A BIG Loss.
The Old Union Depot at Cincinnati
Wiped Ont by Fire.


Wiped Ont by Fire.
Fire was discovered in the Big -Four
warehouse, occupying block bounded by
Central avenue, Pearl. Plum and Second
streets, Cincinnati. A general alarm soon
called the whole department to the scene
O0nlSapidly spread to other railway
buildings, MelSS the freight sheds,
where forty loadedS >ejght cars were
burned and thirty that ere not loaded.
Some passenger coaches we also -ha1%y
damaged in the yards. The warehouse,
where the fire started, was formerly used
as union passenger station, and is just
across the street from the new passenger
station, which was so badly damaged that
no morning trains could leave that place.
The approaches to the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad bridges were also badly dam
aged. The loss is estimated at over a mill
ion dollars, but it will be some time before
the extent of the loss in the sheds and yards
can be known. The guests of the Grand
Hotel and smaller hOstelries in the vicinity
Of the depots were greatly alarmed.

Their Mission FruitIess.

Manila special: Aguinaldo's third at
tempt to shift his difficulties into the field
of diplomacy is repetition of the other,
fruitless endeavor TO obtain some sort of
recognition of his so-called government.
The Filipino ENJOYS had an hours con-
ference with Gen. Otis. They brought
from Aguinaldo message that he desired
peace and wished to send a civilian gov
eynmental commission to discuss the ques-
ton. Gen. Otis replied that it was impOs-
sible for him to recognize Aguinaldo's
government in that way. While he was
willing to correspond with Aguinaldo as
General of the insurgent army, he must
positively decline to recognize him as pres
ident of the civil government.

60 HE demonstration accorded Ad-
miral George Dewey in New York

tA ~ dNNOlutA
miral George Dewey in New York
was one of the grandest, most sor-
geous and spontaneously enthusiastic in
the whole history of human pageantry.
1t was an outpouring of the popular heart
| and affection for the nations hero and
| the worlds greatest naval captain, ana
throughout the broad domain of the Unit
ed States, from his own native rock-rib-
bed New England to the sands of the
Golden Gate. from semi-tropical Gulf to
almost arctic SHOWS, the people of every
creed and color joined in the spirit Of
New York's reception to the victor Of
Manila bay.
Admiral George Dewey is worthy Of
fighter when fighting was to be done
and carved his name by the side of Far
ragut, Barry and Jones in fame's eter-
nal temple. He proved himself states
man, discreet, diplomatic, dignifed, dur
ing the crucial days following the battle
of Cavite, when indiscretion might jeop-
ardize what had been won and lead to
unknown dangers. And at all times and
dnder all circumstances he has proved
himself an American gentleman.
From that May day, in 1898, when the
news of his superb victory over the Span
ish fleet in Manila harbor electrified the
nation, causing many people at first to
question its accuracy so astonishingly
complete was it, Dcwey's name has been
pftenest on American lips and his fame
mas been cnshrined in the national heart.
He became the hero, the idol of more
than 70,000,OO0 people, and from that
moment TO the present he has not omitted
Jr committed one act, the omission or
commission of which dimmed one ray of
his glory. He has maintained his mod
Est composure even while the world unit
ed to swell his praises. The greetings
rendered him at the various visiting ports
on his return voyage wrought no change
In the fine fabric of the man and he
rame back to an almost worshipful people
the same in gentlemanly character as he
JAILED away, free from the imitation of
bomp and pride.
1t is no wonder that the American
people should take and carefully note in
memory whatever is illustrative of his
character. And thus the writer turns
from the pomp of the great reception in
New York to the antecedents of Dewey,

tics that combined to make the victor OF
Manila and the idol Of America.

'When lions become man-eaters these

situated and how they are guarded.
There is no route by which travellers

NEEDY NUMBERED z5o.ooo.
Rev. Or. Mccormick Tells of Felief Wo
I'm Porto Rico.

In Porto htS0.
Rev. ii. p. Mccormick, one of the Gov
ernment inspectors of charities in Porto
Rico, says the number of persons need
ing help rose to 100000 and that the
greater number of those lived in the
mountains and inaccessible places. Great
difficulty was experienced in reaching the
needy on account of lack of intelligent,
practical cooperation OH the part of the
alcaldes of the districts. The board Of
charities was hampered in its work by The
conflicting and exaggerated reports made
by local authorities. DR.. Mccormick de-
scribes the difficulties at length, but says
that efforts have been made to reach as
many as possible of the alcaldes on horse
back, muleback and by boat. The work
in general includes the organizing of local
relief juntas, both male and female, The
correcting of abuses and the suggesting
of improvements. He also says that if
the people of the island were permitted
10 sell their coffee, sugar and tobacco IN
the United States, the suffering would be
considerably lesSened. The desutution
Is greatest in the mountains and coffee

IN THE CIVIL WAR.
DeWey's Brilliant Service Under the
Great Farragut.

Dewey was at home in Montpelier
when Sumter was fired upon. One week
afterward he secured his commission as
lieutenant and was ordered TO the steam
sloop Mississippi of the West Gulf squad
ron. 1t will be remembered that Farra-
gut raised his flag over this fleet in Feb
ruary, 1862. The Mississippi was the
only sde-wheeler of the lot. Command
er Melancthon Smith was her captain
and Dewey was her first lieutenant.
Early in April the larger ships, the Mis-
sissippi among them, were unloaded and
hauled over the bar, and by the night of
the 23d the squadron was ready for the
business of running past the formidable
batteries of St Philip and Jackson, ready
to conquer the Confederate fleet beyond
and to press on TO New Orleans.
Amid Smoke and Flame.
Farragut divided his ships into two di
visions. Captain Theodorus Bailey had
command Of that going first, and the
Mississippi was the third in his line.
Decks were whitewashed, no lights We're
showing, and the night was inky black
save for the lurid red of an occasional
Confederate fire. The big ship, having
speed of only eight knots, hugged the
shore to avoid the swift current. On, on
they steamed, slow, stately procession
that knew no check, until the flames of
the brOadside guns leaped into the very
ports of the batteries and the shot struck
in midair So close were they that the
gunners hurled curses at each other across
the narrow space Of black water. On the
high bridge of the side-wheeler, in the
midst of belching smoke and flame, stood
Dewey, guiding the Mississippi as calmly
as though he We're going UP New York
bay on still afternoon in Indian sum

"Yes, sir" replied Dewey with conf

Dewey's Heroic Work.
This is how Chief Engineer Baird, l..

1t was like some terrible thunder storm

The so-called discovery Of DR.. Roberts Of
