(Received August 20, 12.30 a.m.) London, August 19. A tin canister containing six 4oz packets of gunpowder used for blast-' ing purposes in collieries' was discovered a few days ago in a cargo of Welsh coal unloading from colliers . into the British India liner Jumna, i moored in the Medway. j It is supposed to have fallen acci- j dentally among the coal at the mine. j While the cruiser Duke of Edin- j burgh was coaling at Spithead yes-1 terday, from a South Wales collier, ! after a small , quantity had been taken in the bunkers, three mining cartridges were discovered. A careful investigation has been ordered.
Both steamers loaded at Penarth, but the cargoes were from different collieries.
