More Serious Result.
This afternoon there was a rather costly
blaze in the planning mill of Belt & Dyer
at the southeast corner of 18th and G.
streets. The fire broke out in the third
story of the rear building on C street
which Is used for drying purposes, and
for time it seemed as though the flames
would spread so as to take in the whole
structure. The firemeu devoted their at
tention to combining the fire to the portion
of the building where it broke out, and in
this they were successful.
The fire broke out about 1:15 o'clock A
local was sent in. which brought No. 2
engine quickly to the scene, and at once
the foreman instructed Policeman Kilmar-
tin, who was on the spot, to turn in a reg
ular from box 1913. This summoned en-
ris was on hand and directed the fire

Possessed of a vigorous and large frame
and always having enjoyed superb health
he felt no apprehension in the earlier stages

CONSULAR POSITIONS.


Two Candidates to Pass Exam ina tienr
for Appointments.
Through the friends of ex-Representa-
tive P. V. Deuster, who for many years
was Congressman from Wisconsin, 1t is
learned that. the President has selected him
for appointment to the consulate of the
United States at Crefeld. Germany, made
vacant by the death of the late consul, Mr.
Jones. Tha appointment is subject, how
ever, to his passing successful examina-
tion before the board appointed to examine
applicants for appointment as consuls.
Another candidate for the consular SER
V1co is d. r. P. Hibbs of Minnesota, who
has been called to Washington to stand an
examination for appointment to the con-
suiate at Cape Town, S. A, vacated by the
death OF Consul Benedict. If the appoint
me:lt were deferred until the beginning of
the next fiscal year, the place would be re-
moved from the competitive class, but be-
fore that date the increased compensation
allowed by Congress does not attach, and
the office is in The non-eAempted class.

MIR. BLACHLY's ARREST.
What an Investigation Shows A

What an Investigation Shows Ac-
cording to the Mexican Legation.
The Commercial Gazette of Cincinnati of
December 26. 1895. published letter. dated
at the city of Durango Mexico, on the
9th of that month, signed by James H.
Chase, citizen of the United States which,
although 1t was rather complaint against
the consul Of the United States in said city,
stated that B. B. Bachly, citizen of this
country. had been illegally arrested at San
tiago Papasquiaro. Durango, by q police
man, and that Blachly intended to present
claim against the Mexican government on
that account.
The Mexican legation here requested that
an official investigation be made on the sub
Ject, and, from an official report of the gov
ernor of the state of Durango, dated Janu-
ary IA, QS9t, it appears that B. B. Blachly
was detained by policeman in Santiago
PapasQuiaro only for twenty minutes be-
cause lie would not take back a Bible tha t
he had sold to the pol:cenlan's wife, who
afterWard desired to return it, very likely
when she found that 1T was Protestant
Bible, intending to buy Catholic one but
that as soon as the proper authorities were
tnfol med of the case the policeman was dis
prisonment, which fully satisfied Mr.. Blach-
ly. 1t is also claimed that Mr. Chase's COM
plaint of negligence on the part of Mr.. Nc

the only way the insurgents can hope to

Spain becomes exhausted and sells the

is composed almost exclusively of boys un-
used to hardship. They are ragged, over

terrible heat and yellow fever. The prevail

of Americans, he says, is mistake.

American can campaign with the insur-
