NOTICE
TO THE POWERS.
Special to EVENING HERALD.


Washington, July 25.-Commodore Wat
sons Eastern squadron was under orders to
sail for the Spanish coast, but certain develop
ments within the past two or three days
postponed the sailing of Watson
The German Ambassador at Washington
called on President Mckinley on Friday and
assured him of the intention of the German
government to remain strictly neutral, and as
a result of this the naval and army authori-
ties decided to abandon the idea of sending a
man-Of.war and cruiser from Watson's squad
ron to aid Dewey at Manila.
The government, however, has not by any
means abandoned the sending of Watson and
strong fleet to SPANS coast. On the other
hand, it was given out by the department to-
day, that informal notice has been served on
the Powers that Commodore Watson S
squadron will surely sail unless Spain sues
for peace, and that within very short time.
This is the reason for the delay of the
squadron
The authorities say that the political situ-
alton in Europe is more favorable to the
United States, and no Power will likely in
terfere with the operations of Watson's ships.
Its first object will be to destroy Spain's re-
naming fleet and with that accomplished it
is believed the Madrid government will
quickly sue for peace

FIRE ON MAYO STREET.

The alarm from box 81 about o'clock
yesterday afternoon, was caused by flames
bursting out through the roof of the two
and a half wooden dwelling at No. II
Mayo street. the fourth house from Cum
berlaud, on the right hand side. A man
told the PRESS reporter that he walked
BY the house about five minutes before
the alarm was given and there was
then no signs of fire. When the Chemical
arrived it took but few minutes before
a ladder was raised to the attic window
and O'Rourke of the Chemical had brok-
en- the window and gone into the house
followed by several of the firemen.
How the fire caught is not known.
Some said that lamp exploded in the
attic. However it was caused, it got a
good headway in the roof, which was bad
ly burned, and the house itself was well
wet down.
The upper story, or attic, was occupied
by Mrs McAfee, and her little boy.
Mrs. McAfee was hanging out clothes
when the fire broke out, and her little
boy was upstairs in the house. She
marched up and got him out. Mr.. Jensen,
who is teamster for S. W. Thaxter &
Co., occupied the second story. He had
moved in but few weeks ago, and near
ly furnished his tenement. MIR. B. O..
Brown had the first story. Considerable
of the furniture of the tenants was got
out, but good deal was we'll wet down.
We could not learn that any of them
had any insurance.
MIR. John T. Pagan owns the house,
which is probably insured. The house
will require considerable repair, as not
only is the roof badly damaged, but the
plastering is soaked. The house may be
damaged to the extent of thousand
dollars and perhaps less.
The fire drew an immense crowd of peo-
pie. There was good force of police on
hand and they kept the crowd back out
of danger.
1t was feared that Mrs. McAfee's little
boy had suffered some injury from burns
and smoke Several of the firemen were
somewhat burned, although nothing OF
