WHISKY DISTILLERY ABLAZE.
PANIC-STRICKEN WORKERS. LISBON, June 12. A burning lamp set a huge vat on fire in a whisky distillery on the outskirts of Lii-bon. The flames spread to other vats, and the whole building was soon like a ronring furnace. The employees were panic-stricken, and many of them fled into the streets with their clothing ablaze. Others jumped out of windows in a naked condition. Firemen and soldiers are searching the ruins for possible victims.
