BIG FIRE IN NPHILADELPHT4.
Philade1phta OIL Refining Company's
Plant Destroyed $500 900 Damage,


Philadelphia, June 13.-The extensive
plant of the Philadelphia Oil Refining
company at Point Breeze in the ex-
treme southwestern part Of the city,
was visited by fire tonight. By the
almost herculean efforts of the COM
pany's workmen and nearly the entire
fire department of the city, the flames
were kept in check and the loss held
within 100000. The fire broke out in
the big shipping dock facing on the
Schuylkill river, wherein were stored
cases, packages and barrels of crude
and paraffine oils and wax. In an in
stand almost the entire dock was in
flames.
Five separate alarms were sounded
and twenty-five companies responded
in addition to the four police and fire
boats. Adjoining the dock were the
tanks filled with crude and paraffine
oils. On these the workmen and fire.
men labored with long lines of hose
and kept the intense heat from ignit-
ing the contents. Meanwhile carloads
of sand and earth weret thrown upon
the outskirts of the burning buildings
and served to check somewhat the
flames spread. Two barges, made fast
to the dock were burned to the waters
edge and one ship, the County Dunn
fries, was slightly scorched. Within
the dock buildings were 5000 packages
of parafflne, valued at about $3S00O,
and 100000 cases of crude oil, valued at
5000, 900, and 1900 barrels of lubricating
oil The company carried it's own in
surance. The origin of the fire is un-
known, =

WHAT rs THOUGHTIN WASHINGTON
The Fight at Guantanamo Has a Sober
Ing Effect.


Washington, June 1.-THE news Of
the attack by the Spaniards upon the
United States marines at Guantanamo
bay, Saturday night, was not con-
firned by official advices UP to the close
of the day here. However, there is no
disposition to question the accuracy of
the press report and the news has had
rather SOLDERING effect upon the ele-
ment that has insisted upon rushing
troops forward regardless of their un-
preparedness. Saturday nights action
shows that the Spanish are not afraid
to charge boldly upon United States
troops and the reports Of a bushwhack-
ing warfare disclosed by the Spanish
movements are anything but agreeable
to the persons who have been hoping
for short campaign.
A good deal Of surprise Is expressed
at the failure of the report to mention
any substantial aid received by the
marines camped on Crest Hill from the
insurgents, the men best calculated
from their experience In jungle fighting
to be of service in an encounter with
Spanish guerillas. Without any dis
paragement to the fighting ability of
the marines, the question has been rails
ed in the minds of military experts
whether, failing In any substantial as
sistance from the Cubans in the vicin-
ity, western soldiers trained in Indian
shooting would not be Of more service
in Cuban jungle campaign. Moth
ing so severely tasks the courage and
endurance of troops as to be shot at by
an unseen foe, and only troops trained
in our latest skirmish drill can render
effective service in such attacks.

officials of the Dominican government
having secured at Monte Cristi, Santo
Domingo, a business house formerly be-
longing to Senior Jimines, leader of the
recent abortive revolutionary attempt,
but now the property of German
company, the German consul general
has asked Berlin to send warship to
that port to protect the country's in
terest. Senor Jimines carefully made
over his business at None Cristi to his
successor before embarking in the revo-
lutionary enterprise. President Heur-
eaux's government demanded that the
owners of the business should pay
fine of 100000 because of the part
Jimines took in the insurection. This
was refused and the private seals
which had been placed on the doors of
the warehouse We're broken by Domini-
can officials, who took possession.

Work OF Two Former on the Thames
Courtney Satisfied,

Yale Quarters, Gales Ferry, Conn,
June ia considerable amount of
work was done to-day both by the
Varsity and freshmen crews and the
men showed improvement. This morn
ing the Varsity took a two-mle spin,
and with little tide to favor them they
went the distance several seconds fast
er than on any previous attempt The
health of Wicks and Williams has con-
siderably improved and the crew now
shows more even stroke and the boat
a steadiness which 1t is claimed is far
ahead of last years crew with the
same amount of practice. The fresh
men crew returned to New Haven
early this afternoon to take examina-
tions, but are expected back tonight
on the train due at New London at
S:11.
Harvard Quarters, Gales Ferry,
Conn, June 13.-The work of the Var
sity crew this afternoon consisted
chiefly in going down the course for
mile and a half in short stretches,
with ten or fifteen fast strokes, which
tested the steadiness Of the boat Sc
verely the water being rough in places.
The men coming back started a fast
mile and for half the distance kept the
boat on even keel, but after the half
mile the work, particularly of Lake,
No. 2, became very ragged and all the
men had a tendency to row short. The
report which has gained some credence
that the members of the Harvard crew
were ill on account of the food is en-
tirely without foundation, as the men
are all enjoying the best of health.
Ithaca, N. Y, June 3-The hard work
is now practically finished for the Cor
nell crews. Tomorrow another prac-
tice spin will be given them to keep
them in condition, but there will be no
more racing until they reach New
London At about o'clock this even
ing the crews pulled out from the boat
house and rowed down the inlet to the
lake. They rowed to the starting point.
| The freshmen were given a mile lead,
but although they rowed hard and were
plucky throughout the race, they were
beaten by the Varsity by about a
length When the crews came in
Courtney would not say word about
the time which was made, but he smil-
ed and expressed himself as satisfied.
There can be no doubt that the present
Varsity crew is as good as any Cornell
crew ever turned out, both in form and
speed The freshmen crew shows
steady Improvement. On Wednesday
morning the crews are to depart for

Off United States camp, Guantanamo
ton, Jamaica, June 13.-11:S0 a. m.--
When The Associated Press dispatch
boat Dauntless left Guantanamo bay
early this morning, after the thirteen
hours skirnish between the United
States marines, under Lieutenant Col
onel r. w. Huntington, and the Span
ish guerillas and regulars, it was or
dered that the fighting would be re-
newed. The Marblehead was landing
reinforcements, and nothing had been
heard from the advance pickets under
Lieutenant Wendell C. Neville and
Lieutenant Melville J. Shaw.
At 9 o'clock the firing was again re-
newed by the Spaniards. who appeared
off the camp, on the edge Of small
island, about a mile to the northeast.
1t was promptly returned by thirteen
rifles and three-inch field gun, and
in short time all signs of the enemy
had disappeared. Lieutenant Colonel
Huntington then sent to the landing for
a second gun, which was dragged up
| the hill and placed In position at the
summit. The skirnish lines thrown
round the camp kept up popping all
| the morning, but with not much result
| to show for it. Meanwhile the Marble
head left the harbor and threw few
shells into the woods.
| To the great delight of the marines
| in camp Lieutenants Neville and Shaw
| with thirty men Of Company d re-
| turned in good shape. but much ex-
hausted by eighteen hours of picket
duty One man, Sergeant Smith Of
| Company K, had been shot through the
abdomen and instantly killed. During
most of the day and night Lieutenants
Neville and Shaw had been surrounded
by superior force, but men and Off
GERS behaved splendidly and, although
the firing Of the Spaniards was con-
stant and heavy, Lieutenant Neville's
detachment held it's own, inflicting
I much more loss than 1t sustained. AT
least five Spaniards are known to
have been killed, and as Lieutenant
| Neville's men kept up a steady fire
| throughout the night and the enemy
was not at a great distance, it is be-
lieved that the Spanish casualties were
| heavy.
| The battle ship Texas arrived this
| morning and sent ashore forty marines
and two automatic Colt guns as re-
| Inducements. The Marblehad also
sent an additional small detachment.

There is only one spot on the earth's

majesty. This spot lies four miles and
a half south of Helsingfors, Finland. A
few years ago Lara Huilariene died In
the little town of Pielssjarvl, IN the
above named : country, leaving conslc-
cradle property in the shape OF land
ed estate. How he had come Into pos
session of so much land no one seemed
to know, but as he was very bad cit
izen it was generally admitted that he
was in league with Wlntahausu (Sa-
tan), and that they had many business
deals with each other.
This somewhat startling opinion was
verified when in the home OF old Hull
arlene was found a box containing q
certified warranty deed inclosed there
In, which decided Satan all his earthly
possessions. The will was to the same
effect. The family have repeated,
tried to break the will, but so far have
been unsuccessful. Thus the record.
