Many people were burneil to death and there was o terrible panic , during which a number of persons wcro Injured. The building in which the flro broke out was a temporary structure ot wood. The names weru llrst discovered above the stall occupied by the Duchcra d'Uses , mid while the place was densely crowded. The baraar la nn annual function presided over by the leaders of Parisian society. A terrible panic and crush followed the alarm of fire. There was a wild rush fet the exits and the weaker persons were borne down und trampled upon. The Inflammable nature of the building and contunlR caused tin ) flames to spread with great rapidity , and In acry short.time the bazaar was a mass of flames. The bodice of thirty victims of the con flagration , mostly women were afterwards le- cou-red and laid out on the sidewalk where the corpsra forim-d a ghastly spectacle. Many people , however , are still missing and It IB feared they are burled In the ruins. The number of lojured Is greater than wab at first estimated. Over 100 persons have boon conveyed to the Hotel du Palais. In the Cour d'Ln Heine , but many of the critical cases ha\o been transported to the hospital acauAon. A policeman who wan on duty at the doors of the bazaar says that from l.fiOO to l.SOO jicoplc wore In the building when the tire broke out. He adds that the alarm caused a general panic , follow rd by n terrible rush I ! < for the doors , which were soon choked with people , thus preventing the escape of many who might othciwlBQ have been saved. The strong tinniplocl upon the weak , the joung crushed the old to the floor. Heartrending ing cries of fear arose on all Bides , soon fol lowed by shrieks ot agony as the flames avveut onward behind the crowd struggling for the doois.

'Iho conespondent of the Dally Telegraph at Velestlno under date of Saturday sajs : In the battle here yester day , which continued throughout the day , 12,000 Turks made lopeatcd assaults on the Greek position at the railway junction. They wore finally driven from the field. The chief feature of the engagement was a brilliant ohar.ip of 1 GOO Circassian cavalry , In order to cipture a field battery , which was sup polled on each Hank by strong bodies of Gicck infantry. The Circassians nearly leached the guns , but swept by a flanking musketry fire , they were foiced to retreat , the battery shelling the reti eating horse men with such execution that the wheat fleld were covered with the bodies of men and horse's. The Greek troops have entirely recovered their morale , and their splendid condition shows what able commanders can do with the tioois. The Greek losses were chlelly duo to the Infantry force. Very few of the Turkish shells exploded. The enemy retreated out of sight toward Larlt > a during the night. An Inspection of the battlefield reveals a long line of wheat fields strewn w Ith corpses. The Turkish attempt to out- flink fie Greek right proved very disastrous owing to the murderers musketry fire which pourel down the slope held by the Infantr ) and Hv/ones. The Turkish cavalry charge on the Gicek left seemed an act of sheer mildness for the horsemen had to ascend a long steep Incline In the face of two strong Intrenchmcrts of Infantry. riiiiM ; THU OHIIIC : POSITION. llilliem I'llNlin Inspected ( o lliiKe a llo\e In 1'uri'O Soon.
