A CONSPIRACY
To Destroy Steamer of the Ward Liue

New York, November 3.-The remark
able succession of disasters to the steam
ers of the Ward line, or New York and
Cuba Mail Steamship Company, in the
last year or SO will not be mystery
much longer, according to the officers of
the company. They took the first st ep
towards clearing up the smatter yester-
day, bv causing the arrest of Wet or
De la Cora, packer, at 139 and ;141
Franklin street. He is accused of pack
ing number of dynamite cartridges in
barrels of tallow that were to be shipped
to Haavna by the steamer Yumuri. De
la Cora was arrested by United States
marshals and taken to thesoffice of Com
missioner Shields. There he was held
day. Emanuel Cadenos, q Cuban i'm
porter, with his place of business Eat s
William street, and who lives in one of
the finest residences on Berkely place,
Brooklyn, became his bondsman. Every
body concerned in thescase tried to make
it as mysterious as possible, and very
few details were given out. William H.
L. Hughes, who swore out the warrants
for Dete.la Cora's arrest, refused Ito give
any information beyond hint that he
thought the cartridges were placed on
the Yumuri Within tent totblow her up
or cause serious fire, as has been the
case with other steamers of the line.
There were nine barrels in the consign-
ment marked" H. B. nThe Commodore has
frequently declared that there was an
organized conspiracy against the COM
pany. The company has been the victim
of an astonishing -seriessof mysterious
fires, beginning with the burning of the
City of Alexandria just year ago yes
terday. The fire was preceded and
caused by heavy explosion in the
steamers cargo.

NOW THE HORSE is STOLEN
These Villages will Shut the Stable Door
by Having a Fire Department..
Especial to the PRESS.)

Island Pond, November 4.-The destruc-
tive fire at North Stratford, last Friday
may result in an improved and effective
fire service for the exposed lumber villages
within easy reach of this place. Island
Pond itself is provided only with hand
engines. and while the one sent TO North
Stratford proved very effective. it is
thought that something may be done in the
way of providing much better system.
Even here it is felt that there should be
steam fire engines of improved construc.
tion. such as the place is not able, it is felt
to provide.
This place as railroad center, is pro-
vided at all times with engines.and special
train could be sent out at few moments
notice. There are at least nifty men here
who would be competent to act as an eagi-
neer, in case steam fire enigne could be
obtained. and volunteer fire department
could be organized able to cope with any
fire that could possibly be started within
the limits of the proposed service by rail
road.
