At ii o'clock Sunday night the tire
alarm was sounded and soon the
heavy hose carts were rumbling over
the streets toward the northern part
OF the city. But the wind was blow
Ing gale and before the fire compa-
nies could possibly reach the scene,
two buildings were consumed and the
third one badly burned. The fire
caught in a small shed on West Tenth
street, owned by ]. L. Trout, now liy-
ing in Oklahoma. The fire spread
from the shed TO barn on the same
premises. The barn contained bug
gy and two Or three head OF stock all
OF which ware safely removed by the
man who first aroused the neighbOrs.
The contents OF the barn belonged to
Ed Hale and would have been burned
had they not been removed by the
man who first discovered the fire.
The barn and shed were entirely de.
stroyed. The flames leaped across
the alley west and caught the resi-
dence owned by Thomas B. Brown OF
Westchester, Pa, and occupied by Ed
Hale. Almost all the contents OF the
house we're removed, but considerable
damage was sustained in removing
them. They were insured. The shed
and barn, so far as we can learn, were
without insurance. Their loss, how.
ever, was light. The total loss will
perhaps aggregate $500. The building
in which the fire started contained
nothing but some coal. 1t is thought
that the fire was Intentionally
started.

CoviIIe Reservation Has Been
Prospected.
A TALK WITH A PR0SPECTOR
Most OF the Locations Have Been Made
Close to the International
Boundary.

Colville, Wash. Nov. 30.-The Col
vile Indian reservation is now the
prospector's paradise, if the records in
the office of the county auditor are an
index. Within the past three months
there have been fully 100 quartz loca-
ton notices filed for record in the aud
itors office, representing that many
claims located on the coded portion of
the reserve. A few of these claims are
located in the vicinity of Northport,
but vast majority are in the rich min
eral region along Kettle river between
Marcus and the international boundary
line
There are notices of record claiming
gold, silver, copper, cinnabar iron,
mica and coal, and many of the other
minerals are represented If One-tenth
part of evidence VOuchsafed by the
mineral locations is true, there are un-
told millions of undeveloped wealth in
sight.
These locations are not all that have
been made, for there are those that
bear date from time to time as far
back as 1892. The interior department
has, almost every year, directed the
local officials to discourage any in
VasiOn of whites upon the reservation,
and eX-Secretary Noble, just before re-
firing, four years ago, issued and pub
lished an order that any one, not an
Indian and entitled by right of tribal
relations to reside on the reservation,
who, through any preteXt sought a pri-
GRITTY of right or settlement on the res
ervation by going or remaining upon
! the territory embraced within it's boun-
diaries before the issuance of the presi-
dents proclamation declaring it part
of the public domain, would be barred
from any rights or privileges accorded
by the act Of congress or any treaty
making reserve public lands. This or
der had the desired effect for a time,
but the prospectors finally concluded
that it was a bluff, and they have been
lodging the Indian police and stalking
out mineral claims in remote places.

Spanish According to spanish AdVices,
Achieved a Great Victory.
Havana, Nov. 30.-The columns of troops
commanded by Brigadier General Oliver
and Luque have both been engaged twice
with the insurgent forces commanded by
Maxine Gomez in the province of Santa
Clara The insurgents left on the field
80 killed and carried off 300.
General Luque commanded 1900 infan-
trymen, 100 cavalrymen and had one piece
of artillery while General oliver had 400
infantrymen, IUv cayaIrymen and two
pieces of artillery. The insurgents forces
were attacked simultaneously by Generals
Luque and oliver. Gomez, according to
the official reports now, had 1000 cavalry
men and 1000 infantrymen and one piece
of artillery.
The fire vas opened by the Spanish ar
t1llery.
One thousand cavalry, under Guerra. en-
gagged the attention of the infantry, but
the deadly effects of Manser rifles COM
PEELED a retreat.
General oliver rushed in at tho head
of 600 Spanish Infantry. The insurgents
were somewhat disconnected and re-
treated.
The Spanish artillery kept UP a contin-
uous firing of shells. and the insurgents
were compelled to abandon their posi-
tons, finally seeking safety in the woods.
The insurgents left so killed and 400
wounded. OF the troops, two lieutenants,
a corporal and eight soldiers were killed
and Is persons injured.
Immediately after the engagement Gen
eral oliver received word that General

los with 1000 men, trying to effect juno
ton with Gomez. General Oliver at once
started in pursuit Of General Sanchez On
the following morning an engagement
took place
The troops, encouraged by their previous
victory, were eager for the fight. They
occupied all of the favorable positions,
hoping to keep the insurgents from effect
ing a retreat.
The battle lasted nine hours, and was
ended by a charge of bayonets ordered by
General oliver
The insurgents disappeared in all direc-
tons. leaving So killed and % wounded.

ouTslO THE OTHER sHlPeUILoERS
Southern Concern u Dangerous com
Dctitor of CrampS.

Washington, Nov. 30.-There were two
surprises when the bids for building the
two big battleshps authorized by the
last congress were opened at the navy de-
partment today.
The Southern ship-bulding concern I'M
derbid all competitors north and west for
the building of these boats on the plans
drawn up by the navy department.
The Cramps offered to build the two bat
tleships with armor for the hulls and
throw in another ship of the lake type,
but without armor, on their own plans,
for the sum fixed upon by congress as the
ultimate cost of the two ships.
The new boats will be about 10000 tons
displacement, but will really be larger
than the Iowa, the largest of the battle
ships now under construction.
Cramp & Sons offered to construct one
on the departments plan for $2S20,000; two
for $1,000, 900 each. They offered to build
three ships on their own plans with COM
plete armor for the hulls of two, for 49,
000, 000 They offered to build two ships
on their own plans, with armor for both
hulls and guns, for So, $3.50, 900, and finally
proposed to build the ships on another
set of plans of their own for $780, 900 for
one or 81, 450, 900 each for two.
The Union Iron Works of San Francisco
bid on the departments plans; 2,740,OOO
for one ship, $2,69O,OO0 for each of the
two. On their own plans they bid $780,
900.
The Newport News Ship-Building and
Dry Dock Company of Virginia put in
one straight bid of $3.50, 900 for one and
81, 250,0 900 each for two boats
AS the law requires one Of the ships
to go to the Pacific coast, if the price is
reasonable, there is little doubt that the
Union Iron Works will receive the con-
tract for at least one ship, as it's bid is
about a quarter of a million dollars less
than the contract price for the Iowa.

The Daughter Given Possession
by the Courts.
FOUR MILLIONS ARE INVOLVED
The Attorneys for the Successful Liti
CANT viii Receive One Fourth
as Their Reward.

San Francisco, Nov 30.-The supreme
court of California closed the litigation
over the Blythe estate today by deny
ing all existing appeals, except that
of the Blythe company from the decree
of distribution. Today's decision prac-
tically settles the whole case, confirm
ing Florence Blythe Hinckley in the
possession of her fathers property,
valued at $4000,000.
The Blythe case was one of the most
noted in the civil history of California
courts. The question hinged on pa
ternity, the efforts of other claimants
being directed toward proving that
Florence Blythe was no relation of
Thomas Blythe, who had valuable
estate when he died. Now that the
question has been settled the lawyers
in the case will receive their reward.
1t is understood that their fees will
amount to over 100000, attorneys for
the successful litigant having defended
her contention on a contingent fee. The
costs Of the suit will also amount to an
independent fortune.

garet Mather Pabst left for New York
today. In the announcement of the fact
the Pabst is left off and she is again

tlement between herself and husband
have been agreed on and that she will
take up her residence in the east. Colonel
Gustav Pabst, her husband, has not been
here since a few days after the horse
whipping. He got leave of absence from
his duties of quartermaster of the Fourth

months. Since then it has been learned
that he went to South Dakota, where he
will remain until he secures legal resi-
dence, when he will bring suit.

British Ambassador TO Turkey Recon
sidcrs His First Impulse.

Constantnople, Nov. 20 (via Sofia, Bull
garia, Nov. 3O.--After all the warlike talk
of yesterday the British ambassador, Sir
Phillip Currie, has backed down. The
British gunboat Driad has been ordered
back to Salonica. The general opinion Is
that the powers have been placed in q
somewhat ridiculous position.
Following the repeated threats of fore
ing the passage of the Dardenelles If the
sultan persisted in refusing to allow ex-
ira gunboats to enter the Bosphorous this
looks very much as if Abdul Hamid and
his advisers were well Informed when they
persisted in holding out against the de-
mands of the representatives of Great
Britain, Russia, Italy and Austria for adj
ditional guardships, believing they were
justified in SO doing on the ground that
the powers are not in accord as officially
stated, and that the dissenting powers
were behind Abdul Hamid in the stand he
has taken.
STARTLING REPORT.
Paris, Nov. 30.-A report is current that
a British Warship has passed through
the DardaneIles and that while making
the inward passage she was fired upon
by the big Turkish forts. The rumor can
not be confirmed.

WAT GOLD ADVOCATE CAN REPLY2
Why Has France Gold TO Spare With
MIl1Ons Of Silver Currency?

Why las France Gold TO Spare with
Niil7Ons Of Silver Currency?
New York, Nov. 30.-Financiers and OPP
orators are looking forward anXiously to
the report of the secretary of the treasury
and the presidents message, in so far as
they may bear on the currency situation.
Currency reformers are unusually active
at the present time and impress upon the
financial community that the reason gold
continues to go out is because our cur
rency is diluted with deprecated silver
and fiat paper. They forget that France,
which has within the last 20 years accu-
muIated the largest stock of gold the
world has ever saw, contains in it's cur
rency a vast volume Of this so-called
DEPRECATED silver and fiat paper. Why
is it then that France accumuIates gold
while the United States is steadily los
ing il? The answer would seem to lie in
the difference between the economic pol
icies of the two countries
