Boston, Sept. 7.? One of the government magazines at Old Fort Winthrop, on Governor's Island, upper Boston harbor, t?low up this evening with a detonation that was heard at points 20 miles away. The explosion is supposed to have been caused by boys sotting tires om tho island. One dead and five injured were brought to this city by the police boat, and while it is believed that this is the extent of the casualties, it is possiblo that others may be found suffering from the-force of the concussion. There are several old wooden buildings at the south eud of the island bat the fort itself, only a little of which is visible above ground, is of stone, some of the granite blocks being of immense size. The force of today's explosion is shown by the fact that some of these great blocks were burled several hundred yards, while one of the largest was sent into the air and camo down through the citadel in* the centre of the fort^ making a hole largo enough to drive a team of horses through. All over the island the effects of the explosion are visible, while in East Boston, South Boston and m the city proper the concussion was sevoro enough to break windows and shake buildings to their foundations.
