with energy, and in this respect the situation
seemed to be improving. 1t was thought ths
fire would be under control tonight.
The statement is made that the total loss OF
life has not yet been ascertained but first
count gives the number of dead at fewer than
one hundred and the number of wounded st
several hundred. The hospitals are filed with
injured persons. and every thing possible is be-
ing done for their comfort
The principal hotel of Kingston (prooably the
Myrtle Bank and other important buildings
have been destroyed. and other houses in King
ston sustained considerable damage.
The flames apparently were confined 20 the
