Boise, Aug. 1S.-A special from Idaho
City says: Placerville is in ruins to-
night. a fire started about o'clock
this evening in the Neasy hail by the
overturning of a lamp. For more than
four hours the fire ragged furiously
and the flames at this hour III 80 p. M
are still dancing like spectres over the
embers lighting up systematically the
awful gloom through which peer dozens
of homeless and heartsick people. With
the exception of a few residences, the
town is wiped out. The business por-
with number of residences in the
main part of the town.
1t Is impossible to secure all the de-
tallS tonight, as the telephone lines
are down. All the information came
from Centerville, which is seven miles
west of this place and about four miles
east Of Placerville.
The fire originated in a hall owned
by John Veasy, by the overturning of
lamp The interior of the place was
soon ablaZe and the flames burst
through. The town had no fire pro-
lection and all the water that could be
secured was from wells. The hall
burned like finder and in short time
the fire had spread to adjoining build
ings. Within 30 minutes it was like a
furnace. Every wooden building fur
nished excellent food for the fire. which
met practically no resistance
Idaho City has sent three wagon
loads of provisions and a dozen wagon
loads of tents. provision, etc, have
been started from Boise The loss is
estimated all the way from 5000, 900 to
$5OO,OOo with very little insurance.
Placerville was one of the oldest
towns in the state. having popula-
ton of between COO and 700. The town
sprang into existence during the early
days of placer excitement.

the towns, but are expected. The depotS
in many towns are already surrounded
by a large number of hungry people. The
mayors of the towns have received no
authority to dispense money, but most
of them are contributing generously out
Of their own pockets to supply the most
urgent needs
As far as Caguas and Cayey the SAM
tary conditions are not threatened, but
reports from towns further south state
that their condition is dangerous. The
peril lies in the herding of the inhabitants
in the towns. Several of the soldiers were
wounded during the recent hurricane, but
it is learned that there were no deaths
among them. The best posted persons
agree that it will be necessary to provide
work for the inhabitants and seeds for
the next planting.
An official report from Guayamas saws
that 265 houses We're destroyed, LIZ ,seri-
ously injured and 204 damaged by the
storm. In the district surrounding May

children are homeless and begging shell

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
Sir Charles Upper Says America Is Pur-
poseIy Delaying Settlement.

London, Aug. 1S.-Sir Charles Tup-
per, formerly Canadian high commits
sioner, in an interview with a repre-
sentative of the associated press, said:
The United States is purposely de-
laying the settlement of the Alaskan
dispute on account of the pecuniary
benefit accruing to miners and coast
cities through delay and has refused
to have the boundary delimited as is
being done in Venezuela. No settle
ment ever could be reached through
the commission suggested by the Tit
ed States. We have reached an i'm
passe and have no intention of resum-
ing negotiations in regard to matters
pending between Canada and America
until the Alaskan question is settled
/ propose that British railroad be
built from Kitimata to Dawson and
that law be passed allowing only
Britishers to mine on the Yukon. The
moment this is done the object of the
United States in preventing a settle
ment disappears. The Dominion is a
unit in supporting Sir Wilfrid I.aurier's
stand"

Wnn As He pleased

New York. Aug. 1S.-JOe Bernstein of
New York won almost as he pleased
from Solly Smith of California in their
fight at the Broadway Athletic club to-
night, and he beat him down 10 uncOn-
sciousness in the 18th round.
All that was exciting and dramatic
came in the 18th and 18th rounds, and
when Referee John White counted off
the significant 10 seconds the ring was
surrounded by a crowd that hOwled it
self hoarse. Beyond a clever display of
skill, speed and stiffness on the part
of both men, the opening rounds We're
not exciting. Smith, in the opening of
the 18th round, sprang across the ring
and made a desperate lunge at his man.
Bernstein stopped him with his left
and then in fierce rally in the middle
of the ring sent the Californian down
with his right. He knocked Smith down
three times more in this round and in
the 18th landed a heavy swing. which
ended the fight
