. GASOLINE EXPLOSION.

Many Of the tins had t>cen discharged and piled on the quav, when another explosion occurred. In a short time the neighbouring buildings were attacked by the flames, and all the warehouses in the port seemed doomed to destruction. It was cnlv the energetic work of American sailors from several steamers lying in the port that succeeded in confining the flames to a limited area. i i if THE NEXT CUNABDEIt. Interviewed with regard to his statement that he believed the Cunard Company had determined to build the largest steamer not only ever built, but ever thought, of, Mr. IS. B. Hunter told a Newcastle Journal (England)" representative that he was not at liberty to mention the proposed dimensions of the new vessel. Indeed, he said, they had not yet been definitely decided upon ; they were subject to alteration. But the new Cimarder. ho added, would be longer, broader, and'. speedier than the Olympic and the Titanic, the leviathans which Messrs. Hartand and Wolff are now constructing for the White Star Company. These two vessels would be 850 ft long .between the perpendiculars and over 90ft broad, Ihey were the biggest now on order in the United Kingdom, but were not quite equal to the dimensions of a steamer now being built for the Ham-burg-American Line at Hamburg. The new Cunarder, Mr. Hunter said, would be bigger even than the German vessel. In fact, he expected it would be bigger than anything ever thought) of if the Oman! Company's present intentions were carried out. Mr. Hunter added that the vessel would in all probability be propelled by turbine machinery. THE KAHUNA. The Union Company's steamer Kaituna, Captain .1. Morley. arrived" from Newcastle yesterday morning at 11.30 o'clock with a cargo of coal. Fine weather was experienced throughout the voyage, ARRIVAL OF THE MOURA. The Union Company's steamer Moura.
