THE STAMBOUL FIRE.
ENORMOUS DAMAGE. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Constantinople, August 1. The damage by the fire is estimated at £5,000,000, and 100,000 persons are without shelter. It takes two hours to drive around the devastated areas. Thousands are living in orchards and vineyards. Many perished who took refuge in underground cisterns, where rainwater was collected.
