CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, April 29.-
The alarm Of fire was again sounded
here, to. day, at about2 O'Clock. The
scene of the fire was located in the
Portland hotel, and before assistance
could arrive the entire building was II
mass OF flames. The walls have fallen
in and the fire IS spreading rapidly and
other blocks are endangered. Streets
offer no in pediment, as the flames are
Jumping across them unhindered.
One hundred pounds of dynamite
has just been exploded in one building
in the effort to prevent the spread of
the flames, but this is now seen to be
Intellectual, as the ruins are being
Tapped up like kindling wood.
The new quarters of the First Ma
tional bank and Bi-metallic bank are
greatly threatened. The wind is in
creasing and assists the fsmes wonder
fully. Every possible effort by blow
ing up buildings with dynamite to pre-
vent the spread of flames seems inef-
fectual. Intense excitement prevails.

"A p. III. THE terrible conhagration

check it. Dynamite has been used
freely and to flightful effect, as large
number have beer killed. The fire
will exceed the cortlsgration OF the

erty burned. The people seem to be
entirely undone and are only thinking
of their lives. ~
The Palace hotel is threatened and
the Florence s. Cripple Creek depot is
endangered. The people are making
for the bills, glad to escape from the
burning city with their lives. The
Journal office is gone and the new Of
fee of the Times, with its new outfit,
must go. The whole town is prac.i-
sally in flames, and there is no con-
lecture as to where the disturbance

CUBAN REsOLUTIoNs.-A finally

in both by large majorities, the Gu.
ban resolutions read as follows:
ReSOlred, That, in the opinion OF
Congress. condition of public war
exists between the government of
Spain and the government pro.
claimed, and for some time main.
tanned by force of arms, by the PEG.
pie of Cuba, and that the United

ReSOtred further, That the friendly
