Picture Was Extremely Brilliant.

-Four streets were blazing on both sides
and the red flames from every point
shone out against the black sky and
through the wide spreading mass Of
dull, leaden smoke, tinged with tongues
OF yellow fire. Here and there, where
the fire had subsidized somewhat, the
street lamps, stripped by the heat of
their burners and glass frames, blazed
with big jets from the open pipes, like
monster danger torches.
There was no abatement of the blaze
before $50 p. m. Then the check came

there.
1t is officially reported that $50 ware
houses have been gutted. A later esti.
mate Of the damage done places the
amount at nearly $4,000 900.

Mslton's wretched Condition.
Probably the most wretched Of the
Competitors crew is Ona Melton, the
newspaper correspondent, whose inten-
tion on going to Cuba was not to par
ticipate in the war but to report the
true situation in that country.
In describing his capture and subse-
quent treatment, Melton said that when
the first shot was fred by the Spanish
gunboat he and two of his companions
lowered small boat and tried to es-
cape. They were pursued and captured
a short distance from the shore. On
board the gunboat they were cruelty
bound with ropes and were prodded
with sharp pointed sticks which pune
tured their flesh. They were after
wards thrown into cell and fed but
once day. After the first six days
the prisoners were permitted to see

Mr. Elmore Rice. the Louis lille violin

inclined toward these masters, II was,
therefore, especially acceptable. For one
so young, Mr.. Rice certainly possesses
remarkable conceptions OF these selec-
tions and interprets them IN scholarly,
mastery style. Owing 20 the rain storm
the hall was but sparselg flied but what
it lacked in size was made up in appre-
citation.
Miss Grandy, as pianist, made a most
favorable impression and was compli
mented very freely on her ability.
The entertainment was given under the
patronage OF number of our leading
people. The second recital will be given
this evening when the program will in
