Washington, December 19.-The House
committee on military affairs held an ex.
ecutive sesson today to begin considera-
tton of the bill to increase and reorganize

made and although sharp opposition was
encountered to some Of the provisions of
the Hull bill, the committee got beyond

ectio1s are considered settled. The vote

MAY BIZ CLUE TO PORTLAND
Breaking Of inglo.imerican Gable
Day Of Great Storm.
END HAS BEEN FOUND SEVEN
MILES OFF PEAKED HILL BAR.

Work of Getting Out In Shore End De-
1ayed Until Today--steamer Mimic
Engaged i'm Work--Break in Cable
Work of Some Vessel and Might
Have Been Portland.
Boston, December 19.-Ths breaking Of
the Anglo Amerioan cable during the
forenoon of November 9th. the day Of the
great storm which break has since been
located seven miles off Peaked Hill bar,
Cape Cod, is regarded as another clue as
to the location of the wreck Of the ILL
fatsd steamer Portland. The able steamer
Nina picked up the of shore END ss the
break this afternoon and after puoying il
left the work Of getting the snshaa- end
of the cable. and splicing the two rntil
tomorrow. 1t will not therefore, be sur
prising, If, when the steamer finishes her
work, there may be some new deyelope-
ments as to the whezea bouts, off the cape,
of the remains OF the much sought for
steamer.
The point where the off shore end of the
break in the cable is buoyed, is seven
miles, east northeast of Peaked Hill bar,
point at which the majority OF the life
savers and the old sea captains on the
cape seam to agree that the Portland
foundered. The water here is between 80
and 40 fathons in depth and the ebb tide
runs out about one knot faster than tho
flood tide comes in.
The final report of the MiEia is awaited
with considerable interest. for although
she will probably keep strictly to her
vunrk nY rppOvariY1<r and aDIiaiyro the ae f,fa
she will, nevertheless with her dredge go
over the ground fully as carefully as
would any expedition sent out for traces
of the wreck. The Nina is expected in
Boston harbor late tomorrow.
The break In the cable was. undoubted-
~, the work of some vessel. 1t must have
been broken by the sharp blow of some
heavy body, such as the ponderous
machinery of the Portland, althought it
is hardly probable that the machinery at
that time was in motion.
The above theory of the wreck, there
fore, leads to the belief that the steamers
upper works were swept clear of her when
she was q considerable distance OF the
end of the cape and the rest of the hull
after being battered by the gale, at length
plunged beneath the waves seven miles
east northeast of Peaked Hill bar between
nine and ten o'clock Sunday morning
and in striking the bottom hit tho cable
and broke it.
DALLAS SAW NOTHING.
Boston. December f9.-The revenue
Gutter Dallas arrived in the harbor late
this afternoon after long cruise outside
Cape Cod, primarily in search Of traces
of the Portland. Nothing was seen, no "

Williams of the line, sharp lookout was
made for Indications of oil. as IL was
thought that with large amount of 1t

Newport, r. l., December IA fire

We'll, battery A.; Salter, battery A: T.
Power, battery A; j. Flanagan, battery
l; Fl. Clay, battery II, also of the 7th
artillery, received painful burns.
The fire was caused by the explosion, of
a lamp in the southwest wing of the
stables, about $50 o'clock, the flames
igniting some straw spread with great
rapidity. One OF the sentries saw the fire
ard gave the alarm by firing his rife and
in few minutes the entire garrison was
fighting the flames, Captain II. q. Taylor
and his officers directing the work. There
were $50 horses in the stables when the
fire broke out, but by we'll directed work
all were taken out.
While th5 soldiers were doing their ut
most to get the horses out and stop the
further extension of ths fire, gun shed,
fire and almost without warning blew ur,
and the force of it hurled a anumber of the
soldiers high in the air, besides throwing
others to the ground, where they were al
most Immediately covered with burning
timbers. Their comrades succeeded in
hauling the unfortunate men out of the
burning pile. but sullivan was found TO
be dead, his body being horribly burned
and mangled. The explosion also hurled
burning brands on to the roofs OF ether
buildings in the fort. including the Off
GERS quarters on the hills above the
stables, but these small fires were extin-
gulshed except in case OF barn belong
ing TO battery Ii, which was destroyed.
A portion of the fire de artment from the
city went to the assistance of the soldiers
and detail from the training ship also
responded to "a call for help. TIE explosion
in the gnnshed was entirs1y unlocked for
as no powder was known to be there. The
property loss will not be very great.
A search of the ruins after the fire dis
closed the bodies of two soldiers. neither
of which could be identified. An official
inquiry will be made in the morning.
