WINCHESTER, Ind, April A.-At an
early hour this morning fire destroyed the
high school building, together with all fur
niture, apparatus and valuable library of
1,4OO volumes, entailing loss of 1000 to
$4,000 with only $4,000 insurance on build
ing and 1000 on furniture and apparatus
Among the other apparatus burned was
about 5000 worth belonging TO Prof. Baker,

chasing for the past fifteen years. The

the library was priced both on account of
it's utility and the fact that many of the
volumes were contributed by the late Gen
Tom Browne and Gen. A. Stone.

WASHINGTON, April A.-While there is
every reason to believe that Secretary Sher-
man contemplates retirement from the
Cabinet at no very distant date the indica-
lions now are that the change will not take
place Immediately. He declined to discuss
the question to-day, indicating there was
more in the newspapers concerning his in
tentions than was justified by the facts.
There is no doubt, however, that the

a vacancy in the secretaryship of state he
would favorably consider invitation to

Minnesota senator's reason for taking this
position is the fact that he prefers his posi-
ton in the Senate and considering himself
reasonably sure of a reelection has decided
to remain where he is.

independence of Insurgents Feature

WARRINGTON, April Alt is the eXpec-
tation in the Senate that the week will be-
gin with the receipt of a message from the
President asking Congress shall make a
formal declaration of war, and that there
will be a quick response to the request.
There has been some apprehension that
there might be a renewal of the effort to
secure a recognition of the independence of
the Cuban insurgents in connection with
the war declaration, but the best informa-
ton now is that this will not be undertaken
and there will be practically no opposition
in the Senate to war resolution. 1t is
a suggestion on the part of some of the
members of the committee on foreign rela-
tions that it will not even be necessary to
refer the Presidents message to the COM
mittee when received, but that resolution
can be Immediately introduced and passed.
II this suggestion should not prove practi-
cable, the committee will report promptly.
The Senate will resume consideration of
the naval appropriation bill at the earliest
moment The only disputed point undis-
posed of in connection with the naval bill
is the provision in regard to the price Of
armor. which Senators Tillman and Butler
are making an effort to have reduced from
500 to $500 after the three battle ships now
building are supplied. Both these senators
and probably others VIII make speeches in
support of this amendment, and the debate
viii in all probability be quite sharp 1t
does not appear probable that the amend
ment will be accepted by the Senate. The
Senate also will take up the army reorgan-
ization bin as soon as it can be reached aft
er It is reported from the committee on mil
itary affairs, by which it will be given
prompt consideration. The committee will
also take cognigance of the supposed de-
fects in the volunteer army bill with view
to correcting them If found as serious as re-
ported. This bill has been investigated by
some Of the best lawyers of the Senate. and
most of them express the opinion that it is
not defective. 1t is not believed that the

from the Senate this week. owing to the
