Disease makes a man Just as helpless
as If he were tied with ropes. Weary
lassitude makes his muscles useless-slug-
gish circulation of impure blood fills his
brain with useless clogging matter. Eff
fort is distasteful and brings scant results.
The trouble usually starts with the diCes-
ton. Too much brain work takes neeacd
blood from stomach to head and retards
the stonach's work. The body is not
fed. The nerves rebel. Sleep becomes
stranger. Loss of appetite is followed
by loss of flesh-and all for the want of
the right medicine at the right time. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is for
the man who is losing flesh and vitality.
II is for the man whose digestion needs
help and whose nerves and brain are
oVerworked. 1t is the greatest of all
tones No matter what seems to be your
trouble, the Golden Medical Discovery
Will cure 1t. 1t cures by making the
blood pure, rich and plenty, and by fur,

ing building was a large lumber struc-
ture, and all around it were frame
buildings, dry as finder. ready to burn
as fast as fury. The American hotel,
that was where the fire started, was
in a mass of flames. The heat was un-
bearable and the herculean efforts of
the people counted for nothing. From
up the canyon came stiff breeze that
added fury to the blaze.
A FORLORN HOPE.
Down the east side of Main street the
fire bore swiftly and furiously, taking
Judge. Ivers & Keiths livery stable,
the Park Opera House and Shields
Bros. store. Every one hoped and be-
lieved that the towering brick walls of
the magnificent new Grand Opera
House would stay the progress of the
flames. But it was a forlorn hope.
Before the terrorized people knew it,
the fire had consumed the Grand Opera
House and was rushing madly on down
the street, famed by the breeze that
was now a brisk gale. The wind was
not content with keeping its course.
but veered both ways. carrying sheets
of fame backward and 20 the west side
of Main street and eastward to China
town and the scores of fine cottages on
Rosie hill.
Now the people were panic stricken.
They flew for their lives before the
awful tongue of flame fully 800 feet
across. If one side of Main street was
not burning more furiously than the
other it was because the wind was mo-
mentarily wreaking it's vengeance on
the east, only to return to the west
with fury for its apology for apparent
neglect. The big Ascheim store build
ing, the Methodist, the Congregational,
Episcopal and Mormon church edifices,
the Conner house, the Park Record Of
hce, the postofice. the FAirst National
bank building and the adjacent fire
proof structures, the city hall, Park
City hotel, stores, saloons. butcher
shops, offices, restaurants, residences
all went up in the seeming twinkling of
an eye, so short was the time. Again
and again buildings were blown up by
giant powder to create a gap over
which the fire would not leap, but the
demon only laughed at the puny effort
and reached out its redeemed tongue
further to destroy.
THE BURNED DISTRICT DE-
SCRIBED.
At last the wind had spent its force
There was little left to burn The de-
struction was complete. When it was

Dandy, off Guantanamo, Saturday,
June IS (via Kingston, Jamaica, Sun
day, June 19.-Cuban scouts report to-
day that the inhabitants of Caimanera
have strewn the streets with straw and
oil, with the intention of destroying the
city and fleeing to the hills.
Caimanera lies four miles up the bay
from Camp McCalla, under the guns of
the American ships, and the situation
is desperate. Starving and famine
stricken, convinced of the ultimate
triumph of the American arms, and
without faith in the protection of the
Spanish soldiery. the people are be-
lieved to have determined to leave
their houses in ashes behind them and
seek safety in the hills of the north
The scouts declare that the story is
accurate, and say that every building
of the town is being rapidly prepared
for the torch.
The situation of the besieged is a
fearful one. The people are eating
horses and mules and are securing the
hills for fruits and herbs. Occasion
ally brief bombardments by the Amer
lean fleet leave the helpless citizens
terror-stricken, no preparations for de-
tense being made. 1t is also stated
that the Spanish gunboat at Caima-
nera has been loaded with inflamma-
bles and will be burned with the city,
her commander declaring that she will
never become an American prize.
The scouts also say the Spanish SOL
dierS are in almost as complete q state
of panic as are the civilians and that
they could easily be induced to sur
render Some of the prisoners taken
by the marines also say they believe
the Spanish troops are, on the verge of
surrender, owing to the lack of food.
SPANISH ATTACK.
Captain McCalla of the cruiser Mar
blehead, and Lieutenant Colonel Hunt
ington, in command OF the marines,
are not so sure, however, of the re-
ported Spanish rout. They received
information yesterday that a general
attack by a force of $500 Spanish SOL
diers and guerillas on Camp McCalla
is contemplated within night or two.
Preparation was made for an assault,
When the Associated Press dispatch
boat Dandy arrived in Guantanamo
the hills about the marine camp were
brilliant under the shifting rays of the
of the Marblehead, Dol
phin and Scorpion, and the marines are
lying in the rifle pits at the guns, ready
and anxious for battle, but the night
passed without the firing of a shot.
The same watchful care was exercised
today, as Captain McCalla is convinced
that an attack is likely to occur at any
time.

Lighting Fire With Coal Oil Causes the COnflagratiOn
No Lives Lost Many Narrow Escapes.

A cruel fate has overtaken Park City.
Utah's once proud and prosperous
mining town is desolate and in ruins.
Following the business depression of
five years ago came the failure of the
Park City bank: then there was a gen
eral reduction in miners and millmen's
wages.
Instead Of the expected revival, the
misfortune came last year of the clos
ing down of the great Ontario and Daily
mines and mills. Many of the good
people of the town We're thus thrown
out of employment and compelled to
seek elsewhere fer work. Now all is
gone. and the industry of years is
licked by the demon flame. The hope
for the future is small. Only the re-
sumption of work at the Ontario and
DAILY and a general mining revival Will
warrant the rebuilding OF the destroyed
city. The only mainstay the remnant
of Park City now has is the employ
ment given by the Silver King Mining
company.
The story of the fire is the relation
OF a sad chapter. Seventy-five business
building and a hundred happy, coy
homes have gone up in smoke. More
than a hundred families, fully 500 souls,
are homeless, penniless and dependent
upon charity for life's necessities. and
without hope for the future The money
loss is appalling. 1t will range upwards
of 100000, whereas, in more prosper
Gus times the same property was worth
double that figure. The insurance is
insignificantly small. The aggregate is
but little more than 100000 Recently,
as fire insurance risks have been expir-
ing: the companies have declined to re-
new, saying that it was the intention to
retire from TIE Park City field. AN of
the agencies have continued to write
risks. but at SITTER rates and on a
basis Of shrinking values. The Dremf-
I'm rates ran from to 10 per cent per
annum on the lumber buildings AID
their contents. The rate on the brick
and stone buildings was as low as 212
per cent.
STORY OF THE GREAT FIRE.
When at 4:9O o'clock yesterday morn
ing the shrill whistle of the Marsac
mill sounded forth the dread fire alarm,
every one felt that although the town
had been extremely lucky in years gone
by with the fire fiend, now probably
was the time to fight against unequal
odds for the rescue of home and prop
erty and against a possible total de-
strpction of their all. All mining towns
that are built in gulches, with a multi
plicity OF wooden buildings and narrow
streets. have had their great fires. For
a quarter of a century Park City has
escaped its sweeping blaze, but its
doom was sealed. These visions ap-
peared TO the tOwnspeopIe as they
jumped from their couches and hurried
to and fro to help the volunteer fire
department speed the hose carts to the
scene Of the incipient blaze on upper
Main street. There was an ample pres
sure OF water from the fire hydrants
for ordinary purposes, but this was an
unusual, the fateful hour. The burn

Camp McCalla, near Guantanamo,
Cuba, Friday. June II (by Dispatch
Boat, Filed Kingston, Jamaica. June
19).-For several days past small bodies
of Spaniards had been hanging around
the northern end of the harbor of
Guantanamo and annoying the gun
boats and launches by occasional fir
ing. They had been coming from a
small block house about five miles back
from that part of the harbor in which
the American warships have been ly-
ing. This morning the gunboat Suanee
led the way up the channel, followed
by the Marblehead and the launches
on both ships and opened a heavy fire
on bodies of guerillaS seen at a short
distance from the shore line The
shots were not effective at first, but
the Spanish infantry made frantic
burst for cover while the shells pur
sued them, striking all around. The
Dolphin joined in the firing and for 20
minutes a heavy fire was kept up,
when the signal to cease firing was
hoisted. The Suanee steamed close in
shore for a long distance, but was not
able to see any signs of the Spaniards.
while no reply of any kind was made
to the American fire.
The Spanish loss could not have been
heavy, as the enemy ran too fast for
cover at the first shots. Later in the
day the Oregon sent several shots at
the block house, damaging it badly
and causing it to burn for a short time.
PREPARED FOR ASSAULT.
Lieutenant Colonel Huntington, COM
mander of the marines in Camp Nc
Gala, has been making every prepa-
ration during the last few days for an
assault by the Spanish infantry, which
is considered near at hand. The quiet
which has prevailed since Captain Ell
lott and Captain Spicer defeated the
Spaniards in the early part of the
week is considered ominouS, as tending
to indicate that the Spaniards are
their forces to attack the
American position. The entertainments
have, therefore, been greatly strength
eneG and a sharp watch is kept during
the night. The Cubans are generally

LONDON COMMENT.
Delay Caused BY Weakness of Mill
tary Administration.

London, June 2O.-The, Times, in an
article reviewing this morning the
operations in Cuba, says:
THE cause for the delay of General
Skaters expedition is, doubtless, the
weakness of the military administra-
ton at Washington The United
States war office is almost as badly
constituted as our OWE"
With reference to the gathering Of
German vessels at Manila, the article
says. in part: Whatever may be the
aims of German policy, the mere threat
of interference in the Philippines
would be likely to arouse in the United
States an irresistible sentiment in
favor of annexation"
In conclusion, the article expresses
the opinion that Admiral Camara's OBJ
ject is to land forces and stores at the
CanarieS and then TO return to Spain.
