We're able to make extraordinary terms
with the Spanish public and impress
arlos. The profession is grateful to
them to-day, now that they are in
their old age, and they are still called
by courtesy the two stars of Spain.
Lasartiio, in particular, was always a
terocious fellow, insisting that the
public should have its full of blood
and excitement.
Nowadays the success Of the fight
ers does not depend so much on the
applause Of wealth and beauty in the
boxes as it does on the fidelity Of the
respectable middle class public in the
reserved seats of the grada, to say
nothing Of the yelling populace on the
stone benches Immediately around the
arena. AS for the modern Spanish
lover, he feels that he is doing a great
deal when he pays the admission price
to the grada for his sweetheart and
her mother. The Spanish lover is,
ordinarily, spoony, and the Spanish
girl is seemingly ordinarily, timid to
degree; the Spanish mother is very
often pretentious, and the whole mid
die class and lower class population
estonishingly democratic and out
spoken.
This, then, is the bull-fght, and the
spirit Of the bull fight audience. The
audience is composed of every type Of
citizen-the respectable and good, as
we'll as the depraved. Little children
suck their oranges contentedly while
the miserable horses are squealing
with pain, their entrails protruding
from their ruined bellies. It seems

Balonzo made q request upon General
Lawton at Santiago that certain Gu.

It is now learned that the matter
was referred directly to President Nc.
Kinley, who responded through Gen.
Corbin that no subsistence or other
stores would be issued to any armed
troops other than those Of the United
States, the law providing that issue be
made only to inhabitants of Cuba who

dores. It is the trade Of these gentle
men-who ride in always, it is said,
half drunk-to see that the bind-folded
horses which they ride are properly
ruined by the bull; it is their trade to
spear the bull with a long lance, to
irritate him, and to save themselves.
They, themselves, are protected on the
legs by iron sheathings. After two Or
four or even eight horses have been
gored and tossed and tumbled, and
are dragged away dead and bleeding,
the trumpet sounds and very differ
ent set of men dash into the wide bull
ring.
These are the banderilleros. Each
one of them has two be-ribboned darts,
like little harpoons, in his hand, which
he must fix in the bulls neck to pain
him, to infuriate him, and to make
him exhibit the agility Of men.
It is a matter of no little skill and
danger; if successful, it almost crazes
the animal, giving him the maximum
of ferocity with the minimum i'of
strength. 1t is also one Of the "pret-
tiest" parts Of the corrido de toros; for
the bull comes on with rush to these
most nimble and courageous banderil-
leros, who often must evade him by a
single inch. Each evasion and each
trick of daring has its name, and is

The central idea of bull-fght, the
Spanish will tell the visitor, is to dis
play the courage ana dexteflty OF men.
1t is acknowledged that the bull is
more than a mans match-the bull
with his strength, ferocity and sharp
horns, and the man alone, armed with
sleder sword. Again, it is essential
that the bull should be killed with but
one single stroke, given while the
swordsman, the espada, faces him.
This stroke must also be delivered in
one special spot, behind the shoulders,
to penetrate the heart. Should it
glance and strike the lungs instead,
so that the bull will drop blood from
his mouth, the audience is disguised,
and expresses its disgust. All this is
delicate and dangerous work, and it

New Orleans, Feb. 9.-Cotton-The
course of the market for the past
few days clearly demonstrates the
danger in selling cotton at or below
the cost of production, no matter
how large the crop may be. Liver

spots, selling $1,000 bales. Gables
stated the course of that market
would be overned entirely by the
spot demand. II is well to watch
this closely, for it is our belief that
if spinners show less disposition to
buy on the present large scale our
market will break sharply. Con-
tracts in this market opened un-
changed, but shortly after there was
a scramble to cover on the part OF
shorts and prices shot up 10 points
in a very few minutes. This caused
buying orders to come IN from every
direction and May contracts were
carried up to 5.77, or p points highcr r
than yesterday. The short interest
proved larger than generally be-
lieved, but the advance of today hiss
forced weak bears to cover, and the
most conservative operators are of
the opinion that the rise has been
too rapid and a reaction tomorrow
is more than likely. The large spot
demand continues, as evidenced by
the large sales here and in most
southern markets today. We advise
our friends to take profits on all
bulges, as we are inclined to believe
this advance is only temporary. The
reaction in our market towards the
close was due to profit taking on the
long side.

FIRE AT FORT WORTH
The Pride OF the City In Ashes-The
Elegant Hurley Building and the
Dreyfus store DESTROYED.


mense dry goods establishment
of Ed. Dreyfus & Co. was dis
covered to be on fire.
When first seen the interior
was mass of flames and smoke
and so intense was the heat
that before an alarm could be
turned in the huge glasses i'll
the rear and second story front
were being burned out and the
flames licking the walls.
Never before has a fire oc-
Cured in Fort Worth which
sent out such heat and so soon
as did this one.
The entire inside on all three
floors was of that lnfiamable
material which flashes up like
a powder magazine.
The building was a three
story brick, bounded on the
south by the seven story Hur-
ley building and on the north
by the three story Maddox &
Ellison furniture house.
Just prior to the discovery
something of an explosion is
said to have been heard. and
following it pedestrians saw the
flames.
$40 a. m.-The pride of Fort
Worth structures, the Hurley
building, is doomed.
The fire burned the windows
and caught in the elevator shaft
and is gradually eating its way
throughout the interior. beyond
the power of firemen to control.
The Hurley building cost $125,-
600, and is the property of Will
liam Butler, trustee for the
Simpson heirs in Boston. The
building was fought four years
ago for $75, 200.
The Dreyfus building was
owned by Tom Jennings and
cost $4,000. Insurance men
say Dreyfus carried $4,000 Oh
stock. The building was in
sured for $4,000 or $4,000.
The Hurley building contain
ed the Fort Worth and Denver
general offices on the sixth and
seventh floors. The other
floors contained offices, nearly
all of which were occupied, and
the lower floor was occupied by
the Farmers and Mechanics
bank.
No evidence is obtainable as
to the origin. only that it was
off like a bunch of racers.
4:35 a. m.-The fire is now
confined to the walls of the
Dreyfus and Hurley buildings
that were. Unless the flying
debris ignites other buildings
there is practically no further
danger.
Never has Fort Worth suffer
ed such a loss by fire before.
The sight was grand, yet horri-
ble to gaze upon. and not fit
ting end to a day of festivity
such as yesterday was.
