BIG BLAZE AT CLEVELAND
Eoyt Building and Valuable Contents To-

CLEVELAND. Ohio, February 1.-THE
large Hoyt building. on the northwest cor
rer of St Clair and Bank streets, owned
by the Hoyt estate ard occupied principally
by manufacturers Of clothing. wholesale
hstters ard furriers, caught fire early this
nt rning and was pra actically destroyed,
with contents.
The fire originated in the rear end Of the
building. and was caused by an explosion
Of gasoline. It spread rapidly, and upon
the arrival Of the fire department it was
evident that tie structure could not be
saved. A terrific explosion rent the fourth
floor wall to pieces soon after the fire start
ed. Then the flames started with renewed
fc1ce and ragged with unabated fury until
extinguished at o'clock. The loss is esti-
mated at 1915, 900, which is pretty we'll cov-
cred by insurance. The building cost $780,
COO.
The following are the estimates of losses:

ed by insurance; S. NJ. HeXter & Co.. $50

hinIey had not gone further than their
predecessors and asserted an intention to

certain things the business men in the

consequences Of such doctrines. But since
IL is TOO late TO reverse every step cf the
pohcy that after seventy-five years is

men may now prepare for something else
do not know whether the climax is
coming In weeks months or year. Every
bcdy in power apparently breads it and
would delay the inevitable end. Neyerthe-
less, the end is in sight, and the American
people must soon face the issue whether
Congress and the national administration
stall go forward or go backward. The
tests laid down by President MCKINLEY in
his message for establishing the SUCCESS of
autonomy and Spain's ability to re-estab-
lsh her sovereignty by giving peace TO the
Island cannot be met. The neutral inter-
vention to end the war by imposing a ra-
uonaI compromise is approaching.
Imperial Views.
To some of us who have watched the pro-
gress of events right in the midst of them
1t seems clear, yet the Individual judgment
is sometimes biased. 1 have, therefore,
Sot SHt the impression OF others VINO nave
more recently arrived on the scene Among
them are tobacco buyers, who have been
out in the country. AS a rule, these
Americans do not sympathize with the in
s,rrection. They cry plague on the
houses of both Cubans and Spaniards. But
they judge from what they see l have
not met one of them who could fird the
evidence that Spain was rc-esta plis hing her
sovereignty, or that autonomy was more
than hgmant. A broader view was given
me by man who is accustomed to Judge
OF men and of measures. He came to Cuba
for Special purpose Ii could not afford
10 form mistaken Judgment. His Means
OF information Were exceptionally good
including the representatives, of Spain's $
power and leading autonomists holding
official position. After a Two lays investi-
cation, he threw up his hands: In Gods
name, he said will you tell me whether
there is any one in Havana who thinks
Spain can hold this island?'' l told him the
army still thought so, but not by autonomy
These points may aid the American busi-
ness nen in grasping a situltion TO which
they have seemingly given little thought.
L have sought to present a sober business
view of the conditions. From these the
probabilities can be gathered. In such a
review sentiment is out of place. The rev.
oiutlon must be analyZed in the cold light
OF reason In such an analysis the story of
wretchedness and misery which appeal to
the natural promptIngs of humanity might
unconsciously influence the judgment

INCREASE IN RECEIPTS.
Gratifying Results Coming From the
Din.ley Tariff.

Gratifying Results SOminS from the
Dinsley Tariff.
Assistant Secretary Howell of the Treas
ury Department has under his supervision
the customs division of the government.
He was one of the first to predict that the
Dingley bill would furnish sufficient reve-
nue. to the government before it had been
operating many months. He, therefore,
takes pride in the constant increase which
the customs receipts show.
The total receipts of customs this week
were s4,155, ,766, the largest by many thous-
ands of any week since the Dingley bill
ceipts this week were s692, ,624, the highest
of any week since the Dingley bill went
into operation and for more than a year
before.
The total customs receipts for the first
twelve days of this month. including one
Sunday, are S7,112,392 giving Indication
that the receipts for this month will reach
in the neighborhood of Sl0OOO,0O0. Com
pared with the first twelve days of FeDru-
airy OF last year the showing is splendid,
the receipts for the previous year for the
same time being 81, 1Uo,545.
At the rate of 81, 900 600 month the re-
ceipts, with those from other sources, will
more than equal the expenditures. The
same receipts, with slight increase, would
also aid in reducing the deficit that now
exists
There is now thought to be no possibility
that the coming month will show deficit
A surplus is expected, with surplus on
the following months.
MIR. Howell today gave out figures show
ing that the importations of sugar far
amount to comparatively little. With aver
age sugar importations the customs re-
ceipts would be much larger than al pres
ent, and so soon as these importations
reach the regular stage there is no telling
how much the customs receipts will amount
TO. In January last 9S 932, ZIG pounds of
sugar were received, against 194, ,527, ,45S
pounds in January, 1897 and 247, ,S59, ,62S
pounds in January, 1896.
