SCHONEMAN BURNS.
Another Big Building Destroy
ed by Fire in Chicago.

Chicago, March 21.-F'ire this after
noon destroyed the seven story struc-
ture known as the Schoneman building
Several people made their way to the
street down the fire escapes. The ele-
vator boy made a trip to the upper
floors and is believed to have perished.
1t is not believed any other lives were
lost
The burned structure was located be
tween two of the taIlest sOcalied SKY
scraper'' buildings in ChicagO-the Old
Colony and the Manhattan. Both are
fire proof and neither was damaged but
there was much excitement among the
occupants. Great crowds of people as
sembIed in the adjoining streets expect
ing to witness q. recurrence of last
weeks Wabash avenue fire horror but
the prompt work of the fremen and the
substantial character of the Old Colony
and the Manhattan sky scrapers COM
bined to make an effectual preventive.
About a dozen firms, including book
binderies and similar concerns, were
burned out.

With that understanding they will
agree to an armistice, while the good
offices of the United States are employ
ed in arranging an indemnity and
other details under which Spain
might be Willin to withdraw
her troops and abandon the is

circuit, is the phrase applied to the final
efforts to make terms with the insur-
gents. It does not go fast enough to
travel Probably the best thing for all
parties is to have the failure of the
attempted negotiations with Gomez

success. this could only come through
double dealing.

blood poisoning and the doctors have
found it necessary to use the knife to
relieve his sufferings.
They told him that he would need six
months of absolute rest to regain any
sort of physical trim. While his pres
ent condition was undoubtedly hast
ened by the training for his battle with
Sharkey, it is plainly the result of the
sapping of the system by continued
conditioning for battle It began to
tell on Choynski about three weeks
ago, just previous to his last battle.
He said nothing about his ailment un-
til after the contest when he was so
weak that he could hardly stand 1t is

GATHERING AT HALIFAX
England is Assembling Naval Vessels
in America.

Halifax, N. s., March 21.-The swift
torpedo boat destroyer Rocket has just
been ordered to this station from Eng
land and will arrive here shortly. The
announcement of her coming has caus-
ed much comment in naval circles.
The cruiser Indefatigable is also ex-
pected to arrive here soon, coming from
the West Indies at least two months
ahead of the date at which the British
North American squadron returns from
its winter cruise. It is said the Inde-
fatigable is coming in order to arrange
the warships mOOring in the harbcr and
put down new ones, but that is work
that could be performed without her
presence here.
The naval authorities in Halifax seem
to expect unusual activity on this sta
tion very soon. Some regard it as due
to the modern ideas of Admiral St John
Fisher, while others think that the cris-
is in the situation between the United
thewarships' mOOringsi in the harbOr and
do with the present movements.

FIRE AT WASHBURN.
a. Little Blaze at the College Caused
Some Excitement This Afternoon.

The fire department was called to
Washburn college by a telephone mes
sage about l o'clock. The chemical en-
gine and hose wagon from headquar-
ters responded. An outhOuse, shed and
about 25 tons of coal We're consumed.
The chemical engine only could be used,
as the college is out of the fire district
and a line of hose long enough to reach
from the nearest fire plug could not be
laid. Part of the coal was saved.
It was first stated that the buildings
caught fire from a lighted cigarette be
ing thrown carelessly into one of the
buildings, but as the sheds were in the
rear of Holbrooke hall, the girls dor
mitory, this is not thought to be the
cause by the college authorities, and it
is thought the fire started from spon-
taneOus combustion.
