 SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.-The follow ering brief particulars of the fire that is raging at Seattle were received here in a disconnected form before the wires went down: The wind was blowing quite strongly at the time the fire first started and when the fire swept around the Pontin,s building was roaring mass of flames. The firemen worked with a | will but were wholly unable to cope with the fire. The flames rose high in the air and sparks were carried far away by the | high wind and spread broadcast over that part of the city lying to the south | which contained many infiamable | buildings. Within an hour the Opera and Colman blocks as we'll as the Denny block were in flames. The Denny and Colman blocks were filled with infiam- able material and burned fiercely. The heat was so intense that the firemen were hardly able to approach the burn ing buildings. Unless the wind dies down nothing can save that part of the city lying to the south. The firemen are becoming discouraged as they see the fire IS spreading beyond their con trol. The people are moving out and the streets are crowded, as vehicles of every description have been pressed into service. It Is thought the loss at pres ent will be least S5,0O0,O0O. SAN FRANCIsCo, June 6.-The West ern Union has lost all its wires to Seattle.
