The city elections in Colorado this
spring were almost entirely devoid of
politics. The only notable political
victories were that the republicans
defeated the populists in Leadville,
and the middle of the road populists
beat the new silver party out of sight

The reopening of telegraphic commu-
njcation with the region of Pinar del
Rio shows that the Cuban insurgents
had reduced ID towns in that province
to ashes, and their inhabitants were
wandering helpless over the country,
E,any of them starving.
The ministry of Italy announced it's
resignation and Premier Crispi added
that it had been accepted by the king.
The Corean king went. into the Rus.
sian legation at Seoul and formed

Humbert had declared that he would
rather abdicate the throne of Italy than
to abandon the Italian province of
Erythrea, in Africa.
Col. Vozhak, Russian military agent
to China, confirmed the report that the
queen of Corea is alive.
There were renewed demonstrations
of hostility to the United States ut
Valencia, Dolores and Alicante, in
Spain. The prime minister announced
that all hostile demonstrat tons against
America would be suppressed, and he
hoped means would be found to avoid
alternating the friendly relations with
the United States, while at the same
time he could not admit that the slight
est ground existed for the recognition
Of the belligerency of the Cuban insur-
gents.
Dispatches from Havana say that
majority of Cuban merchants have
agreed to boycott the products of the
United States.
The actions of the mob element in
Valencia, Spain, became so threatening
that martial law was proclaimed. The
mob marched through the streets shout

The large residence of Mr.. Jas. A.
Radford, on the GAINESVILLE pike, 6
miles from town, was burned Tuesday
night about midnight. A neighbor
who was passing discovered the roof
on fire and upon going to the house
to give the alarm found nobody at
home, He then aroused the servants
in the cabins, but. nearly everything
in the house was burned. Mr. Rad
ford, who kept bachelors hail." was
in town and was sent for in hot haste,
but the house was entirely destroyed
when he got home.
His sisters were preparing to move
out to his house the next day to live
with him and he was in town helping
them to make their arrangements. He
has no idea how the fire originated.
As it was discovered in the roof it
probably caught from CRATE or hue.
The house was the Radford home
stead, inherited by Mr.. Radford from
his father, the late w. T. Radford.
1t was large old fashioned country
mansion, frame building two stories
high. 1t was insured for $500 and
$500 on the contents. Many boxes
and trunks of wearing apparel and
other valuable property belonging to
Misses Mary and Willie Radford,
stored in the house when they moved
to the city with their mother last fall,
were destroyed, together with all of
the furniture and other effects not
moved. The loss is considerably in
excess of the insurance, as the com.
panies will only issue three quarter
policies. Mr. Mr.. Rsaadforaa will rebuild at
once. as he is left without residence
until he can put up one.
