SPANISH CLAIMS COMMISSION.

Secretary Blaine has written letter to

in the matter Of the spanish.American
claims, for claims made by American citi.
zens, resident in Cuba, for property confs.
cited by the Spanish government during the
Cuban insurrection, protesting against the
position Of that government relative TO the
naturalization OF foreign born citizens.
Spain objected to paying Biezti's claim,
upon the ground that, although naturallsed
at Baltimore, there was flaw in his
papers and consequently he remained a
Spanish citizen.
Count Lewenraupt, Swedish AMBASSADOR,
arbitrator In the case, decided in favor Of
the Spanish Government, and Mt. Blaine
takes exception to the Judgement. He
maintains that the Spanish Government
has no right to 60 behind the
naturalization papers, which are prina
tacis evidence Of mans citizenship and
cannot be questioned, The result Of this
letter will be the breaking up Of the Span.

sary to distinctly construe and define the
clause Of the Constitution relating to the
death, resignation or inability of the Presi'
dent and succession OF the Vice President,
next Tuesday, He will make speech IN
favor Of tho resolution, and 1t Is probable
that qultea protracted discussion will fol-

Senators who have seen the President

The Vulcan Iron Works Destroyed by
Fire.

This morning about | O'Clock flames were
discovered Issuing from the Vulcan Iron-
Works. corner Of Sixth and Byrd streets,
OF which MessTs. Bruce & Archer are the
proprieiOrs. The police and others who
usually iurr in alarms OF fire were misled by
the bright light from the Tredegar furnaces
consequently some delay was caused In Civ
ing the alarm. The Tepth-street Hose Com
pauy were promptly on the ground after
the alarm was sounded, and Immediately
put on several plug.streams, which did
good execution not only in keeping down
the fire within the works, but materially
aided i'm preventing the destruction OF The
trestle-wOrk Of the Connection railroad,
which crosses the canal al that point. and j.
composed Of yery heavy heart-pine tim
Der. The first alarm brought out that
portion OF the Department m whose dis
lrict this fire occurred, and shortly az
terwards a second alarm was turned
in. which called out the entire force. With
in the enclosure containing the works the
fire burned with fierce aud consuming
heat, and The glare lighted up most Of the
city. On the north side Of the canal there
were stationed four engines. the hose being
carried over 10 the opposite side by means
OF pleasuTe-boa'. The other engine was
stationed at the corner OF Eighth and Byrd.
The Intense heat and the proximity
Of the railroad trestle-woTk caused the
latter to become ignned many times.
In less than an hour from the time that the
fire wss discovered all Of the buildings were
entirely destroyed. and the costly machine
~, mostly used in the fabrication OF bolts
and nu's. was reduced in value 10 the cot
OF old Junk. Most Of The buildings COM
pr.ng the foundry and machine-sbops
were 30 intermingled with wood that their
destruction was easy. After ;he chief ma
terial bad been exhausted 10y the flames tue
fremen had easy woTk in extinguishiDg
the smOuldering remnants Of The fire.
The loss in buildings, material, and ma
chnery is computed TO be 1t least $4,000.
Il was impossible this morning 10 sscer-
tain what amount Of Insurance was carried
on the property.
The origin Of the fire Is not positively
known. but is said TO have been caused 10y
the ignition Of shavings near the engine.
The fremen were untirbg in their efforts,
and did good service after arriving on ;he
ground.
The works had great repuie in their spe-
cialty. and gave employment TO about %
hands.
