Fire in Tucson.

At l0.30 Sunday morning fire broke ont in the office of Dr. Odermatt in the second story of the Radulovich block at the corner of Congress street and Stone avenue. It rapidly spread and with Tucson's inadequate water sys- tem could not be checked. The boys from the railroad shops worked hard and the s. P. water supply did the only effective work, but still the fire burnt until it had exhausted itself.
 The building was one of the best business blocks in Tucson. It's value is estimated at near 0 hundred thou sand dollars. It carried an insurance of only eleven thousand.
 A large part of the dry goods stock of W. P. Hit and the crockery stock of L. c. Radulovich were carried out and saved.

Wars Victims.

The official records of the War de- partment, as completed, show that there were B officers and 231 enlisted men of the army, 264 in all, killed in battle during the war with Spain. These casualties include all the lives lost by the army in the baatles in the Philippines, as well those in Cuba and Porto Rico.
 The percentage of the officers killed is strikingly large and is said to be un- precedented in the battles of the world. The contrast is especially striking in in the case of the battle of Omduram, where, although the loss of life was heavy, the list of killed included only one officer of the British army.
