The Western Union General Offices I'm
New York Quilted by Fire.
The building of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. which has been for many
years one of the great and imposing land
marks OF lower Broadway. New York. was
discovered to be on fire the other morning
as the operators were about to begin the
work of the day. About fifty men and
young women had reached the operating
room when messenger boy saw puff of
smoke under table in the checking de-
partment on the floor below the operating
room. He rushed up stairs to notify the
new arrivals that the building was on fire.
They were compelled to go through the
checkingI department to go down. stairs
and a panic resulted. The building
runs up eight lofty stories. which are
surmounted by a cupola. Running up
from the cupola is a staff on which hangs
the time ball. which drops at the hour of
noon. and tells the standard time. The
building is fitted with offices on the five
lower floors. which are occupied by some
of the greatest railroad magnates in the
world. The flames ate through from floor
to floor in short order. The loss of the
telegraph company is very large and can
not fall short of $1.000.OJO while it will re-
quire long time to replace the material
The large switch board in the operating
room alone cost $4,000. and Gen. Eckert
estimates that the loss to the Western
Union will exceed 100000.

1t Will Be War to the Knife in Central
America.
City of Mexico special: The news
received in this city to-day by private
cipher cable dispatches fully confirms
the account of the battle between the
Guatemalan and San Salvadoran forces
yesterday. The Guatemalan forces, I'M
der the command of Gen. FuenteS, were
encamped a little TO the southwark and
eastward of Bhalohuapa. close upon the
San Salvador frontier. The Guatema-
lans, not expecting to receive much, if
any, resistance on the part of the Sal
Vadorans, were taken completely by
surprise and retreated precipitately be-
yond the borders to their own territory.
No estimate of the loss of life on
either side can be formed, but from all
accounts only thirty or forty were killed
or wounded. The San Salvador troops
did not follow up their advantage, as
they had received instructions only to
preserve the integrity of their own ter
ritory.
It is said that in view of this defeat
1900 Guatemalan troops are advancing
as reinforcements under the command
of Gen. CamiIo Alvarez. the aspirant for
Presidential honors in San Salvador
under the protection of Guatemala.
With Gen. Alvarez at their head as
commander-in-chief Of the Guatemalan
forces there no longer remains doubt
that Guatemala intends invading her
neighboring territory.
