BIG FIRE IN HONGKONG.
$80,000 Damages. There was another big fire in the Colony last night, and one which at times looked like developing into one of the biggest outbreaks ever witnessed in Hongkong. It was shortly after saven o'clock that the alarm was raised, and the Fire Brigade were soon on their way to the scene of the conflagrationi at, Connaught Road West It appears that the, outbreak originated in a small general dealer's shop in Connaught; Read, and as there was plenty of inflam mable material lying about, including sexporni cases of snatches, the flames quickly spread until within a surprisingly short space of time two adjoining buildings in the same thoroughfare were also in the grip of the firo. But matters did not end hore, for aided by a strong wind which was blowing the flames crept along to two similar build- ings in Eastern Street. By the time the Fire Brigade Arrived the whole of these fire buildings, used is tenements on the upper storeys and as shops below, wore one mass of fames, and the greatest fears prevailed lost the fire should carry all be fora it and wipe out the whole black, of buildings. The two fire-engines were at once brought into play, the harbour float being also brought into use for the firet. time being operated by its new most- tor. This arrangement is something to the nature of a gatling gun which shoots out a huge spray of water with terrific force." Its extremely powerful, and Inst night it did splendid work although a long distance from the actual contegration. After balting with the fire for some houra it was seen that the efforts to prevent the spread of the flames were becoming success. ful, and in time the fire was restricted to the re buildings Thred of these had however bocom completely gutted, while the other two were badly damaged by fire and water, so much so that they will doubtless have to be pulled down. It was midnight are the flames were completely got under, and, "the ruins have been smouldering for the whole of to-day;
"At first some little excitement was oc- casioned by fears that some of the peopls residing in the upper storbye, might not have ascapod, but so far as the polico have been able to ascertain there is no bye missing, though most of the people residing in these inte had to wake a hurried axis with what few things they could scrape together at a moment's notice. The blaze sras seen from many parts of the island,"
while viewed from the Kowloon side the sight was most improve. It is difcal to estimate the damage but it bag, boon, roughly calculated stabout $30,000. Mout of the loss is, we undere and, covered by
insurance. There is some encertainty about the origin of the outbreak also, i though circumstances point to the likeli- hood of the fra having started by means of the upsetting of a kervéine oil lamp in one of the Connaught Road shops.
