Trouble Said to Have Been Carefully

St. Petersburg Sept. I, 1880 .. M
Though the dispatch from Tifis and
current reports in St Petersburg say
that the oil works and tanks at Baku
have been entirely consumed and the
town practically wiped out according
to dispatch 10 the Nobel company
from Baku, this is an error and the
loss though enormous is not complete.
This dispatch stated that the firing in
the town had ceased and that the in
cendiarism had been checked. The
fate of the tanks and works which are
not yet on fire depends On the wind,
which is blowing a hurricane. Unless
il changes and sweeps the fire back on
the unaffected districts there IS hope
of saving some OF the properties. The
