PARIS, July lone of the largest fires
that have occurred in this city for some
time broke out at noon to-day in the
military equipment works in the Rue
Rochefort, in the northern part of the
city. The flames spread with the great
est rapidity, and the employees were
quickly driven into the street. The fire.
men were promptly on the scene, but
their efforts were rendered fruitlesg by
scarcity of the water supply.
The fire extended 10 buildings on Rue
Petrelle on the north and Rue Ceudorcet
on the south. The immense building on
the latter street, devoted to the mantact-
ure of gas meters, was destroyed. 1t WAS
not until late this evening that the fire
was extinguished. The loss was fully
100000 francs.
Immense crowds gathered in the vicin-
ity to watch the contlagration, and it was
necessary to call on the troops to aid the
police in cordoning the streets.
Two iremen and dozens of civilians
were severely hurt. NJ. Leigeis, Minister
of Interior, visited the injured in the
hospital, where they had peen taken. He
presented to one of the injured firemen a
medal for bravery.
President Faure has donated 1000
francs and the Municipal Council 1000
francs for the relief of the sufferers. The
origin OF the fire is unknown.

PADUCAH QNy.), July News was re-
ceived here to-day of bloody quadruple
tragedy in q remote section of Trigg
County, last Friday night. John Rhodes
and Chat Hammond were shot to death
by Bithal Colston, an ex-convict and the
next morning the bodies of Colston and
Mollie Smith, his mistress, were found
in the road riddled with bullets.
1t seems that Colston. who was but re-
Gently released from the Frankfort peni-
tentiary, where he had been sent for
horse-stealing. had ever since his release
been cunning for all who had been wit
nesses against him. Among the wit
nesses were five brothers named Rhodes,
and they were the first picked out by the
convict. Meeting John Rhodes at Rhodes
Landing, he shot him down, instantly
killing him. He then started for the
other Rhodes boys, and not far from
where he shot John Rhodes he saw Chat
Hammond giving Abe Rhodes drink of
water from spring. This SO exasper-
ated Coiston that instead of killing
Rhodes, as he had intended, he<killed
Hammond. He then left Rhodes, who
was unarmed, and went to where his
mistress, Mollie Smith. lived. They
spent part of the night in drunken
carousal, and shortly after daylight both
were found dead on the road. Whether
they were shot by the Rhodes boys or
their friends may never be known.

In small schooner, about April l, for the

A passenger on the Plant steamer from

H. o. Stone, a wealthy Chicagoan. who

Cuban Instructions are stirred up by Span
ish officers for their own glory.
Il believe that these Instructions are
stirred up by the Spanish officers them
selves" said Mr.. Stone. ct means more
glory ard stars on their shoulders. 1t is
hard to find rabid revolutionists. and the
'outrages' written of at such length about
imprisoned American citizens are, as far
as we cloud learn, cases of naturaliZed
Cubans. Almost every native cigar maker,
working in tobacco factories at from s. to
s. day, sets aside one days pay each
week for the Cuban cause. This goes to
leaders. who are simply robbing the ignor-
ant and oppressed. 1t is commonly known
there that the leader Of the banditti, called
the King Of Cuba, with a following of
about 5000 of every kind of robbers and
desperate men. would not be captured or
killed by the Spanish government IL such
were possible. This man is a marauder and
robber, and cares nothing for the freedom
10 nnaa no
of much revenue to the Spanish govern
ment Every planter is compelled. for pro-
lection Of property and life, to hire from
ten to one hundred Spanish troops, for
which he pays s. month and board. This
amounts to more than to support the Span
ish army in Cuba. and it is not likely that
such state of affairs Is at all contrary
to the wishes of the powers that be. The
motto is No baEditti, no hiring of troops,
and is the secret of a great deal of these
recent troubles"

tht VENEZUELAN BOUNDARY
Two Letters by Secretary Gresham to Am
bassador Bayard on the Subject
The Desire of the United States to
Adjust the Differences by Means
of Arbitration.

The only references in the published cor
respondence of the State Department for
1894 touching the Venezuelan boundary
dispute are found in two letters addressed
by Secretary Gresham to United States
Ambassador Bayard at London, one dated
July 13 last, and the other bearing date
December / last. In the first letter Secre-
tary Gresham details at length the EFFORTS
made by the United States and also by
Venezuela to bring about a settlement of
this dispute by arbitration and says:
1.-The President is inspired by a desire
for a peaceable and honorable adjustment
of the existing difficulties between an Amer
lean state and a powerful transatlantic
nation, and would be glad to see the re-
establishment of such diplomatic relations
between them as would promote that end.
I can discern but two equitable solutions to
the present controversy. One Is the arbi-
trail determination of the rights of the dis
putants as the respective. successors to the
historical rights of Holland and Spain over
the region in question. The other Is to
create a new boundary line in accordance
with the dictates of mutual expediency and
consideration. The two governments hav-
ing so t. been unable to agree on a con-
vent nal line, the consistent and con-
sp.cu advocacy by the United States
and En-. and of the principle of arbitration,
and their recourse thereto in settlement of
important questions arising between them,
make such mode of adjustment especial
ly appropriate in the present instance, AMI
this government will gladly do what it can
to further a determination in that sense"
In the letter of December last Secre-
tary Gresham says:
II cannot believe her majesty's govern
ment will maintain that the validity of their
claim to territory long in dispute between
the two countries shall be conceded as a
condition precedent to the arbitration of the
question whether Venezuela is entitled to
a
period was never in doubt. Our interest in
the question has repeatedly been shown by
our friendly efforts to further a settlement
alike honorable to both countries, and the
President is pleased to know that Venezuela
will soon renew her efforts to bring about
such adjustment 1t Is not doubted
that you will discreetly exert your influence
In favor of some plan of honorable settle
mont
