DENVER. July 2.--The news reaches here that Durango is being swept by fire. Already one-third of the town, princl- pally business houses. but many dwell lngs included, lay in smoking wreckage. At present, 1t is said, the loss aggregates s5O0,OOO, though in view of the meager- ness of details it may possibly go above that figure. AS yet no lives are re- ported lost.
 Later.--Intelligencen now says the fire broke out at 3 this afternoon in the south part of tho city, and in an incredi- ply short time tho flames, assisted by 6 strong wind, spread in every direction, leaping from building to building, until at this writing, half of the town Is in ashes. Every business house and pulp tion of the post-of1ce and Strater's hotel, Is burned to the ground.
 The wind Is still blowing and the fire Is entirely beyond control. The telegraph office Is threatened and may soon go. What the final result will be cannot now be foretold. Should the flames be com- municated to the residence part of the city. which is not unlikely, what was but q few hours ago the flourishing city of Durango will soon be nothing but mass of charred debris and ashes. The fire department responded nobly, but was completely powerless. The origin of tho conflagration has not been learned.
 Tho fire Is now raging in the residence part of the town. Two churches, the courthouse, the "ldea" newspaper office and the Grand Central hotel, the Clipper theater and city hall, besides dozen saloons and several large wholesale mer- cantile houses are totally destroyed. Two blocks of residences on the Boule- ward, the handsomest street in the city, are gone.

Before the match was shot tho Massa- chusetts team was entertained by the Honorable artillery company. After a drive through Hyde Park and Kew Gar dens they dined at the Star and Garter hotel, Richmond. On returning they drove to Wembledon camp and began to practice.
 The result of the match was awaited with unusual interest by the American colony. The Americans, after the shoot. ing, were taken in charge by the Honor- able artillery, who entertained at mess. Before leaving the range both teams were photographed.
 The Americans spoke of the range, however. in anything but fattering terms, several saying it was the worst they had ever struck. The proximity of the houses was something they were en- tirely unaocustomed to. and this occa- stoned some alarm on the part of most of the visitors.
 Besides this, shooting was frequently interrupted by passing trains, and the wind exhibited some notable eccentric lties, probably due to tho peculiar forma- ton of tho ground. In view of all the obstacles encountered, the record of the American team Is considered quite satis- factory.

AMERICAS TEAM WINS
Massachusetts Boys Defeat the Crack
 British Rlflemen.
SCORE WAS, l.O15 TO ooI
Leads Ills sCountrymen-TheR Range Not . Good One-Individual Records of fAmerloa's Reuresenta eavas.

LONDON, July 2.-The Massachusetts rife team began tho first series of con- tests with the English crack shots at Nunhoad yesterday and signalized the occasion by q fine victory, beating the Honorable Artillery team, which ranks high among British marksmen, at two of three ranges.
 An 2OO yards the Americans scored 354 to their opponents 3l5 at 500 yards they stood 365 to 34l, and at GOO yards the score was 2Sb for tn Americans to 3O5 for the Honorable Artillery team. The to- tal at the three ranges stands l,O15 for the Americans to 961 for the home team.
 The Americans were not in as good condition for the contest as their friends would have wished. They were greatly 1atigued after their long journey and the many receptions rendered them and the usual round of social events to which they were invited, did not allow them to get the rest they most desired. In addi- ton to this the wind was light but varia- ble and very puzzling to the visitors. The grounds also were different to those they had been accustomed to.
 Nevertheless, the Americans make a very acceptable record. It Is generally believed that the Massachusetts men will win the majority of the events they are engaged to compete in, and it would not surprise mary people to see them win them all. Bumstead made q good showing in the shooting.
 But for an accident to his gun in the sixty yards contest he would have made an exceptionally brilliant record. As 1t was he Tod his countrymen in tho total score. At the 200 yards range he made thirty-three out of a possible thirty-five, and at the 500 yards competition he re- peated the score. At 600 yards he only succeeded in making twenty-three. Had his gun not failed him he would no doubt have made at least thirty
 There were three ranges, and each man had seven shots at each. From the first the Americans showed their supe- riority and the final result was never in doubt. There was great applause when Doyle made seven consecutive bullseyes at tho 5OO-yard range. AS rule the Americans shot very evenly, and the English Iuarksmen, at tho end of the tournament, complim, ntcd their oppo- nents on their magnificent work.
 Tho individual scores of tho Massachu- setts team arc here given:
