Were For Same Fire and
Caused a Mix Up.
Thlrty-NIne Horses Were iu II.
but All We're Taken Out.
ONE SHOT TO END ITS SUFFERING

Shortly after midnight three alarms
were rung in from different boxes for
the same fire. all of which naturally
caused great deal of confusion to the
fire department. The first alarm was
from box AS. which is located at Chalk
stone and Douglas avenues; the second
was from box 81. at the corner of Olney
and Brown streets. and finally officer
Blake rang in from box 13l, at Benefit
and Halsey streets. which was the right
one. the fire being in the stable of Syl-
vanus Warren at the corner of Olney
and Pratt streets.
The fire was first discovered by a
person on the street, who called the at
stention of Patrick Kenney. the night
watchlnan. to flames that were issuing
from the second story Of the building
He went upstairs and found the hay
burning, and endeavored TO stamp out
the fire, but IL got beyond his control,
and he ran down again and shouted TO
somebody to send in an alarm. and then
he devoted his entire attention to saw
ing the horses. BY the time the fire.
men arrived the flames had gained
great headway, and, In spite OF their
excellent work. the building was de-
stroyed, nothing but the outside walls
being left standing.
A large crowd soon collected and
many persons aided Kenney in rescuing
Cameron rendering very valuable as
sistance. There were 80 horses In the
stable at the time and all of the ami
mails were saved except one. that had
to be shot on account of its injuries.
Another valuable horse, which was
taken TO a barn across the street, is
quite badly burned about the body and
flames or smoke have entered the lungs
the animal will recover. A mule was
also painfully scorched, but will come
out all right. IL In believed.
Nearly all the harnesses were saved
and no wagons or trucks were burned
up. but the barn was pretty well filled
with hay and feed, all of which were
destroyed. AS the horses were turned
loose some OF them wandered quite
distance, two being found on East ave-
nue., Pawtucket, two hours later.
MIR. Warren and his foreman. William
Lee. were notified and were soon on
hand, and found that all the hay and
feed were In ashes. Mr. Warren esti-
mates his loss on the building at about
$4,000 and considers that other losses
VIII amount to about $1,000, making a
total Of about $4,000. II is only partly
insured. The house next door to the
stable on Olney street Is leased by Mr..
Warren. and sublet TO Patrick Lanigan.
and this was also touched by fire and
damaged TO the amount OF about $500,
some caused by water.
During the confusion some persons
rushed into Mr.. Lanigan's tenement
under the pretence of aiding him to
Save his property; but. as a matter of
fact. somebody took his gold watch
irom the pocket of his vest Mr.. War
rem had occupied the barn for IL years.
vnd he says there will be practically no
to his business OF team
ing. as the horses and wagons are all
right. No clue to the origin OF the fire
mas yet been furnished.

MORE TROOPS FOR CUBA.
Fifteen Regiments at Chickamauga
Receive Orders For Service.

Chickamauga, Chattanooga National
Military Park, Ga, June 26.-It is no
longer a question that a large force OF
troops are about to be ordered from
Camp Thomas to the front. An order
was issued by command of Major Gen
eral Brooke today, which virtually
amounts to an order of 10 regiments to
Cuba.
In accordance with this order, the
first division of the First corps and
two brigades of the second division OF
the same corps will form an expedition
airy force, and ordered to be Immediate
ly prepared and equipped for active
field service. The following brlgadeS
are included in this order:
First brigade-Commanded by Cen
eral Ernst, and composed of the Eighth
Massachusetts, Third Wisconsin and
Fifth Illinois.
Second brigade-Commande by Cen
eral Sager and composed of the Fourth
Ohio Third Illinois and the Fourth
Pennsylvania.
Third brigade-Co Commanded by Cen
eral Wiley, and composed of the Six
teenth Pennsylvania, Second Wiscon-
sin and First New Hampshire.
Second division-First corps, first bril-
gade, commanded by Colonel Gardner,
and composed OF the Thirty-first Mich
igan, One Hundred and Sixty-elghIh
Indiana and First Georgia.
Second brigada-Commande by Cen
eraI Mckee, and composed of the First
West Virginia, One Hundred and Fiji
tieth Indiana and Twelfth New York.
The order does not specify just when
these troops will go forward, or to what
point they will be sent for embarkation,
but it is understood that they will go
to Tampa for direct departure for Cuba.
That the order means an almost imme-
date move, was signified by the gen
eral rush this afternoon. The ordnance
department received large stores, in
Guiding Springfield rifles and other
equipments sufficient to complete the
fitting out of 20 regiments. As soon as
the stores arrived they were rushed to
the various regiments for which they
were intended.
The order was received with enthu-
siasm among all the regiments affected
BIZ it.

New York, June 27.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: In
view of the increasing frequency with
which rumors of possible peace condi-
lions are entering into the discussion
of semi-official and inspired European
journals, considerable significance is
attached to the statement by a mem
Der of the cabinet that no proposition
would be for a moment entertained by
the United States at this time which
did not involve SPANS absolute relin-
punishment of sovereignty over Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippine islands.
The probable attitude of the United
States to these former colonial posses
sions OF Spain in the future, this au
thority declined to discuss, but in his
opinion the complete eradication of
Spanish influence and interest, so far a S
these islands are concerned, had al
ready become a foregone conclusion,
and the United States would not at any
time hereafter permit Spain to enter
into any negotiation regarding them.
Regarding the ultimate terms of
peace which the United States may find
it necessary to exact in case the eX-
penSlve conflict is prolonged many
months, involving the necessity of eX-
tended American operations against
the peninsula itself or its closer CO.
lonial establishments, only the most
indefinite. discussion is just now in
dulged Il.
The irretrievable loss to the Span
iards of their last American foothold
as well as of their ill-governed estab-
lishment in the Pacific, has been
brought about by the United States,
reluctant to be laid open to the accu-
sation of any desire for territorial ag-
grandiZement. - suggestion of in
the ultimate disposition of the West
Indian islands or the Philippines is
sure to be repealed by the United States
in the most unequivocal and decisive
manner.
The officials of the state department
exhibit confidence, apparently based upon
in reality less to expect from one or two
European nations than is warranted by
the Interpretation put upon various state
mentS attributed 10 leading men or pub
lished in papers having the Shaky reputa-
ton of tremendous inspiration. and little
concern is now displayed in this country
over the emanations from sources which
have been more than once discredited in
the last six months. The persistence with
which the Spaniards have been trying to
make capital out of the unfriendly eX-
presSions in certain European localities,
considered to be commercial rivals of the
United States, has ceased to be regarded
as more than amusing, or in some recent
instances perhaps pathetic.

ARMY WAITING FOR SUPPLIES
BEFORE MAKING THE ASSAULT
General Wheeler With $500 Troops, Is Within Plain Sight
of the Spanish ForificatiOnS.

Dandy, Off Juragua, Saturday. s pm.
| (via Kingston, Jamaica, Sunday, June
&c, $3.50 p.m.)-The troops of the United
States and Spain are almost face to
face and less than four miles apart.
Tonight the picket lines at certain
points are within hailing distance of
the enemy. 1t seems certain that the
battle of Santiago must come within
a week. The troops are all ashore
here and at Baiquiri, with the excep-
ton of few scattered companies that
have gone forward. The supplies are
sufficient to enable the army to sus-
tain weeks campaign at both land
quired supplies will all be ashore by
Tuesday. the 2Sth.
General Shafter said to a CORE
spondent of the Associated Press to-
day:
Il am we'll satisfied with the progress
that is being made. The disembark-
alton is slow, but considering the linn
of the landing places, the men have
done well. 1 only await the landing
of sufficient supplies to begin the
movement on Santiago. l am unable
to say when it will take place. 1 am
much pleased at the gallant conduct of
the men in the action at Sevilla yes
terday and with their cool and veteran
like work. The victory was COM
plete.'
TWENTY-FIVE KILLED.
General Wheeler, in his official re-
port, places the number of dead in
the engagement at Sevilla as % and
the wounded as between 20 and so.
The majority of the American troops
are now here, or at the front in the
vicinity of Sevilla. The force at the
latter place, which is about nine miles
from Santiago, numbers 5000 Amer
leans and 1,50O Cubans. General
Wheeler is in command there, with
Generals Young. Lawton and Chaffee.
General Wheeler will remain at Sc
villa, which will be made a rendezvous
for the troops landing at Baiquiri and
at this point, the artillery and cavalry
being put forward from Baiquiri. The
cavalry have been sent ahead to cut
a way through the underbrush.
From the American position at Sc
villa, Santiago is plainly visible and
the fortifications can be seen.
The following reports to General
Shafter from generals at the front
show these conditions:
ITO General Shafter-I have just
seen two negro boys who left Santiago
this morning Saturday.. They report
that the soldiers and citizens are very
short of food. The soldiers and Off
GERS have seized all the food in the
shops. They are killing young horses
for food and in the hospitals are sub
sisting on bread made of rice flour.
THE Spanish generals took part in
the fight at Sevilla yesterday. Five
wagonioads of wounded were carried
into Santiago and many other wounded
got there on foot. We can see MORO
castle and the flag very distinctly from
our position. The Cubans confirm the
reports as to the fine character of the
Notifications around the city. Seven
lines Of barbed wire are stretched
about the trenches. The Spaniards
have recently dug deep trenches

American troops are now within four
miles of Santiago de Cuba. Two
brigades of Brigadier General Lawtons

Two miles further in front of the
American forces, and occupying the
roadstead to Santiago, is a force Of
1,500 Cubans under General Carlos
Gonzales.
The entire Cuban army, under di-
rection of General Calixto Garcia, is
marching for a cooperative attack on
Santiago. Garcia, with 5000 Cubans,
is expected from the interior before
nightfall, while from Acerranderos.
two miles 10 the west of Santiago, ?, 600
CubanS arrived today.
There are no Spaniards in the entire
country between Baiquiri, where most
of the American troops were landed,
and Santiago. The retreat of the en-
envy, after yesterdays battle, appar-
emily became a rout, which did not
end until the Notifications around the
city were reached. The transport Leon
today brought to Juragua from Acer-
raderos nearly 1000 insurgents, who
are armed and plentifully supplied
with ammunition. They are part of the
army of General Garcia and have been
sent to the front to join the insurgents
already occupying the roads to San
tiagO.

Chicago, June ga cablegram from
London to the Tribune says: The
Daily Mails special from Kingston
says: The latest advices from San
tiago state that the bombardment by
the Americans was unsuccessful. 1t
extended miles along the coast and
lasted several hours.
The Americans reported two Spanish
torpedo boats damaged and the Reina
Mercedes sunk in the harbor.
The Iowa got close under the forts
and received a shell from the Vizcaya,
which killed the captain, Fighting

demolished the tower.
Washington, June 26.-The story
printed by an.English newspaper of the
killing of Captain Bob" Evans and
some of his men in the coming tower
of the Iowa by shell from the Span
ish cruiser Vizcaya, is pronounced at
the navy department to be a cruel
canard. No word has been received
from Sampson today, and with a cable
line near him, it is not expected for a
moment he would fail to report an &C.
currence of such gravity.

Tupelo, Miss, June ga railway &C
cident occurred at this place at $40
this afternoon, in which four members
of Colonel Torrey's regiment of rough
riders, from Cheyenne, Wyo., lost
their lives, and others received fatal in
juries.
The accident occurred on the Kansas
City, Memphis & Birmingham railroad.
The first section had stopped to take
water and had whistled to start on,
when the second section rounded the
sharp curve in the track just before
the town is reached, and dashed into it.
The rear of the first section was the
sleeper Seville containing Colonel
Torrey and his regimental staff. This
car was completely demolished, yet,
strange TO say, every inmate escaped
unscathed, except the colonel, who is
injured, though not seriously.
The chief fatalities occurred in a
coach which stood in the center Of the
first section, which carried troop G,
from Laramie, Wyo. This coach was
completely telescoped and the soldiers
within were damned and bruised be-
meath masses of timbers, broken car
seats and other debris.
In the second section one baggage

this train few were hurt, and none
seriously. 80
Immediate action was taken by the
soldiers to save their imnerilled com
rades, and, with axes and ropes and
buckets of water, they worked like
demons, tearing away the wreckage to
get at the wounded and dead and
quench the fire which had started in
the sleeper Seville, which was mass
of broken wreckage, covering a steam
ing. Kissing engine.
The wounded were removed to a va
cant building in Inc town.
The sections contained troops A, c.,
E, L, G and NJ, forming part of a regi-
ment being transported to Jackson
vile. Fla. 1t is the Second United
States volunteer cavalry, and was
raised by Colonel Torrey, it's COM
mandef, in the Rocky mountain re-
gion, including the states of Wyoming,
Colorado, Idaho, Nevada and Utah.
The soldiers killed and mortally
wounded are from the first named
state.
The fault of the accident probably
lies with Engineer Rawls, of the sec
ond section. He has disappeared. The
soldiers have threatened to lynch him.
Not a horse was injured, although
several of the stock cars were badly
smashed.
