form of autonomy.
'Third, that if the Cubans do not
heed his advice Spain will be given
more time without interference from
the United States.
Fourth, the president says that he

THE GREAT BULK
Of Losses in the London Fire viii Fell
on the American Companies.
Only Two Firemen Were Slightly Hurt
During the Work of distinguishing the
Flames--Au Historical Treasures of
Cripple Gate Church Were Saved.

LONDON, Nov. GA number of fire
engines are still playing upon the
smoldering ruins which mark the scene
of the great conflagration near the
general post Office Friday. Walls are
falling every now and then.
1t is impossible to accurately esti-
mate the damage done, but the direct
loss will probably be below $40, 900, ,OOO
Consols nd India three-per-cents
have fallen heavily on the belief that
the losses will necessitate heavy sales
by insurance companies and most of
the insurance companies shares have
dropped 10 to 80 shillings.
The Evening Standard, in its finan-
cial article, Saturday afternoon says it
is believed that the bulk of the fire
losses will fall upon American insur.
ance companies.
The last flames disappeared by II
o'clock Saturday morning, but as this
message is forwarded water is still be-
ing poured upon the red-hot masses of
ruins. The burned district is sur.
rounded by enormous crowds of peo-
pie and the railroads are running
excursions from the country.
In spite of the magnitude of the dis
aster, only two firemen were slightly
injured during the work of extinguish-
ing the flames.
About three hundred firms are seek.
ing for new offices. The estimates Of
the amount of damage done range
from $40, ,OOO,O 900 to $50, 1000, 900, but ac-
cording to the best opinion the loss is
about $10,O0O,OOO.
The official report says the cause of
the fire is unknown.
A large number of warehouses from
five to six stories high have been
burned and have partly fallen, the
whole covering an area of 200 by 15O
yards, bounded by N,choll square, Ed
munds place, Jewin crescent, Aus.
tralian avenue, Paul's alley and Red
Cross street.
The insurance agents take an op.
timistic view of the.losses, their esti.
mates ranging from $500, 900 to $4,000.
600. 1t is q fact that dozens Of burned
out firms were not insured, in some
cases because they were considered to
be undesirable customers and in 9TH
ers because the locality has long been
considered dangerous by the insurance
companies. The latter assert that the
sensational reports regarding the
losses have been promoted on the stock
exchange in order to influence stocks
