Japan and Spain Have
Made an Agreement.
Want to Keep Hawaii and
Cuba From This Country.
Annexation OF Either Will Probably
Be Followed by War.

London. July 16.-A dispatch from
Paris 10 a news agency here says that
investigation at the American embassy
there has elected a confirmation OF the
rumor that the governments of Spain
and Japan have arranged an offensive
alliance against the United States.
The terms of the understanding. which
is for the mutual protection of Cuba and
Hawaii. provide that in the event OF an
actively aggressive movement on the
part OF the United States tending toward
interference in Cuban affairs or per-
sistence in the annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands, both Spain and Japan
shall declare war simultaneously against
the United States. and shall make hos
tile demonstrations along both the At

INCREASED SUGAR IMPORTS.

Boston. July 16.-Statistics furnished
by the Boston custom house with regard
To the importation Of sugar at this port
show that. If the same rate of increase
for the first six months Of this year over
last year should be maintained until tho
close Of the 18th month, the amount of
sugar imported would be half as much
again as II was In 1896. Last year 403.-
014.s27 pounds cf sugar were imported,
while for the first six months OF this
year 32s. 465Sli pounds were imported.
Undoubtedly some part of this heavy
importation has been due TO the prospect
OF an advance In the tariff rates. But
il is claimed that the importation OF
sugar is generally heavier up TO this
time of the year owing to the fact that
the consumption OF sugar is larger in
sumper. as so much Is used on fruit and
I'm cooling drinks, and fruit preserves,
etc.

HOTTEST IN TEN YEARS.
Hyde Park Has Quite Fire and Calls
For Outside Assistance.


Hyde Park Mass. July 16.-The hot

from $4,000 to $4,000. The fire started

were sounded, and assistance was asked
from Milton. which sent a steamer, hose
and truck and from Boston which sent
two steamers and combination wagon
from the Dorchester station.
In the Chaddock stable there were
some 65 horses and 100 carriages, sleighs.
etc, all the horses being saved, together
with most Of the vehicles. The building.
which was owned by William b. Ryan Of
Boston, was totally burned. The fire
spread TO Isaac l.. Ryans stable adjoin-
ing. and a building occupied by Walter

Noyes e. Elliot, carpenters, and soon
they were both burned TO the ground.
Then the flames leaped across the street

as dwelling and on the lower floor by a
blacksmith shop.
The roof OF this building was burned
off and the wind sent a shower OF sparks
down upon the rev OF about n dozen
houses along Pierce street, several of
which were on fire at one time. The
losses TO these houses. however. are
very slight. Bucket brigades were I'm
provised and stationed upon the roofs OF
nearly all the buildings endangered, and
the men thus employed did most effec-
tive work in saving property. Eight
men were engaged with buckets on the
roof OF Mahoney's express building, adj

them fell 10 the ground, breaking his
wrist and sustaining other slight injur-
les. In his fall he dropped his bucket
