Fire. Monday Night.

The occupants of the Barber block,
on Water street. which was damaged
by fire, Monday night, We're occupied,
yesterday. in looking after their goods
aud making the rooms secure from in
vasion by outsiders. The northeast
corner of the building was badly gut
ted. although from the street there is
practically no signs of the fire.
The cause Of the fire still remains a
mystery. The fire started in Miss
Hebert's millinery parlors but Their
was only a small wood fire in the stove
when she left the store.
No estimate of the losses of the va
rious occupants of the block has been
made. the adjusters of the insurance
companies failing to visit the scene OF
the fire, yesterday. Most of the
no stairs back rooms will have to be
rebuilt. also extensive repairs to the
roof The stock of Miss Hebert is a
total loss. The stock in the front part
of the dive house was done up in pack
ages and placed on the shelves. That
ESCAPED without being wet, though
badly smoked, but the goods in the
back rooms were ruined.

I. Ia TibbettS of this city. who lives
on the Harlow farm oh The belgrade
road, formerly the keeper. of a hotel in
belgrade, met with a loss of $3.50 in
bank notes, Tuesday, and in a manner
that Is Very provoking to him.
lie drove to Belgrade, Tuesday morn
ing, and took the $50 train for Mon
mouth. When aboard the cars. in the
smoker, he took from his inner pocket
some letters and his pocket book. The
letters he laid on the card table, and
the pocket book, containing $3.50 in
bills, several checks and a bank book,
he placed on the seat beside him.
lie became greatly engroSSed in the
reading of the letters and did not notice.
how near Monmouth the train was. I'M
I'll the station was reached. Then h"
hurredly gathered up his letters and
left the train, forgetting in his great
haste, the pocket book.
After dinner, which he took With
Henry Gilman, he purchased a horse.
and it was not until then that he dis
covered his loss
At once the railroad officials in Port
land We're notified. but no traces of the
missing book We're found until nearly
> O'Clock, when Boston & Maine
brakeman found the book. with the
checks and bank book. but the money
was gone.
Mr.. Tibbetts ordered them sent to
Belgrade, and came home rather unde-
cided upon what course to take, in or
der to trace his lost property.

In one Augusta family the Old ia
miiiaf quotation of whats in a
name?" has been changed to What
in a set of whiskers?' The reason for
this cnange is the fact that the father
of the family came near losing his job
al because he hao parted company
with beautiful beard.
He was at work during the receti
storm for Street Commissioner Cottl,.
and when hired he wore d full beard.
That evening he had the beard removed
and when he went to work in the morn
ing, Mr.. Cottle approached him and
SAID: What are you here for? ]

OF course the man was too surprised
to answer at once, but in short time
everything was explained satisfac-
torily.

State Superintendent of Schools "

story recently written by that young
man. In which Mr.. Stetson figured
prominently.
The story is that of the little girl
who asked how many feathers there
were on a hen.
1t seems that Prof. Stetson was in Il
rural town, and when he was talking 20
d rural school, he began to ask them
questions about nature, such as: "HoW
many toes has a hem" ON what jaw
are COW 5 teeth" How do horses and
cows rise after laying down." and
many of that sort that look easy but
are really quite perpeXing.
The next morning little girl called

Protests Against Accepting Indemnity
For Lives of Maine Sailors.
WASHINGTON, March aO.-interest in
the Cuban situation-the interest might
almost be termed excitement so in
tense was it-reached a climax in the
proceedings of the senate Tuesday. AS
on previous days of discussion of the
Cuban question thousands of people
f1ocked to the capitol, only a portion of
whom could gain admission to the gal
/ lerles. Within five minutes after the
senate convened Allen (Ncb.), offered a
resolution recognizing the independ-
ence OF the Cubans. This was followed
by "a resolution proposed by Rawlins
(Utah), declaring war against the king.
dom Of Spain
Foraker CO.,, then introduced a reso.
luton declaring for such intervention
in the Cuban war as would bring about
the independence of the Cubans. Fol
lowing this came a resolution by Frye
(Me.) demanding that Cuba be made
free
This was the condition when the vice
president recognized Mason (uls. for
his announced speech on the presidents
message transmitting to congress the
findings of the Maine court of inquiry.
Mr.. Mason read his speech from manu-
script, but it was delivered with all the
vigor Of which he is capable. The in
tensity Of the feeling of those in the
galleries was evidenced by the storm of
applause, which greeted his declara-
ton that he was for war Vice Presi-
dent Hobart had real difficulty in sup
pressing the demonstration.
Mr.. Mason declared there could be no
peace SO long as a European nation
owns slaves in this hemisphere. He
says it is not necessary for the Maine
court to fix the responsibility. The
law did that. If it was torpedo or a
mine, it was Spanish torpedo or a
Spanish mine. Hence Spain must an.

Spain, but his demand was that the
Spanish flag should be driven from the
western hemisphere. Neither did he
believe that Cuba should be required to
pay an indemnity to Spain.

l AIN STANDS FIRM.
DONS WILL NOT MAKE ANY FURTHER
CONCESSIONS.
May Allow Unlted States to Relieve Starv.
Ing RECOMMENDATIONS Under Certain Con.
dltions-IoDg Cabinet Council Held to
Consider the Situation.

MADRID, March SO.-A long cabinet
council was held late yesterday after.
noon, lasting we'll into the evening, to
consider the reply to be made to the
United States government through
Minister Woodford, to the two notes
sent last week by President Mckinley.
l can state on high authority that al.
though no final res ponse has yet been
made, the Spanish ministers can make
no definite promise to terminate the
war in Cuba. Spain will promise to
relieve the starving reconcentrados to
its utmost ability, and will accept the
cooperation of American relief commit
tees if official and not accompanied by
a naval demonstration that will en-
courage the insurgents.
Spain is also willing to make home
rule in Cnba more complete as an en-
enlargement to peace, but the govern
ment cannot assent to any armistice
which implies passive recognition by
Spain OF the belligerency of the Cubars
nor negotiate publicly or officially with
the rebels, nor enter upon any discus
sion leading to the sale of Cuba or the
independence Of the Cubans.
The financial newspapers, in viewing
the panic in the Madrid and Barcelona
stock markets, speaks frankly and
boldly about the outlook. Without
