FIRE AT VANCOUVER.
The Most Destructive Conhagration
in Many Years.

VANCOUVER B. c., April 21.-Not
since Vancouver was destroyed by fire
IN 1856 has there been such con'
fiagration as took place early this
morning. The fire started in one. or
the buildings on Stimson's wharf, ana
soon assumed disastrous proportions.
The outbreak was discovered by the
men discharging coal from the steamer
]. L. Card at the Union Steamship
Company's wharf, adjoining. They
quickly gave the alarm. and the }. L..
card blew her whistle, while others
ioined in. and soon the whole town was
aroused.
The entire fire brigade Of the city
was quickly on the ground, but the fire
had obtained so firm hold and burned
so fast and furiously that it was soon
seen that the buildings on Stimson's S
wharf were doomed. A number of Ca
madam Pacific Railway cars filled with
valuable freight standing on sidings,
soon became a prey to the flames
The fire then leaped to the New Eng
land Fish Company's buildings, the
bait shed and roof of the packing shed
being soon aflame. The firemen turned
their whole attention to this building,
and after an hours hard work succeed
ed in getting the fire under control.
The burning mass covered an area
of wharf of about go feet by 40 feet
No estimate of the damage has yet been
made, as it is not fully known what
was destroyed.

STATE OF WAR EXISTS.
Such is the Opinion Held by the
State Department.

WASHINGTON, April 21-In the
opinion of the State Department a
state of war now exists between Spain
and the United States. Moreover this
in its views, has been brought about
by the action of the Spanish Govern
ment which, in notifying Minister
Woodford that it had broken diplomat
ic relations thereby took the initiative
1t is presumed by this time the various
Consuls in Spain who have so far with
out exception stuck Loyalty at their
posts, are now making their way as
rapidly as possible across the frontier
into France.
There were an unusual number of di-
plomatic callers at the State Depart
ment, the list including the three EN-
bassadors from France, Belgium and
Japan. 1t is believed that the OBJ
ject of the French ambassadors call
was to notify Judge Day formally that
at the request of the retiring Spanish
Minister the French Embassy, with
the permission of the United States
Government, would look after the in
terests of Spain in the United States
The other diplomatic callers were all
interested in learning the latest devel-
"
the decision of this Government upon
the questions of neutrality and priva-
teering. While Spain is not party to
the Paris agreement prohibiting pri
watering, it is not doubted that in
view of the announced decision of our
Government to refrain from .he issue
of letters of marque the Spanish Gov
ernment viii adopt similar course.
AT any rate, it can be safely asserted
that the Powers of Erope are I'll deep
ly interested in maintaining their COM
merce free from annoyances of privat-
eering and will insist that the practice
shall not be adopted by the Spanish in
this case.
Diplomatically, it is probably true
that the United States ultimatum has
never officially reached the Spanish
Government, for the copy delivered
yesterday to the Spanish Minister at
Washington can scarcely be regarded
in a technical sense as a formal COM
munication, but rather as a piece of
information communicated through
courtesy. 1t is not perceived, how
ever, that any substantial advantage
has been reached by the Spanish Gov
ernment in preventing the formal de-
livery of the ultimatum through Mr..
Woodford, although it may be that they

WHITE HOUSE TO BE GUARDED
Precautions to Protect the Presi-
dent From Possible Danger.

WASHINGTON, April 21. - The
Post" tomorrow will say:
A military guard will be placed at
the White House in a few days. This
has been definitely settled, but none of
the details of the arrangement are
known Colonel Bingham Superln-
tendent of Public Buildings and
Grounds, will have charge Of the guard
and such others as may be placed at
the public buildings. A conference was
held to-day between Major Moore, Su-
perintendent of Police, and Chief
Wilkie of the United States secret SER
vice. in regard to a civil guard at the
White House The force around the
grounds will be largely increased, ana
many detectives in citizens clothes Will
be placed on duty. Every active pre-
caution will be taken to protect the
President from any possible danger.
Torpedoes and mines are being plant
ed in the Potomac River below Wash
ington. They are being put there as a
safeguard in case of an emergency, ana
the exact locations of the mines are
being kept secret. The majority of the
work is being done by night, and is
being pushed forward with an eye to
the possible contingency of hostile
fleet attempting to shell the Capital.

WAR REVENUE MEASURE.
Expected to be Laid Before Ways
and Means Committee To-day.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The Re-
publican members of the Ways and
Means Committee expected to complete
the war revenue measure and have L
ready for submission to the full COM
rnittee tomorrow, or Saturday at the
latest. The proposition to place 10 eerts
tax on tea and 3 cents on coffee has
met considerable opposition, and various
suggestions have been made as to sub
jects for taxation in lieu of tea and
coffee. Among them is proposition TO
place 30 cents tax per barrel on pc
troleum, but it now seems probable that
this will be abandoned. There is also
proposition to add mineral waters,
wines, etc. The proposition which now
meets with more favor is to tax railroad
tickets and sleeping car tickets 10 cents
for each trip of over 100 miles. 1t IS
estimated between S20000,00O aa1
So, 900, 900 could be raised from this
source.
Although no decision was reached at
the session this afternoon 1t appeared
probable after the Republican confer
ence broke up that sufficient revenue
can be raised without resorting to tax

LOS ANGELES, April 21.-The entire

tunity to interfere for the protection

The Lisbon correspondent of the
Times says: The Portuguese press
has shown remarkable fOrbearance in
its comments hitherto, but now it dis
plays great sympathy with Spain. Las
Novidades" calls the action of the
United States deceit, perfidious, un-
scrupulous and repugnant." The price
of bread is rapidly rising.
BERLIN, April 21.--The German
press continues to blame America The
'Kolnische Zeitung" declares that the
American plea for humanity is put out
of court by the declaration of war. It
believes that a conflict between the
United States and Spain will probably
involve greater bloodshed than has
been caused by the Cuban rebellion.
1t says: ITO expel Satan by Beelze-
bub can hardly be described as a re-
suit of genuine philanthropy. But if
the other powers witness the struggle
with apathy surely a disinterested
power like Germany has no reason to
take sides in the conflict"

TREASURER WIDBER.
Indicted by the Grand jury for
Felony Embezzlement.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 21.-At .
O'Clock tonight the Grand Jury re-
turned an indictment against City ana
County Treasurer A. c. Widber, charg-
ing him with felony embeZZlement.
The money in the treasury vaults WAS
carefully counted to-day, and the con-
dition Of the various funds investigated,
the result being that Widber's shortage
was fixed at $115, 1919 so. 1t is believed
that most of this money was stolen dur
ing the present year, and there seems
no doubt that nearly all was lost on the
races, although the defaulting Official
claims to have made disastrous mining
investments.
The total value Of Widber's property,
including a mine at Grass Valley, is
estimated at about 100000, and late
to-day City Attorney Creswell brought
suit against him to secure the amount
of the shortage not covered by his bond
of 100000 with the Fidelity Trust ana
Surety Company. 1t is understood that
the Surety Company will claim that 1t
is not liable for any defalcation which
occurred before March 25th, on which
date the money in the treasury was Of
ficially counted and pronounced intact
by Mayor Phelan, Auditor BroderlcK
and Judge Bahrs, the legally authorized
Commissioners.
