wood-shod in the rear of the house c.
cupled by II. Francioni, No. 5N west
Broad street The other blaze was i'm the
house OF a negro man at the corner OF
Gilmore and Moore streets Here quite
a remarkable fact was developed. While
the firemen were going through the house

they entered room in which the fire
had been worst. In the corner was
bed. and the clothes looked as If they
had fallen OF. The fremen kicked them

we're surprised to find Il little child, who,
on examination, proved to be unhurt.
1t was evident that she had gone to

BRITAIN TO AMERICA.
Literary Men Plead Elogucntiy
Against War.

LONDON, December 24-An address
from British 10 American literary men
relative to the Anglo-American crisis
has been compiled by an author Of dis
tinction, whose name. however, is not
made public, and is being numerously
signed.
Among those who sign the address will
probably be John Ruskin. William Lecky,
Walter Besant Richard Blackmore, VIII
liam Black. Thomas Hardy. Rider Hag-
gard. John Morley, and others equal
~ prominent
After predatory remarks. the address
continues: There are two paths be-
fore us. One leads we know not width
er; but in the end. through war. with
all its accomplishments of carnage. I'M
speakable suffering. limitless destruc-
ton. and hideous desOlation, to its m
evitable sequel-hatred. bitterness. and
the disruption Of our race. 1t Is this
path that we ask you TO join US in an
effort TO make impossible"
The address expresses the pride felt
by the British in the United States, and
says:
Nothing In history has earned us more
glory than the conquest of a vast CONT
nent by the Anglo-Saxon race. When
things that you do better than ourselves,
It is also lifted up by the consciousness
that YOU are our kindred There is
no anti-American feeling among English
raen; IL is impossible that there can be
any anti-English feeling among Ameri-
cans"
The address then dwells on the strength
OF the ties Of literature. which, il says,
will continue to live after the fever OF
any political strife shall have passed
away. If war should occur. English lite
nature would be dishonored and dis
figured for a century 20 come by patri-
otto songs, histories OF victories and
defeats, records Of humiliation and
disgrace. and stories of burning wrong
and unavenged insult
"These would be branded deep in the
hearts Of our people. who would so
express themselves in poems and novels
as TO make IL impossible for any of us
who had lived through such a fratri-
cidal war 10 resume their former love
and friendship"
In conclusion, the address says: Poets
and creators, scholars and philosophers,
men and women Of imagination and vi
sion, Will call upon you In the exer-
else of your far-reaching influence, 10
save our literature from dishonor and
our raca from lasting injury"

"Cubnns Advance Slowly, But with

NEW YORK, December 2i.-The fol-
lowing letter, under date of Remedies.
Cuba, December sth, was received to-day
by Mr.. Palma, Minister Of the Cuban
republic to the United States. from Gene
raj Gomez, general-in-chief of the revo-
lutionary forces:
1T is now eight days since General
Maceo and myself had an encounter
with the enemy, strong in the three arms,
but with victory for the arms Of the re-
public. We advance slowly but with
strong and firm foot. The Spaniards
lack neutrality-suspicious.. money sym
PATTY, chiefs with courage, and faith.
IF the valor and determination OF the
Cubans are not wanting In this beauti
full land, If those virtues and revolution
airy qualities do not fail in the hearts Of
her children, her men in the campaign
now open for six months, l think every
thing will soon be decided. Let no cane
be ground under any circumstances Gas
il nv advice, and the opinion Of the
most loyal friends Crsl can count upon.
Let the fountains whence the enemy ex-
pect to draw all their resources be stop
ped and dried. We should not be deter
red by any foolish and superficial world.
I'VE Cubans do not seek, nor do we
wish. aught else than honor. country,
and liberty Everything will come as a
matter of course. What we need is 10
triumph over the enemy, and the most
effectual ,and decisive means. though
harsh. TO attain the end will be always
the best, the most worthy, and the most
applauded.
''What would be unfortunate and dis
honorable Is being defeated, and il would
be cruel and foolish to prolong FUR tri-
umph. This is not the best way OF loving
the country. | have always been of the
opinion that we should not be sanguinary,
but radically revolutionary.

bers of the government. / did not wish
