ExTINGUISHED AT LAST.
Firemen and Soldiers Succeed In
Subduing the Flames at
Antwerp.

ANTWERP, Sept. "a dense mass OF
smoke still rises from the burned quar-
ter and hangs like pail over the whole
city. The flames have, however, been
subdued and the efforts of the firemen
and the troops to prevent their spread
have been successful. The ruins of the
hurded buildings are still too hot to
admit of much effective work toward
recovering the bodies of the dead, but
enough has been gathered by the brave
explorers among the smoking ruins to
make it certain that the death list
WILL NOT FALL SHORT OF 200,
if, indeed, it does not largely exceed
that number. At the moment of
the explosion and the outbreak
of the fire many workmen on the docks
Jumped into the Scbeldt and were
drowned. II is estimated that 1000
tons of cartridges exploded. The report
of the explosion was heard thirty miles,
and the volume of smoke arising ex-
ceeded that of any of EurOpe's greatest
battles. Heads, legs, arms and other
fragments of human bodies were found
half a mile distant from the scene OF the
explosion.
100 WHOLE CoRPSES
were taken to the morgue and charred
heaps of human flesh and bones, repre-
senting an unknown quantity OF human
ity, are also piled in the dead houses.
The continuous noise of exploding bar
rels of oil and falling ruins OF buildings,
together with the roaring and cracking
of the flames, exactly resembled the
sound of a fiercely contested battle. The
river banks, out of the reach of the
flames, are covered with men, women,
and children who,
RENDERED DESTITUTE AND HOMELESS,
are camping out and taking most des
perate chances of obtaining food. The
efforts of the firemen were greatly i'm
peded by the scarcity of water, resulting
from the destruction by fire of three
fourths of the entire system OF water
works, which were of comparatively re
cent construction and cost 100000.
KING LEOPOLD VISITS THE SCENE.
King Leopold and a number OF hi

it, save the scene which Paris pre-
