La CROSSES TERRI B Z FIRE.

<
Visited by the Worst Blaze In Ten
al Years ~
La Crosse, Wis, July 10. - IN the
midst of the hottest afternoon Of the
year the city has suffered the hottest
fire since the historic lumber blaze ten
years ago, although not rivaling it in
destructiveness. 1t broke out Just be-
fore O'Clock in the sash and door
factory Of the Segelke- Kohlaus com
pany, a stone and brick building, most
of it of three stories and covering half
block. This was entirely DESTROYED
with all machinery and considerable
lumber, including a stock of quarter
sawed oak was burned. North Of this
was the John Paul Lumber company's
plant. Most of one block, 300 feet
square, of piled lumber was burned
a half and two million feet, all high
grade stuff. The firemen succeeded in
stopping the flames in this block which
was a remarkable piece Of work.
Across the street east was the Paul
horses. They were all taken out with
harness, but the building, although
iron sheeted, burned to the ground.
NouIh VI IAC AdSlO1y was l1e ~. II.
Coleman plant, and it was saved with
out loss by reason of the south wind.
Flames burst out several times inside
the iron sheeting of the planning mill,
but men were watching and did not
let them get start. James Vincent
had a small lumber shed burned and
Dan Kelly's small house was partly
destroyed. The Segelke-Kohlaus loss
is estimated at $4,000 which is con-
sentative figure; insurance, $4,000.
The John Paul company's loss is esti-
mated at $35, 900, though the condition
of the lumber saved cannot now be de-
termined. He is well insured.

Santiago de Cuba, July 49, Since 4
o'clock Sunday morning a stream Of.
refugees has been pouring into the
city, some naked, all hungry skeletons
and foot-sore. Many had stopped by
the wayside. The town Of Santiago
presents dismal sight Most Of the
houses have been sacked and the
stores have all been looted and moth
ing to eat can be had for love or
money. In the streets of the city, in
the entertainments and at the breast.
works and at every few feet of the
barbed wire fence We're living skele-
tons of Spanish soldiers. Gen.. Pando
was never here, but $500 men from
Manzanillo arrived on July 3, making
the total garrison here 1000. The con-
tact mines in the harbor were moved
the day Admiral Cervera left but two
chains of electris mines, one from Els
trella point and the other from Socapa,
are still down. Four Spanish mer-
chant steamers, the Mortrea, the Reina
de Los Angeles, the Tomos Brookes
and the Mexico and the gunboat AL

by the troops. Twenty thousand refu-
gees are quartered at Ell Caney, 5000
at Firmeza and 5000 at Cuabitas ell
Bonito and San Cincente, where they
have been living for a fortnight. In
one case 500 were crowded into one
building, which was a regular pig sty
with horrible stencil. They used the
water from the river, where soiled
clothing was washed and all manner
Of filth is floating. The Spanish troops
will be camped two miles outside the
city limith under guard until their. en-
barkation takes place. The docks are
crowded by incoming refugees in a
starving condition, awaiting the ar
rival in the harbor of the Red Gross
society's steamer State of Texas, as
there are no eatibles to be bought in
the city. The entrance of the refugees
was quiet and peaceful, they viewing
their wrecked homes philosophically as
the fortune of war. Admiral Samp-
sons last bombardment of Santiago
wrecked fifty-seven houses in the city,
causing heavy damage.

But Is Out of the Hospital and Again
Ready for Duty. .sE
Washington, July ia cablegram
from Playa del Este, Cuba, conveys
the information that Maj. Webb G.
Hayes, of the First Ohio cavalry, son
of the late President Hayes, was
wounded on Friday, July 1, the first
day of'the battle of Santiago. At the
request of Maj. Hayes no mention of
the matter was made in the official dis
patches. His regiment did not partici-
pate in the engagement, being now un-
der waiting orders at Tampa. Mai.
Hayes was detached from his com
mand and assigned to temporary duty
on Gen. Young's staff. While acting
in that capacity his horse was killed
under him and he was wounded. That
his wound was not particularly serious
is indicated by the fact that he is out
Of the hospital and again ready for
duty. ~.

FL impartial says that a member of
the ministry declares that negotiations
for peace with the United States are
Only possible so far as the question of

suicide. The report that Senior Moret,
minister Of the colonies in the last pre-
vious cabinet of Senior Sagasta, will be
the representative of Spain in the ne

without foundation.

Manila, July 10, via Hongkong, July
20.-An important interview has just
been held between Gen. Aguinaldo's
secretary, Segards, and a prominent
native white man, and the Spanish
commander, Capt. Gen. August. The
insurgents representative urged Gen.
August to surrender the city, assert
ing that 5000 insurgents surrounded
Manila and were able to enter it at
any moment. Thus far, they added,
the insurgents had been restrained
with difficulty, but if the Spaniards
continued stubborn the result would be
that the insurgents would be COM
PEELED to lombard and storm the city
with the inevitable slaughter, unpar-
alleled in history, because in the ex-
element of battle they cannot discrim-
mate" Continuing, the captain gen
erals visitors advised him to disregard
the official tictions regarding alleged
Spanish victories in Cuba and rein
forcements coming to the Philippines,
under republican flag and a joint en-
deavOr to persuade Americans to aban-
don hostilities in the Philippine islands.
Finally, the representatives Of the in
surgents proposed an appeal to the
powers to recognize the Independence
of the Philippine islands. The captain
general replied that he must fight,
however hopeless the Spanish cause.
Legarda then returned to Cavite, talk
ing with him the native, who is a pa
rolled prisoner.
Losing Faith in Aguina1do.
The natives inside the city say they
received, fortnight ago, concerted
signal to prepare for storming the
walls. A second signal fixing the date
of the assault has not yet been issued
and they are tired of waiting and are
losing faith in Aguinaldo. The latter,
it is alleged, finds it extremely difficult
to capture the town Notifications. His
previous successes, it is pointed out,
were easy because of the nature of the
country Whici, suited his skirmishers.
1t is further alleged that the principal
points captured by the insurgents were
obtained possession of through strate-
gy. The insurgents are now bringing
artillery around by sea from Malabon,
which it tedious ind troublesome work.
They are also obtaining detailed re-
ports of the condition of affairs from
the inside Of the city. The Spaniards
are daily employing convicts to fell
trees and burn huts on the outskirts Of
the town. Fuslades continue, but
otherwice the position is unchanged
The stock of flour is practically ex-
hausted, but the supplies of rice and
