ST. JOHNS, n. B., June 81.
The following persons are reported to
have lost their lives in the fire: Benz.
Williams, German street: Hurhold
Gilbert. lea the Victoria Hotel; VIM
Menicle, of JAS. Adams IL Co.'s eS-
adjustment; Carrot Golfer, of Jas. n.
Mays establishment; the mother OF
ex.Mayor Reed and his W. aunts; two
men whose names are unknown, and
Hugh McGovern, of Straight shore.
The body of an unknown man was
found in Prince William street this
morning. Many persons are reported
missing. There were many persons
hurt. Accidents were quite common
particularly among the brave firemen.
No clear estimate of the value of the
property destroyed, or insurance can
be given. Certainly $40, 900 900 or
ST., 900 200 are gone, and insurance
men think their risks may run up TO
So. 900 900. The entire business por-
ton of the city is destroyed, not a lead
ing establishment has escaped. All
the principal dry goods stores, the
leading groceries, all the ship brokers
and commission merchants, all the
wholesale liquor, -four, provisions,
coal, salt, lumber, tea and West India
goods stores, are utterly wiped out.
Forty odd blocks, or nearly 200 acres,
south of King street have not six
buildings remaining. The valuables
of the Bank of Montreal and the Bank
of Nova Scotia were removed to the
vaults and safes of the Bank Of New
Brunswick. 1t is not known how the
latter stood the test. Every square
and alley is filled with furniture, and
thousands of people are without either
food or shelter. The International
Company's steamer New York
sheltered and fed thousands of per-
sons last night, and the vessels in the
stream have large numbers OF people
on board. Thousands had to get
away from the lower part of the city
by boats.

LONDON. June %.
Contrary to Turkish reports of the
junction of SULLIVAN Pasha and All
Saib, a Cettipje correspondent says rel
alive to the Turkish defeat near Spuz,
the later accounts show there never
was a worse panic or a more disas-
trous rout known in the annals OF
war between Turkey and Montenegro.
1t vas only the artillery OF the forts
that saved the Turkish army from
complete destruction. The Turkish
dead can not be counted, because they
lie along the PLAIN nearly up to Spuz
and the artillery of the city prevents
approach. Gen. Petrovich reports
about l 900 dead within the ground re-
covered by the Montenegrisns. The
spirits of the people are very high here,
