The fire started near the furnace and
shot UP the rear stairways with great
rapidity, spreading To each of the hNe
floors \ panic cnsued among the l0o
employees. Many on the upper fioOrS
rushed to the windows and screamed
for help. Charles III. Smith. a salesman
on the second floor. climbed out of Il win

boy, displayed great presence of mind.
When the alarm was given he ran his ele-
vator to the fourth floor and led Miss Mar
tell. one of the bookkecpers, 10 the car
and brought her safely to the ground,
where she tainted. Miss Jennie Levy,
the cashier on the first floor, had her
desk on n sort Of platform from which

A confidential employee of the Bell

was in the neighborhood of S1J0,O00.
He could give no accurate figures con-
corning insurance. but said he thought
the concern carried $4,000 To $4,000.

While the Spanish and Hawaiian Incl.
dents attract more attention from the
public, the Venezuelan case is deemed

desires 10 impress upon Great Britain its

will view such action as violation OF the
Monroe doctrine. During the recent tror
bles in Bluefields. subjects of the United

through the unnecessary zeal Of Nicara-

CUBANS GET ARMS IN FLORIDA
Revolutionist Yacht Seen Loading Ri
hes Near West Palm Beach.

A party of hunters brings news 10
West Palm Beach. Fla, that tilibuster-
ing craft was loaded with arms between
there and Santana. They say that they
came upon a party Of men putting off in
a boat to n yacht which was standing
about Il mile off the coast. The men were
greatly excited by the appearance of the
hunters and rowed rapidly TO the vessel.
Through glass the hunters saw long
boxes hoistcd UP the vessels side When
all the boxes had been transferred the
men clambered up the yachts side and
steamed away south. The hunters began
an investigation and found signs OF
camp and also recent excavations. They
dug into the sand and unearthed long
narrow box which was found to be full of
rifles and machetes. The place where the
discovery was made is Il lonely spot on the
east coast. where but for accident. IA
cargo of arms might be loaded without
Interference. 1t is supposed the arms
were shipped there by rail and secretely
transferred to the place where the vessel
was seen. The hunters are confident
that the yacht was in the employ of Gu
ban reyolutionists.

The Cream City AbIaze.

Lower Grand avenue, the heart OF the
west side, OF Milwaukee, was the scene
early "Wednesday morning OF one of the
most serious CONGREGATIONS in the history
of the city. The fire is the most disastrous
since the Third Ward confagration Of
Oct. %, 1892, and the pecuniary loss will
exceed 81 100000. 1t furnished n mag
nificent spectacle for the thousands that
filled the avenue and watched il from sur
rounding buildings. There were, however,
luckily, no fatalities.
Loss to the Plankinton Estate.
The buildings owned by the Plankintnn
estate were the large brick structure COW
ering half q block. occupied by Landau
& Co, wholesale dry goods dealers, and
the Tanner Company, furniture, adjoin-
ing Landau & Co. TO the east the build
ing in the rear of Landau x Co., occupied
by the Reliance Storage Company, and
the library building at the northwest cor
ner of 4th street and Grand avenue. The
estate will suffer loss of about $3.50, 900
on the buildings occupied 10y Landaur n
Co., Tanner d Co. and the Reliance Stor-
age Co., which were practically new.
They were totally destroyed. The insur-
ance on them is estimated at 80 per cent,
which would make the loss the insurance
companies are 10 bear approximately
5000, 200 on that structure alone
Max Landaur, of Landau * Co.. said
the stock carried at present by his firm
was valued at 100000, and he usually
carried about so per cent. insurance,
which would make the actual loss of the
firm $4,000.
The Tanner Company's loss was said
to be about 100000, though no member
of the company could be found TO give
any accurate estimate. 1t was thought
the furniture stock was insured for about
% per cent. of the value.
Big CIothiers Burned Out.
The Davidson estate was the owner of
the building mt 313 and 80 Grand ave-
nue. located between part of the Plankin-
ton building that was occupied by the
Tanner Company and the Mathews build
ing. in which the retail house of Morgan
& Co. is located The only occupants OF
the store-rooms in this building were Bar
ling 81 Wambold. retail clotbcrs, but
there were few Offices in the upper part
Of the two stories. The structure was one
OF frame with veneer of brick. so the
fire underwriters say. and was worth So
900 at the outside The insurance was
said to foot mp TO about $4,000.
Barring & Wambold had just received
large consignment Of spring goods. and
the entire stock as well rs the building
was lost With the new goods the stock
was worth 10000 OF more. 80 one con
nected with the firm in Il responsible ca
pacty said. The insurance was about
c000. Roebel & Reinhart, art goods
and picture frames. were partially burned
out and the stock wholly ruined by heat
and water; insurance, 100000. Young
Mems Christian Association Building on
9TH street was burned; loss, SIo,Ooo. There
are many minor losses. including small
stores and flats.
