CAUGHT IN THE KITCHEN.
Fire in Block Of Anmi Whitney on
on Exchange Street.
STARTED IN. THE REAR OF G. G.
SANBORN'S RESTAURANT &.

Ioss on Restaurant Will BE Total-Other
Occupants of Block Sustained Losses
Amounting in All to Several Thousand
Dollars.
A little girl ran into the police station
at II. IS last night and said there was a
fire in Sanborn's restaurant on Exchange
street. About the same time word reached
the chemical engine house that there was
strong odor of smoke in the vicinity of
Exchange and Federal streets.
The chemical was quick to respond bit
when it reached Exchange street dense
smoke was working It's way through every
creyice in the front door OF. CharlessG san
born's Imperial cafe, and the reflection in
the rear showed that flames were raising
havoc in the kitchen.
Some little delay was experienced IN
forcing open the front door. BY the time
the chemical stream was set to work the
flames had burst through the rear door,
and also through a side door leading into
Albert Dirwanger' florist establishment
adjoining the restaurant.
An alarm from box 46, pulled in by
Councilman 4. A. Burke brought pro-
cession of other apparatus and the build.
ing was soon being deluged from halt
dozen streams. Within a quarter Of an
hour from the time the first stream was
put on the fire was entirely under control
though the firemen's services were not
dispensed with until considerably after
the midnight hour.
The principal damage was to the cafe
which was left in such dilapidated con-
dition when the all out was rung that
Proprietor Sanborn will have no difficulty
in proving total loss, He considers his
loss about $780, He was insured for $1,000
in MIR. Corey's agency.
Mr.. Charles f. Dam, the painter, whose
shop is directly over this cafe had an in
surance on his property and his loss will
reach nearly that amount.
The store of Mr.. Albert Dirwanger, the
florist, was badly smoked and the floor
wet, while the workroom in the rear
suffered seriously from smoke and water.
He was insured. His loss is estimated at
500 to $500.
Mr.. II. E. McDonough, the undertaken,
estimates his loss ON account of the
binding smoke that filled his apartments
about $780, His loss is covered by insur-
ance.
Lefavor Bros, the printers, and Mr..
Frederick Thompson, the architect,
suffered slight damage from smoke.
The building is owned by Mr.. Ammi
Whitney, whose loss is estimated at $1,000
and was covered by insurance.
1t is supposed the fire started in the
kitchen of the restaurant, though every
thing appeared to be in proper condition
to lsave when the restaurant closed less
than an hour before the fire broke out i

TO SEARCH FOR THE PORTLAND.
An Expedition Said to Have Been Organ
lied at Provincetown.

provincetown, Mass, December TO-
The assembling in the harbor during the
past few days Of a fleet of two tugs and
one or two fishing schooners. accompanied
by divers and diving apparatus, all under
the superyision of Lieut.. Halpine OF the
government photographic office, leads to
the opinion, which is universal, that an
attempt will shortly be made to locate the
wreck of the Portland. The ofnclals IN
charge of the expedition, for 10 mas as
sumed such proportions, are extrem ely
reticent regarding The object OF ene
preparations but enough leaked out To-
night to confirm every suspicion.
The two tugs A. W. Chesterton and
William II. Gallison arrived from Boston
yesterday with the diving apparatus and
one or two local fishing schooners were
hired today to carry the divers and their
gear The upfavorable weather OF the
past day or two has kept the feet well In
side the harbors and with the approach
OF another storm from the south predictsd
tonight. it seems likely that 1T will be
some time before the work of locating the
wreck will be actually begun.
With Lieut. Haipine in charge, the ex-
petition has one of the best of the govern
ment officials at its head, but a number
of Proyincetown fishermen will be taken
along, in order to give the benefit OF
their knowledge OF the tides and the SAND
bars off the end of the cape. With the
exception of the stretch inside the Peaked
Hill whistling buoy, the water of the end
of the cape is quite deep, being nearly ~
fathoms only mile of shore. Soundings
will undoubtedly have to be made, in
order to locate the wreck, and even then,
with the swift tide constantly displacing
the sand, the chances of running across
the hull are considered somewhat slim.
just who is responsible for the expedition
has not been divulged but TT WAS rumored
tonight that combination had been
made between the Portland Steamship
company and the insurance companies.
SO that while the Portland is the main
object search will also be made for
evidence OFF the end of the Cape for
sailing vessels known to have been in that
vicinity. at the time of the storm. There
is also hope that some definite trace
may be found of the steamer Pentagoet.
KNOWS NOTHING OF IT.
Mr.. j. F. Liscomb, manager of the
Portland Steamship company, was called
upon at an early hour this morning and
asked If the Portland Steamship company
had made any arrangements of the nature
stated in the above despatch for finding
the wreck of the Portland. Mr.. Liscomb
said that be knew nothing about the COM
bination mentioned above. The Portland
company had mads no arrangements with
insurance companies or any one else to
organize an expedition for this purpose.
He said that when it was deemed adyis-
able the company would do all that was
possible to discover the wreck but SO far
no expedition had been organized by the
company for this purpose

Spain on account OF the illness of Score
tary Oieda OF the Spanish commission.
oUR.RELATIoNs WITH SPAIN.

Washington, December 10.-In view of
the approaching signature Of the peace
treaty, the government will be obliged
very speedily to take steps looking TO
the restoration of the diplomatic ma
chinery necessary to friendly relations
with Spain. So far the President has
not given much time to the selection of
minister to Madrid. The recent visit
to the White House of Mr. Woodford, late
minister to that capital, has been errone-
ously construed to indicate determine
ton on the part of the President to return
the minister TO Madrid. AS a matter of
fact this is improbable, as the whole line
of diplomatic precedent is in the direc-
ton of wiping out all old issues and
starting afresh after war with new min
isrers on both sides. The disappointment
of Mr.. Woodford might mean the return
to Washington of Senior Polo Bernabee,
whose residence in Canada during the
war rendered him SO obnoxious. to
the American public. If customs is
followed, either the next United States
minister to Madrid. or the next Spanish
minister to Washington, will be accorded
with credentials as a special envoy to ex-
change the Publications of the treaty me-
gotiated at Paris. Having fulfilled that
function he will present his credentials
as minister resident and remain in that
capacity just which of the ministers
win be called upon to perform this func-
tion depends upon the place selected by
the Paris commissioners for the exchange
of final notifications.
