HOMING PIGEON SERVICE.

While the results of the homing-pigeon
service have not been as satisfactory as
wished. especially at Key West, near the
seat of war, yet Capt Bradford says this
may have been due to the climate and
the want of an experienced man to care
for the birds, so he recommends further
trial of the system.

WASHINGTON. May 0.-Interest at
Washington today centered in the eN-
pected battle between the United
States naval force under Rear Admiral
Sampson and the Spanish vessels COM
monty known as the Cape Verde squa-
dron.
The statement that news of an en-
gagement at sea would probably be
received by Thursday indicates the eX-
pectaton that Admiral Sampson will
meet the Spanish fleet off the Porto
Rico coast. The Navy Department
does not appear to be at all sure that
the enemys vessels will not run past
San Juan in the eastern end of the
island of Porto Rico and evade the di-
vision of armor clads personally COM
manded by ADMIRAL Sampson, push on
to Havana, and meet the unarmored
craft engaged in maintaining the
blockade under the direction of Com
modore Watson.
If the enemy has any such intention
in view. ii is probable he will be en-
countercd by Admiral Sampson tomor-
row or the next day in the stretch of
water between the eastern extremity
of the Island of llayti and the ives
ternmost point of Porto Rico.
NEW YORK. May 0. Expectation is
manifest at the Navy Department that
something important is to happen
soon. II is surmised that if Sampson
does not strike the Spanish flying
squadron he may strike Il blow at
Porto Rico itself. 1t is a curious fact
that thus far the Navy Department
does not know positively where the
Spanish fleet is. and it is just posi-
Bile that the vessel may be away over
on the other side of the Atlantic. or
at Cadiz, instead of being in Samp-
sons neighborhood in the West In

WASHINGTON. May "a promi-

credits the presence of the Alfonso

\ BLAZE AT MIDNIGHT.
Hackfeld d Co.'s Warehouse Quilted
by Fire

\ fire broke out in the merchandise
warehouse of IL. llacRfeld q Co., Just
about midnight last night. The prin-
cipal damage was caused by water,
with which the place was deluged by
three engines and a hose from the
steamer Cape Otway, lying at the Pa
citic Mail wharf.
The alarm was sounded at - sharp
1t was turned in from the Pacific Mail
wharf At that time smoke was is
suing in great clouds from the Hack
field warehouse. Immediately in the
rear. No. engine was the first to re-
spond. The chemical followed and
No. > arrived last. It took the en-
gines some time to get up steam.
In the meanwhile fire hose from
the Cape Otway had been dropped in
to the bay and let down through the
roof of the burning building. With
steam from the vessel a pretty fair
stream was pumped upon the fire,
The chemical engine was the first
from the town side to get TO work. It
soon had the fire practically under
control. The work of the other en-
gines was confined to putting water
upon the smoldering heaps of mer-
chandise in the room.
The loss which will reach in the
neighborhood of $4,000 is fully COW
cred by insurance. Goods damaged
consist of groceries of all kinds, wool,
paper salt, and household furniture
and wares. \ small lot of cotton in
packages, which took fire almost i'm
mediately, was removed to the street.
Chief Hunt states that the fire may
have originated in several different
ways. The most plausible theory seems
to be that the blaze started under the
building from cigar or cigarette
thrown upon the ground and blown
| through a ventilator The wind was
very high at the time.
