FIRE AT PITTSBURG.
The Costly Casino Building In ScheIey
Park Burned.

PITTSBURG tPa), Dec. 1.-THE
beautiful and costly Casino building in
Scheley Park was destroyed by fire
early this morning.
The flames originated from the burst
ing of the large ammonia cylinder ice
machine of the skating rink. The loss
is estimated at 100000.
The explosion occurred at 2:15 a. m.
The fire department responded promptly
to the alarm, but considerable time was
lost getting effective streams on the
building on account of a deep hollow
which extends along the side where the
fire started.
By O'Clock the whole structure was
burning and made grand sight.
The Casino cost 100000 and the
equipment more than 100000 more.
The burned building was insured for
$4,000 and there was small insurance
on the contents.

SOUTHERN HARBOR.
The Federal Commissioners Pay a
Visit to Santa Monica.

LOS ANGELES, Dec 1.-THE Fed
eral Harbor Board left this morning to
inspect Santa Monica to ascertain it's
advantages as the place for the harbor
for Southern California The Commits
sioners are being piloted around by En-
gineers Corthell and Hood of the South
ern Pacific Company, while Engineer
Moore, who built the ST. Louis suspen-
sion bridge, is looking after the inter
ests of the Terminal Railway Company.
The Commissioners returned this
evening from their inspection of Santa
Monica harbor. They boarded a steam
er and made soundings at various
points in the bay, confirming statistics
made by former commissions years ago
and by the Southern Pacific Company's
engineers.
Admiral Walker. Chairman of the
board, refused to express his likes or dis
likes of the harbor, but it was intimated
by another member of the commission
that the only objection SO far met with
is the question of expense, claiming that
1t would take larger appropriations for
Santa Monica than it would for San
Pedro. Admiral Walker, however, did
find words to comment favorably on the
mammoth railroad wharf, saying it was
one of the best in the world. The Com
missioners are extremely reticent, and
absolutely refuse to express an opinion
either way, so far as acceptance of
site is concerned
Favorites of both harbors are pre-
pairing for presenting arguments and
statistics next Monday and so great is
the interest in the matter that Chair
man Walker announced tonight that
another place than the Chamber of Com
merce would have to be selected to hold
public meetings. Arrangements are
being made for the largest hall in the
city to accommodate the spectators.
Sensational rumors are current to-
night that some unexpected claims will
be put forward by friends of San Pedro,
for which the Terminal and Santa Fe
roads are fighting in opposition to the
Southern Pacific. The reports are prob
ably due to the unheralded arrival of
Engineer Robert Moore of ST. Louis,
who comes in the interest of San Pedro.
The Commissioners will tomorrow in
spect San Pedro.

British Comment on the Recognition of
Cuban Insurgents.
LONDON, Feb. 29.-The Cuban reso-
lutions of the United States Senate
have had a mixed reception here
There has been considerable feeling in.
favor of Cuban home rule, although
many distinguished personages and in
f1uential organs are afraid to advocate
it for fear of reawakening the ap-
parently slumbering agitation of Ire
land. The Echo, however, comes out
iatfooted on the subject, and says:
"The resolution will be warmly ap-
proved by civilized mankind. There
is not shadow ofdoubt that President
Cleveland will promptly act in accord
ance. For more than a year Cuba has
been hell on earth, and the Spaniard
and Turk are on a par, SO far as
atrocities are concerned. y"
The Globe says: "The senate reso-
luton is another gigantic enlargement
of the Monroe doctrine, and should the
house of representatives indorse the
senate's resolution, and President
Cleveland yield to the pressure, Spain
will be brought face to face with
abject submission or war with q
somewhat stronger power. Should
the proud, sensitive Spanish nation
prefer the latter sooner than sacrifice
its honor, international sympathies
will be on its side" -5

| WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-The first
presidential veto of this session of con-
gress was overridden by the house to-
day by vote of 200 to 38, 122 more
than the requisite constitutional two
thirds. All the republicans and 81
democrats voted for the bill, while the
votes to sustain the president were all
cast by democrats. The bill authorizes
the governor and local authorities of
Arizona to lease the school lands of
the territory for educational purposes
The presidents objection to the bill
was that it did not give the secretary
of the interior power to disapprove the
leases, and did not throw proper safe
guards about the timber on the lands.
The statement was made on the floor
that the bill was identical with SIM
liar bill passed by the last congress to
Oklahoma territory at the request of
the secretary of the interior, and that
the bill had received the written ap-
proval of both Secretary Smith and the
commissioner of the general land Office.
The statement was also made that the
lands proposed to be leased were now
in possession of cattlemen and others,
rent free,

."Just = Little Longer" |"

The attention, of Colonel ]. G. Day,
the Cascade Locks contractor, who
was in the city yesterday, was called
to the complaints Of The Dslles papers,
reprinted in yesterdays Oregonian,
that the locks were not opened for
traffic on March 1, the promised day.
Colonel Day thinks The Dslles news
papers are little too impatient. The
work at the Cascades is stupenduons,
and has been carried forward In the
face Of many obstacles, but, - it is,
construction is all but finished, and
the contract will be entirely completed
in the course of several weeks. If It
should be decided to construct retain
ing walls for the middle lock, o month
will probably be occupied In this work.
The. construction of these retaining
walls was recommended by Colonel
Day in letter to Senator Mitchell,
and by him referred to General Casey,
at the herd Of the governments corps OF
engineers. The matter was referred
by General Casey back to the local en-
gineers. in charge of construction at
the Cascades, and has by them been re-
favorably. Action by the
authorities Is now awaited.

Takes Exceptions to the Action Congress

LONDON, Feb. 29.-The newspapers
of Madrid are getting very wrathy at
the action of the United States senate,
and the evening papers of that city ex-
press themselves in even more violent
language than their morning contem-
poraries. They say that, apart from
the resolution, the language used dur
ing the debate in the senate has made
painful impression. 1t is ayerred
that the allegations of the senators
are wholly false, and the insurgents
have no organization, are not masters
of a single town, and, as for their con-
duct, it is asserted they have massa-
cred the helpless and pillaged 'planta-
tions and railways. On the other hand,
it is maintained that the Spaniards
have respected all prisoners, and to
call them barbaians is regarded as an
unprovoked and unjustifable insult.
Imparcial referring to the action of
the United States regarding Cuba, says
the international situation is very
grave, and the recognition of the Gu
bans as belligerents by the United
States involves the danger of conflict.
Imparcial also accuses the Spanish pre-
mier, Senior Canovas del Castillo, of an
excess ofpatience before Yankee pride.
"Spain," continues Imparcial,
"Must prepare for every eventuality.
Our maritime resources are not great,
but we have not before us a gigantic
naval power. Our humility has been
badly construed, and our enemy, in
stead of being appeased, thinks she
could treat Spain as she could Turkey.

have gained US more consideration,
for we are not 80 weak as to render

| WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The senate
galleries were well filled today in an
ticipation of the elimination of the
Cuban debate, the final vote being set
for 4 o'clock. Lindsey of Kentucky
addressed the senate on the Cuban res
olutiou. He declared that if the
United States intends taking any steps
that will avail these struggling Cubans,
those steps should be in the direction
of ultimate independence of Cuba.
At 1:15 Sherman began his speech,
closing the debate. He said he felt the
| time had come when the United States
must intervene in putting stop to a
crime almost beyond description. He
| did'nCt favor Cuba's annexation to the
United States but strongly favored an
nexation to Mexico, a kindred people.
Gallinger followed Sherman with a
strong appeal for recognition of Cuban
independence.
At 3:55 Cameron Offered his resolu-
tion for Cuban independence as an
amedment to the committees resolu-
ton. Sherman accepted the amend
ment. At o'clock White offered his
amendment to the Cuban resolution.
The amendment expressed the sympa-
thy OF the United States with the Gu
ban cause and expressed an opinion
that the executive should recognize
Cuban belligerency.
Sherman moved to lay it on the
table. Sherman s motion carried; ayes
