A BLAzE or sPLENDoR.
SIX Vessels Bus ned in the Harbor Of
Barcelona.

BARCELONA, March 28.-In the harbor
here yesterday sailor Of a lighter, which
was transporting petroleum from an Amer
lean vessel to the docks, dropped a lighted
match on one side Of barrel. The barrel
took fire and in a moment was in blaze.
The fire leaped from stem to stern. The
crew Of the lighter jumped for their lives
and swan ashore, or to their boats. The
lighter drifted around in the harbor, a
mass of fame, and the burning oil ran out
on the water. Six vessels at anchor near
the spot where the igher took fire tried to
get way, but the rapidlty with which the
bla@si3sg Oil was blown toward them gave
them no time. The. corvette Thyra caught
first at the Water,s edge and those of the
crew on board had togo away on the other
side in small boats or jumped and swan
until picked up. The corye5te's decks were
on fire within a few minutes, and the yes
sci was burned to the waters edge and
sank within an hour. The four steamers,
Casilla, Albino, Waller and Ri, caught
shortly after the Thyra was abandoned.
The Thyra's crew had q hard time to get
away. Attempts were made'to tow the burn
ing vessels away from the other shipping
and to bring streams of water to
bear on them, but the oil in the harbor
rendered these attempts so unsafe that no
volunteers could be kept atithe work. The
warship Lepanto was started from her
mooring, but before she could get under
way one Of the burning steamers swung up
beside her and her rigging caught fire. Be
fore this could be extinguished the burn
ing brands were blown on the decks by the
rising wind and the commander was un-
able to keep the few men not absent on
leave at work fighting the flames. They
lowered the boats with the aid Of a launch
which had come out to them and escaped
unhurt. The Lepanto sank this evening.
The launch Cassi1o also was burned and
sunk. Not a life was lost, although sever
al men were injured while trying to beat
back the flames from the Lepanto. The
widest panic prevailed among the ships in
the harbor during the fire and many who
were at a distance from the lighter when it
took fire saved themselves only by starting
seaward Immediately. The spectacle Of
the six burning ships was viewed by thous-
ands on the docks. The loss was enor-

PARIS, March 28.-There was terrible

against his life, which has been threatened
repeatedly by anarchists. The police say
that at least eight pounds of dynamite
must have been used. The effect Of the ex-
plosion was indescribable, houses for an

way to splinters, SO that the panic-stricken
inmates had to be helped from the upper
floors with ladders. The furniture through
out the house was thrown into heaps and
against the walls, so that not whole chaiI
or table remained. The windows, frames
and all, were blown out completely and
bricks were displaced and dropped into the
street. The plastering was stripped clean
from all the ceilings.
Seven persons were injured by the explo-
sion, four by being thrown from the chairs
ON which they were sitting and three by
the falling debris. M. Boulet, who Hyec

A FIRE ALARM.
A Blazing Flue at the Olympia Hotel
on Main Street.

Olympia has good fire department, as
was again demonstrated last evening. It
is little, but 0 my AtsS:3O O'Clock last
evening the mechanism Of the electric
alarm was put in motion 50 that num-
Der 43 was borne far and near upon the
evening breeze. Strange as it seems a
great many Of the firemen were at church
very proper. Within Is 5seconds after the
first tap of the bell, the hose wagon Of No.
was on its way to the fire, drawn by the
two magnificent whites driven by "a.
Wright. The blaze was soon discovered to
be from flue burning out at the OLYMPIA
hotel, on Main street, between Second and
Third streets The line of hose was laid
with exceeding celebrity from the hydrant
at the corner OF Main and Fourth Tie
IRE soon exhausted itself, SO it was not
necessary for Engineer Peterson to bring
out the steamer, or for No. / to lay their
bose But the quick action of the fire was
tayorably commented ON by those who
witnessed it. The city council is adding
to the equipment Of the department as the
exlgencles seem to demand, and the fire.
men themselves seem to take delight iii
becoming more proficient. Fires in Olym-
pia have been sat down upon, as it were,
SO suddenly by her fremen, that a feeling
OF confidence has been aroused, so that now
ilre alarm does not create that wild dis
order which was prevalent years ago.
Boys, you do well, and deserve thanks and
credit.
