Last evening the Spanish evacuation COM
missioners cabled the government at Mad

they would be placed if their instructions
fail to arrive by tomorrow. The Alfonso
XIII, however, arrived this morning from
Barcelona, bringing the instructions and
also mail and passengers. Many of the lat
ter are residents of the island who fled at
the outbreak of the war and the quays
were lined with friends waiting to welcome
their return. The Alfonso XIII steamed
into the harbor amid the booming of the
forts and the shore batteries. This after
noon she proceeded for Havana

NEW WESTMINSTER SUFFERS.
Fire Causes Great Destruction and
Possibly Loss of Life.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept. u.-New
Westminster, the chief city on the Frazer
river, presents fearful scene of desolation
to-day, fire having this morning wiped out
the whole of the business portion. There is
not a public building standing in the GEN.
trail portion of the city. Famed by fierce
wind, almost gale, the fire, which was
started on the water side by sparks from a
passing steamer, spreau with such awful
rapidity that ten streets were blazing in
three hours, and only smoking ashes marks
the spot where scores Of houses formerly
stood. Handsome blocks, banks and
churches went up in smoke. The cathedral
OF the diocese is no more. Hundreds of
people are helpless, and relief is being
rushed from this city. Two newspaper Of
fees are gone, as well as the Canadian Pa
cifc Railroad station, three river steamers,
a railway bridge and number of private
houses. 1t is also feared that some lives
have been lost. The telegraph office at
New Westminster has been burned. The
burned city is twelve miles from here.
Returning to Vancouver from New
Westminster is like coming from land of
desolation and ruin to another of smiling
plenty. In New Westminster not stone of
the business houses remains standing. De-
SPAR ana SuuerlnS are the lOI Oh hundreds
of poor, homeless folk. Food, clothing and
aid of all kinds is being dispatched from
Vancouver to the Inflated city At the
time of writing it is not known how many
people lost their lives. but it is feared sew
eral mast have been burned. 1t is said that
Campbell, a fireman. fell from the roof of a
burning building and was killed and a
woman dropped dead from fright Two
other women who were i'll died while being
taken from their homes. The three river
steamers destroyed are the Edgar Gladys
and Bon Accord.
New Westminster to-day is without a store
of any kind, without newspapers and with
out food, save that which is being hurried
over from here. 1t is impossible just now
to estimate the amount of damages but it
ranges up In the hundreds of thousands
Every industry save the big Royal City
planning mills and Glove Canning Company
has been wiped out. Every merchants of
flee has been burned. Bankers. hotel men,
sawmill men, Gamers, merchants of all de-
scriptions have nothing left in which to do
business. The fire was first noticed at
BRAKEMAN 4 Kerr's wharf, on Front street.
From there II spread down to the Canadian
Pacific railway station. 1t did not cross
the street till that point was reached. From
there it went up, taking in the other side

JOY AT SEAVEY'S ISLAND.
Spanish Prisoners Pleased at the
Prospect of Returning Home.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Sept. 1.-THE
Anchor line steamer City of Rome. fully
equipped to transport the Spanish prisoners
to Spain, arrived in the lower harbor this
afternoon The big liner brought from New
York Admiral Cervera, with his full staff
of officers, and ninety-four other prisoners.
The men at Seaveys island, when they
caught sight of the City of Rome, danced
for joy, and tonight there is great>excite-
ment at the camp. Everything is in readi-
ness on board the steamer. <and each of the
1858 men will have bunk for himself
throughout the voyage of about eight days.
1t is expected that the last prisoner will
leave Camp Long at 10 o'clock, and that the
City of Rome will pass out of the harbor
not later than tomorrow noon. The steam
err will be headed straight for Santander
Spain. There is scarcely a sick man among
the entire crew of the late Cape Verde
feet, while every one looks fat and healthy
and in striking contrast to their appearance
of two months ago.

GEORGIA WHITES ALARMED.
Fear Armed Negroes VIII Wreak
Vengeance for a Lynching.

BROOKS STATION. Ga, Sept. 1.-THE
body Of George Burton. a negro who as
saulted Mrs. Coggins. was found this morn
ing at 10 o'clock in the Flint river about
three miles below Digby, riddled with bull
lets. rock weighing several hundred
pounds was tied to it. Burton was arrested
yesterday at Senoya. This morning about
o'clock John Withon, who lives near where
the negro was found, heard several gun
shots and later went down to investigate.
He found on the banks of the river old
pieces of clothes burned and saturated with
blood With the assistance of several
friends Mr.. Withon dragged the river and
found the body. News has just reached
here that two three hundred negroes
were marching to Digby armed with guns
and rifles, swearing vengeance. Mr.. Digby,
a brother of Mrs Coggins, the lady as
saulted has just arrived and verifies this
statement. Every white man in town is
going down well armed. The town is in
much excitement.

one-fourth of all the students that have

Army Women and the Volunteers.
Mont Ilr I attar in Marr York Sun


People who have been predicting all sorts
of wrangles and jealousies between the OIL
GERS of the regular and of the volunteer
regiments could md very little in this camp
to Lear out their prophecies so far as the
men themselves are concerned, but with the
army women it is somewhat different. Third
House is the place where most of the Off
GERS wives stay. They have a table to
themselves and enliven their meals with
army gossip, which occasionally verges
close upon the acrimonious. One can learn
more there of the alleged cliques and polit-
cal pulls and proposed deals and rumored
changes and all the other shop of mill
.tary life in one short hour than in all the
rest of the encampment in a week. There
appeared at the table a few days ago two
women, one young and one old, mother and
daughter, who were here to see the younger
womans husband, officer in one of the
volunteer regiments. Both were handsome
and obviously we'll bred. They were quietly
civil to the army women at the table, all
of whom were strangers to them, but the
civility was scantily returned. When the
two strangers arose and went away one of
the officers wives said:
Does anybody know who they are?"
Those people?" replied another in ac-
cents of supreme contempt Il don't know
their names, but they're nothing but volun-

Block after block caught fire rapidly and in
a few minutes there was nothing left of
what had been the business portion of New
Westminster.
From Columbia street the fire spread up
the hill to huge building built on piles in
a gully bridged by Caravan street. There
was great space under this building filed
with dry seasoned timber The air got i'm

this point the fire spread all around, The

of residences were situated. They all wen
up in smoke. and the inhabitants had to flee
for their lives. The fire swept down Car
navan street and quickly encompassed tho
big brick courthouse and the wooden city
hall. Fortunately there is a big open space
here, and the flames We're not able to lear
far enough to take in the big central school,
Agnes street however. had got alght, and
one side of Royal avenue, all the houses
there being destroyed. The fire gained great
Roadway, owing to the fact that the firemen
lost a great deal of hose by burning This
morning there was no water supply for tn
private use of the burned-out citizens. There
was not a single butcher shop, baker or
provision shop that was not destroyed, ant
there was only one small hotel saved. Tho
Columbian newspaper has not got a single
line of type left. Some of the burned-out
people retired in the early hours of the
morning there was no water supply for the
schoolhouse They covered themselves with
blankets and lay down to sleep. All they
had was lost.
The loss by the fire at New Westminster
is roughly estimated at $2,50O,OOO, with in
surance of $1,5O0OO0. The London Assur-
ance Company is said to be the heaviest
loser. The buildings ten streets were

that was on fire. and which threatened
some very valuable government stores upon
the wharf which were in his charge. This
was illegal-thdt is, unstatutory--on the
part of the officer, who, under the law
should have advertised for bids for hauling
out the vessel. The consequences to him
were very unfortunate. He paid the cap
tain of the tug out of his own pocket, and
a grateful COMMUNICATING Congress-did
not appropriate the money to repay him
until two years had gone by. The medical
department Is hampered and tied up. as all
