Big Fire at Hot Springs.
Woman Burned to Death.
Four Blocks of Buildings Have Already
Been Destroyed.
It is Believed that Several Persons
Have Perished.

Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Feb 22.-A fire
breaking out here at o'clock this morn
ing has ragged without control. So far
four blocks of buildings have been
destroyed. 1t is not yet known
what the loss of life is but one persoe, a
Mrs. Mcleod. is known to be dead, while
othere are miseing.
Three lives were lost and 10000 worth
of property destroyed. Nearly ell the
property destroyed was boarding houses.
The dead are:
MRS. SAMMoN.
MRS MCLEOD. tfl az
UNKNOWN LADY. 3 ~
The injured are Mr.. Wing of Glens Falls,
N. Y; Mrs. Hecock, boarding house
keeper. and Mr.. and Mrs. Bronson of
Macon, Mo-, who were slightly hurt in
jumping from burning buildings. The
fire originated in a bakery on Oachita
avenue, over which were furnished rooms.
Here Mrs. Sammon, who kept the rooms,
was burned. The other buildings
were the Laclede, loss $4,000; the
Oachita, loss 5000: the Illi-
nois, $4,000; the Missouri, $4,000; the
Oak Lawn, $4,000; the Bloomington, 5000;
III. M. Hudgin's residence. $4,000; X. L.
Williams, three story brick building, S12,
900; Joplins grocery, $4,000; e. Randolph's
residence, $4,000; Ledgerwoods' bakery, the
Tennessee stables, the West House and Ii
cottages of total value of $4,000.
There is very little insurance, the loss
being practically total. The fire was at
the South End Of the Qulch in which Hot
Springs Is located, and the wind was
from the north. AS result none OF the
large hotels was at any time in danger.
Eight people are known to have psr-
ished in the fire. 1t is feared that. the
number of dead will be much greater thar
eight, as many people who lived in thu
destroyed buildings are missing.
People who roomed in the doomed
structures were caught almost without
warning and nearly all who escaped did
so in their night clothes, being unable to
save any of their effects. The flames are
still beyond control.

"Now," writes druggist Watson in his
appeal against the address OF his fellow
citizens against him, 81 would like TO ask
any reasonable person, can anyone find
any fault with that? But a certain class
do not seem to be satisfied with that,
but are trying by every known means to
have me put in Jail. Do you call this
clear and pure temperance motive, when
man gives up the business
and tries to get living, Is
1t fair to keep bounding him1
Does an intelligent public believe for one
moment that am so short-sig hted as to
break my word TO my friends and the
Attorney General, when by so doing /
shall receive certain and swift pun
ishment, and would not my enemies
take advantage of 1t at once il 1t was true?
Now few words in regard TO how that
temperance crusade has been carried on,
showing that the whole animosity has
been directed at rec. Parties that have out
ragged the law and common decency as well
have not been molested; others have been
warned to get out OF business TO escape
the wrath to come. Do you expect to
carry the sentiment and support of the
better portion of the temperance people
with you by any such unjust and one
sided measured"
And Watson closes his letter with an
appeal for fair play and a fair chance TO
pursue his legal business.

This question chiefly occupied the attcn-

1t is understood another cablegram of
instructions has been sent TO Ambassador
Rayard at London. This Government
desires TO impress upon Great Britain it's
desire that the efforts of England to col
lect the indemnity demanded of Mica
ragua by the recent British ultimatum
shall not be carried 10 extremes. 1t is
believed Ambassador Bayard has been
instructed TO learn what the purpose of
Great Britain will be in case Nicaragua
refuses to pay over the $4,000 demanded
as reparation for the mistreatmelt and
expulsion Of British Consul Hatch. If
Great Britain decided to take possession
Of Nicaraguan territory or to seize the
custom houses for the purpose of collect
ing the sum demanded, the United States
will view such action as n violation of the
Monroe doctrine. During the recent trou-
bles in Bluefields. subjects of the United
States and Great Britain alike suffered
through the unnecessary zeal of Nicara-
guam officers. For these injuries the
United States has already secured rep
aration and apology. Great Britain has
not been so fortunate. The question is
not as to whether or not reparatiOn is
due her. but solely as to the method TO
he adopted in securing compliance with
her demands
