to fight the fire, while the marines, under
arms, were stationed about to keep the
crowd in check. The tars could be seen
on burning roofs WIN hose and buckets,
and the officers led their men into the
burning buildings. BY 10 O'Clock the fire
was well under control and at 11:39 the
Americans withdrew, leaving the smoking
ruins in charge of the firemen and police.
The fire destroyed. the best business sec
ton of the city. The loss is at
$4,Si0, 000.
Sir +. Napier Boone, X. c. b., the Gov
ernor OF Trinidad, sent Rear Admiral Meade
a most cordial letter ranking him for
the service that had been rendered, as
surfing him that he should report it to the
British government.

Department officials say that they have no
recent Information concerning the protests

strlotions imposed by Germany, France and
other countries on the importation of cat

in its diplomatic stage and the adjustment
rests with the State Department. Embas-
sailors Eustis and Runyon have presented
to the governments of France and Ger
many the protest of this government
against the unjust determinations made by
them, No surprise is felt at the hardness
of the governments of Germany and France
in responding to the representations of

listed. it required repeated reminders by this
government and the lapse of a period of

LII Has Ample Authority.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Li Hung
Changes arrival in Japan is regarded in
official circles as one of the most signifi-
cant events of recent days. It is the first
time in his life that the venerable states
man of China has set foot outside of Chi
nese soil. At his advanced age he now
journeys to China's traditional foe to offer
enormous concessions as a means of secur-
ing peace. 1t can be stated positively and
authoritatively that the general terms OF
this peace are already understood. and all
that remains to be done is the arranging
of details within certain specified limits.
about by the efforts Of United States Min.
listers DENLY, of China, and Dun, in Toxic.
1t was even feared at a late day That LIS
mission might fail through the vagueness
of his authority to treat for the ceding or
territory. This was arranged, however,
through the activity of the United states
ministers in showing that the mission
would otherwise prove futile. The general
terms of Lii Hung Changes authority are
to cede territory. pay a cash
grant the independence of Corea and ar
by which treaty extraterritorial jurIs-
diction in China will be maintained. The
exact amount of the cash indemnity is
not fixed. nor is the kind of metal 1T is to
be paid in agreed on. The boundaries of
the coded territories are yet to be arranged.
So far have the arrangements advanced
that Prince Lis mission is expected to be
consummated within a few days, unless
some unexpected hitch occurs. Count Ito,
one of the two Japanese ENJOYS, is a
close personal friend of Lii Hung Chang,
the two having settled the Corean trouble
in 1885. So great is the Japanese confidence
in the integrity of Lii and his ability to
see that China carries out an agreement
that his promises Of a settlement will
probably pave the way to a speedy cessation
of the war. Reports that Russia will inter-
vene to stop the agreement are known to be
misleading from positive information re-
ceived here. Satisfactory authorities say
that there will be no word of protest from
Russia. The same is believed to oe true
as to France, although not with the same
certainty.
