MADRID, Sept. 11.--In the Chamber

Minister of Marine, replying to the at
tacks of Senior Canalejas, editor of "El

when he became Minister of Marine
the Spanish squadron under Admiral
Ceryera was already at Santiago de

not be held responsible for the acts
charged by Senior Canalejas
Moreover he asserted that the Ad-

unanimous opinion that the squadron
should go to Cuba.
Admiral Cervera not having coal or
food was unable to leave the blockaded
port Of Santiago" said Captain Aunon.
He wanted to blow up his ships in the

CAMP WIKOFF.
General Miles Has Given Orders
That It Be Broken Up.

NEW YORK, Sept PA dispatch
to the Press" from Camp Wikoff says
Under peremptory orders from Gen
eral Miles preparations are being made
to break up this camp at once by send
ing home all the soldiers here. This is
entirely contrary TO what has been the
understanding of the officers in com
mand. General Shafter said last week
that 5000 or 1000 men would be kept
here at least until October and this
was supposed to have been the order
of Secretary Alger. An officer said to-
day when General Miles order came.
a telegram was sent to him saying
that such order was contrary to that
of Secretary Alger. and Miles replied:
Never wind what Alger says, I am
in command now"
This of course settled 1t so far as
the officers here are concerned, and un-
less General Miles orders are counter
manded next week will see the prac-
tical end of Camp Wikoff. General
Bates said:
MY orders are to send the troops

conflict with those of General Alger he
simply said:

A NEW STEP.
Reorganizing, the American Feder-
alton Of Labor.

MILWAUKEE, (Wis.), Sept. 1.-THE
first step in a movement which may re-
suit in dividing the American Fedora
ton of Labor into geographical sections,
was taken tonight at meeting of del
egates from seven State federations of
labor of the Northwest. The purpose
is to form closer union of State fed
erations and to establish a quick sys-
tenn of boycott.
State federations are to submit any
declaration Of a boycott to the central
organization, the latter to submit the
boycott to other State organizations for
ratification. LIE the boycott is declared
just, action will be taken by every
State organization and pushed with
vigor. The proposed organization is to
work in conjunction with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the Ma
tional Trades Union. The plan, the
leaders say, will prevent many unwise
boycotts and by. reducing the number
Of boycotts, will make them more dan
gerous to employers and lead to more
frequent arbitration.

The Loss Is Over One Hundred

Small Insurance.

RED BLUFF, Sept 1.-THE most
disastrous fire known in this city since
the burning of the fremont Hotel sew
eral years ago, broke out about 20
o clock this morning, and before it was
extinguished 100000 worth Of prop
erty was in ashes The flames were
first discovered in the rooms Of lodg-
ing house over Kestner's restaurant, on
South Main street The entire build
ing was soon destroyed. The hard work
Of the Fire Department proved unavail-
ing, for the fire burned rapidly south
ward and by o'clock this morning the
whole of the finest business block in
the city was in ruins. The block was
composed of buildings comprising the
Bank of Tehama County. Wells, Fargo
& Co., Fickert's furniture store, Dar-
rough's drug store, Princes clothing
and dry goods store and the Western
Union Telegraph office. The progress
of the fire northward was stopped by
the high brick walls of Hoffman's sa-
loon. The firemen did everything N
their power to keep the flames confined
to the Corrigan building, occupied by
Kestener and Prince, but the supply
of water was inadequate and the fire
soon found its way through the top of
Fickert's guilding and Darrough's drug
store. The Bank of Tehama County
and the offices of Wells, Fargo & Co.
and the Western Union Telegraph
Companies were soon mass of flames.
Fortunately no wind was blowing at
the time of the fire. The buildings were
all Of brick, but finished in wood and
the flames jumped from building TO
building by the connecting rafters, ig-
hitting the stock of the various stores
all of which was highly infiammable
and made a hot fire. Mr.. Kestener, in
whose building the fire started, was
badly burned about the face and body
in attempting to save his household
property and Mrs. Kestener only es-
capped through the heroic efforts of the

NOT YET SETTLED.
Members Of the Commission Of In
quiry Have Not Yet Accepted.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-While at
the White House no statement was
made tonight as to the status of the
Commission to inquire into the military
bureaus, it was understood that most
OF the gentlemen invited by the Presi
dent to serve on the commission had
been heard from.
Some of them, however, had written
that they had the matter under consd-
GRAFTON and it was thought to be desir-
able to await final conclusions by all of
those asked to serve before making any
announcement. 1t appears to be ac-
cepted among high officials that Gen
eral Gordon, Mr.. Lamont and Mr.. Lin
coin are not likely to accept. The ex-
Secretaries of War are very busy men
of affairs, and it is thought to be hard
ly probable that they can spare the
time for the work on the commission.
1t was reported that Mr.. Lamont's de-
clination had been received, but this,
on inquiry, failed of confirmation. The
opinion was expressed by high officials
that General Henderson, Colonel Sex
ton and DR.. Keen might serve. AS
stated, however, some of the gentlemen
have written that they had the matter
under adviSement and there is conSld-
erable doubt what the result would be.
The War Department had compare
lively quiet day, although the Adju-
tant Generals Office was open through
out the day, expediting the mastering
out and furloughing of troops In various
sections. General Corbin made his
usual call on the President tonight to

but he said there was nothing Of an

tablished. but that no final conclusion
