A Rumor From Another Correspondent.

Rumor From Another Correspondent.
Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, April 12.-Although no reliable
information can be had tonight from the
West, rumor is in circulation on the streets
to the effect that the Nineteth battalion had
a skirmish with Riers party within thirty
miles of Humboldt, and that eighty men had
been killed. However, dispatches just re-
ceiTed do not confirm the statement. Too
much cannot DC said in commendation Of
John NJ. Egan, superintendent of the Cana
dian Pacific, in his efficient management of
the road in the transportation of troops and
supplies to the west. More troops go west
tomorrow, and, although this is Sunday,
nothing can be seen on the streets but SOL
diers, cannons and other implements of war.

Gen. Komaroff Explains.

ST.. PETERSBURG, April 12.-The official
messenge. published the following telegram
from Gen. Komaroff, dated April /:
On the 25th of March our detachment ap-
preached Dushkahri. When near the bridge
we saw an entrenchment occupied by Af-
ghans. In order to avoid q conflict sta
toned my troops five verts, a little over three
miles from the Afghan position. Negotiations
with Capt. Yate,a member of Sir Peter Lums-
denis force, commenced on the Goth.
when the Afghans became convinced we had
no intention of attacking them they daily
drew nearer to our camp. On the 9th they
despatched against company of ours cover
ing reconnoitering party of three compan-
les with gun and some cavalry. Next day,
their audacity and arrogance increasing,
they occupied high and commanding posi-
ton on the left of our camp, made intrench-
ments and placed a cavalry post in the rear
OF our line and a picket within gunshot of
our fort On the 29th, sent the Afghan
commander
AN ENERGETIC SUMMONS TO EvACUATE
the left bank of the Kushk and the right
bank of the Murgheb as far as the mouth of
the Kushk. He replied that, acting OF
the advice of the English he would not retire
beyond the Kushk. l then sent him pri-
vate letter, couched in amicable terms, on
the 30th. In order to support my demand I
marched with my detachment against the
Afghan position, still expecting pacific is
sue, but fire from the Afghan artillery and
attack OF their cavalry compelled me to ac-
cept combat.
THE PRESS ON THE SITUATION.
The st. Petersburg Journal says the fore
going statement leaves no questian of Rus
sian aggression; that, moreover, Sir Peter
Lumsden's second dispatch to the British
government justified Gen .Komaroff's action,
and even Mr.. Gladstone has shown a praise
worthy anxiety to atone for the ungracious
words about Russia which first escaped him.

A BIG HOTEL SCORCHED.
Cleveland's Principal Hotel Damaged to tha
Extent Of $4,000.
a Thieving Postal Clerk Jugged-No Cnol
era in Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, April 12.-At 7:3O o'clock
this morningIfre was discovered in room on
the seventh floor of the Stillman hotel and
apartment house on Euclid avenue, near
Munson street, and in a very short time the
entire upper story of the building was in
flames. The chambermaid who made the
discovery ran screaming down the corridors
towards the office, and the guests-a few of
whom had just arisen-ran from their rooms
in
THE UTMOST CONFUSION.
Ihe clerk hearing the noise, hastened
up stairs, when he learned the cause of it.
He quietly informed the frightened people
that there was no danger, the building being
regarded as absolutely fire proof. His reas-
suring tone allayed the fears of guests and
they returned to their rooms. Meanwhile,
however, the flames, which originated in a
room where scrubbing utensils are kept,were
spreading rapidly and the colored servants,
whose quarters were on the upper floor, barely
had time
TO ESCAPE WITH THEIR LIVES,
many losing all their clothing. Eight steam
ers were called and it was not until after five,
hours hard work the fire was gotten under
control. The roof was entirely DESTROYED,
the heavy timbers falling on the seventh floor
and crashing through it in many places. In
this way the fire worked down to the sixth
floor and thence to the fifth by means of ash
sluices, but it was not allowed to spread. A
heavy beam fell in front of the door to Harry
Stevens room on the sixth floor and shut
him in. He was
RESCUED FROM A WINDOW
on an extension ladder. Beyond few cuts
from breaking window glass nobody was
hurt. The Stellman is the finest building in
Cleveland. 1t was erected one year ago at q
cost of about $500,00O 1t is owned by COLI;
W. Il. Harris and Dan Peels. With the ex-
ception of the roof it was fire-proof. The loss
on the building is about $50, 900, on which
there is no insurance. The guests and
families lose about SIS, 900 by water The
loss of servants will aggregate $4,000. 1t is
supposed that the fire was caused by q cur
tain blowing into gas Jet.

A State Governed By women.

Among the colonial possessions, or
moro correctly. dependencies, Of Hol-
land, there IS remarkable little state
which, in its construction and original
costume Of its inhabitants, surpasses the
boldest dreams Of the advocates of
women's rights. In the island Of Java.
between the cities of Batavia and Sauna.
rang, is the kingdom of Bantam. which.
although tributary to Holland. is an in
dependent state The king is entirely
dependent upon his state council. The
highest authorities, military commanders
and soldiers are, without exception, of
the female sex. These amazons ride in
the masculine style, wearing sharp steel
points instead Of spurs. They carry q
pointed lance. which they swing very
gracefully. and also musket. which is
discharged at full gallop. The capital
of this little state lies in the most pic
turesque part of the island, in fruitful
plain, and Is defended BY two welI-kept
fOrtrcsses.

Colonel John Hay is building man
sion on the corner of Sixteenth and Fl
streets, Washington. The house, when
completed. will be notable one. as af-
fording a fine illustration of what can be
done with brick in the way of Ornamental
ton. The architect has drawn designs
for most of the brick which will be used,
and these have been made from the de.
signs. The bricks in the walls will be
fourteen inches long, instead Of the ordi-
nary length, nine inches. The arches
aud ornamentation over the windows and
doors will be composed of bricks made
according to special designs. The pillars
which are introduced will be composed
of rounded brick. Large bricks, octago-
nal in shape, fan-shaped and of variety
of designs, will be set in the walls, Civ
ing a richness and variety which will be
very effective. The side of the house on
Sixteenth street will be made especially
rich in ornamental work, yet at the same
time the effect will be substantial and
solid. While some stone work will DO
used in the foundations, yet the real es-
fectiveness in these particulars will be
secured by the brick work, and will
demonstrate the fitness of the use of
brick even. in buildings where solidity
instead of ightness is the design sought

adults. There Is no sign of suspension
in this rate of increase, while there are
signs that it is much too rapid for the
country to support. The vast, fat, san
dy, wind-swept plain which makes up so
much of northern Germany is not fertile;
the artisans. though most industrious,
find it difficult to dispose of their labor,
and in 1882, the Prussian officials dis
covered that the number of heads of
