OFFICIAL STATEMENT ISSUED.
The following official statement by
the Jacksonville Relief Association wa
issued at 10:30 o’clock Monday night:
“To the People of the United State*
—The relief committee having receiv
ed many inquiries concerning the situ
tion here desires to make the follow
ing general statement:
“Thecityof Jacksonville on Friday,
May 3d, was visited by one of the most
appalling calamities that has ever hap
pened in any community in modern
times. About noon of that day a fire
was discovered in a small palmetto
fiber factory in the extreme western
portion of the city. A high wind was
then Mowing to the eastward, carrying
the flames over the heads of the fire
men. The flames spread with siu-b
rapidity that our citizens had great
difficulty iu leaving their homes -n.{
places of business. In many cases
they barely escaped with their lives,
and we regret to say that a number
were burned to death or drowned in
their effort to escape from the flames.
The number we have been nim
ble to ascertain, although five bodies
have beed taken from the ruins and
from 10,000 to 15,000 people are home
less.
“The burnt area extends east and
west about two miles aud north and
south varying from one-half to three
quarters of a mile. In tbis area was
situated the oldest and most populous
portion of the city, embracing all
classes of people, high and low, rich
and poor. The flames carried before
them homes, churches aud all the pub
lic buildings save oDe. More than
half of the business section was also
consumed. The property loss aggre
gates from 812,006,000 to 815,000,060.
“All contributions of money should
be sent to A. M. Ives, treasurer, and
all supplies should be sent to Jack
sonville Relief Association.”
