De Velasco's statement, the sickness in

70 to % per cent.
On the other hand, the Cubans there
are in great restitution. For some time
they had no beef Most of the forces

forty men, who find it easier to pro-

numbers than when in larger compa-

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Fire broke
out shortly after o'clock this after
neon at Per 80, East River, Brook
Ign, and did damage to the amount Of
$500, 900
Pier 80 adjoins the naval stores of
George l.. Hammond, extending from
Coffee to Walcott streets. AT Pier SO
the fourmasted British ship Andoren-
ha was discharging a cargo composed
principally of jute, shelac and raw silk.
A north wind famed the flames fierce
ly. and in a few minutes the water
front for four blocks, extending from
Van Dyke to Walcott was ablaze.
Three alarms and special calls were
sent out, bringing to the scene of the
confiagration all the fire apparatus in
the lower half of the city, together with
four fireboats from Manhattan and two
belonging to Brooklyn. Heavy black
smoke settled over East River as far
as Long Island Sound, and extended
over the lower part of Brooklyn, SO
that it became necessary to light lamps
in business houses.
Among the heaviest losses is that of
George T. Hammond, owner Of the
naval stores, which is estimated at
F. w. Roberts of Liverpool, and valued
at $500, 900. She was consigned to
Rail- Brothers, commission merchants.
The blazing vessel was lowed down to
the Gowanus flats, and probably will
prove a total loss. The Brooklyn
Wharf and Warehouse Company, ac-
cording to the best estimates, will lose
$4,000.

tonight stated that a number of the
employees of the Hammond stores said
that the fire started in the hold of the
Andorhena. So rapidly did the fire
spread that the sailors aboard the craft
were compelled to jump into the water
to save themselves.
The German-American stores had
900 bales of cotton and $500 bales of
jute stored in pier 80, all of which was
destroyed. The names of the owners
of this could not be learned.
