THE SONG OF THE CAMP.

"Giye us a song," the soldiers cried. The outer trenches guarding. When the heated guns of the camps
 allied
 Grew weary Of bombarding. The dark Redan, in silent scoff, Lay grim and threatening, under; And the tawny mound of the Malakoff No longer beIched it's thunder. There was a pause A guardsman said: 'sWe storm the forts tomorrow; Sing while we may, another day Will bring enough of sorrow They lay along the battery's side, Below the smoking cannon: Brave hearts from Severn and from
 Clyde
 And from the banks of Shannon They sang Of love and not Of fame, Forgot was Britain's glory; Each heart recalled a different name But all sang Annie Laurie. Voice after voice caught up the song Until its tender passion Rose like an anthem rich and strong Their battle-eve confession. Dear girl, her name he dared not speak But as the song grew louder, Something upon the soldiers cheek Washed off the stains of powder Beyond the darkening ocean burned The bloody sunsets embers, While the CriInean valleys learned How English love reme embers. And once again the fire of hell Rained on the Russian quarters, With scream of shot and burst of shell And believing of the mcrtars And Irish Nora's eyes arg dim For a singer dumb and gory, And English Mary weeps for him Who sang Of Annie Laurie" Sleep, soldiers still in honored rest Your truth and Valor wearing; The bravest are the tenderest, The loving are the daring

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

The Louisville Branch of the American
Tobacco Co. Burned to the Ground-The
Loss Almost Half a Million Many Per-
sons Severely yInjured-Fourteen Hundred
Employees Thrown Out of Work.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 26.-The mann
moth plant of the Louisville branch of
the American Tobacco Co. at Twenty
Fourth and Maine streets was de-
stroyed by fire yesterday, entailing
loss of over $3.50, 600, fully covered by
insurance. It was the most disastrous
fire that has visited the Falls City in
years.
The plant occupied half a square, and
at the time the fire broke out con-
tanned an army of employees, who
rushed frantical1y from the building.
Many made their way to terra firma via
fire escapes, but several On the upper
floors who had no means of escape, in
their excitement, leaped from the win
dows, two sustaining probably fatal
injuries. The injured are:
George Dissendorf, back injured and
severe injuries about the head and
chest; will probably die
William Semple, skull fractured; will
probably die.
John Payham, both legs broken.
The iremen were hindered by lack
of water.
Falling walls added to the danger OF
the workers and the escape of some
nremen was all but miraculous.
The hard fight lasted several hours,
but finally conquered the fire. Reports
to the effect that many persons had
been killed and injured spread rapidly
throughout the city and great excite
ment prevailed. The loss is estimated
at over $3.50, 1000; at first it was reported
to be over ST. 100000.
Mr.. w. b. Duke, president of the
American Tobacco Co., witnessed the
destruction of his property. He said
that it it would be at once rebuilt.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Fourteen hundred men, women and
children are thrown out of employ.

SPAIN MUST DETERMINE.
President and Cabinet Face a
Serious Contingency.
Actual Danger RecOgnized-The Cabinet
"eeting Dissolves with the Accepted
Conclusion that the Country Must
be Made Ready for War.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Not in many
years has the White House cabinet
roor known such discussion as took
place there yesterday. The president
and his advisers faced the contingency
of war sqGarely and resolutely.
For the first time in this adminstra-
tion the question of arming and fight
was considered.
There was no disposition to mini
mize the danger. The president and
the cabinet were of one mind, that the
course toward Spain must be firm, and
that, if war was threatened, it should
not be avoided at the expense of honor.
The discussion covered the emergen-
cies, increase of the navy, the size of
the army that wouli be required, the
probable duration G! hostilities, the
cost and the method of providing for it.
If the court of inquiry had reported
and war had been declared, the cabinet
meeting could not have been of more
serious import. At the same time that
the president and cabinet ent over
the field of preparation foi war in
their minds they talked of the possible
outcome with peace and honor.
AS stated elsewhere, there YVES not
presented to the cabinet proofs chat
the Maine had been destroyed by de-
sign, but it was agreed that the whole
tendency of developments was to I'M
D1.eSS the belief that the raport would
be against the theory of accident.
The cabinet meeting dissolved with
the accepted conclusion that the ma
tion must be made ready for peace or
war, with the choice largely left to
Spain to determine-peace by repara-
ton for the loss of the Maine, war by
refusal to meet the responsibility.

Death in Burning Tenement Building
Unavailing Efforts of the Police.

Death in Burning Tenement Building
Unavailing Efforts of the Police.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 26.-Nine
lives were lost in a fearful fire which
ragged for short while in Church street
yesterday morning. At 2:1O a police
man on duty noticed big sparks flying
from the tenement house at 16O Church
street. The officer found that blaze
was issuing from one of the windows
on the first floor. The doors were
broken open, and the family on
that floor were rushed out without any
damage. Some one yelled that family
of women were sleeping on the third
floor. The police rushed up stairs and
when they reached the top story the
life-saving work was stopped by the
flames which seemed to be playing
over the entire building.
Screams from dying women were
heard and Officer Bagby rushed in and
pulled out three charred bodies. The
quick work of the fire department
checked the fire, and it was soon under
control, but not until nine lives on the
third story had been lost.

FROM THE EADs BRIDGE.
Albert A. Henry's Leap to Death at 81
Louis,


ST. LOUIS, Feb. 26.-Albert A. Henry,
travelling agent for a Philadelphia cold
storage concern, jumped from the
middle span of the Eads bridge at 9 a. m;
and was drowned in the waters of the
Mississippi.
It was the fifteenth suicidal attempt
in st. Louis since last Sunday.
:, Henry was seen by teamsters cross
ing the bridge to take off his overcoat
and climb over the railing, and at first
thought he was engaged in doing some
thing to the telephone wires. By the
time it dawned upon them that the
man was about to commit suicide, and
one of them had left his wagon and
started towards where Henry was, the
latter had secured the place he wanted,
from which he plunged, striking the
water head first, and was seen no more.

MUCH-NEEDED RAIN.
A Copious Downpour Relieves the Anxiety
of California Farmers.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.-The much
needed rain has come at last and ended
the long drought which seriously
threatened the farming regions of
the principal valleys of Cali'or-
MIA. A downpour, which com
menced shortly after midnight.
Wednesday, has been the heaviest
for some time past, and extended all
over the northern part of the state and
as far south as Monterey. Only the ex-
treme south seems to have escaped the
drenching. Los Angeles county was
visited by light showers, barely
sufficient to do much good, but the in
dications are that more rain is coming.
