New York, July 29.-The steamship
Ardanhu. of the Tweeds line. t,adin,
between West Indian ports and this
city' came up the bay TODAY with a
ieaVy list to starboard and the cargo
stored IN her lower hold on fire.
The fire made iJs first appearance at
$3.50 O'Clock ON Monday night, when
the vessel was off Fenwicks island. on
the coast OF Maryland. The widest
excitement followed the outbreak OF
the fire, and several of the IL steerase
passengers, all Jamaicaus, endeayored
to seize the life boats. The third
inaue, Percy Sanders, was forced to
draw his revolver to prevent the men
from the steerage leaving the burning
steamer in the three lfeboats, which
could easily have accommodated the AZ
passengers and members of the crew.
Inc Storage passengers were forced out
OF the boats by Captain Walker and his
men, and when discipline was restored.
preparations were first made for the
saving OF the women and children OF
the vessel. The lifeboats were lowered.
The sea '"as quite calm, and the ships
oihcers stood by the rope ladders. Thus
panic was ave~ted, and the safety of
the 81 persons on board the Ardanhu
assured.
The heat was so intense and the
smoke was so dense for time that it
was unsafe for the passengers to remain
on the upper deck. They were all Or
dered forward, and the women and
children were first put into the life
boats, each OF which had full supply
OF food and water on board, and we're
supplied with compasses and signal
rockets. 1t was nearly midnight when
Captain Walker considered that he had
the fire under control and decided to
continue on his way to New York.
The women and children were taken
back to the steamer, and the lifeboats
were hoisted to the davits, but were
not taken on board.
The officers from that time on kept
watch over the lifeboats to prevent the
i Jamaicans, who appeared terror
stricken, from DESERVING the burning
chip in them.

SPAIN ALREADY PROTESTING,

Violation Of Good Faith.

London, July 29.-The Madrid cor.
respondent OF the Daily Mail says:
Spain will probably protest against an
attack upon Porto Rico after the Wash
ington cabinet has officially received
Spanish overtures for peace. Should a
circular note on this subject be sent to
the powers, it will contain the exact
dates Of the Spanish communications,
making it clear that the United States
deferred its answer in order to be able
to date this after the Americans had
gained footing in Porto Rico. Senior
Sagasta said today:
"We resolved on peace many days
ago and made known our resolutions to
the United States government. l re-
gard as null and v,SI and as destitute
Of good faith everything that the
Americans have done since, and l am
