of Iona Island has been frequently predicted by persons living on the mainland near the place. There was an emphatic. protest against the occupancy of the island by the Government. At the time of the Spanish -American war it was said that Spanish spies tried to blow up the ‘warehouses, but no confirmation of the report could be had.
