CHICAGO, Dec. Capt. D. w. Wood,
the attorney, who is lifelong friend OF
Senator John Sherman, has returned
from Ohio, and is authority for the
statement that there is well defined
sentiment in various parts of the coun-
try in favor of the venerable states
man for president in 1896.
Capt Wood says: 81 can say that we
have this assurance, that Senator Sher-
man will not enter the scramble to con-
test for the nomination. The move Of
his friends to have his name presented
to the convention will be aignifed and
becoming. A colored man from the
far south could with propriety arise in
that convention and nominate him, for
one of our main contentious will be
that he is man Of the nation, and not
of any particular state. This thing is
sure-the next national convention will
be asked to consider his claims and we
can believe but they will be treated
with the utmost consideration"

CUBAN SUCCESS.

The Power Of Spain Said to be Broken and
She Will Have to Retire From Cuba.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA prominent
Cuban resident of this city, whose
opportunities for information regard
ing the condition of affairs in that
island are of the best, and when the
insurrection first broke out was quoted
as saying that. in his opinion, the move
ment would not be successful, has now
changed his mind Yesterday when it
was told him in conversation that not
only Spanish officials but American
travellers recently returned from Cuba
had expressed the view that the insur-
rection would be suppressed within a
short time. he exclaimed with an impa-
tient sneer:
"The power of Spain is broken and
she will have to retire from Cuba.
According to the official statements
of Gen. Campos there are 10000 insur-
gents in the field-negroes, mulattoes
aud lower class whites. The upper
classes of the Cubans, the property
owners, will, in self-defense and be-
cause of their inclination, make COM
mon cause with the insurgents. The
Cubans prefer even negro domination
to continuation of Spanish rule.
Spain can no longer maintain herself
in Cuba. The struggle may be pro-
longed for time, but, as was the case
in San Domingo after three years futile
contest, Spain must withdraw. The
insurgents are waiting to see what the
United States will do this winter. L
any assistance shall be given then
here their triumph will be speedy"

A FATAL FIRE.
Disastrous Confagration in the
City of Indianapolis.
Two Brave FIremen Crushed to Death and
Several Others ara Badly Hurt
Property Loss is About
@50O,0OO.

IKpIANAPoLIs, Dec. A fire in the
heart of the Wholesale district yester-
day, destroyed property valued at
s50O. 900. The northeast quarter fthe
block bounded by Meridian, Maryland,
Georgia and Illinois streets was COM
pletely laid in ruins Seven or eight
great business establishments were
burned out.
The fire began in the wholesale gro
Gerry store of Schulz & Co., Nos. 5S to os
South Meridian street. At $50 o'clock
the third floor of the building fell in,
and the heavy stock that was piled on
it was carried to the first floor. The
flames at once broke out, and from the
beginning the fire spread in all direc-
ltions. The employees all got out with
out serious injury, though some OF
them had narrow escapes. Before the
department arrived the entire block
was doomed Great clouds OF black
smoke were pouring out of every win
dow in the building and by the time
water was turned on the whole inte-
rior was ablaze. There was much in
flammable matter in the stock carried
by the company and the fire burned
fiercely. There was an insufficient
supply of water and the weather was
bitter cold.
A second and third alarm was turned
in, and in twenty minutes after the
floor fell, all the available men and ap-
paratus in the department were en-
gagged in fighting the fire. The ten
streams of water that were turned on
the burning building from front and
rear did not seem to have any effect on
the fire, which passed to the building
adjoining on the south, occupied by
Fairbanks, Morse & Co., the dealers IL
scales.
Before clock this building was OF
fire and it was certain that the fire
would go to the alley on the south. II
spread with such rapidity in that di
rection that the occupants of the build
ings did not have an opportunity to re
move any of their goods, not even theil
books and papers. The water poured
on the Fairbanks, Morse & Co. building
did not have any effect against thu
strong wind that was blowing from thu
north and soon after o'clock the las
business house between the fire and th'
alley, that occupied by Ward Bros.
wholesale druggists, took fire. AT
o'clock, when the fire had been place'
under control, but which was still

A Bad Wreck.

McKEEsPoRT, Pa, Dec "A bad
freight wreck occurred on the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad at Demmler sta
ton, two miles west of here, few
minutes before midnight Monday
night. 1t was caused by the breaking
Of an axle on one of the cars of fast
freight No. 90, eastbound. AS result
seventeen cars were derailod, several
of them telescoped and overturned, and
both tracks were torn up for con-
siderable distance. Traffic was con-
tinued by using the Pittsburg g. Lake
Erie road, which tracks parallel the
Baltimore & Ohio at that place. No
one was hurt.
