Accepted by the Cubans.
NEW YORK, April 21.-T. E. Palma,
president OF the Cuban revolutionary
junta. last night gave out an address to
tho people OF the United States, in which
no says that the persistency with which
the American press has during the
last few days been treating Of sup
posed administrative reforms TO be
introduced In Cuba by the govern
ment of Spain, compols him to make
some declarations In behalf OF his
government. He says the question OF the
supposed reforms Is not matter which
nc all concerns those who have already es-
tablished an independent government In
Cuba, and have resolved TO shrink from
no sacrifice of property or life, in order to
emancipate the whole island from the
Spanish yoke. Those who initiate under
the flag OF the solitary star, are firmly re-
solved TO listen 20 no compromise, and TO
treat with Spain only upon the basis OF
absolute Independence for Cuba.
IF Spain has the power to exterminate
u.s. he goes on, "Then let her convert the
island into a vast cemetery; IL she has not
and wishes to terminate tho war before
the whole countSy is reduced to ashes, then
let her adopt the only measure that will
put an end To II and recognize our inde-
pendence. The war OF Cuba has for its OBJ
ject only the overthrow OF the Spanish
power, and TO establish an independent re-
public, under whose laws the Spanish may
continue to. live side by side with the
Cuban as members OF the same commun-
ity and citizens OF the same nation. This
Is our program and we strictly adhere to

FIRE At WASHINGTON.
Two firemen 0ead--four Fatally Injured.
and Still Others Missing.

Washington, May 1s-Fire swept
away the whole block of commercial
buildings opposite the Smithsonian in
st:tution. this evening. The lives of al
least three firemen were crushed out
by falling walls. and the loss will ex-
cecd 500. 900. The buildings covering
the block adjoining the Center market
constituted practically the entire com
mission and wholesale produce bust
ness of Washington.
1t is thought that lightning travel
ling on telegraph wires entered the
Postal Telegraph sub-station and
started the flames which rapidly spead
through the highly inhammable ma
terials in the stores fronting on Louisi-
ana avenue, Ninth Tenth and y streets
Exploding barrels of Kerosene and
gasolene drove off the flremen and led
them to direct their energies to pre-
venting the flames crossing the streets
to the neighboring squares.
While the flremen of No. s engine
were working n hose through one of the
old buildings. the roof fell without
warning. burying them in the ruins.
The wrecked building began burning
furiously and any attempt at rescue
was beyond question. Not until an
hour later had the flames sufficiently
subsidized at this point for the firemen
to begin clearing away the debris.
Then the three men, still alive. but
scorched and crushed beyond all hope
OF recovery, We're taken out and re-
moved to the Providence hospital
At midnight. the firemen came upon
|another body. Others are still believed
to be in the ruins and are being
searched for.
Later information is to the effect that
two firemen are dead. and four firemen
dangerously. perhaps fatally. injured.
Four others are known to be in the
ruins. Several others are missing.

Oakland seems to be having her
| share of the depredatOry attacks which
are prevalent In this part Of the State.
| Ever since the unsuccessful attempts
to enter houses here. some weeks ago,
| suspicious looking characters. tramps
and cheap tramps, have been seen
| hanging about the streets of the town.
A week ago Saturday night. Constable
II. f. Robinson and several assistants
discovered a tough looking tramp lying
| on the embankment behind the post
| office. and after some persuasion pre-
vailed on him to depart on the O'Clock
| freight train for Portland. The next
night. men with dark lanterns were
| seen prowling about the stable Of
Arnold Tilton on Summer street. Some
neighbors We're aroused and succeeded
| in frightening the men away. 1t is
supposed they We're the same who later
in the night made an unsuccessful at
tempt to enter the furniture rooms Of
w. II. Wheeler. No further attempts
were made until the next Thursday
night. when several augurs. bits and q
saw were stolen from J. Il. Redmond's
carriage repair shop. This circum-
stance excited no comment; indeed, few
knew anything about it until early
Saturday morning when the tools were
found on the steps of the clothing store
of Mr.. ]. II. Morse. together with other
evidences Of a burglary. This last
break was discovered by Mr.. Frank
White. the popular expressman, who
Immediately reported to Mr.. Morse.
Upon his arrival at the store investiga-
tious were made, when it was dis
covered that the store had been en-
tered by making 9 by Il inch aperture
in the lower panel of the front door.
This aperture was made by two inch
augur and a three fourths inch bit.
bearing the name of ]. Il. Redmond.
II is thought that the entrance must
have been effected after the early
shower. which occurred early in the
morning, as some clothing was found
on the sidewalk perfectly dry also
fresh tracks of wagon which had
evidently stopped in front of the store.
The proprietor can not tell exactly how
much was taken but is certain that he
lost three complete suits of clothes. all
small sizes, shirts. Undertaking, sew
eral hats and caps, and some jewelry.
The money drawer was undisturbed,
but Il small sum of money was taken

may have been the work of tramps but
it is the opinion of many that the
burglars were town characters. Many,
think Oakland should have night

OUR OWN FAULT.
We Lose Handily Won Game
to Fall River, Toto 9.
Our Errors in Third, Fifth and Eighth
Let in Three Runs.
TODAY, We viii Square Ourselves BY Downing
the Champions.

II was an exciting game, and one
that should have belonged to the home
team A few little errors threw away
what seemed to be sure victory. 1t
vas no fault of Weekes that the game
was lost. He pitched winning ball
and was not hit nearly as hard as
pitcher Fitzpatrick of the Fall Rivers.
He was as cool as an iceburg in the
box, and worked his hitters finely.
The game was won out by the FAN
Rivers in the ninth inning. when the
home team, with two scores ahead.
apparently had a cinch on it. 1t was
an exciting contest from start to
finish, and the spectators felt repaid
for seeing it, even though the home
team failed to pull off a victory.
Fall River played an almost fault
less game in the field, only one error
marring their work. For the home
team the batting of Bean was the fea-
ture. He not only made four safe hits
in five times at bat, but fielded his
position perfectly.
Pickett made some beautiful catches
in left field and put in a timely three
Dagger Some beautiful fly catches
were made in right field by ]. Kelley.
The following is the tabulated score:
