DANGEROUS FIRE IN THE HOLD.
An Exciting Experience on the Blockade
ing Tu: Uncas.

Key West, Fla, Aug. l0.--The tug In
cas-, commanded by Lieut.. +. r. Brainard,
rG.utacd here to-day after another fort
night of blockade duty on the north Cuban
coast. On this trip the Uncas put ashore
another filibusterlng expedition for Co
mcz, and mad a dangerous fire in her own
hold just above the magazines. In spite
of all this she looked none the worse when
she steamed into Key West harbor to-day
for more coal and provisions.
When the Uncas left here two weeks ago
she carried Capt. Stable of Gomez's staff
with six other Cuhans and five hundred
Remington carhines and ammunition for
the insurgent commanders forces. The
next morning an overturned cook stove in
the forecastle started a fire. The Uncas
was then only two or three miles off Ha-
vana and as the flames ragged fiercely for
Il few minutes well directed shell from
any Of the land batteries would have sent
her to the bottom. Those on board me
lncas could see the troops of Spaniards
about the guns ashore but no deadly mes
senGers came their way and after the fire
| had been eXtingulshed by chopping away
the woodwork, the tug proceeded to Cay
| Coniitcs. near Cabarien, where she put
her little Cuban party ashore without en-
countering Il Spaniard.

GOV. BLACK INTERFERES.
Wants the Now York Volunteers Sent to
Northern Points

Albany N Y, Aug. 10.-Gov. Black to-
day directed Adjutant General TillinEhast
to go to Washington for the purpose of
making a personal and urgent request
that the New York State troops in the
Southern camps be moved north so that
they can rccuperate inshealth. Gen. TIL
linghast left for Washington tonight. The
governor has taken this action because Of
the many individual requests that have
been made to him to have the troops
moved North especially from Fcrnandino
because of climatic conditions, which ac-
cording to letters from that place, have
so weakened the troops that they are in
no condition to take the field in active or
garrison service Gov Black believes that
during the cessation of hostlities which
Is near at hand, it is not necessary to
keep the troops at Fernandino, and that
they should be moved North, where they
can regain their strength. Few If amy
complaints have come to the governor Of
the climate affecting the troops at Chick
amauGa or Camp Algcr.
The governor, through Gen. Tillnghast Is
not going to ask the President or the war
department to move the troops back to
camps In this State, although such action
would be most preferable, but he is simply
going to request that the troops be moved
to some Northern point.

Washington, Aug. 1O.-The preliminary
negotiations looking toward the coniirma-
tloE or peace advanced long strlde TO-
day when the secretary OF state ana the
French Ambassador agreed upon the
terms unon which future negotiations Tor
a treaty are to be conducted and reduced
these to the form OF protocol. rms pro-
tocol II Is true II Is yet TO be signed ana
is to be submitted to the Spanish govern
ment before the formal signatures are al
hNcd but the administrators view as TO
the progress MADE to-day was set out IN
Secretary Days remark:-
1T Is expected that this protocol Will
be executed
There is always possibility in dealing
Win the spanish government tnat IL may
recede at the last moment from an implied
agreement but 1t Is scarcely probable that
1t would be WILLING to Involve the french
Ambassador in the difhculties that would
follow what TO me world would seem 10

AS TO the character or the protocol II
can be stated on authority that the terms
are in all practical points those set out IN
the abstract OF the PRESIDENTS conditions
published from the White House week
ago. From this fact, it Is deduced that the
| extra conditions or qualifications sought
to be imposed by the Spanish government
were abandoned at least In large part by
the French Ambassador. This deduction
/ Is supported by the circumstances that in
/ the early morning and before the confer
encc between secretary Day and Nj. cam
bon which resulted in the agreement,
there was prevalent impression, based
/ upon the utterances OF public men who
had talked with the president tnat the
Spanish answer was unsatisfactory and
that the negotitions looked as II they
might terminate suddenly. AS this situa-
ttor changed so suddenly after the confer
encc, 1t may be fairly assumed that the
Ambassador abandoned the conditions
which the President was reputed to have
regarded as unsatisfactory. 1t is believed
that the protocol carries within itself pro-
vision for the cessation of hostilities. Or
this point the naval contingent is urgent
that our government adopt the policy OF
refusing to enterinto an armistice with
ont acquiring some substantial pledge &c
secure the consummation of peace Wha1
they particularly desire is that our gov
ernment shall demand as a condition o
the cessation of hostilities, the surrender
to the United States military forces o
