The landing at Guantanamo showed
that the ordinary methods Of warfare
practiced by modern soldiers and marines
would have 10 be revised to make an et-
fective campaign against the Spanlards
at Santiago. and the experience Of our
cavalrymen on Friday confirms that i'm
preston. The Spanish soldier Is not only
a butcher, trained in cruelty and bar
barous methods Of warfare, but he IS
familiar with every device Of bush fight
ing. Their favorlte style OF fighting is
akin to the tactics resorted to by the
Apache Indians. Fortunately for US,
the majority of the troops now besleging
Santiago are regulars. all more or less
seasoned for the Identical campaign be-
fore them by years Of experience with
Indians on the plains Of the interior.
Here again is an example Of the wisdom
shown by the president and his military
advisers in resisting the popular clamor
in favor OF throwing our raw and un-
seasoned volunteers into a country where
bushcraft is quite often a greater factor
in battle than bravery or military knowl-
edge These exploits are developing in
formation that will be Of great value 70
the military authorities in planning ef-
fectlve operations against Santiago.

FIRE DzyoURs MILLIONS.
Great Building In New York In the Grasp
Of Flam 8.

NEW YORK, Dec 4--Fire broke out in
the block on the west side of Broad
way between Murray and Warren streets
soon after 9 O'Clock tonight, and spread
rapidly. The Broadway frontage was
taken up by three buildings The first.
running 100 feet on Warren street and
five stories high, was occupied by Rogers.
Peet & Co., clothiers and mems furnish
ers. Next to that was the Home Life
Insurance company's building. about 20
stories high, and on the corner of Murray
street was the Postal Telegraph eompany's
building. II stories high.
The clothing store was quickly gutted
by the flames. The operators and all
other persons in the Postal company's
building were ordered out, as the flames
were shooting far above the tops Of the
structures.
At midnight 10 stories OF the II ONE
Life Insurance eOmpany's building were
in flames. The top OF the postal building
was also on fire. All the woodwork in
the front of the. United States Lie In
suranee building, on the opposite side-Of
Warren street, was burned away and the
building is threatened with destruction.
The height Of the buildings is so great
that it is impossible to get water there.
Chief Bonner. with several gangs Of men,
have gone to the roof OF the Postal build
ing to endeavOr to stop the progress of
the fire by cutting i away or blowing
away.
The losses will amount 10 millions.
There has been no loss Of life so far as
is known.

THE Democratic managers Of the
State are lsboriously endes7oring to
formulate 5 plan Of fusion with the an
ti-Qusy Republicans in toe Legislature
in the hope Of overthrowing Senator
Quay and controlling the legislation Of
the coming session. The anti Quay
Republicans are quite willing to ''fuse"
provided one Of their number IS select
ed as the fusion candidate for Speaker
of the House. The Dep.acrats, how
ever. are not willing to let ''the tail wag
the dog but insist on naming the
chief officials of the House, inasmueh
as they viii form by far the larger eie-
ment of the proposed fusion They are
also quite willing to furnish a fusion
candidate for the United States Senate
in the person of Col. James NJ. Guffey,
or some other equally thorough-goiDg
Democrat, for the an;i-Quay Republic
cane to support, all Of which is quite
natural, and was to be expected.

who fuse with Democrats in an effort

Attacked in the Dark.

UNIoNTowS, Pa, December 2-While
Mrs. Margaret Burke was going 10 her
home on Highland avenne last night she
was attacked by a man who jumped out
of dark alley and shot her with Flo
bert rifle. The attack was 50 sudden thst
Mrs. Burke was badly frightened. She,
however. grappled with her assailant, en-
deavoring to get the rifle from him, and
calling for help all the while. Neighbors
responded to her call, but before they ar
rived the man escaped with his gun.
Mrs. Burke was taken home, and medI.
cal assistance summoned. 1t was discov-
cred that the bullet had entered her neck
producing an ugly, though not fatal
wound The injured woman claims that
she knows who shot her, but has not
made her information public yet. County
Detective McBeth is working on the case.
