NEw YoRK, July 3l.--Thc damage by the
fire at Hunters Point is estimated by an insur
ance agent at a million and a half dollars. Last
evening immense crowds of spectators visited
the scene Of the confsgration. The fire con-
tinued to burn all night and the spectacle upon
the river was ngulary beautiful. All the
surrounding section was brilliantly illuminated.
Although it is very materially abated, the fire
will probably continue to-day of the supply of
oil holds out. No fire if this magnitude was
ever before witnessed on East River.
