 The fire originated on the east side and in the center of the camp, down over the top of the hill lead ng to what is known as Bitter Creek. It started in a small cabin occupied by number of Italians who were barlring They had been having jolly time all night and it is thought that while they were at- tempting to cook something to eat they set fire to the building from gasoline stov. which they were using. From this building, which was at the extreme east center of the camp, the flames spread until the whole town was in ashes.
 The waterworks of the camp were be- ing rebuilt, and were in sucII condition that tllev were Of no use whatever and although the comand shut down their works at the first alarm of fire and tnrn- ed the full force of their water supply down town. it was oi no use It seem ed as though there was no power able to stop the terrible work of destruction, and beyond the attempt to stop the fire by the blowing up of some of the build ings with powder, the people gave up in despair and quietly looked on at the melting away of their building.

DOWN WENT DEANE.
Man Overload in Person of
Transport Carpenter.

Carpenter J. NJ. Deane of the Penn
sylvania had an involuntary bath in
the bay at dark last night. Dressed in
his best, he left the city and attempted
to return up a rope ladder over the
peak of his vessel TO the deck. But
Carpenter Deane was heavy and the
ladder was fastened at the top only
Just as the seaman laid hands on the
friendly deck the ladder slipped from
under his feet. There was a splash in
the water like the launching of a small
vessel, and the sea closed over 220
pounds of poor Carpenter Deane.
There was a fall Of twenty feet from
the deck TO the water and twenty feet
from there to the bottom. Carpenter
Deane made the round trip in the bay
in short order and soon appeared, sput-
tering, and mad, on the surface, leav-
ing his hat as a souvenir with Davey
Jones a rope was thrown out and he
was dragged upon the wharf by ma
tives. In his fall from aloft the mans
head passed within a few inches OF the
wharf. Several people looking on
thought he struck it, but this happily
proved not the case.

Private Clarence II. Porter. of Com
pany II, First New York, died at the
Military hospital Sunday night and
was buried from st. Andrews Cathed-
raj at o'clock yesterday afternoon in
Nuuanu cemetery. Rev. c. Swartz con-
Quoted the services. Company H--offi-
GERS and men-and the First New York
band were out.
Mr.. Porter was a native of Bingham
town and was 81 years of age. At home
he was sash and door worker with
the Robinson Planning Mill Co, and
wa very highly esteemed by his en-
ysers. He leaves a young wife at
Binghampton; no children.
The cause of death was septic in
fectioN," appearing after general col
lapse of the system. Young Porter was
overcome by the sun at Camp Black
and never recovered from the shock.
His mind was considerably affected by
1t. Some days ago there was a general
decline in his health and he was sent
to the hospital. Some of his comrades
feel that he should never have been
brought away after the SunStroke at
Camp Black.
\ sad feature of the case is that the
dead mans brother, Fred, is now in a
very critical condition at the hospital
with pneumonia and is not expected to
live. He belongs to the same company
and is rs years of age. Clarence Por-
ter's death was the first in Company III
