NEw YORK. May 1.-THE three top floors
Of Francis II. Ieggett & Co.'s nine story

way, Franklin and Narick streets, were
Quilted by fire yesterday afternoon. Part
Of the cupola and of the wall on the West
Broadway side fell out and struck the
down track Of the Sixth avenue elevated
road, smashing the guard rails and ties
and rendering the track useless. But
trains ran right along, back and forth on
the up track
When the fire was out Chief Bonner ex-
amined the West Broadway wall and pro
nounced It dangerous, and ordered the
street closed and trains stopped Colonel
Hahn, the general manager of the road,
refused TO stop the trains. The police
We're then called on. They made a show
OF stopping traffic. Colonel Hahn called
at the Leonard street station, and then
the police decided that the wall was not
dangerous, and that Chief Bonner's orders
need not be enforced as far as the elevated
railroad was concerned. But they closed
the street below. The fire itself was one
that tried the grit of the firemen The
building was supposed TO be freproof.
The fire broke out on the top floor about
315 o'clock. The floor was used for the
storage Of spices, and the boxes were piled
in tiers from the floor to the ceiling. with
narrow passageways between the tiers. A
small part Of the floor was occupied by
machinery for the grinding of spices
Policemen Cavanagh and Clark saw smoke
coming from one of the windows in the
northwest corner When the firemen got
there they could find nothing but smoke
to fight. Both the top floor and the eighth
floor We're filed with smoke.
Chief Bonner finally located the fire in
the Narick and Franklin street corner Of
the building. Twenty engines and two
water towers attacked it. After desper
ate fight of several hours, during which
falling debris nearly killed several fire
men, the flames were extinguished. Work

ance OF the navy.
Had this beeR done, it is said, II would
have been an easy matter 10 have placed

Charleston, and the Itata's escape under
Charleston's guns while actually in the
custody Of officers Of the United States
would have been impossible.
Alleged Conditions Announced.
Having been left out in the original pro
ceedings, navy officers speak resentfully Of
the orders now alleged to have been sent
TO Captain Remey Of the Charleston, and
also TO Admiral Brown, of the San Fran
cisco, and Captain Schley, Of the Balti-
more, TO take the ltata, provided they can
do so without manifest injury to their
own ships or loss Of life
Nobody can be found authorized to give
an absolute denial to these statements.
Secretary Tracy is down the river and
Acting Secretary Ramsey Is inaccessible,
but naval officers generally join with the
public in ridiculing the notion that any
such instructions could have been issued.
There is no doubt that some kind of a
pursuit Of the Itata has been ordered, but
IL has certainly not been hampered by any
such absurd conditions as those alleged.
