Loss ST, 500, ,ooo-Fifteen Persons
Injured.

KEY WEST. Fla, March 3O.-A fire started
in San Carlo Theatre at 1 o'clock this morn
ing, and was still burning at a. m. 1t was
beyond the control of the fremen at that
time, and five blocks In the centre of the
city had been destroyed, and the indications
then were that the fire would probably go to
the harbor. The Episcopal and Baptist
churches had been burned, together with
thirty stores and residences.
[sECoND DIsPATCH.l
Over fifty houses have been already
burned, including the Masonic Hall aud
three or four cigar factories and bonded
warehouses containing nearly a quarter of
million dollars worth of tobacco. Officers
from the United States steamers Brooklyn
and Powhattan have been blowing up soIne
of the houses with powder. There is no
water supply, and cisterns being mostly dry
it is now settled that the fire will not stop
until it reaches the harbor. 1t is now enter
ing the business part of the city, destroying
buildings containing heavy stocks of goods
and the loss will be very great. 1t looks now
as though the Hotel Russell would succumb
shortly.
THIRD DESPATCH.
The fire subsided at o'clock. The princi-
pal part of the town has been burned. Six
wharyes and five brick warehouses were de-
stroyed. The loss cannot be less than a mil
lion and a half dollars, with little insurance,
probably not 100000. About fifteen per-
sons were injured, of whom six were taken
to the marine hospital and the others on
board the men, of-war. No lives were lost.
