Years.
La Crosse. Wis. July is. In lhe
midst of the hottest afternoon OF the

fire since the historic lumber blaze Ten
years ago, although not rivaling IL III

fore 4 o'clock in the sash ana loot
factory of the Segelke- Kohlaus com
many. a stone and brick building, most
of il of three stories and covering nan
n block. This was entirely destroyed
with all machinery and considerable
lumber. including a stock of quarter
sawed oak was burned. North OF thls
was the John Paul Lumber company's
plant. Most of one block. 300 feet
square. of piled lumber was burned
over, destroying between a million ana
a half and two million feet, all
grade stuff. The firemen IN
stopping the flames in this block wnlch
was a remarkable piece or WORK.
Across the street east was the Paui
company's barn with fifty 10 sixty
horses. They were all taken out win
harness. but the building. although
iron sheeted. burned TO the ground.
South of the factory was the Z. l..
Coleman plant, and il was saved wlth-
out loss by reason of the south wind.
Flames burst out several times inside
the iron sheeting Of the planning mill,
but men were watching and did 0
let them get a start. James Vincent
had a small lumber shed burned and
Dan Kelly's small house was partly
destroyed. The Segelke-kohlaus loss
is estimated at $4,000 which is a con-
sentative figure; insurance, S35,OOo.
The John Paul %company's loss is esti-
mated at $4,000. though the condition
of the lumber saved cannot now be de-
termined. He is well insured.

had a conference with Secretary Alger
and Secretary Long and Capt. CROWN
shield. chief Of the bureau Of nayaga-

ing that plans had beer discussed for
an aggressive movement in which
both army and navy will take part

the White House Secretary Alger had
been in conference with Gen. Brooke
for two hours. They had before them
a large number Of maps of Puerto
Rico and the plans of campaign were
discussed from every point of view.
liz is said that Gen. Miles will go d.
rect from Santiago 10 Puerto Rico and
that Gen. Stone and Col. Michler, of

day OF two 10 join the general at San

cuss the naval programme except 70

Washington. July 10. - Information
has reached the government that with
a view to protecting her own coast and
embarrassing this country in it's opera
tions against Puerto Rico the Spanish
authorities are thinking of dividing
what remains of SPANS navy and
sending a portion of it to American
waters. This government, however,
expects to be able 10 divide it's forces
so as not only to dispatch Commodore
Watson to the Spanish coast with a
formidable force, but to retain under
Admiral SIMPSONS command q feet
which will protect the blockading
squadrons Of Puerto Rico and Cuba
and the North Atlantic coast and the
troopships which will convey the army
of invasion TO Puerto Rico.
