the establishment Of such banks in this

COSTLY CONFEDERATION.
Fire at Washington Destroys Nearly ST.
100000 Worth of Property.

Washington, Oct 1.-Firemen were
st!ll playing on the ruins OF the i'm
mense central power station of the Cap
ital Traction company at 10 o'clock
Thursday morning. Nothing remains of
the massive siX-story structure save
part Of two walls Of the building. The
fire was one Of the largest ever known
in Washington and nothing approaching
from a spectacular point of view ever
has been seen I'm this city, where large
fires are rare occurrences. The exact
cause Of the fire remains unknown,
though IL has been established that ii
broke out in Gettinger's printing office
on the second floor. The amount of the
less had not been computed with APP
proXimate accuracy Thursday morning,
but il is roughly estimated that il will
exceed S750000 and that the loss of the
Capital Traction company will be $780,
600 or more. of which $3.50, 900 was caused
by the destruction of the building and
the remainder by loss OF machinery and
equipment. The company carried in the
neighborhood Of $500. 600 insurance in
local and out of town companies.
The Liverpool, London and Globe, the
Firemen's of Newark, n. j., and the
Home Fire Insurance company of New
York, carried large share OF the insur-
ance. 1t IS the purpose of the Traction
company to begin at once the erection
of another power house building, and as
soon as possible will reopen its rapid
transit system. Horse cars were put in
| service again Thursday and the depart
| ment clerks and business men along the
| company's lines were carried to work
| behind mules and horses hastily gath
cred for the purpose. The loss to the
! firms having quarters in the power
| house building will aggregate upwards
| Of $150.000 The Lancton Monotype COM
| pany lost $4,000 or more. principally
| machines and tools. The fire will throw
| thirty of its employees out of work. The
! Southern Railway company had several
offices in the building, and while its

siderable time to replace the drawings

the effect that an important communi-

government from the leaders of the Gu
ban insurgents, suggesting the basis of
a possible settlement of the Cuban diff

The crisis brought about by the resig-
nation of the ministry Wednesday has
created great uneasiness throughout
Spain, and il is feared that in addition
to the complications that will arise in
organizing a new cabinet the Carlsts
will take advantage of the situation to
increase the following Of the pretender
and to strike a serious blow to the gov

| lgnation and announced her intention
of consulting Sagasta, the leaders of

moned to Madrid.

Her majesty's action is the founda-
ton upon which the consensus Of opin-
ion rests, that Sagasta, the Liberal

to organize a new cabinet. Before Of

| Ascarraga held conferences with Eldu-
ayen president of the senate. and the

nce would be TO give further oppcrtun-
lty for fulfilling the promise Of paciiica-
