and Commercial hotels are destroyed. II Is est
mated that the total loss in building alone IS
$40 O0O 600 and the personal losses will probably
reach twenty millions. 1t is thought that many
persons must have persisted in the flames Giant
powder was used to blow up the buildings IN the
hone of STAYING the progress of the flames but to

lvnched for stealing. The loss is now variously
estimated at from fifteen to forty millions. The
city is guarded by militia. When the Ioka y

were near it and many were crushed. Similar
accidents befeI most of the big buildings. Any
estimate OF the loss of life would be simply guess
