MOST EFFECTIVE WORK Done by the Fire De-.
 partnent. A Block of Business Houses
 Saved.
Serious Consequences That Might Have Come From Residence
 Blaze.

One of the most troublesome fires ever handled by the Phoenix fire de- partment started last night at 7:30. The value of the property destroyed was small, but the location was such as to endanger most keenly the main business portion of Phoenix. The honors are with the fire department, for had it's members not responded promptly and worked intelligently and well, damage exceeding $100,000 would have been sustained by owners of near by property.
 The fire was in the old Hancock residence, an adobe of five rooms, on First avenue facing the court house. There had been fires in the fireplace and in the kitchen suove, but the blaze was first seen in the southwest room, wherein had been left nothing that could kindle it. All the family were absent at the time, Captain Hancock and his son Harry having left less than a half hour before.
 Victor Hose company, the men haul ing theiH heavy cart by hand from the West Washington street house, was the first ito arrive and soon had two streams playing. Pioneers quickly followed, and then No. arrived from the east end and coupled to the en- zine.
 Tthe building on fire was of little value in itself, but it burned like a very furnace of Babylon famed by a stiff south wind. The danger lay to the north and it was quickly appreci- ated that if the Alexander property were to catch fire nothing at hand could prevent the flames from crossing Washington street to the destruction of the three story Monihon block and of the business property that lies east of it to Center street.
 It was therefore to the adjoining buildings that the main force of the four streams were directed and with success, though the flames were at times driven fiat upon the roof of Me Carthy's blacksmith shop to the north. Within fifteen minutes the fire was under control and the fire department

MERELY A SAFEGUARD
No War Expected, but Powder WIFI
 Be Kept Dry.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The bill passed by the senate for an increase Of the navy has attracted considerable attention in view of the tension over Spanish affairs.
 In explaining the measure, MT. Hale of Maine, who reported it from the naval committee, said that while he did not believe the United States would be involved in war as result of the present troubles, yet he considered it desirable to give the president author ity in case of emergency to call out the naval militia and to charter pri- vate ships for naval transports.
 The bill as passed authorizes an ad- dition of 1000 enlisted men to the navy enlisting for not more than two years, of the naval militia forces in case of emergency and the chartering of transport ships in case Of emer- gency

  Rumor of an Understanding on Cuba Between Spain and z
 Francex

MADRID, March 3.-The greatest activity is displayed in the government navy yards and every precaution pos sible is being made by the naval and military forces for the most serious even'tualities.
 The Imparcial today declares that the utterances of the United States senate consist of an unqualified and unreasonable provocation, adding: of the desire for war was in response to any fault committed by Spain, the senators would be accomplishing their duty; but no provocation has been given to the United States, and Americans judge rashly of the results of a Spanish-American war. The distasteful language of the senate ought not to surprise any one. United States senators are accustomed to ex- change gross insults without crossing swords or exchanging balls. These are towards who are seeking war, and one awaits death with more coolness with a good conscience than with pockets filled with dollars"
 In conclusion The Imparcial coun- sels Spaniards to reserve their strength and energies for an opportune moment.
 El Liberal says it is impossible to compare the recognition of secession isas with that of the Cubans and ex- blaming this assertion, remarks: "The American warmly congratulated Spain as a noble and honest friend. Can we do tho como to thu canatn and Drnci- dent Cleveland?"
