Stop 5ordas's Bombardment Of Puer.
IA Plata In Hurry.

. Washington.-The bombardment Of
the rebel city, Puerta Plata, by Presi.
dent Bordas, of Santa Domingo, was
silenced by fire from the main battery
of the American gunboat Machias.
Only a few shots were fired. The
Machias, which carries eight four-inch
guns, was sent into the inner harbor
at Puerta Plata prepared for battle
after the Dominican forces had time
and again violated an agreement not
to use artillery in attacking the rebel
forces holding the port.
Captain Russell was sent to Domin-
lean waters with general instructions
to protect American and other foreign
lives and property.
During the weeks he has been in
Dominican waters Captain Russell
has made numerous Intellectual at
tempts to bring the leaders of the
opposing armies to peaceful agree
ment. Several futile conferences
were held on board the American bat
tleship between representatives Of
the Federals under President Bordas
and the Revolutionists.

New York, June 29.-H. B. Claflin

manufacturers and dealers in dry

the $34.O00,O00 owed to banks on dis

Others are going into receiverships in
various cities throughout the coun'
try. A few of the stores may be able
to finance themselves, but the bank
ers most conversant with affairs OF
the Claflin concern say that this for
tunate condition applies to not more
than two or three of the establish.
ments affected.
Though several of the stores con
trolled by the famous dry goods house
have followed the Clafiin company into
the hands of receivers, confidence was
expressed among business men here
that the great firms financial sol
vency would be ultimately established
Predictions were made that its debts
would be paid dollar for dollar and
that it would resume its place in the
business world after a reorganiza
ton.
Fears aroused by the fact that the
paper Of the firm was scattered among
5000 banks, representing practically
every city having $4,000 or more in
habitants, were partially relieved
when it became known that the
way in which the paper was scattered
would probably prevent any wide
spread financial difficulties. For many
hours after the failure became known
1t was feared that many of the bank!
would have to suspend.

FIRE RAzES SALEM
HISTORIC MASSACHUSETTS TOWN
PRACTICALLY DESTROYED
BY FLAMES.
THOUSANDS MADE HOMELESS
Water Falls and Buildings Are Dyna-
mIted to Stop FIamss-Number Of
Dead Is unknown-Martlal Law
Declared.

Salem, Mass, June 26.-This historic
city Of $4,000 population was swept by
fre on Thursday. Almost the entire city
was destroyed. 1t is the greatest Amer
lean conhagration since the Chelsea
disaster in 1908. At midnight the great
fire fighting force OF nearly one thou
sand men drawn from all the cities
and towns within a radius of 20 miles
was helpless. The water supply gave
out
Dynamite took the place Of water in
the mad fight to check the flames. But
this was ineffective. The center of the
city was swept away by raging flames.
Fifteen thousand persons are home
less. The property loss will not be less
than ten million dollars and may great
ly exceed that figure.
Untold horrors have come In the
wake of this terrible calamity. Scores
have gone mad, driven insane by the
excessive heat and the excitement
The mercury stood at "a degrees when
with a small explosion fire broke out
in the leather factory in the manufac-
turing section of the city. Then came
the first alarm, second, a general and
then the calls for help to outside cities
and towns.
Famed by q fresh gale from the
northwest the fire spread. Carried a
mile by flying embers, the fire broke
out in other section Of the city until
at least three large sized confagrations
were raging in the city.
Panic reigns In the city. The militia,
aided by nearly one thousand police
men from this and other cities, stand
guard about the ruins, keeping on
looters.
The Salem hospital with list of 200
patients was destroyed. Automobiles
were used to remove the patients. Clar-
ence Kirkland was in charge Of the
machines and has already removed q
dozen sick men and women.
Governor Walsh arrived here on
Thursday accompanied by number Of
his military staff. He has taken charge
Of the militia situation.
Orders have been givea for food
supplies and bedding for the refugees.
Thousands are wandering about the
streets homeless and hungry.
The fire is the worst in the history
Of New England since the great Chel
sea fire. The suffering is greater than
at the Chelsea horror. The heat is ter
rife. Throughout the city the mercury
stood at over the one hundred mark.
Firemen fell in their tracks exhausted
by the heat
The dynamiters worked toppling
over buildings as II they we're made OF
straw, but their efforts were Of little
avail The flames leaped angrily
across the abysses made by the dyna-
miters and continued their work Of de-
struction
How many dead? is the query on
every ones lips. No estimate Is
made by the police or the tiremen. In
the excitement hundreds are unac-
counted for. The terrific heat makes
1t impossible to penetrate into the fire
zone. The firemen are without water
to wet down the ruins. No search can
be made for bodies under these condi-
tions. There was a persistent rumor
that 20 girls had been trapped in one
of the leather factories and had lost
their lives.

 The stock fuctuated feverishly and the four per cent. bonds were strong, but the balance of the list moved sl1Sgdshly within narrow limits, save for a few speciaIties. which rose moderately.

 London and Paris were again ob- serving holidays, so the local market derived no impulse from those centers. The resignation of the French ministry occasioned no surprise among the in- ternatfonal bankers, who admitted, however, that it might have some bearing on the national loan recently in process of negotiation by French bankers
