Devastation Is Complete.
The burned area Is a scene of complete
devastation. Numberless buildings that
were the pride of Baltimore, costly and
stately, and oeeuplrd for divers purposes,
were gutted and only smouldering debris
and. walls and remnants of walls remain.
The American building, one of the finest,
Is now but smouldering debris, save rem
nants of the front and side walls. Across
South street, where stood the Baltimore
Sun building, only the pillars ttjat marked'
the front remain. Entire blocks ust below
there are Wiped out, wlrth'ou Ir) some eases
a wall left standing. From Fayette street
down Hnlllday street as far as German
street there Is no building leff save the
t'orn and Flour exchange at the corner of
German street. .
That building, whose walla tomer above
the crumbling debrla of what were rejoin
ing structures, was gutted and the standing
walls formed a cauldron, the flames of
which burst at times through the windows,
but could cause no further damage.. In
numerous other wrecked buildings the.
fames played about the debris and threat-'
ened to weaken the foundations' of the few
Walls that were left.
i
', Ho BaHdlngs Left Standing!.
. Like a grim tower In the ruins standa
the walls of the flfteen-atory Continental
Trust company's building. The walls of the
Baltimore & Ohio building are still stand
ing, but the Pennsylvania railroad building,
directly across Calvert street, la razed.
Only the walla remain of the once stately
Equitable building. Remnants of one wall
are leftvof what was the National hotel at
Holllday and Fuyette streets, No build
ings are left standing as far aa the eye can
see down Baltimore street from this point.
All along South Oay street there Is the
same picture of complete destruction. A
broken sign and a front wall, tottering,
show where the Women's Christian Tem
perance Union building once stood. Ad
joining this was the building occupied by
the Iron Ship company, and nearby the
British consulate, whose building Is a com
plete lose. The building used by the Ger

ruins. The costly t'nlted Btatea customs

Roblnsqn, dealer In seeds, and the Martin
Wagner company, cannera and packers,
opposite the slip from the power house,
were destroyed and the ruins burned
throughout the evening. Many of the oc
cupants of Pratt street were saloonkeepers
and dealers In second-hand goods. There Is
nothing today to Indicate that these places
ever existed save for brick piles.
Took Prompt Action.
Notwithstanding the magnitude of the
catastrophe the absence of disorder and
confusion was remarkable. This was due
to the prompt action r.f the state and city
authorities who, as soon as they realized
that they had a calamity to deal with,
took a tight grip on the situation and never
for an Instant let go. Tonight the fire dis
trict and th territory Immediately sur
rounding It Is under the strictest mili
tary control.
During the confusion of Sunday, night
detachments of regulars from nearby forts
were sent to the fire district and as
slated the polio In maintaining order and
restraining the great crowds from en
croaching upon the firemen. The Fourth
and Fifth regiments of Baltimore, ordered
out by Governor vl'arfleld, came. on. duty

Brigadier General Rlggs. . T,he jnen who
numbered 1,200. were distributed about the

. Scores of telegrams were received ,by
Mayor McLane profferlngrasslB.tance.to the
.cltlsens of Baltimore who have suffered
as a result of the awfur fire. They came
from mayors of cities, railways and other
corporations and from prominent citizens
all over the country. President RamVejy
of the Wabash and .Western Maryland
railroads sent the following telegram:
. "The Western Maryland Railroad com'
pany tenders Its service In handling . or
moving supplies of any kind tn and from
Baltimore In Its terrible calamity."
Remarkable Lack of Casualties.
In the several departments that make up
the city government ther were busy scenes
all day. All heads of departments and
those under them had been on duty since
Sunday, and the strain on these men was
great. The mayor had an extremely busy
time of It. On every hand he was bealeged
for passes through the fire lines and.- In
each case was compelled to firmly refuse
and direct all persons to the brigadier gen
eral. Then the disappointed ones would
make their way through crowds to the gen
eral's headquarters, only to be again dis
appointed. ;
The fire was most remarkable tn many
ways, but more so In the lack of casualties.
It can safely be. said that no great fire In
this country can show a smaller dead or
Injured list. Vn to tonight -the-, number
treated In the hospitals will not -be more
than fifty. In the city hospital thirty-five
persons were treated during the progress ef
the fire and only one waa compelled to re

hospital treated about a dosen firemen and
policemen.

Conditions at an Knrly Hoar.
There was little sleep for the 7i4,030
residents of Baltimore last night because
of the terrific conflagration which
started Sunday forenoon. While there
were ' no live lost, the monetary
loss will probably reach J'.'Oi.OfiO.OW.
Acres of the most vamabie prop
erty in the wholesale dry goods, produce,
lumber, shipping and railroad districts
have ben destroyed. At thla hour, not
withstanding heroic efforts on the part of
the local fire department, reinforced by
many firemen from Washington, Phila
delphia, Wilmington, Newark, N. J.,
Newark, Del., Ilarrisburg and New York
City, the fire la raging as furiously as it
was an hour after It originated In the
cellar of the John E. Hurst company at
Liberty and German streets.
Its origin Is said to have been spon
taneous combustion, but no tangible evi
dence to this effect has thus far been
secured. '
Dynamite Is t nnialllng. '
Several tons of dynamite were used dur
ing the da and rilght to blow up build
ings In an effort to check the spread of
the flames, but even thla was unavailing,
and the strong wind which blew the flying
embers hither, and thither soon ignited
other-buildings. . . ...
All the newspaper buildings, including
the offices of the Associated Press, were
destroyed by midnight. Several publishers
arranged at once to have their editions

Fire on Wharves.1
This morning the Are was burning Aercely
along Pratt atreet from Light street to a
point not yet determinable. It had gutted
the old and new buildings along that thor
oughfare, and on the wharves, which house
hundreds of Arms doing business all over
the world. It had swspt away tha bridge
over Jones Falls and burned Into tha great
freight terminals of the Pennsylvania an
Baltimore A Ohio railroads oh Preaidsn
street.
Millions of feet of lumber have gone u
In smoke already and the Are Is still burn
ing with the Aerceness which has charsc
tertsed It since It started In the vast mnu
ufacturlng district, following the harbor
lines toward Canton.
To describe In detail the Are, which will
go down In the history of the world as
one of He greatest disasters. Is simply a
Impossibility; just as It Is Impossible at this
time to give an adequate Idea of tha
amount ef loee, the number of buildings
destroyed, or the Arms which have gone
out of business. These 'are facts which
will not develop for days to come.
Baltimore's equipment of twenty-five en
glnes was almost Useless. Reinforced by
four companies from Washington, aa man
more from Philadelphia. . two more from
Wilmington and another from Chester, Pa
It was still unable to check tn any way,
during the night, the progress of the flames.

All electrical power has been .destroyed
and no street cars ars' running
About midnight the Wind,' which had been
blowing strongly from the southwest, with
tendency to switch to the westward,
began to come In a gale from the north
west. At this hour the flames were headed
directly fof the tenement districts, across
the falls, where frightened foreigners were
working like demons to save their house
hold effects.
Temporarily the change In the wind saved
them, for the flames were driven toward
he water front, . and all buildings from
Baltimore street down to Pratt street, soon
were a roaring mass of fire. From then
on Pratt street became the center of the
re, which burned block after block of
business structures on tha thoroughfare
from Chafles street eastward to the falls.
Roughly speaking, the fire In Its course
described a half circle on Its northern and
western edges, curving 'from Lombard and
Iberty streets to Fayette and St. Paul
streets, and' then sweeping. around toward
Market place, and Lombard streets.' The
hole effect of this course of the fire was
to describe an' Immense question mark.

Firemen Abandon Knglne.
Among the out of town Ore departments
which responded were two companlee from
Wilmington, Del. While flgh'.lng the
ames on Boklens' wharf-the Wilmington
remen found retreat cut oft by an ex
plosion of the Standard Oil company's
warehouse. A panic ensued, and the Are-
men yelled for assistance. Feveral tugn
came to their rescue and they were taken
off, abandoning their engine. A few min-
tcs later the entire wharf was a mass of
flames. Among the principal buildings
which . were razed to the ground In this
elghborhood. Were those of the Standard
Oil company, the Patapsco OH -company,
the United States Fruit company, the Balti
more Fruit company, J. J. .Underbill, W. C.
Robinson, Baughan & Son, and N. Frank
Sons. i-
Dynamite was proved - most useless last
night when building after building In the
neighborhoods of Charles and Baltimore
streets was blown up to stay the flames.
It seemed as If the .Are fiend laughed at
such paltry efforts, -for the flames simply
umped these vacant spaces and licktd up
the buildings on the far sides. -,
Calls Legislature- In Extra Session.
The common remark of cltlsens Is that
Baltimore has received a blow from which
It cannot recover for years. Mayor McLane
Is ' among those who are optimistic and
today, whllo expressing his sorrow over
the calamity, expressed the hopeful convic
tion that this city .will quickly rise like a
Phoenix from Its ashes.
It Is anticipated that there may be
much suffering and destitution following
upon the heels, of the destructive visita
tion, and. Mayor, McJjane'. and other city
officials are already discussing relief meas
ures. It .Is sald.as. niany ns 20,000. per
sons' wlli be thrown out of employment, and
many of these and their families will be
without resources.

berolo preventive was not so urgent
today as. yesterday. , The expediency of
using dynamite was decided upon by the
Board of l?srlmate, composed of Mayor
McLane, Building , Inspector Preston . and
the city engineer.
A cltlsens' meeting hag been called by
Mayor McLane to asesmble at the city hall
today to consider measures of relief.
Fire Breaks-Ont Again.
At 11:46 a. m. the fire Is sweeping along
the harbor and river men are taking their
vessels rapidly out into the middle of the
stream. - There are seventy-five or 100 of
these and they are anchored down the bay.
The buildings of the Standard Red Sea OH
company and the Buckman Fruit company
are In flames. .
At noon the burning area stretches for
blocks along the harbor to the southeast
section,' the old part of the city. The Are-
men are working bravely, but against fear
ful odds. The area la enveloped In smoke,
that rises In great volumes and rolls away
over the rest of the city. Stretching back
along Jones i Falls is a host of buildings
gutted by flames. From the Lombard
street bridge westward Is a scene of utter
destruction. What were once large, sub
stantial structures are now a. mass of
smoldering debris,-- a few -walls here and i
there standing like sentinels over the ruins.
Huge piles of . sticks, tangled networks' of
electrlo wires, a few: remnants of walla
and here andthere telegraph poles burned
are all that remain to mark the progress
of the conflagration la that section.
The firemen are dynamiting buildings and
walla In the burning area and the Intona
tions of the explosions and the shrill whis
tles of the Are engines add to the Inde
scribable horror of the scene. Every few
minutes the fall of walls can be heard.
Travel throughout this district Is fraught
with tha 'greatest danger, and even In the
outlying parts of the district flames can be
seen eating their way through the ruins
and to ths roaring walls, making Ingress
and egress Impossible.'-
Losses ef Buildings.
The loss will not be accurately estimated
for weeks, for business men, prosperous
yesterday morning, ate poor today. Ex
pressions hesrd among these men as they
peer Into the collapsed properties reveal
an astounding number who were only
poorly protected by Insurance.
Inspector of Buildings Preaton, after
making a careful study of ths burned dis
trict, placed the building loss alone at
$150,000,000. t
Tonight It Is feared that aid must come
from adjacent cities, and a partial famine
.would be an additional phase to the situa
tion. Restaurants are without food and
the destruction of the commission houses
along ths wharves has shut off the means
of supply. Hotels are but little better off
and though they say they will be Able to
feed their guests. It Is admitted the vadety
will be lessened at once. Preparations are
being made to rush supplies from- New
York In order td" avert suffering la homes.
Late this afterneua at beoame poealMe to
locate the spot where Ihe march of (he
flames was stopped. After the burning of
the Maryland and American Ice com
panies' plants near tha Union docks few
buildings were destroyed. The Ice houses
held the flames for thrco hours, though In
the meantime the Norfolk wharf was con
sumed. The fire boat Cataract and several
New York engine companies held this dan
gerous neighborhood, and when the fire
entered the American Ice company's oonl
yards It was kept under control. The next
building In line was the Damast Packing
company's plant and this was but little
damaged. Wilson's lumber yards. Den-
mead Malting company's buildings, the
Merchants and Mariners Transportation
company's buildings and a number of others
virtually were snatched from the burning.
Local Are officials extend unstinted prnlse
to the Are companies from New York for
the brave stand they made at tha eastern
end of the Are belt. Time and u train they
were driven from their positions, but at
the coal yard they made a last stand and
won.
The water supply of.Ualtlmore Is causing
some concern among city officials. The
Are proved a serious drain upon the several
reservoirs of the city. Had it not been for
the waterway, which was not' only of assis
tance In checking the progress of the
flames, but also afforded a source of water
supply with which to fight the flames, It Is
difficult to Imagine where the Are would
have ended.
Revised 1. 1st of Rnlna.
The burned district Is within the territory
bounded on the west by Liberty street, on
the north by Lexington street, on the east
by Jones Falls and on the south by-the
basin. Within , this district were the big
structures on Fayette, Guy, Iximbart,
Charles, Balderson, Elliott, Hollingsworth
and Cheapslde streets. Passing southeast
along the ba-sln the following docks were
destroyed: McClure's, Patterson's, Smith's,
Frederick, Long and Union. ,
Small thoroughfares which extend as far
north as Lexington street and which were
In the path of tho flumes are Commerce,
Fredericks and Mill strceta. .The district
thus swept by the lire comprised seventy
five blocks and nearly 2,600 buildings.

losses, where obtainable. Where several
Arms are grouped the Iohh given is the total
