STROYED,
/ (RBOTER'S TELEGRAM.) (Received July 19, 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, 18th July. A disastrous fire in Fez (one of the chief towns in Morocco) destroyed a large area in the centre of the commercial quarter, and gutted about' a thousand shops. It is significant that it started during the feast of Ramadan, when everybody takes a deep sleep. The fire was only stopped by dynamiting the surrounding buildings. Enormous stocks of silk, cotton, and other goods were destroyed. German incendiarism is suspected.
