dental, so far as can be learned.
AT Z o'clock a fire broke out in the
residence Of G. H. Leggett, but the

vented much damage. Before the ap-
paratus had been returned to the en-
gine-house another alarm was turned
in for a fire which had started in a
Frenchmans carpenter shop on Canal
street. The building was an old wooden
one, and burned like kindling wood.
An unoccupied blacksmith shop on one
side and Atwood's planning mill on
the other were soon ablaZe, all three
buildings being completely destroyed.
In the planning mill was considerable

CIVIC FEDEI.ATION.
Call for a National Conference to
be Held at Saratoga Springs.


CHICAGO, July 24.-The Civic Fed
GRAFTON of Chicago tonight gave out
call for a national conference, to be
held at Saratoga Springs, N. Y, August
10Th and Goth, to discuss the future
foreign policy of the United States. The
call is signed by over 1000 men in
every State in the Union. 1t says:
The undersigned deem it necessary
that national conference be convened
at an early day to consider the future
Of the foreign policy of the United
States. The war with Spain gives
promise of the overthrow of Spanish
power in Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philip
pines and other of that country's CO.
lcnial possessions. The question of
what disposition the United States
should make of these positions when
peace is reached is none too soon in
engaging the thought of our people.
The question impresses US as being
one of the most serious the American
people have had to consider. 1t is a
new question, and one on which here
tofore very little thought has been be-
slowed by the great majority of our
people Whether the foreign policy Of
the fathers should be adhered to or
the most conservative of our ablest and
thoughtful men. In our opinion this
conference should be composed of men
from all parts of the country, without
respect to party affiliations, whether
they are for or against a policy of ter
ritorial expansion, and mem whose abil-
ity, position and character entitle their
opinions to the respectful considera-
ton of the people"
The circular letter sent out by Chair
man Henry Wade Rodgers and Secre-
tary Ralph M. Eastley asking for sig
natures stated that neither the genesis
nor conduct of the war would be dis
cussed, nor any political cast be given
the proceedings, the object being en-
tirely educational.
The responses were prompt and en-
thusiastic Among the signatures are

GRATEFUL CUBANS.
Will Send a Document Of Thanks
to President Mckinley.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 23.-1l
p. m-The document which is being
circulated for signatures among Cuban
residents in Santiago addressed to the
President of the United States, and
expressing the hope that the United
States Will recognize the Cuban SOW
ereignty in the surrendered portion of
the province of Santiago de Cuba, was
drafted by Aras, the newspaper cor
respondent on the staff of the Cuban
General Castillo, who dictated the al
legged letter of protest from General
Garcia to General Shafter. The fol-
lowing is the text of the document:
ITO President Mckinley: The under
signed, Cubans by birth, landowners
and residents of Santiago de Cuba, rep
resenting with their families the nom
c0mbatant population that suffered for
many years Spanish rule in this section
of the island. wish to express their
warmest thanks to the people of the
United States for delivering them from
the insufferable yoke of Spanish rule.
They wish also to express their alb
solute confidence in the good faith and
humanitarian purposes of the United
States, and in the pledge that the ter
ritOry of Cuba is not to be conquered

the course of few years, part of

Increasing the comfort and happiness OF
this people. but now all desire a gov
eminent of our own, as compensation
for the sufferings and heroism of our
army. and the definite establishment of
the Cuban republic, with Cuban author
tiles.
We hope that the present state of
affairs at Santiago. where Spaniards
are still the administrators of our in
terests. property and fate, will be brief;
that the city may soon be turned over
to the Cubans, and that our army may
enter. the flag of Cuba waving tri-

there is plenty of time in which to act.
1t is too early in the game to do any
thing in the case. / am not SO sure
that the proposed contest will be ille-
gal AS soon as I see it advertised in
the newspapers I will call the matter
to the attention Of the District At
torney."
District Attorney Keneack said that
he does not know anything about the
proposed fight. The Sheriff is the ex-
ecutive officer of the county, and until
he makes some complaint the District
Attorney is powerless. Mr.. Kenefick
assures the public that the law will be
maintained.

CRUDE PETROLEUM.
Southern California Producers to
Advance the Price

Los ANGELES, July 24.-At the reg
ular board meeting of the Oil Pro-
ducers' Trustees tomorrow the price
of their crude petroleum will be ad-
vanced to 81. l. barrel.
The chief reason for this advance,
as explained by Secretary Stasburg, is
that the present supply above ground
is decreasing instead of increasing, and
that the trustees have been obliged to
call upon their reserve to fill their
contracts. and that the quantity in the
tanks in the field, as also in their own
tanks, is steadily growing smaller.
