PROVOKING TROUBLE.

Chilli Seems Determined to Bring on War
With This Country, and She May Yet Be
Accommodated.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-Secretary
Tracy last night made public the fol
lowing dispatch he had received from
Commander Evans, Of the United States
ship Yorktown, now at Valparaiso,
Chill, in regard to the Balmacedist
refugees put aboard that vessel by
United States Minister Egan and the
Spanish minister
VALPARAISO, Chilli, Jan. 6.-Secretary of the
navy, Washington: The American minister in
forms me that the Gillian minister of foreign
affairs has changed his mind about refugees
now on the Yorktown and that they may be
taken out of any merchant vessel touching at
CHILEAN port by local authority. Arrangements
had been made for all of them to sail to-day,
but this change of base on the part of the Chill
ian minister of foreign affairs compels me to
keep them, which crowds me very much. Snail
land them at Callao, Peru, or Molendo, Peru:
No steamers from here go direct to neutral
territory.
This unexpected act of the Gillian minister of
foreign affairs is due, he states, in part to my
saluting the Spanish minister when he came on
board to deliver two refugees have requested
| the American minister to say to the minister OF
| foreign affairs that l am responsible to my own
government and not to that of Chill in such mat
| ters and that consider his criticism offensive
| and will not accept it. His action seems I'M
worthy of the representative of serious gov
| eminent EVANS.
The action of Senior Pereira, the
| Gillian minister of foreign affairs, in
deciding that the refugees might be
taken out of any merchant vessel touch
| ing at Gillian port by local authority
was great surprise to the officials IN
Washington. Secretary Tracy said that
he would send reply to Commander
| Evans this morning instructing him
what to do in the matter. There vas
no ground for offense for the CHILEAN
government in the action of Command
er Evans saluting the Spanish minis
| ter when the latter went on board to
deliver the two refugees who had been
under his care. The naval regulations
REQUIRE commanders of vessels to ex-
tend the courtesy to visiting digni-
tary.
The latest move of the Gillian gov
eminent as voiced by its minister Of
foreign affairs in the present case Is
very unsatisfactory to such OF those Of
| ficials in Washington as were willing
to express themselves with respect TO
the matter Secretary Tracy evidently
regretted what had occurred and seemed
to think it an affront to the nation.
A Norfolk (Va.) dispatch saTs that
over 900 men are now employed in
the navy yard there and good progress
is being made with the work on the

The Most Destructive Confagafion That
Has Visited the City For Several Years.
KANSAS City, Mo-, Jan. 1S.-A de
structive fire occurred last night in the
Dearborn building, which is located at
the southeast corner of Elevent and
Main streets. The building is four
stories in height and has frontage of
100 feet The fire started in the room
occupied by the Benjamin Jewelry Co.,
in the second story of that part of the
building that is at No. 11O5 Main street.
1t rapidly spread to 1907, the last of the
four numbers occupied by the building.
The value of the property involved
was nearly 1925, 600. The aggregate
loss will, according to members of the
fire department, amount to almost
S1T0, 600. The insurance carried by the
owners of the building and the con-
tents is said to amount to SIPS, 400,
making the net loss about $4,000
None of the contents of the building,
except the valuables contained in the
safes of the occupants, escaped the raw
ages of the fire. All the floors of the
building were burned out, causing the
safes to fall into the basement.
The intense cold interfered with the
work of the 6remen. Several of the
hose burst, causing streams of spray to
rise in the air and fall upon the fire.
men. Soon they were a mass of ice.
The bursting of the hose reduced the
size of some of the streams that were
thrown from them, and thereby made
the efforts of the department to extin-
guish the blaze less effective. The
water thrown from the hose nozzles
froze as fast as it struck an object that
was outside the building. Soon the
telegraph wires and the poles upon
which they were strung in front of the
building were coated with ice
About two-thirds of the entire loss
was covered by insurance. The build
ing, which was owned by the Dearborn
estate and valued at $50, 1000, is covered
by $50. 900 insurance, while the loss of
rent is covered by $4,000 insurance.
The Irwin & Eaton Crockery Co. q
stock was valued at SAC, 900. Insurance
not given.
The insurance on the Browning King
Co. S stock of clothing amounts to $50,
| O00 The value of the stock is roughly
estimated at from SIS, 900 to $50, 600.
About one-half of the entire stock
owned by the firm had been removed
to the new Dearborn building on Wal
nut street, while their own store rooms
were being repaired. making its loss
just that much lighter.
The S. D. Mills Jewelry Co. has its
loss. which amounts to about $4,000,
fairly we'll covered by insurance.
The Boston dry goods store suffered
a loss of about $500 on account OF
water. 1t carried 500, 900 insurance.
Considerable loss was sustained on
personal effects of people who had Off
ces in the building. There is insurance
held on the property in some of the
principal offices, but the flames made
an absolute loss to the owners Of most
of the personal and private effects.
Irwin & Eaton have been peculiarly
unfortunate. Something less than three
years ago their store on Delaware
street burned, involving loss of about
