war Regarded a. inevitable.

VIENNA, April 1.-THE best-informed
diplomats here regard war inevitable.
They say the strain cannot much longer
be borne by either Turkey or Greece, and
that the time has passed for the powers
TO attempt TO intervene. In view of the
dangerous position assumed by Greece, the
question is reiterated. whether. she does
not count upon some power coming to her
support at the crucial moment. The situa-
tion Is regarded here as analogous TO the
time when Servia attacked Turkey, in 1876.
when Russia and Great Britain saved de-

one cake of CUTIcURA SOAP. they were cured

WORK OF INCENDIARIES
SEEMING ATTEMPT TO BURN KANSAS
CITY LAST NIGHT.
Numerous Fires Started. a business
and Other Damage Done.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 15.-Since 3
o'clock last night Kansas City seems to
have been at the mercy of a band of in
cendiarieS. Between 8 O'Clock last night
and o'clock this Thursday morning
seven fires broke out in the very business
center of the city. AT least four. and prob
ably all. of those fires were of in
cendiary origin. While the majority of
the blazes were eXtinguished in their in
cipiency. two of them resulted in heavy
damages. The big five-story Scarritt
block on Walnut street, near Ninth was
destroyed, entailing loss of 100000. and
from this structure the flames spread to an
adjoining structure on Main street, also
owned by the Scarritt estate and occupied
by the Campbell & Eaton Crockery Com
pany. The building Main street was
damaged 10 the extent of $4,000 and the
crockery stock suffered equal damage.
Only by very narrow margin were other
adjoining buildings saved from destruction.
1t was while this dangerous fire rag
ing that the torch was applied in various
other parts of the business district. AT
Twelfth and Walnut streets fire was started
in pile of dry goods boxes in an alley.
AT Twelfth street. and Grand avenue the
torch was applied to excelsior thrust in the
Delaware fire was started i'm the of
the Armour building. Another fire was
started near Loose Brothers cracker manu-
factory at Second and Main streets, and
still another at Hills brewery on the east
bottoms. In several of these fires coal oil
was freely used by the incendiaries.
At 1 o'clock this morning, when the
forces of the Fire Department were scat
tered and possibly somewhat demoralized,
fire discovered, in G. W. Lovejoy's
planning MILL at Fourteenth and Main
streets. The fire had gained such great
Roadway that the building was soon en-
veloped in flames and within short time
the planning mill with all its valuable ma
chinery and big stock of manufactured
lumber, was i'm ruins. The loss is heavy.
block were of incendiary origin there is no
direct proof. but all the indications are
that fire bugs are responsible. Nor are the
fires of tonight the first of the kind re-
Gently. About two weeks ago three fires
were started within two days at Twelfth
and Walnut streets. but all were extin-
guished WITHOUT serious loss.
What could be the motive of the in
cendiaries is purely matter of specula-
ton. but among the excited business men
who are gathered about thef streets in
small groups at 2 o'clock this morning
seriously discussing the situation the opin-
ion is frequently expressed that the
gambler element, which has so long held
full sway in Kansas City and which is now
forced TO quit its operations owing to Il
complete overhauling of police administra-
ton, is at the bottom of the incendiarism
