Many Houses Burned.
Fires still are burning in the Sack
vile street center. Throughout the
night the flames rose high above the
roofs 1t was, of course, impossible
for the firemen to do anything to fight
the confiagration as both sides still
were sniping each other.
The military authorities are unable
to give any idea of the damage done
by these fires, or of the number of
buildings consumed. They think,
however, that between fifteen and
twenty houses, mainly business con-
Germs, have been destroyed.
