HAVANA, June 9,-The steamer Cres-
cent City, from New York, arrived here
yesterday. On Tuesday, ut 7.30 p. NJ,
when the steamer was opposite Sombrero
Light, some 1ues in the forward boiler
burst, the Steam escaped into the fur
naces and threw the burning cinders
from three of fthem into the coal bunkers.
The coal instantly took fire, and the
bunkers were soon in a blaze, the flames
rising ten feet, and rushing up the VEN
tilators to the upper deck. The engi-
neers closed the ventilators before the
wood work above was ignitsd., The
alarm was given, and owing to the admi-
rable discipline maintained by Captain
Curtis, every man was ut the post desig-
mated for him beforehand for such
emergencies in laas than two minutes.
In three minutes, three streams of water
were pouring on the fire, and within ten
minutes the; flames were extinguished.
The chief engineer closed the door of the
engine room TO prevent drait OF air,
and looked himself in with his men,
while the captain directed the hosemen
the men, BY his orders, removed tho fur
niture from the saloons, SO as to leave
the fire nothing to feed upon should it
spread. Preparations were also made to
run the steamer ashore intcase of neces-
sity, but the fire did not extend beyond
the engine room. ThF passengers give
the highest praise TO sthe captain and
chief engineer fort their oolness, cbursRs
and presence of mind, and to the crew
for the prompts and order with which
