Further Fire Details.

VALDEZ, July 16.-The devasta- ton wrought by the fire at this place yesterday in the district between the Cliff hotel and Che Valdez Banking & Mercantile company yesterday and Mckinley street and the water front was complete. In that district there is not a structure standing. Tho build. ings were an of wood. and the dry weather had made finder of them The flames licked up the houses with a rapidity that was astonishing.
 The tide was low when 5he fire reached the beach. and the heat pre- vented the owners of a score of launches that were on. the beach from launching their craft and one of the principal losses are the boats. Many of them were owned by prospectors and those who trade with surrounding sections on Prince William Sound
 Many people who resided in the burned district lost all Of their per sonal belongings and not a few Of them are in keen distress It is esti mated that more than 300 people lived in the burned district
 Two streams of water were playing on the fire in a short time after ii was discovered, but they had no effect on the flames at all. Buildings were quickly dynamited, but the fire leap across the gaps the dynamiters made and continued devastation

FIGHTING
 IS HAND
 TO HAND

LONDON, July 1s.-Thc armiee of the Alice and the Germans are tightly locked in terrific hand to hand engagements at many places along the western front. The center Of greatest interest is she battle in the Aroonne forest, which bas proeeeged with vloI- ence but irregular resuIts. lt cuI- minated today in the recapture by the French of Hill No. 2s5, which the troops of Grown Prince Fred erick William had captured by otorm July is. This victory seems to mean that the fruits Of the frat impetuouo German attack In this vicinity which cost them severely in life and ammunition seems to have been completely lost.
 Not only at places In the Argon- ne region. where the cermans continue to resist the French ad- vance, but elsewhere along the western front in France, bomb and grenade fighting, and the bayonet, have taken the place of the artillery and men are every where at close quarters battling hand to hand in trenches and be- tween them.
 The indications are that the lines are 60 closely srIpped In the form of struggle which 60 often has led to a virtual draw along the western front.

 MENACING WARSAW

LONDON. July 16-The capture of Przasynsz yesterday by Gen. von Hindenburg brings that veteran into the limelight again as the most men acing commander of the Teutonic armies. He is again within the zone which his army entered last. winter when Warsaw was threatened, and saved only through Russian counter movements to the north and south of bis front. The offensive movement north of Won Hindenburg threatened to ervelop him or cut of his supplies. and he was compelled to retreat.
 cailcia situation Not Dangerous.
 Petrograd appears not apprehensive or account of the latest German drive that has been started in Southeastern Galicia. The Austrian and German forces are again crossing the Dnies- ter river, and they are encountering the same whitening Russian artillery fire which prevented them from ac- complaining the movement over week ago. However the troops that are making their way across the rlver are engaging the Russians, and fight ing is again becoming lively.
 In many places the Russian artil. lery has prevented the enemy from making the crossing of the river, and those who have succeeded have done SO at great cost
 Fighting Active In Caucasus.
 Fighting has again become active in the most distant portion of the Russian front in Caucasia where the Russians and Turks both claim sue cesses.
