FOUR CHILDREN ARE
SAID TO BE BURNED.
The Building Was Covered
With Tar Paper, and Was
a Mass of Flames in a
Very Few Moments.

PADUCAH, KY, July 23.-The Cas-
ino, summer theater at Ramona
park, was burned tonight at 10 o'clock.
A performance was being given to
about 900 people when the fire broke
out from a fireworks display on the
stage. The audience was panic strick-
en-. Probably over 100 persons were in
jured by being burned or trampled.
Several Of the actors were painfully
burned. The building was covered
with tar paper, and was a mass of
flames inside Of a minute It is re-
ported that three or four children per-
1shed in the flames, but this cannot be
verified. All the doctors in the citv
were required to look after the injured
Col. Reuben Rowland and his wife were
seriously injured in the stampede.
The theater was a one-story frame
structure 300 feet in length. Bournes
theatrical company had been playing
a seasons engagement in the building
in the Streets Of New York" The
fire originated on the stage in the third
act while showing the street fire scene.
The theater building was covered with
tar paper board. The flames spread
to the roof, which was instantly in a.
blaze. The crowd in the theater be-
came panic-stricken, women and chill
dren being trampled upon in the mad
rush for the exits. AS near as can be
ascertained tonight fifty persons, in
Guiding men, women and children,
were burned about the face and hands
and 100 were crippled

Flattering Report of the Sue
cess of the Insurgents.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 23.-
Gen. Emilio Nunez arrived from Key
West today. Asked with regard to the
reports that the insurgent cause is
weakening, Gen. Nunez said: The
revolution in Cuba is stronger now than
ever before and Spain will be COM
PEELED to leave the island soon if the
Canovas government does not strike
q decisive blow. I have seen recent
letter. from all of The Cuban .oop.
manders in the field and each of them
speaks of the early success of the revo-
luton From Pinar del Rio, where our
forces suffered more severely than in
any other place on the island, Gen.
Fuccassy writes as follows. The
Spanish government is endeavoring to
create the impression that this prov
ince is pacifed, but recently we have
had several engagements with the
Spaniards. We have held our positions
while they have been compelled to re-
treat with heavy losses. We have a
total of 5000 well drilled and we'll dis
ctplined men in this province and all
are in high spirits and loyal to the
cause
writes to me giving assurance that
the Spaniards in that province are
weaker than ever before and this sum-
mer's campaign will be the last before
We shall achieve our independence. I
have a statement of the condition OF
the forces at Matanzas province which
was given me by Gen. Avelina Rosas,
commander of the Cuban forces of that
province, showing that the forces there
are in better condition today than ever
before"

Half=MilliOn Fire.
The Drake Estate, of st. Paul.
the Heaviest Loser.

PEORIA, Ill, July 23.-The main
building of the Peoria Grape Sugar
company was completely destroyed by
fire this evening. The loss is $500 900;
insurance, 100000. Negotiations have
been in progress for some time for
the transfer of the company to the new
glucose trust, but it is not known here
whether the deal had progressed so far
that the loss falls on the combine or
the original company. The works are
owned by a corporation in which the
Drake estate, at st. Paul, is the prin-
cipal stockholder, with A. M Drake as
president; Levi Mayor, of Chicago vice
president, and Samuel Woolner, of Pc
oria, secretary and treasurer.
The fire broke out at o'clock In the
sulphur room, apparently with an ex-
plosion. The factory shut down Sun
day because of the coal famine, and
only enough steam was made to keep
up the fire pressure. The sprinkler
system worked promptly but the eX-
plosion had filed the basement with
flames and nothing could be done to
stop 1t. The immense eight-story build
ing was a mass of flames in five min
utes and was completely destroyed, the
walls soon falling in. The dry storage
house and warehouse across the rail-
road tracks were saved. The works
employed 400 men and used $4,000 BUSH
els of corn a day. They will be re-
built as soon as possible.

Efforts of the Arbitration Commits
sion Premise Results.
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 23-The sit
uation in this district has not material
ly changed today. The efforts of the
arbitration commission have been so
far successful that a call for a meet
ing of operators on Tuesday next has
been issued. 1t is signed by w. T.
pearmitt, for the New York & Cleve-
land Gas Coal company; J. B. Zerbe,
for the Ohio & Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany; E-szE. Young, for M. A. Hanna
& Co; George w. Schlendeberg,
for the q. L. Robbins company and
other leading operators of the district.
TheSe names to the notice of a meet
ing is sufficient guarantee of the sue
cess of the gathering in point of at,
tendance. w. P. Rend will also be
asked to sanction the signing of his
name to the call. He is now in Chi
cagO.
The Canonsburg region has pro-
duced no sensational features today.
The striking miners are still encamp-
ed near the Allison and Boone mines
to persuade workers from going to
work, but as the hearing in the in
junction case was postponed from this
afternoon until Monday, there is little
danger of any conflict at present, be-
cause the mine owners have announced
down until after the hearing
AS far as the injunction is concern
ed the strikers claim that it will have
no effect as it restrains them from what
they have no intention Of doing. They
say that they will molest no one; that
they are content to wage a battle of
peace and order and that. as they have
public sentiment on their side, they
are bound to win. Should the injunc-
ton be made perpetual, the operators,
it is surmised, will make an attempt
to resume work. If they do there will
be trouble as long as there are any
strikers in the vicinity of the mines.
There are vague rumors of a march
on the mines of the New York & Cleve-
land Gas Coal company. The Turtle
creek, Sand creek and Plum creek
mines are working steadily and with
out interference The employees claim
that they will pay no attention to the
strikers and want to be left alone. On
the other hand the miners officials
claim that their organizers, who have
been at work in secret, have laid ,he
foundation for a general laying down
OF tools when the proper time ar
r1ves. Much depends on the situation
In west Virginia. If that section comes
out the New York & Cleveland mines
Will naturally be the pivotal point.
