Belle Plaine and Brooklyn Lose Upward
OF Half . Mutton.
A fire which started in q Belle
Plaine, Iowa, blacksmith shop,
on Saturday afternoon resulted In
the nearly total destruction of the

buildings remaining. The loss is esti-
mated at $4,000, with perhaps insur-
ance amounting to 5000 The
flames, owing to the buildings being

From Krohl's livery stable the flames
leaped across the street into another
livery stable and the engine-house
and spread up the main street west to
the Henry Hotel; then. across the street
into q billiard hall. and continuing
east engulfed the entire business part
Of the city, leaving ruin and ashes in
its wake.
1t was q terribly fierce fire, and with

The property loss cannot at this time
be accurately estimated, but it will
reach at least 81, 25O ,OOO.
The immense plant of the John r.
Davis Lumber Company is a total loss.
amounting to between $5O0,ON and
$6O0,0.O. On this property there is an
insurance equal to at least four.hfths
the value Of the plant. OF the rest of
the city about half the property was
insured. Many OF the poorer people
carried no insurance on their homes,
and they have lost everything. There
were many fine business blocks and
private residences in the city, and
every n was burned to the ground.
Many Of the residences cost upward of
$4,000, and were handsome even for q
Northern Wisconsin city.
Not since the cyclone of fire that
wiped out the existence Of the village
Of Peshtigo, when many people were
burned to death, has there been q hol-
ocaust of the character of this one.
Four gales of fire following each
other, as soon as one had accomplished

'swaths through the city, leaving stand
ing only the Lutheran Church and
some dwellings rear the southern lin

Wooster Town Hall and q group Of

burned district.
A system Of water works, which
would ordinarily be ample protection
against the blazing forests, was rem

pumping station in the first fire.

The japanese have been victorious

The battle was fought Monday and
was desperately contested. both ma

did not understand the handling OF
their ships as we'll as the ia, aneee,
and that put them at q serious disad.
The full details of the fight are not

Yuen was sunk and two other large
Chinese vessels, believed to be first
class cruisers, were either captured or
destroyed. The loss of life was great
also. The Chinese fleet carried near v
1000 men, and few, If any, escaped.
Two German officers, who were in com.
mand OF the Chen-Yuen, are reported
TO be among the lost also.
Throughout the engagement the
Japanese showed greater skill and
ability in the handling Of their boats,
and consequently had things much
their own way. Their work with the
gums was elective. and they also
showed that they thoroughly UNDER
stood the handling of t%orpedces. The
Chinese did the best they could, but
they were lacking in seamanship and
also in ability to handle their guns eff
fectively. They demonstrated the
truth Of the claim that they have
nothing like the ability and training
of the Japanese seamen and gunners,
and are at big disadvantage on the
