to defective apparatus. 1t is reported

There was some fighting in the
streets during the night, but the Amer

A number of the insurgents were
killed and several American soldiers
were wounded.
The large market place was among
the first to burn. Between 600 and 700
residences and business houses have
been destroyed.
Fires were started at several points
simultaneously and, spreading with
great rapidity, resisted all efforts to
control them.
