Fire IN the Playa Of Ponce, r. X.


On the morning of the Sd February, about 10
o'clock, fire broke out on the bay Of Ponce, in
house occupied by Mr.. Felix Puvill The house
being old and lofty, the flames soon caught large
store occupied by Messrs. Roca, Lacot & Co, and,
raging with violence, soon extended to the adjoin-
ing dwellings and stores. All was confusion and
in few hours the principal stores, dwellings and
cooperages were heap Of ruins The wind being
strong, and varying during the fire, blew 1t III all
directions. Many buildings took fire from the
sparks, and the want of a good fire engine was Sc
verely felt at the time. So severe was the fre,
and so quick did il rage, that OF six lighters that
were hauled up on the beach, five were destroyed.
II i'll take some time before our little community
will again be settled, as those who were the prlnc
pal sufferers the persons who did all the ship
ping business, who are now obliged to live where
they can, andput up with any place for store. The
opinion is, that brick buildings will now be erect
ed. The loss can be safely estimated at one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars.
