destroyed by fire. the roof being almost entirely burned away. Ben M. Jacobs was seen but could not examine the floor oc- cupied by his firm sufficiently to estimate the loss. The first floor of an office build ing fronting in First avenue, and occupied by the Lathrop-Hatten Lumber company, the Central of Georgia railroad offices and others, was slightly damaged by water, the hose being run through it to reach the rear of the buildings fronting on Morris avenue.
 All of the buildings belonged to John Caldwell or the Caldwell estate. and the damage could not be estimated this morn ing.
 The buildings fronting in First avenue and those in Morris avenue are separated by a narrow court. In this court is boiler which is used to heat the office building, which fronts in First avenue. When Of fcer Shirley took charge of his beat at 12 o'clock, he noticed a l'ght in the court but thought nothing of it. He went on to the union station, and while there saw flames leap up over the three-story buld- ings. By this time it was 1230 and he turned in an alarm.
 The furnace and boiler was situated in a frame shed in the court. The flames burst through the shed into the lower floor of the building occupied by the Hobson Grocery company An elevator shaft n the rear of
 
 the building. The infammable material in the second floor burned rapidly and will prove almost total loss.
 Both the Northside and the Southside de- partments responded promptly. hose was run in through the Central of Georgia railroad offices in First avenue, and the flames in the rear of the burning building were fought from the back windows. Two or three more streams played on the build ing from Morris avenue, but 1t was so hemmed in by other buildings. and there were no stairways accessible. and for that reason is was extremely difficult to reach the flames. The firemen fought for half an hour. but were able to accomplish very little the flames in the meantime bursting up through the top of the building.
 It was evident that if the aerial truck was not brought into service at once that the whole building and probably the whole block would be burned. The city is too poor to keep a regular crew for the trucks, and it Is simply held in reserve at the South Side department. Accordingly, the crew of the North Side engine had to be stopped from their work and sent over to the South Side department after the truck, and after it arrived and was put up on Morris avenue, the plucky firemen climbed with their hose and it was not ten min utes thereafter before the flames were held in check. Had the truck been ~ hand as soon as the engines were, it would have been an easy matter to put out the fire before it gained much headway, but with out it the last spark was not extinguished until o'clock. All of the surrounding buildings were carefully examined to see that there was no smolderine fire in them.

THE ATTITUDE OF AMERICA
In Regard to the Cuban Debt Has Not
 Been Shaken.
CRISIS IN THE SPANISH CABINET
Occupies the French Press to the Ex- cluSion of the Fashoda Affair and Their Own Internal Troubles
 Political Situation.

Paris, October 26.-The American peace commissioners held a session of several hours duration today prior to the joint session of the two commissions, which opened at o'clock this afternoon.
 The Americans fully realize that they are approaching the discussion of the chief question entrusted to them, namely, the future of the Philippine islands, and it may be taken for granted that they are well prepared to take the matter up.
 The morning papers here treat of the fall of the French cabinet and the scenes in the chamber of deputies yesterday almost to the exclusion of general news. All of them, however, dwell briefly on the Span- ish crisis or the split in the liberal party of Spain, without, however, direct reference to the Paris peace commission, except in the case of new paper, La Volante, which, in a Madrid article dealing with the internal situation In Spain, sums up as follows:
 Moment Badly Chosen
 "Whatever may be said, one way or the other, regarding the situation, one thing is apparent-that the moment is badly chosen
The age-herald., 1898-10-27

for ministerial crisis When dreadful calamities threaten Spain from the outside and at the same moment when her des- tinies are being decided by the Paris con- ference, and at the moment when her flag Is crushed at Porto Rico the liberal party is in state of chaos and disagreement and in the face of American pretentions, which are daily becoming more arrogant, Spain finds herself with a ministry without authority Never has she needed more im- perativey a strong government, one more watehful or more awake to outside ques- tions. Instead of this, miserable internal quarrels are distracting the attention of those who now ought to have no other pre- occupations than the salvation of their country
 The Matin, closing brief resume of the Spanish crisis says:
 1.-The council deliberated on the customs tariff of Porto Rico, prematurely consider ing it as no longer forming part of Spain." # The Joint Meeting
 f The joint meeting of the commissioners lasted an hour and five minutes, and was adjourned until tomorrow. Both Spanish and American commissioners were more
 
 The Americans fully appreciate not only their own serious responsibilities, but also the delicate position of their Spanish col leagues, to the burden of whose duties there is added the critical political situa- ton at Madrid, which may compel the pres ident sof the Spanish commission (who is also president of the Spanish senate), Senor Montero Rios, to leave Paris.
 !; The Madrid correspondent of the Temps, in confirming the report that Premier Sa- gasta and the queen regent have prevailed npoh the minister of war; General Correa, to Indefinitely postpone his resignation, pending the conclusion of the peace nego- tattons, says that they represented to the general that his withdrawal might entail not only the fall of the cabinet but Cause the resignation of certain members of the Spanish commission, including Senor Mon terolRios, and thereby graveiy compromise the issue of the peace negotiations.
 The Crisis Ayerted
 The correspondent adds: "The net result is that an open crisis seems to have been averted until the conclusion of the treaty of peace. In any case, this has done away with the necessity for an ad interim gov ernment, which was lately suggested as i likely to be the only solution of the present difficulties"
 As the peace negotiations are now near ing the discussion of the Philippines, the Americans feel that no stage of the pro-

 It may not be stated tonight with cer- tainty that the Cuban question has received its last consideration by the Americans, nor the United States refusal to assume any portion of the Cuban debt.
 It may. however. be affirmed that the Philippine question was not reached today, but 1t may be discussed at tomorrows ses- sion, which will be the first occasion dur ing these negotiations of a joint session of the commission being held on succeed ing days, which fact is considered in some degree significant.
 Nearing the Philippines
 Washington, October 2e.-There are in- dications that the peace commissioners in Paris are approaching the end of the con- sideration of the subject of Cuba and For- to Rico, and officials here would not be surprised if today's session of the commis- sion concluded these subjects, leaving the commission free to take up the most im- portant matter in the protocol, namely, the disposition of the Philippines. The Spanish case has been presented with an ability and adroitness that commands the admiration of diplomats without regard to nationality and even our own officials have been compelled to yield tribute of respect to the arguments produced, but they have been of no avail in effect.ng any substantial change in the first. attitude of the American commissioners, who are originally outlined. It is expected here that henceforth after the courteous intimation that has been conveyed to the Spanish commissioners that-it is time to regard the Cuban and Porto Rican matters as settled, better progress will be made towards the final conclusion of a treaty of peace.
