puted positions we're settled, it being conce.e eel

visited the vicinity Of Round Top. Conference
vas held with private parties owning large part
Of the battlefield with a view to purchasing and
adding IL TO the section now under the control Of

AS possible to their original condition.

\ ere broke out this morning about l. O'Clock
in the Oakum factory Of Robert Hanna, on
Thames street, and soon thereafter communicated
to the lumber yard of ]. W. Randolph. The
entire block has been consumed, with the ex-
ception of one or two small buildings, occupied
by German families and densey tenanted. Ow-
ing to the intense heat of the last few days,
the fire burned with great rapidity. Twelve
houses, many of them dwellings, were entirely
destroyed before the flames could be subdued,
and thirteen others more or less damaged. The
machine shops of Z. n. Frazier & Co, were des-
troyed together with six new engines. Ran
doph's lumber yard was totally destroyed. The
total loss and insurance cannot be definitely as
certained. This is the most destructive fire that
has occurred in Baltimore for ten years.

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. a.
A letter was received at the White House to-
day from Paris, written by a Frenchman, re-
questing the President to issue 4 charter author
izing him to establish gambling house in New
York city, to be regularly licensed and placed
under the surveillance If the police 20 contribute
a portion of its profits to the Government, and
to be managed in all respects like the gambling
houses of Baden Boden and Weisbaden. The
name of this enterprising member of gambling
fraternity is Boiineaux.
1t is known that the President wiz emain at
the White Mountains for several days md Will
probably not arrive here until next NJ nday.
1t is understood that the President desired to
get the Cabinet together this week, but on ac-
count of the members being so widely scattered,
postponed the matter.
number Of temporary women clerks Of the
Reuenue Bureau, have nab their term Of service
extended till January lst next, and several Of
them have received permanent appointments.
The U. S ship Sabine arrived at therbourg
August 9th from Spitheld and was expected to
sail in about ten days for Lisbon.
The demands on the treasury for fractional
currency at the present time are so great and
the amounts required so large that to supply
them would necessitate the issue Of currency at
the rate Of $500 900 a day for year to come.
CUBAN AFFAIRS.
Letters have been received from the Cuban
revolutionary army, via Key West, to friends in
this city, containing news up to the 18th. No
engagement is reported since the one near
Puetro Padre on the 9TH, an account of which
has been published; in the district commanded
by Gen. Jordan. All the available Spanish
force is being thrown in this district 10 reinforce
Yalmaseda, and an early engagement Of i'm
portance may beexpectel between the forces of
Jordan and Valmasela. Jordan asserts his
readiness and desire for the contest, and is con-
fident Of success. It is stated thar defeat Of
Valmaseda would virtually end the war. as it
would be impossible for Spain ever to send
troops enough to regain the position which they
would lose. Jordan is placing his men in POSI-
ton for the fight, which was almost daily ex-
pectei. In Gen. Quesala's command except
few skirmishes between small parties it is re-
ported there have been no engagements The
