LA CROSSE, Wis. May II. - Capt.
Peyton S. Davidson's big sawmill was
completely wiped out by fire this morn
ing between and o'clock, causing
loss of $4,000. without a dollar of in
surance, making no account of the loss
of the seasons saving. 1t was one of
the largest plants here, having a ca
pacity of 225,0O0 feet per day and fitted
with two gangs, two rOtaries, new
band mill just set up and to have start
ed tomorrow morning, besides all other
machinery. ALI the lumber is RATED,
consequently there was very little
about the mill to be destroyed.
The morning was calm, and as
the building was sheeted and rooted
with iron other property was in no seri-
Gus danger from flying Goals. The hre
is believed to be incendiary, as twice
recently and once some weeks age at
tempts have been made to Durn it by
the use of Kerosene and shavings. One
Friday night the Watchmen say they
frustrated such an effort and saw men
run out of the yard. There were three
watchmen on the premises last night,
and it is difficult to see how the fire
could have been started, either by acci-
dent or design, in the least inflammabe
part of the mill. 1T is likely Davidson
will rebuild, but he cannot get ready
for this seasons saving.

A FIGHT PROBABLE.
A Little AIl-Round Saucy Talk at
Acapulco.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17.-The Chron-
icle has received a dispatch from Aca-
pulco, from naval officer on board the
Charleston. The dispatch is dated Sat
urday, and says in part: 1.-The Charleston
arrived here early this morning, passing
close to the Esmeralda as she entered
the harbor, the Charleston anchorIDg
and clearing the ship for action, to be
ready for emergencies. Later in the
day a formal interview took place be-
and the captain Of the Esmer-
aida, the latter stating that
the Charleston should never take
the Itata until the Esmeralda was sunk.
Capt. Remy replied: Il have orders to
take the Itata. The fact that the Es-
meralda is present will make no differ
ence whatever" In Acapulco fight is
expected if the Itata appears.
CITY OF MEXICO, May II, via Calves
ton.-The American war ship Charles
ton and the Chilian man-of-war Esmer-
aida are lying at anchor near the en-
trance to the harbor of Acapulco. The
Chilian captain says that his vessel has
not called at any American port. Con-
sequently. he says, it is not probable
that the United States authorities will
himself OF his vessel. An officer Of the
Esmeralda, in reply to a question put to
him in the telegraph Office at Acapulco,
as to the probability of an old-fashioned
sea fight between the Charleston and
Esmeralda, said in q jocular and rather
ambiguous way: ''Oh, the Itata is al
ready out of danger. She has plenty of
coal and provisions to carry her to her
destination" This remark has given
rise to the report that the Itata coaled
at sea and proceeded to her destination,
while the Chilian war ship steamed for
Acapulco to throw the United States
authorities off the track. FL Universal,
the only government organ that has so
far made auy mention of the arrival of
the Esmeralda at Acapulco, says that in
addition to the Esmeralda other Chilian
warships are expected at Mexican ports.
A telegram from Guatemala states that
a schooner captain just arrived, reports
having seen two strengthening vessels
under full sail proceeding in Southerly
direction.

that the manager of the Componia
Colombia de Transportes, which con-
trolS the navigation of the Magda-

most liberal concessions in the interest
OF the Latin-American department of

ton OF exhibits and commissioners, and
also that they will sell at half rates ex-
curslon tickets to Chicago during the
period of the exposition.
The Latin-American department of

who IS now at Guayaquill, announcing
that he had received unofficial assur-
ances that the government of Ecuador

tlclpate Ill the exposition and erect
a building of its own at Chicago. Mr..
IlSeH left Guyaquil yesterday for
Quito, the capital of Ecuador. E. A.

is III charge of the exhibit made by
the Island of st. Vincent at the
Jamaica exposition, will bring to
Chicago group of Carib Indians, who
are the descendants of the natives dis
covered by Columbus. These Indians
Will live on the exposition grounds at
Chicago as they live at home, and pur-
sue their industries, of which the chief
is discriminating. They make a basket
which is double, and will hold water.

was short of coal when the Newbern
passed her on the 1st inst, off Cape
San Lucas. The officers of the Es-
meralda visited the Newbern at San
Jose Del Cabo next day. and said
their destination was some port in the
United States where the they could get
coal. They also inquired as to the guam
tity of coal the Newbern was carrying,
and seemed disappointed when in
formed that the steamer had only a
small quantity Walton says he has no
doubt it was the purpose of the Esmer-
aida to hold the Newbern up at sea and
take her fuel from her. but she gave up
the idea when she found that the
amount carried by the passenger steamer
was so small. The purser corroborated
Capt. Won Helms about seeing another
war ship much larger than the ESmer-
aida ON the night of the lSt. He thinks
this also must have been an insurgent
ship, for the officers of the Esmeralda
knew of her whereabouts and did not
appear TO be alarmed, as would have
been the case if the ship had been Bal
maceda's Imperiali. The officers of the
Esmeralda refused to tell the name of
the other ship when questioned.

prise of the future. The commissioners
and directors are now in a position to
talk definitely upon the task of begin
ming work, and they expect to begin
constructing the bridge approaches by
September. The necessary capital,
$1,000 COO, has been subscribed by
syndicate of capitalists of this city and
New Jersey, and the New Jersey COM
mission will meet next week to effect
permanent organization. When this
has been done the company will be in
c0rpOrated under the laws of both New
York and New Jersey. The work OF con-
struction will then Immediately be be-
gun. Charles Swan, secretary of the New
York commission, whose office is at M
PA Broadway, said yesterday, speaking
of the bridge in connection with the
proposed rapid transit route, that the
system when finished would be the
most complete in the world. Besides
the increased facilities for travel, ne
said the new bridge and approaches
would open avenues of local commerce
which would completely abolish the
overcrowded condition of both the
North and East rivers.
1.-The bridge and approaches" said
he, will be the means of establishing
freight and coal docks at Port Morris,
the western end of Long Island sound.
where vessels can be loaded without
having to pass through He'll Gate and
around the city of New York TO Perth

the railroad cars transported on floats
by the rivers can be run over the

THE SWITCHMEN WHIPPED,
But Are Sore at the Supreme Coun-
Gil of United Orders.

CHICAGO, May 17.-By refusing to
call out the trainmen on the Northwest
ern road the supreme council OF the
united orders appears to have possibly
opened the way to the ultimate disrup-
ton of the federation. The councils
action was severely condemned at a
meeting of the switchmen's leaders
held to day. 1t was at session of the
grand lodge of switchmen, and the
members discussed the proceedings of
the council at length. At one time the
lodge determined to withdraw from the
federation, but eventually decided to
let matters rest as they are at
present, trusting to time and Oppor-
tunity to bring about an improved con-
dition of things. Grand Master Sweeney.
of the switchmen's association, said the
switchmen had been victims of diabol-
ical conspiracy. The trainmen and
firemen. by the connivance of their Of
ficials," said he, ''conspired with the
Northwestern railroad to drive out the
switchmen, and they did so temporarily.
We shall bide our time, however. and
will pay them back with interest before
we get through with them.' The Chi
cago Switchmen's union were busy de-
batting tonight whether or not to apply
tomorrow to be taken back.
1t was finally decided that all should
apply for work tomorrow. About so
per cent of the men will probably be
reinstated.

STRUCK THE czAREwIrCH
For Entering Japanese Shrines
With His Boots on.

PARIS, May 1.-THE French embassy
at Toxic has teiegraphed the official de-
tails of the attack upon the czarewitch.
From these it appears that the care
witch's assailant was a policeman
named Thunda, who had been eight
years in the service. The czarewitch
and his suite were leaving Otsu in
jinrikshas, having just visited a Bud
dhist temple. Both the czarewitch and
Prince George went to the shrines with
their boots on, and the chief bonze,
on their retiring, complained 10
the Japanese guards about this
Otfense against the national re-
ligion. The princes were entering
the iinrikshas when Thunda, who was
standing guard, dealt the cZarewitch a
blow with his sword. Prince Georges
return blow with his stick threw
Thunda several feet. The policeman
rose and made another rush at the czaTe-
witch. A Japanese closed the front
OF the carriage and another Japanese
wrested tile sword from Thunda and
cut him down, infilcting severe wound.
The chief bonZe. with several guards,
arrested the man. The cZarewitch's in
jury has already healed.
