Damaged BY Fire,

IT, Louis C0mpany's Plant 1T Glen Carbon
Damaged by Fire.
GLEN CARBON, H., April 1.-THE st.
Louis press brick works here were
partially destroyed by fire yesterday.
The loss Is thought TO be about $780,
600. One OF the workmen gave the
alarm, and what few men were at the
yard commenced to fight the fire,
which seemed to have started near the
middle Of the yard. A few minutes
after the first alarm they were joined
by about 100 men from the boarding
and dwelling houses Of the brick yard,
but by this time the fire had spread
through three Of the kilns. AT l'4j
o'clock No. 2 coal mine Of the Madison
Coal Go. sounded the alarm and all
the coal mines OF the city turned out
to help fight the fire. At2 o'clock the
wind was blowing very strong
towards the fine hotel owned by the
brick yard company, and it looked as
though It and the barns, Office and
blacksmith shop would be burned.
Men were at once set to work carrying
out the furniture and moving every
thing OF value across the road into the
adjoining field Soon atterward the
wind changed and turned the flames
away from the other buildings, ind by
the use Of few hundred buckets OF
water they were saved.

MAcEo CAPTURED.


The Cubon Leader Defeated, PURSUED ana
Caught by spanish Soldiers.
HAVANA, April is.-Maceo is cap
tured and Cuba's last hope is gone.
Crombet has been killed. Without
these two leaders oil is chaos in the in
surgent ranks and liberty's most ardent
friends admit that the Cuban cause Is
lost. The Cuban army met the Span
iards at Palmarito The rebel forces
amounted to little more than 1900
men, while that Of the Spaniards was
about 5000. A desperate battle fol-
lowed. The fighting, according to Of
fetal reports, listed about two hours,
and at the end Of that time the rebels
rstreated. They were pursued by the
Spanish troops and Maceo was cap
tured. His secretary was also taken,
and all the personal and private papers
Of Gen. Maceo were conascated.
Flor Crombet, Maceo's chief adviser,
was killed on the battlefield. 1t was
he who was chiefly instrumental In or
ganizing the provisional government
at Gustanaro. Martl, president OF this
government, Is said to have fled to the
United States
Maceo's fate Is known in advance.
Ii would be far better for him II he
had been killed, as was Crombet, than
to be brought here 10 Havana and put
In old Morrocastles gloomy prison. lie
will be kept there for some time, and
then possibly he will be given mock
trial. 1t is certain he will be garroted

WASHINGTON, April lo.-At the meet

delegates yesterday Secretary Of Agri-

the gathering, said he presumed the
delegates were aware they were
entering upon an inquiry Of great
gravity and difficulty. 1t was matter
between two great classes, the pro-
iluccr and consumers, rs to what was
needed he said, in order to get accu-

crop censn, was needed, after which
approximate facts crop acreage could
be obtained. Some persons thought
this was too costly. He had dis
cussed the matter with the presi-
dent and had believed 1t was the only
way. 1t had been estimated it would
cost :5o000o a year, but the secretary
believed, even If il should cost three
times as much as this, It would be
money well expended, He assured the

the last half century.
Councillor Jermakoff, the iately de-
ceased Russian millionaire, spent dur
ing the last twenty years no less than
IS, ,000, 900 on charitable objects. He
started in life as cotton spinner in
small way, prospered in business, and
became wealthy. His first great act
of liberality was to purchase the free
dom of the peasants in his little native
town from the serf tax for the sum of
100000. At every outbreak of
famine lie would send large supplies
of corn and potatoes to the districts
affected. Notwithstanding this lavish
display of generosity during his lite
time, M. Jermakoff is believed to have
left a considerable fortune. About
half the population of Moscow attended
his funeral.

AN INCREASE OF SURVIVORS.

Among the curioslties of the United
States census is the fact that the mum
ber of veterans drawing pensions on
account of service in the Federal armies
during the civil war, instead of de-
creasing from year to year, seems,
rather, to increase. Those familiar
with military statistics will not, how
ever, be surprised at this. Take, for
example. the Thousand" who accom-
panied Garibaldi in Marsala.
To speak with absolute accuracy, this
heroic band consisted of 1,051 souls,
including two gallant Frenchmen.
They fought with utter recklessness
and suffered terribly from lack of food
and shelter. Nevertheless, it is COM
puted that the survivors Of the "Thous-
and" in Italy now number fully 1000
men, and to those should be added at
least 10, 900 more who are at present
either in the United States or in the
Argentine Republic.
do not know precisely how many
survivors of the Six Hundred of Balak-
lava there are now in Great Britain,
but there is not town of any size in
the United States that does not boast
of at least one Of these gallant men,
and we may safely assume that there
are fully 1900 survivors of the Six
Hundred in the United States alone,
without counting those in Canada and
the other colonies. wv. l.. Alden in
