WATER SYSTEMS PROVE TO BE
 INADEQUATE.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

DUNSMUIR, July 5.-Fire starting at 2 o'clock this morning in the rear of S. H. Smiths lodging house destroyed two entire blocks, crossing the street and burning the railway library building and section house. The fire was uncon- trollable, owing to a heavy north wind.
 The stationary engine at the machine shop had no steam up, and the three water systems were inadequate to sub due the flames. This is the third time within six months that fire has started in the same place.
 Twenty-Five buildings were destroy ed. Back of the main street the resi- dence portion wac threatened, but the wind changed and saved it. The large carshop building was saved through the vigilant work of Master Car Builder Charles Gill, v-ho had just arrived from clearing the wreck near Kennel.
 There was an explosion of volatile material in the drugstore and grocery store, where were stored tanks of oil and gasoline. The explosion caused consternation among the fire fighters and those trying to escape. Mrs. s. H. Smith was injured, being badly burned about the head and arms.
 The loss is estimated between $50, 900 and $60, 900. w. J. Branstetter, the Dunsmuir Herald, L. Van Fossen, drugstore, and l.. Boylan, dry goods, are the heaviest losers. The entire loss is covered by only s6000 insurance.

PROMOTIONS AND MEDALS FOR THE
 NAVAL HEROES

NEW YORK, July 5.-A Washington special to the Herald says: President Mckinley will send a message to Con- gress some day this week, probably to- morrow, announcing the destruction of Admiral Cervera's fleet and commend ing Rear Admiral Sampson and the of ficers and men under his command to the consideration of that body.
 The reward which will be given to Rear Admiral Sampson will be as great as that given Rear Admiral Dewey. It is proposed that he shall receive the thanks of Congress and be promoted one grade. He will receive a sword and the men under his command will receive medals in commemoration of their services In the battle.
 Rear Admiral Sampson will be called upon to name the officers under his command deserving of promotion and as soon as his report is received some of the officers of his command will be nominated for advancement in their present grades.
 What will be done for Commodore SchleY, who commanded a division of the feet and Commodore Watson, who also was present, cannot now be def- nitely stated.
 It is estimated by the department of f1cials that at least sS90,000 wili be divided among the men.

 CADIz, July 1.-The people are great ly alarmed at the prospects of bonn bardment by an American fleet. All who are able to afford it are leaving town.
 This anxiety was particularly notice able when the news transpired that the Campana Transatlantic Company re- ceived a telegram alleging that Ca- mara was returning. This was popu- larly taken as an indication that Spain was afraid to let them go, preferring to utilize them for coast defenses. The anxiety of the population and the au- thorities is really serious.
 The San Felipe battery Is just getting an extension. One hundred meters have been completed. It has now been decided to run 1t out another 100 meters, placing therein another row of ordi- nary guns.
 The Isla de Luzon is mounting guns for coast defense and will join the coasting squadron, which Is to be formed of the converted transatlantic vessels, the Alfonso XIII, Ciudad de Cadiz and Metero. Daily practice goes on with heavy land guns.
 Dupuy de Lome has left for Madrid. He is very reserved and unwilling to talk, but evidently is seriously appre- hensive, even his ordinary remarks be- ing tinged with no hopefulness. He held long conferences with Senor Ma jera of a serious character, which was kept impenetrably secret.

MANILA TWlNE IS
 VERY SCARCE AND DEAR
Blockade of the Philippines Threat ems to Create a Cordage Dearth
 Throughout the World.

IQrOuSuOuL Iue WoI1u.
 NEW YORK, July 1.-The World says: Admiral Dewey's blockade of the Philip pines threatens to create a cordage dearth throughout the civilized world. It has doubled the price of Manila rope and twine in this country, and by doubling the price of Manila hemp has made fortunes for manufacturers who had large stocks in reserve.
 John Goode, of cordage fame, discussed the situation at the machine works on Park and Washington avenues, Brooklyn.
 Tt will require,' he said, about 150,- OO0. 900 pounds of Manila twine to bind this years wheat crop in the United States. From the closest estimates we can make we find that the present supply of Ma nila hemp outside of the Philippine Islands will be exhausted in three months.
 ''In that event the great Western wheat farms would soon have no binding ma- terial to use in their reapers, and might have to go back to the old-fashioned method of binding their. sheaves with straw. This would be tremendous task miles of territory, and might result in the loss of much of the grain through ex- posture to the weather. Sisal twine, the material for which comes from Mexico, might be substituted in the reapers for the Manila, but the supply of that is limited and would certainly not be suffi- cient to meet the demand. You may gain some idea of the immensity of the de- mand when I tell you the 150 900 900 pounds of twine required this year by the farm CTS would cost them about $1S,000 000. Since the war began the price of Manila hemp has run up from to S15 cents pound D

MDRID, July 5.-spaniards to whom I have spoken say that after all Santiago is not very important, and that it is not yet captured. Further they say the difficulties of Americans by no means have ended, but on the con- trary have only just commenced; that Americans have up to now not met any big force of Spaniards, and that taking Santiago by no means ends the war. but merely is a severe blow. The losses of Americans, both by Spanish bullets and more still by the Cuban climate. is widely commented upon. It Is esti- mated that if the Americans lose 2OOO men in taking Santiago. they will lose five times that number in an attempt to capture Havana

make him an allowance of four dollars
for the purpose of serving the citations
on nonresidents in these delinquent
tax suits that the city was now bring
ing. The judge explained that the
money was needed for stamps and 9th
er sundries. The couEcil ordered the
clerk to draw warrant to the
amount of 81 for the use of the city at
torney.
The next question taken up was that
of the deeds to the triangular piece of
ground where it is intended to build
the new city hall. There was some lit
tie talk on the matter, and then Alder
man Badger made the motion that the
city attorney be instructed by the coun
ell to see that these deeds were signed
and recorded. Motion carried.
Alderman Clifford made q motion
that the city council call for plans and
specifications for the new city hall,
with the stipulation that they must be
handed in by $50 A. NJ. on Monday,
October the 10th, and that with each
set of plans a certified check to the
amount of $500 shall be handed in for
deposit with the city clerk.
The council then adjourned.

Texas Near The Front in Railroad
Building.

The revised reports up to date show
that during the first six months of the
present year there we're 1892 miles of
new railroad built in the United States,
which is an increase of nearly 200 miles
against the corresponding period last
year.
In the column of progress Alabama
is away in the lead, while Texas holds
ninth place in the race for supremacy.
This is a hattering showing for the
Lone Star state, especially when it is
remembered that Connecticut, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont,
Wyoming and the District of Column
bis, all combined, have not built q
single mile of road during the same
period. Taken'by states, the number
of miles constructed during the first
of 1898 are given as follows,
