THE INSURANCE RATE WAR.
It Will Probably Begin mt Once
Roth SldeN Rcticcnt.

The war now on in Richmond between
the members of the Southeastern Tarin
Association and the fire-insurance
agencies here which do not belong to that
federation bids fair TO become quite In
teresting, and 20 result in a considerable
saving TO those taking insurance at the
expense OF the insurance agencies.
Those on both sides were quite reticent
concerning the matter when approachd
by a Dispatch reporter yesterday. ana
would only agree that the differences
meant the cutting Of insurance rates
under certain conditions. Just the extent
of the reduction that the war Will bring
about could not be told.
The advice OF the Southeastern Tariff
Association to its members was TO protect
themselves against the companies giving
lower rates of insurance than the com
panies in that organization gave. SO far,
there are only few insurance companies
here out Of the association. and those re-
presenting these concerns say that they
have nothing to lose by the action OF the
association. On the other hand, the asso-
citation companies claim that they are
here to stay. and propose to do the bust
ness. The situation at present Is de-
cidedly uncertain one.

INCIDENT NEAR BLUEFIELDs.
II Any Vessel Was Fired on IL Was
the Meteor.

MOBILE, ALA, March 1.-The impress
sion here is that IL any vessel was fred
upon near Bluefields by a British warship
It was small schooner. the Meteor.
which left here February 10th, COM
manded by David W. Davis. The vessel
had cargo OF lumber and several cases
labelled books, but whether The cases con-
tanned books or not no one knows. The
vessel carried as passengers TO Cprn
Island a Mr.. and Mrs. Aldrich. who live
there. Aldrich had chartered the vessel
for a previous voyage, when. as Mrs.
Captain Davis, who lives here, admits,
the charge was made that munitions OF
war had been carried, but her husband
told her that he had too much at stake
to enter upon so foolish a business.
Nevertheless, as Captain Davis was
sick at home part of the time when the
vessel was loading. II Is possible that she
had war material put aboard without his
knowledge That something CT the sort
was contemplated is In evidence from
the statement of n cousin OF Captain Da-
vis's that application was made to him to
take a quantity OF ammunition TO Blue
fields, but he refused TO do so, as he was
to have a lady. Mrs. Aldrich, on beard.
The vessel was loaded at a point three
miles above the city, opposite powder
magazine, and was not inspected.
