The Well u French Car and Bridge
COmpany's Property Ablaze.
CHICAGO, July 81. 12:3O A. M.-Late last
night three successive alarms turned In
from the southwestern part of the city,
heraided a fire, which, according TO the
latest estimates. has destroyed upwards of
$500, 900 worth of property. 1t was nearly
IL O'Clock when the buildings of the Well
a. French Car and Bridge Company were
discovered 70 be on fire. Engines were
quickly on the SPOT but the efforts OF the
tiremen were almost without avail. The
works of the company comprise several
buildings situated at Twenty-secOnd and
Paulina streets. At the hour of mid
night all Of these, together with their
contents, were a total loss. In one
building WIS stored wood and other ma
terial for 1900 cars. This was one of the
first destroyed. The fire is believed to
have bad its origin IN spontaneous com
busti0n, as its source has been traced TO a
cupboard where the refuse from the paint
shops was kept. At this hour the loss, as
above stated, is thought not to be over-es-
timated. 1t has been impossible to ascer-
tain the amount Of insurance carried.

Men Lost by Zach Side in a Recent
Battle.
WASHINGTON, July 20.-Under date Of
July l Admiral Jouett has sent to the
Navy Department from Savanilla report
OF the condition OF affairs in the United
States of Colombia. He makes mention
OF recent battle between the government
iorces and revolutionists in which 1000
men were said to have been killed. The
Admiral says
"Ihe government troops, numbering
about 4,OO0, have advanced from Certa-
gena to CalOmar, on the banks of the
Magdalena river, where they are strongly
entrenched. Calomar is 66 miles above
Barranquilla.
AID ON THE SEA.
"In addition to this land force the gov
ernment has now an efficient steamer,
called the Cauca, which is armed as
vessel Of war, and is ready to patrol the
coast or 10 perform any naval service
which may be required of her The revo-
luti0nary forces number only about 1900
men, but the revolutiOnists hold number
Of large river steamers, and are, there
fore, able 10 move about freely on the
Magdalena river, while the government
forces, having but two small steamers,
are obliged 20 move by land, and are,
therefore, much impeded. On June 10
Gen. CamargO, a prominent Colombian
politician and leader, arrived at this port
in an English steamer, and upon landing
Immediately assumed command OF the
revolutionary army.
OPENED THE WAR AFREsu.
"The arrival or Gen. Oamargo, who is a
violent Liberal, etiectually defeated the
efforts to secure peace by treaty, although
there is no doubt but that these efforts
would have been successful if he had re-
mained away short while longer. Gen.
CamargO attacked force Of about 1 800
men with his whole army, and although
he CLAIMS to have won the battle, admits
that he suffered severe loss, which in-
cludes seven of his best Generals. 1t Is
reported that each side lost about 500
men. The revOlutiOuists clearly intend
to cOntine their operations to the NADIA
lena river and interior.
NO DANGER ON THE IsTHMUs,
"This, together with the fact that the
government has now steam vessel of
war on the Atlantic coast, insuTes the
lstnmuB ana vessels on the nigh seas
against any chance Of disturbance by the
revolutiOnists. All the reports from the
Isthmus Of Panama indicate that pOlitl-
cal matters remain settled and that peace
and good order prevail tnere. There IS,
however, an alarming epidemic Of yellow
fever prevailing at Aspinwall and all over
the isthmus."
Admiral JOuett says that the crews of
all the vessels OF the squadron that have
remained are much debilitated by their
long stay in the tropics and unavoidable
confinement OH board ship, and the de-
priVatiOn of recreation.
