SALEM RAZED BY FIRE
HISTORIC MASSACHUSETTS TOWN
DESTROYED BY FLAMES.
Thousands Made HcmeIess-Water
Fails and Buildings Are Dy-
namited to Stop Fire

Salem. Mass, June &C. This historic
city of $4,000 population was swept Dy
IRE on Thursday. Almost the entire
city was destroyed. 1t Is the greatest
American eonfiagration since the Chel-
sea disaster in 1908. AT midnight the
great fire lighting force Of nearly one
thousand men drawn from all the
cities and towns within a radius OF
Is miles was helpless. The water sup
ply 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
greatly 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 a fresh gale from the
northwest the fire spread. Carried a
mile by flying embers, the fire broke
out in other sections of the city until
at least three large sized confiagrac
tions were raging in the city.
Panic reigns in the city. The
militia. aided by nearly one thousand
policemen from this and other cities,
stand guard about the ruins, keeping
OF looters
The Salem hospital with List Of
200 patients was destroyed. Automo-
biles were used to remove the pa
TENTS. Clarence Kirkland was in
charge of the machines and has al
ready removed dozen sick men and
women.

 DEBTS OF HUER7A
CARRANZA SAYS HE WILL NOT RECOGNIZE OBLIGATIONS IN
 CURRED BY HUERTA.
Rebel Chief Notified Foreign Gov ernments That Huerta's Bonds Were Illegal.

Monterey, Mexico July 16.-"Gen- eral Carranza will not recognize any of the debts of Huerta after he en- ters Mexico City and establishes a constitutional government there,' was the statement made here today by high constitutionalist officials. It was in answer to questions concern ing statement said to have been published in the United States that the foreign nations had made a de- mald through Washington that Car ranza agree to recognize the legality of the debts of Huerta and grant am nesty to all political prisoners.
 General Carranza himself. the off cials pointed out, previously made his position clear on these questions. He has made it plain, they said, the con stitutionalists held Huerta's govern ment an illegal one, founded on treachery and assassination, that all its acts were illegal, and that Car
 ranza would recognize the legality of no contract of Huerta's.
 In addition, at the trme of the floating of the foreign loans to Hu- erta, it was recalled General CarranZa notified the foreign powers that Hu- erta ''eould not legally contract such
 debt, that Huerta's bond issue was illegal, and that the constitutionalists would not recognize the transac- tions'
 General Carranza did not comment personally today on the alleged Eu- ropea1 demand as the matter had not been officially communicated to him. But his close advisers stated that his attitude in the matter was un- changed.
 A general amnesty was regarded by constitutionalist officials as out of the question. General CarranZa, 1t was said, had made his attitude pain with regard to Huerta personally, but
 officials were not inclined to discuss
 the question of amnesty of others
 until some official confirmation of the demand had been received.

PORTIONS OF THREE FIGHTING DIVISIONS WILL ENTER MEX
 ICo CITY TOGETHER.
VILLAS TROOPS TU MOVE
Planned That Three Division Com manders With 5000 Troops Each Will Share Honors of Occupying Capital City of Mexico.

El Paso, Texas, July 16--The peace commissioners who will invite the constitutionalists to take possession of Mexico City left the capital today for Guadalaiara, said unofficial ad- vices received here tonight.
 General Alvaro Obregon has estab- lished headquarters at Guadalaiara. the capital Fifteen thousand troops, 5000 from each division of the consti- tutionalist army, will enter Mexico City simultaneously, according to constitutionalist officers here. This plan, it was pointe dout, would pre- vent jealousy between the three divi- sions of the army. It was predicted that each division commander. Villa, Obregon and Gonzales, would lead his own command into the capital. After military rule has been established in Mexico the other troops ia three di- visions will visit the capital If this plan is carried out more than 50000 constitutionalist soldiers will be quartered in Mexico City within q 1 few weeks.
 There is no ground for the belief
 that my troops are in Chihuahua for
 any other purpose than recuperation. :"
 said General Villa today in Juarez 'I expect to take my troops toward
 Mexico City in a few days. There is no need for apprehension regarding
 my stay in the north region"
 Replying to a question whether 1t was true that there are still some
 differences among the constitutional
 ists General Villa said he knew of none.
 Word was received at Villas head quarters of the death today from ty- phoid fever of Gen. Torribio Ortega, in Chihuahua City. He was regarded as Villas favorite commander and the northern soldiers called him the Honorable Ortega''
 General Benayides, commander of the famous Zaragoza brigade of Villas division, arrived in Juarez late today from Chihuahua City on d special train. He. too, has typhoii fever. American military authorities have granted an informal request made by the Villa officials to permit Benavides to enter an Fl Paso hos Ipital.
