HAVOC IS WORKED
BY AN INCENDIARY
Politics Believed to Have Been
Cause Of Damaging Fire in
Constantinople.

Constantinople, July 25.-The. conflag-
ration which started yesterday after

Two square miles OF the city was de-
vastated. It Is roughly estimated that
over 5000 houses were destroyed. The
greater number of these were wooder
buildings, but several important stone
structures were ruined.
The European quarters across the
Golden Horn to the north and east was
at no time in danger, owing to the
