New York, April 21.-At the Stanley
court martial to-day, Gen. Whitaker,
who commanded regiment in Hazen's
brigade, testified that his regiment was
never broken by fire. The battle of Shi-
loh was over about o'clock, on Mon
day p. m. The witness did not see
Hazen there. Gen. Hazen asked the
witness where Hazen was and the wit
ness replied he though he was killed,
and Nelson then said he would give
fifty dollars to any person who found
Hazen's body. On Tuesday the witness
saw Hazen who said he had been down
at the river all day.
Benson ]. LOSING, the historian, tes-
titled that he had letter Hazen had
written to him containing history of
the battle Of Missionary ridge. He had
carried the hill, where as Gen. Sheridan
who was on his right, and who had al
ways been given credit of carrying it,
was only half way up at the time. This

THE GREAT FIRE.

Further Details Of the Eureka Calamity.
San Francisco, April 22.-The fire at
Eureka, Nevada, broke out in the rear
portion Of the opera house, a large
frame building on Bateman street, run
ming through from Buel to Spring
streets. A heavy gale was blowing,
and it was at once evident disastrous
confagration must ensue. The fire
spread with the greatest rapidity, and
made clean track down Spring, Buel
and Main streets for nearly half mile,
spending its force finally at the foundry
and adobe boarding house. close to the
Eureka Consolidated mining works.
Not building is left standing in all
this area, save Paxton & Co. IS bank and
the Sentinel's stone job office. The fire
crossed Buell. street, and in a moment
the Eldorado building caught, this
doomed the east side Of Main street.
The iremen made gallant fight all the
way up the thoroughfare, drenching
the buildings with flood Of water, and
contesting every inch, step by step un-
til Robbins street was reached, and the
danger was over in that quarter.
The total loss is now estimated at
rather under one million dollars, on
which there is not over 1925, 900 insur-
ance, distributed in small risks among
a large number of companies.
Heavy weather succeeded the fire,
accompanied by fall of snow, which
caused much suffering among the home
less people, but the want of shelter was
temporarily supplied by tents, the ma
terial for which was promptly forward
ed by the San Francisco relief commit
tee. There is no lack of food and pro-
visions, as the stores mostly escaped
the flames.
Relief movements were inaugurated
at once in San Francisco, Sacramento,
Virginia City and other towns.
Money to the amount of 800 has
been already forwarded, and also a
large supply of blankets, mattresses,
etc.
A number of entertainments are an
nounced for the benefit of the relief
fund.
