on the evening of July 2 there was a

being 81, 997. 95. When the fire broke out
| the fire department responded and. ac-
cording to the findings of fact. would
have been able to e~xtinguish the fire
without loss but for the report that
there was a carload of powder on the
tracks close to the fire. The depart
ment retired to a safe distance and the
chief made an examination which
showed hat there was a powder label
on the car. but the car was empty. The
department then returned and extin-
guished the fire.

New York. March 30.-A dispatch to
the World from Brussels says: M.
Graux. former minister Of finance, and
an illustrious authority on interna-
tional law. takes a graver view of the
Spanish situation than heretofore. He
says:
THE absence Of participation by the
Spanish government in the destruction
of the Maine in no wise relieves them
Of responsibility, II the disaster In
traced to a Spanish subject. But 1t
does reduce the question to n of mere
damages, which can be easily settled
by arbitration.
IAN danger lies in the intention Of
the United States to send financial as
sistance to the Cubans. No state could
h~onorably allow such Interference un-
der the cloak of humanitarian motives
which do not exist. Under the rules of
warfare. by which Spain Ii dealing
with the insurgents. to render them any
assistance. financial or otherwise. con-
stitutes a casus belli."
These views are Endorsed i'm the main
by Count Golublet. who adds: 1t Is
| the universal opinion here that Amer
lea wants war at any price. The Ala
bama claims. representing greater diff
iculties than the loss of the Maine
were settled by arbitration. The pres
ent action Of the American people Is
merely a pretext to force the hand OF
the president"

CabIegram From woodford.

Washington, March 30.-The presi-
den to-day received a cablegram from
Minister Woodford at Madrid in which
he confirms the published report that
he had an extended conference with
Premier Sagasta yesterday. No def
mite conclusion was reached as the
minister desires to place the matter
under consideration before the queen
regent n other members of the min
istry. The conference was adjourned
until tomorrow. The consensus of
opinion in administration circles is that
il involves a settlement on al indem-
nifty basis of something less than

FORTY MISSING
 FROM THE VAULT Chinese Certificates That Can not Be Found and Are
 Probably Stolen. I. Will Be Six Months Before the Exact Loss Gan Be Dis
 covered.

With reference to the article published exclusively in The Call yesterday con- corning the loss of several Chinese cer- tificates of registration from the big vault of the Collector of Internal Rev enue during the administration of o. M. Welburn, P. T. M. Waite and H. c. How ard, the clerks appointed recently to in- dex the 4S,O00 certificates, said yesterday that forty are missing. They will not be able to ascertain whether these have been stolen or mislaid until the whole work of indexing has been finished. They know that forty duplicates have been called for and that they have been unable to find them. but hope that when the work of indexing shall have been completed they will turn up.
 There is no clew as to the persons who are responsible for the loss of the valu- able documents, and in all probability the culprits will never be discovered un- less some one of the number turns, State evidence and exposes his accomplices. The indexing is going on at the rate of 5000 per month, and 10000 have been in- dexed already. This leaves about 2S, 900 to finish In about six months time the number of certificates missing may be ac- curately determined.

Says He Feels Inclined to Enlist With the War
 Volunteers.
Mexico Is in Accord With the United States in the
 Battle.
It Is Believed That He Will Take a Hand in Local Political
 Affairs.

Colonel Dan M Burns, who left here last December to look after his mining interests in Mexico, returned last night and was greeted at the ferry landing by many of his old time political adherents. He appeared to have grown considerably stouter during his absence, and in re- sponse to inquiries made by his friends concerning his health replied that he never felt better in his life. carriage was in waiting for him. and arter excus- ing himself to his friends he was driven to his home on Octavia street.
 Business Is steadily improving in Mex ico," said he last night, "and all the mines are banning out well and profitably. The people are greatly interested over the war and every bit of news is eagerly read and discussed. The sympathfes of the majority of the people of Mexico are with the United States, and they expect to hear of great and signal victories both on land and sea. l understand that reports have been circulated that the Mexican people are not in hearty accord with the United States. Such reports are not true. The few Spaniards there are, of course, in favor of their mother country, but they do not amount to many. The presence of the Spanish is unwelcome in Mexico You can rest as MeSco eha are 'i i hearty accord and sympathy with the battle being made by the United States,

 T have not been paving any any attention t;and have been on my way home I have not heard of anything but the war.
 Do you intend returning shortly to your mines?"
 T will remain in the city until after the first of the year" And the answer was given in a manner that suggested that Colonel Dan Burns will be mixed up in the political fight next winter unless he goes to the war.
