CONSTANTINOPLE, Asia Minor,
August 11.-At ieas; one thousand
men, women and children are dead.
five thousand more are seriously in
1G"ed, untold millions of dollars worth
Of property has been destroyed. and
this ancient city is in ruins and the
earthquake and fire which. in quick
sequence have dealt staggering blows
to the Turkish empire yesterday and
the day before
First reports of the disaster which
has visited ConstantinOple failed to
do more than hint at the vastness of
the catastrophe The whole city is e
mass of ruins. Ola buildings and en-
tire sections have been wiped clean
Off the face of the earth and their
places taken by bIaC kened heaps of
tangled wreckage, hiding charred bod
les of the hundreds of victims.
Just how many nave actually lost
their lives beneath the burning build
ings it is at present impossible to
even estimate but one thousand is be-
lieved to be we'll within them ost con-
servative limits. The injured whose
wailings and screams fill the streets,
and whose hideously mangled bodies
SlCken the rescners. will easily num-
Der five times that many.
Nor is COnstantinoNle the only suf
feTer. From all over the surrounding
country come reports of devastation
and de- tru"tion. Villages have been
engulfed. have disappeared leaving
hardly a trace. Towns with thousands
OF inhabitants have been obliteranted
and the dead toll outside Of the city
is likely . to prove far greater than
within.
The earthquake, which started the
fire, killed hundreds in Constantinople
but the flames did by far the major
PORTION of the damage. AS soon as
they began to make Roadway, which
they did immeGiat ely after the tremb-
lor passed, and left the terrified city
to take stock of the damage, the au-
thorities began the work of fighting
them. From the Yildiz Kiosk, where
he had been spending a few days

and his Grand Vizier, Said Pasha, hur-
ried into the CITY, accompanied by a
squadron of the Sultan's hodvguard of
Cavalry. Mehmed V. worked furious
ly all day relieving the situation as
far as possible, and seeing that the
wounded and suffering were aided as
much as possible.
