BIG RLAZE In CLEVELAND.
Five.StOry Building Burned-VigOr'
Gus Work Prevented FLAMES from
Spreading-NarrOw Escapes.

Cleveland, Nov. 2O.-A fire broke ont
shortly before 8 O'Clock this morning in
a five-story building on Superior street,
occupied by H. W. Luetekemeyer 4 Co.,
Wholesale hardware and paint dealers.
The flames originated in the paint de-
partment and rapidly spread until the
entire building was enveloped In flames.
E. w. Luetekemeyer, son OF the senior
partner in the firm, was badly burned in
attempting to subdue the flames.
The remaining fifty persons in the
building it is believed escaped.
A strong wind carried the flames high
over the adjoining buildings. 1t was
feared the eight.story building on the
west side of the street would 60. A Sec
ond alarm was sent out, bringing into
action twenty-five engines, two fire boats
and the water tower. At this hour (10:3O)
the fire seems to be under control.
The fire is practically under control at
II O'Clock, the fremen having confined
the flames to the Luetekemeyer, building,
which vas entirely consumed with its
contents.
The loss is $35O,oOo, partly covered by
insurance.
Three men we're removed by fremen,
badly burned and almost suffocated. Ru'
mors are in circulation that some persons
employed in the building are missing.
The great element of danger was the
stock Of cartridges which exploded with
terrific force at short intervals, causing
the thousands of spectators to make
rush for safety.

These sheep are oolored white, reddish

the Persian and Merino, the average
length being eight inches.

offered for sale in San Francisco brought
an advance of 4 cents on the usual price

Two Posses in Hot Pursuit of
the Border Rufians.

Separ, N. NJ, Nov. 20.-Deputy U. 8.
Marshal McGlinchey has had fight with
Black Jacks bandits, killing the motor
ious Bob Hayes and wounding George
Musgrave, alias jeff Davis, who escaped
None of the posse were injured.
Black Jack, Frank Anderson Bill
George and another escaped and the
posse is in pursuit.
Deputy Marshal Ezekiels, with posse
of six, and four Apache trailers, is push
ing in from this side.
The fight occurred at Deer Creek, about
thirty miles south of Separ, on the South
ern Pacific road.
This is the most desperate gang that
ever infested Arizona and New Mexico.
They commenced operations in July last,
since which time they held mp Separ
twice and the White Oak stage twice,
robbing the mail four times; have held
up and robbed the Nogales bank, the
lewiston postoffice, the San Simon post
office, the station and store at STEMS sta
tion, the Central postofice; attempted to
hold up a mail train on the Atlantic d
Pacific road, in which their leader, Cole
Young, was killed by Deputy Marshal
Loomis, ofSanta Fe.
They also took in the Huachuos siding
station on the 7th inst, robbing the agent,
the object being to intercept the pay
master, en- route to pay the troopsa at Fort
Huachuca, but they missed the date.
Then they went over to Wilcox, where
they planned to rob the United States
paymaster on the 18th on his way to Fort
Grant, but missed the date again.
They were making for Chihuahua when
interrupted by McGlinchey.
During the last three months they have
twice tried to hold up a Southern Pacific
mail train, but failed.
During their reign of terror, they have
killed four men, as follows:
Robinson, the line rider, who with a
posse pursued them after the attempted
bank robbery at Nogales; Parker, ranch-
man, near Rosewater, N. M; a rancher
/ and cowboy in the Animas valley.
George Musgrave is supposed to be the
man, who, with Grant Wheeler, blew up
the express and mail car near Wilcox
three years ago.
Since last July the bandits have trav-
eled 5000 miles.

ARBUCKLE'S ASSASSlNS.
New York Detectives Believe They
Have Secured the Three Men Who
Caused the Death or the
Denverite.

NewYork, Nov. 2O.-The detectives' to
day made three additional arrests in con-
nectionwith the death of Frank P. Ar
buckle, of Denver.
The prisoners are George Stevens, a
saloon-keeper; Joseph Davidson, ste
nographer, and Fred Wenger, a barton
der. Investigation disclosed the fact
that on Wednesday evening Arbuckle was
in Luchow's saloon, on 14th street and
Irving place, in company with the three
men named.
They denied having gone up town with
him. Wenger said that Stevens was try
ing to get Arbuckle to 60 to Harlem with
him "to 60 against brace gambling
game" He did not know whether Stew
ems succeeded.
The men were held for further exam
ination.
Butler, a negro, arrested last night, was
released to-day, there being no evidence
to connect him with the alleged murder
and robbery.
Detectives are looking for man
named "Sheeny SAM" who bears an IN.
savory reputation, and whose haunts are
in 148th street. The detectives have
learned that this person was in the
crowd accompanying Arbuckle in Luch'
ow's saloon. r.
tt is alleged that after they left the sa-
loon, on the sidewalk outside, "Sheeney
Sam" and Wenger got into an alteration.
It was about this time that, it is alleged,
the brace game uptown was suggested
and "Sheeney Sam" is believed to have
quarreled with Wenger, thinking he was
to be cheated out of his share Of Ar
buckles money.
Wenger is said to have left the party
after the row. %
Prof. Witthous, chemist, is making a
mlcroscopicsl analysis Of the stomach of
the dead man.
Wenger has made the following state
ment: "In company with Joseph David
son and George Stevens, both of whom
came from Bentley, Kas., met Arbuckle
in Luchow's saloon on 14th street. They
wanted to steer him up against brace
game and get his money. I Ind nothing
to do with this and left the three men at
Miners theatre. That's all l know about
the case"

WEYLER'S OPERATIONS FAIL
Reports at Key West Indicate That
Captain-Generals Campaign
Was Unsuccessful.
MACEO HOLDS his STRONG POSITION
Denial of Report That Weyler is Re-
turning to Havana Accompanied
by Significant Talk About Truce
Price on Weyler's Head.

Key West, Florida, Nov. 20.-The re.
ports by the steamer from Havana are
disappointing to the Spaniards in the re.
suits expected from Gen. WeYler's opera
tions in Pinar del Rio.
Maceo is entrenched in the Cerreras
de las Organs, in the center of noun
tain fastness, awaiting an attack. Ru.
mors of his having crossed the Trocha are
without foundation.
Weyler, according to the Havana re-
port, is expected back in the city within
few days, the excuse given for the re-
turn being that the roads are not in con-
dition for active operations, the recent
heavy rains rendering the movement of
troops impracticable.
The impression prevails In military
circles in Havana that Weyler's campaign
has been complete failure and that his
carefully prepared plans to drive Maceo
out of Pinar del Rio have received a se-
we're setback.
An apparently we'll authenticated re.
port says that the City of Puerto Prin-
cipe has been besieged by the insurgents.
REPORT DENIED.
Key West, Fla.-Advices received from
Cuba to-day, by the steamship Whitney,
cast discredit upon the statement that the
campaign of Captain-General Weyler
against Antonio Maceo, in the province
Weyler will shortly return to Havana.
1t is stated on the contrary that Weyler
has no intention otreturning until he shall
have exhausted every effort to compel
Maceo to meet him in pitched battle.
When last heard from the Spanish com.
mander was massing his forces for an
attack upon the insurgents, who are said
to number only 10000 men, all told, and
are reported as suffering from scarcity of
provisions, etc.
Maceo is awaiting reinforcements.
1t is whispered that, at the conclusion
of any pitched battle, truce may be de-
clared and arrangements made for con-
ference between the insurgent leaders
and representatives of Spain looking to
settlement.
The rumors, in circulation in Havana
yesterday that the captain.general had
been killed, it appears, have originated
in the blowing up of railroad train on
which he was reported to be travelling be-
tween Candelaria and Punta Brava. He
may have intended to take the train, but
did not do go.
TEXAS SHARP SHOOTERS IN CUBA.
Atlanta, Ga, Fov. 20.--Phillip Carroll,
agent of dynamite firm, passed through
here on his way home from Cuba.
Carroll says that the insurgents have
set price on Gen. Weyler's head and he
will be taken or killed If he gets near the
insurgents lines.
Sixty Texas Rangers, armed with rifles,
which will carry balls five miles, landed
on the island three weeks ago and are on
the lookout all the time for the Spanish
officers. An insurgent accompanies each
sharp-shooter and carries field-glass.
These Texans operate chiefly from the
tree.tops. For every officer they kill or
fatally wound they get $1,000 and the
man who kills Gen. Weyler is to get
$4,000.
