COSTLY CONFEDERATION.
Destruction of n Portion of the semet-soi-
way Compsny's By-Product Plant At
Ensley City, Ala. One Life Lost.

birmingham. Ala. Dec. 29.-Between
] and a. m. the night Waterman at
the Semet-Solvay company's by-prod-
uct plant at Ensley City, six miles
from Birmingham, discovered fire rag
ing in the oil house. An alarm was
sounded, but the flames spread very
rapidly, and soon the main building
and chemical works of the plant were
in flames, and burned down quickly.
One hundred and twenty-five coke
ovens escaped destruction. but the
principal buildings of the plant were
destroyed. causing loss estimated at
between $150,000 and $4,000, with no
insurance. Otto Aust. one of the
workmen, who had gone on high
trestle between the coke ovens and
the main plant TO connect water
hose. lost his life. The trestle burned
down behind him, and he fell off into
the flames. Clarence Rust. another
employee, was badly burned. The
plant cost S500,000 and began opera
tions last summer. Its owners reside
IL Syracuse, y. Y. The cause of the
fire is not known. 1t is understood
that the burned buildings will be re-
placed at an early date.

OF the war department as to what has
taken place at Iloilo. 1t appears that
the American forces had arrived too
late on the scene, and that the insur-

problem already presented by hosting
their flag over the city which they
had been besieging for months.
