FIRES AT DUNKIRK.
INCENDIARISM SUSPECTED. PORT UNDER POLICE GUARD. Reuter. PARIS. July 18. It is suspected that a recent series of fires at Dunkirk, the French port on the Straits of Dover, was due to incendiarism and connected with a strike of dockers. The strike was followed by a fire which destroyed a large warehouse at the port and caused damage estimated at 1.000,000 francs. Two men were seen escaping from the warehouse after the outbreak. Four hundred police are now guarding the port.
