rumors had already reached Russia.
The admiral declares that the Russian
envoy was dragged through the streets
by the Boxers. insulted beaten, tor

kettle and boiled to death. The remains
We're thrown to the dogs. While NJ.
De Giers was being disposed of the

tinct. The legation officials are said
to have been tortured tiendishiy until
death ended their sufferings.
NJ De Giers and his legation Off
cials resisted desperately and his brave
body guard killed many of the attack

lures the envoy is said TO have hero

BUSINESS DISTRICT OF PRES.
COTT DESTROYED BY FIRE

Prescott, AriZ July 15-The fire which
started at 10:45 O'Clock last night was
not under control until 3 O'Clock this
morning when the fire fighters went
considerable distance in advance of
the flames and blew up the buildings
on the south side of Goodwin street,
preventing the fire from crossing the
street.
The burned district embraces five
blocks, in which are located the prin-
cipal mercantile houses, both banks,
both telegraph offices, the three news
papers, four hotels, every saloon and
every restaurant except one in the
town, besides scores of private resi-
denceS.
To add to the prevailing gloom, n
high wind has prevailed all day, send
ing smoke, dust and burning embers
in every direction. requiring the great
est vigilance to prevent another out
break of the flames.
Owing to the chaotic conditions eX
listing to-day, it is impossible to OBJ
tain an accurate account of the losses or
individual insurance. From interviews
with insurance agents, the total insur-
ance does not exceed S35O,Oo0.
The heaviest losers are as follows:
