Two men were killed and four in* jured by an explosion at the naval ordnance depot at Pillan, near Konigsberg. The men were loading high ex* plosives for a coastal battery when fire broke out and reached the explosives before it could be extinguished. On* building of the depot was destroyed. The Trinidad Legislative Council had voted 33,000 dollars to erect a building in Port of Spain for a central library service, which it is hoped later to extend to other West Indian colonies. The Carnegie Corporation of New York has offered, and the Government has accepted, 80,00 p dollars! toward the expenses.
