AGAINST FEARFUL. ODDS.
Bremen Work BrnveIy In the Face
 of Advancing Flames.

of Advancing Flames.
 Baltimore Feb S-Noon.-The burn ing area stretches for blocks along the harbor in the southeast section, the old part of the city. The tiremen are working bravely. but against fearful odds The area is enveloped in smoke that rises in great volumes and rolls away over the rest of the city. Stretch ing back. along Jones' Falls. is a host of buildings gutted by the flames, From the Lombard street bridge, look ing westward is a scene of utter de- struetion. What were once large, sub stantial structures are now a mass of smoldering debris, few walls here and there standing like sentinels over the ruins Huge piles of bricks, tan gled networks of electric wires. few remnants of walls and here and there telegraph poles burned are all that le- main to mark the progress of the con- lagration in this direction.
 Dynnmiting BuiIdinss.
 The firemen are dynamiting buildings and walls in the burning area, and the detonations of the explosions and the shrill whistles of the fire engines add to the indescribable horror of the scene.
 Every few minutes the fall of walls can be heard Travel through this dis triet is fraught with the greatest dan ger. and even in the outlying parts of the districts flames can be seen eating their way through the ruins. and tot tering walls make ingress and egress more difficult
