latest dispatches from Washington. It IS
not expected that more than two divisions

WAR TARIFF FOR SANTIAGO.
Vessels With Supplies May Now Be
Cleared for the Fort

Cleared Tor the fOrt.
Washington, July 1S.-The President has
signed the war tariff for Santiago and it
takes effect tomorrow.
1t adopts in general the privileged rates
now given Spain there, and makes that
tariff uniform for all countries including
the United States.
The following telegram has been sent to
the principal collectors along the Atlantic
coast:
You may clear American or neutral
vessels with supplies and provisions for
Santiago de Cuba"
The dispatch was sent by the treasury
department..
The tariff was signed by President Nc
kinley after a brief conference late this
afternoon with Secretaries Gage and Al
ger.
The Instructions were Immediately ca
b1ed TO the authorities in charge of San
tiago by Secretary Alger, so that the tariff
can be put in force tomorrow morning.
The new tariff abolishes the discrimna-
tive tariff now In operation there, the rates
of different countries at Cuban ports vary
ing. This country took as its basis the
rate accorded products of Spain and ap-
piled them to all countries, not even ex-
cepting the United States.
The most important change effected is
reduction of che tonnage duty on ships
carrying 1900 tons or more, which go in
and out of the port from the present rate
of 81 a ton to rate of 20 cents per ton.
This Old prohibitive tonnage tax under
the Spanish custom has been additional to
the customs duties and in contrast to the
D-cent rate declared for Santiago is our
own tonnage of 3 cents, and that of most
other countries of three or four times that
much. The heavy export duty on tobacco
and certain other Cuban products and the
5-cent export tax on iron are retained for
awhile, at least.

SPAIN SLOW TO SUE.

Necessity of Ending the War Uni
versaIIy Admitted.
London, July 19.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times says: capt. Gen.
Blanco and Gen. Toral were given a free
hand in the surrender of Santiago, as the
government did not desire to expose itself
to such criticism as followed the destruc-
ton of Admiral Cervera's squadron, when
it was alleged that the government order
ed Admiral Cervera to quit the bay.
'The necessity of making peace is now
universally admitted, and the necessity of
making it quickly is generally realized,
and, partly owing to Senor Sagastas in
decision. apparently nothing definite is be-
ing done by the government, which seems
in no hurry to make proposals."

AN AWFUL HOLOCAUST
Six Members of One Family Perish
by Fire.
And Possibly a seventh May DIe-The Dead
Father Found with n Child Ia Hts
A~rms-BrOther and Sister In y
Close Embrace.

New YORK. Jan. Six members OF
one family were killed by flames and
| smoke in a fire that occurred early yes
terday morning in Jersey City. The
dead are:
Adolph Reich, ~ years old, the fa-
ther.
Emma Reich, ~ years old, mother.
Title Reich, % years old.
Ida Reich, Is years.
Albert Reich, IA years.
Gustave Reich, eight years.
Several others were injured, aud it
may be that another member of the i'll
fated family will die. He is the 10
year-old son, and his body is covered
with burns.
John Conway, chief of the Jersey
City fire department, was badly burned.
lie fell through a burning floor and
was rescued with difficulty.
Henry a. Reich, 10 years, managed to
make his escape from the house with
bad burns on the neck, face and hands,
but he is not seriously injured.
Adolph Rcich's home was at Sl7 Ger
mania avenue, near the Hudson Il
ty boulevard, in the Hudson City dis
trict. He was u real estate agent and
well to do, living in u pleasant house
of three stories. 1t is believed that the
fire broke out from a heater in the
basement, and worked its way up to
the third floor, where the sleeping
apartments occupied by the family were
located.
Henry Reich said it was late when
they retired, having had u pa rty.
When he ran into the hall he saw
smoke and flames in the lower hall.
His father was there and they man
aged to get out of the house in their
night clothes. Young Reich ran down
the street and gave the alarm. When
he returned his father was nowhere to
be seen, but one of his brothers, Sigis-
mund, was there, badly burned. He
was taken to Il ~neighboriug house,
where he said that someone had awak-
ened him aud that he had jumped
through the binding smoke and flames
down the staircase and out into the
open air.
Several engine companies responded
promptly to the alarm, and ten minutes
later the fire was out. Then began
the search of the house. The lights
from the tiremen's lanterns disclosed
three charred bodies against the wall
at the foot of the stairs. They were
those Of Adolph Reich, his daughter
Tillie and little Gustave. The father
had fallen upon the daughter and his
son was in his arms. They were burned
almost beyond recognition.
In the basement of the house the
searching party stumbled over the re-
mains Of Ida and Albert, two black
ened corpses with arms intertwined.
Portions of the limbs had been entirely
burned away and the faces were horri-
bly, distorted.
The mother was found in the dining
room. She vas but slightly burned.
Her face showed no look OF pain. She
undoubtedly died from suffocation.
The bodies were sen to the morgue.

THE ARIZONA KICKER

The editor of the Arizona Kicker, the
mayor of Giveadam Gulch, the postmas-
ter of the same town, the state senator
of the Third district and the deputy
United States marshal for the Eastern
district of Arizona, all of whom are our
self, and signing his name Jim Hellso,

to st. Louis.
As we took our place in the stage to
drive to the railroad the band played:
"See, the Conquering Hero Goes" That
was us. If there is anything in this ter
rtory we haven't got on to with both
feet we don't know where it is hidden
away.
Our esteemed contemporary had
heard the news that we were going east
to buy supplies for the Kicker office
and mingle with the great world for a
time, and he was on hand to see us of

When we boarded the train and pro-

conductor took us at once In our
private graveyard lies the body of a
brother of his whose career was a blotch
on the escutcheon of the family, and
the family have always been thankful
10 us for removing the wandering
sheep and decorating his grave with
trailing arbutus. We removed him
without malice af~orethought and as
gently as we could and not until after
he had kicked in the door of our office
and opened fire on us with two guns.

conduct under the trying circum-
stances was all that could be hoped for.

there is in regard to lamps. The wheel
made and sold by any particular house
may give satisfaction to the whimsical
buyer in two or three respects, but not
in all. These facts explain the follow
ing remarks, offered by the Iron Age:
"A feature of the western trade fol-
the coming season is the preference Of
manufacturers to make contracts fol-
the delivery of skeleton wheels, OF
wheels without tires, saddles and
handle-bars. The iobbers who pur.
chase these skeletons will sell them in
the same condition to retailers, mainly
hardware merchants, who will then
complete them according to the taste
of Me individual buyer. So many styles
of tires, saddles and handle-bars are
now on the market, and so varying are
the tastes of bicycle riders, that manu-.
facturers and jobbers are disposed to
let the retailer assume the task OF
trimming wheels. This will bring
about another change in the bicycle
trade, if it becomes the general custom
as it will cause manufacturers of tires
saddles and handle-bars to seek the
patronage of retailers, whereas they
have hitherto almost entirely cultivat.
ed the bicycle manufacturers. Recent.
ly some enterprising Chicago business
men have returned from South Amer.
lea, where they have been introducing
American goods, and they report that
the European bicycle has been almost
wholly displaced by American wheels
and that these wheels are largely o
Chicago origin"

After q slipht DELAY we were

nsyor. After a slight delay we were
ushered into his presence and he gave
us a warm greeting. Exaggerated re-
ports of the doings in the common
ell chamber of Giveadam Gulch had
reached his ears and we were glad to set
him right. When we informed him that
only three of our aldermen had been
wounded during the past year, and that
we had not even been scratched by
any of the shots fired at us as presiding
officer, his opinion of the far west was
much more favorable. The mayor of
st. Louis does not carry a gun, and he
could not throw a lasso over n post ten
feet away, but we left his presence feel
ing that he was a pretty good fellow.
lie may possibly be Il guest this sum
mer, and though the boys will shoot
at his plug hat and russell shoes he will
come out all right.
St. Louis is a large and busy city,
about 800 times the size of Giveadam
Gulch. We know we shall be shot at
for making this statement, but let 'er
go, Gallagher! There are more saloons,
more stores, dwellings,, poker parlors,
horses, mules, men, women, children
and dogs in st. Louis than Giveadam
Gulch will possess in the next 10000
wears. w are about n fly-bite com
pared TO it. Before leaving home our
bump of self-esteem was as big as a
beer key. 1t has now dwindled down
to the size of a walnut and is still
| shrinking. Two weeks ago we were
against civilization, even to patent
corks in beer bottles. Next week the
Kicker will throw wide open the doors
and welcome anything and everything,
from a shirt that opens behind to a
Manhattan cocktail with a cherry in
it. w have cleaned up Il guns and
laid in 100 cartridges to help us out
in our new departure, and the eritter
who tries to stop us must look out for
himself.
