FIRE u. VIRGINIA.
How IL Grew Out or PrickIy Heat
Its Ravagss-was she Property
Sold 60 an Insurance Company

Virginia had q FIRE at 1890 last night.
1t was q big ons for one Of its size-that
Is for one which did no moro damage.
At 10 O'Clock. Athanas Goystts. who
ID q miner and subject to prickly heat,
kindled q little fire in the stove OF his
kitchen. His house is-or was-iu the
center Of q little knot Of buildings and
between X and L streets, north Of
Carson, Virginia. Over the FIRE he
warmed some vinegar and other ingre-
dents, washed for his prickly heat and
went to work. Mr.. Coyotes family
were absent. The FIRE above mentioned
started in Mr.. Coyotes house. That Is
all that 10 known concerning 1t, but the
n~sighbors say the property was insured
and the tiremsn say that there was very
little furniture in the house. 1t looks
a. though an endeavor had been made
to sell the property to some insurance
company for . big price.
The fremsn OF Virginia had . long
run to get to the fire. and when there
were compelled to splice hose to reach
from the nearest ~hydrsnt-500 to 600
feet awsy-to the burning building.
When this was done the FIRE went out
very quickly. and the charred ramNns
Of Mr.. Goyetie's house show good work
by the department.
The burned building was surrounded
by q great many other wooden slruc-
lures, and by tho time water was on,
pitch was frying from them oil. West
Of the burning house lived James Gallo
way. A porch back Of his house reached
near to the Goyetts building. Flames
followed up this porch, singed the main
house. and sent a blaze Or two through
some cracks into q bedroom. A wood
house near caught aud was badly burned.
North Of Galloway lived La French.
His house was roasted till the fat dripped
out OF 1t. and his woodhouse. joint with
Gslloway's, suffered.
South OF Galloway lives Louis Lucier.
woodhouss and privy badly burned and
house singed. Cabin next to Coyotes
house, owned by Lucier and unoccu.
pied. nearly destroyed. Another house
Of Lucisr east OF the cabin was singsd.
The loss by this big fie is small. A
few hundred dollars will set all right

More OF the Spanish Trouble.

WASHINGTON. July 22.-Now that 1t Is
settled that It was q vessel Of the Spanish
navy which fred upon the Philadelphia
schooner Ethel A. Merritt and the Bos-
ton schooner Eunios P. Nswcomb of the
Cuban coast Q few weeks ago. the most
important question which Admiral Wy
man, Of the United States msn-of.war
Tennessee, has still to investigate 10 a.
TO how far II was from land that the out
RACES occurred. II tho American schoon-
ers were within one league or three miles
Of tho Cuban coast at the time. there
would be no doubt OF the right OF the
Spanish gunboat to overhaul them, on
suspicion, since. by international Law, .
government IL recognized as exercising
Jurisdiction from one league from Its
coast line. The American schoonsrs,
however, both claim to have been much
more than Q league from land when they
were fred upon. Spain, unlike oil other
nation, claims Jurisdiction for two
leagues, Or six miles, from shore, and
hold that the schooners were within this
limit when ovsrhauled. though Captain
Rand's statement would put the Merritt
beyond even this limit. However this
may be, 1t il virtually conceded that the
American vessels were beyondths one
league limit, and that 1t is a. far as our
government will recognize Spanish au.
thority to extend. Spain clings tsna-
ciously to the longer limit, and this 10
not the first time the two governments
have had differences over this point. In
tho Spanish Cortss, n Of the members
OF that body recently said: "Lst the
United States demand apology and re-
dress for any damage sustained by her
vessels. We will mako apology and pay
any damages. But We propose. In the
present condition Of affairs In Cuba, to
search oil foreign vessels on the coast
which are regarded as suspicious" Lit.
tic doubt is felt here that Spain will
make an apology, but our government
will mako o definite rule for the future
on the subject before dropping the sub
jeot,
