BIG FIRE IN NEW YORK
CUBAN QUESTION IN SPAIN.
Speech which Caused a Sensation
THE DESTITUTION IN IRELAND.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NEW
YORK.
Caused by Spontaneous Combustion

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-A fire broke out in the
first floor Of No. 115 Maiden Lane, occupied by
G. n. Finch & Co., dealers In heavy oils and
chemicals, at quarter before twelve O'Clock
entire four floors and the basement. Owing to
the combustible nature Of its contents, the fire
quickly made its way throughout the building.
and extending into III adjoining, which Is occu-
pied by Lichtenstein Bros, dealers in leaf to-
baccO, that building also fell a prey to the
flames. The cause of the fire is mystery, but
it is supposed to have resulted from spontane-
large. in No. III was Mr.. j. 7. Wells whose
eccentricities as dealer In Panama hats have
gained him notoriety. 1t Is also said that he
had stored in the building sixty cases OF Panama
hats. worth $4,000, which were destroyed. C.
n. Finch & Co. lose $50 600 in stock. and are
insured in an agency for Sl2.5O0. Lichtenstein
Bros. lose about 10000, mainly by water dam
and London and Globe Company. The build
ings Nos. 1l5 and III Maiden Lane were dam
aged about s. GOO. In No. 206 Pearl street
tobacco and other property, owned by several
persons, was damaged $1,000. Packard &
James, of No. 1876 Maiden Lane, had spices
and indigo worth 10000 stored in the cellar of
No. III Maiden Lane 1t is believed that these
goods are totally destroyed. In the cellar of
No. 119 Maiden Lane was stock of tobacco, the
property OF Heilbraner, JosephS q Co. and
Guena HermandS. A loss of s., 600 by water dam
age may be expected here These estimates make
the total loss S91 600, which will certainly be re-
duced by salvage. When the outbreak oc-
CURED, clerk in the employ of Wheelock q
Co., No. rs Maiden Lane, removed fifteen bar
Maiden Lane and water street. a number of
barrels OF petroleum were removed from the
cellar OF Finch & Co., by the Fletcher street en-
trance, While the fire was burning overhead.
