Ordaneta, which was captured with her
crew at Orani, about 20 miles from Ma

department the little boat was last May

Naturally the navy officials are vexed
that the difficulties Of the negotiations

The strikers are confident of winning.

B,hre orb: Those who were on Main street abnut o'clock last even ing were startled by the cry Of Fire, " and the attention of. all was attracted to the show window of the Blewett snne store, where flames had begun to make headway among the numerous toys and holiday goods displayed there. A bystander seized couple of heavy quilts in the front If the store aud quickly subdued the flames. The fire started from lighted candle which was in the center or a small merry-go- o-round, which was driven by the hot air from the candle, and in some way the celluloid of which 1t was composed caught ire and it dropped intu pile of dolls, toilet sets, etc, and in a second the whole window was aflame. The goods in the window were all destroyed, the loss being about fifty dollars.
 prospect0r The disappointing in formation comes now that the reJec- tiou of the Hearst grant claim by the land court at Tucson was not the Bo- quiIlas grant at Fairbank, as the set tiers there had thought and in conse- duence of which a celebration was held. It now develops that the Hearst claim which was rejected was an ai- legged grant on the Upper san Pedro river which had been previously sold to tue Reloj Cattle Co. The BcqUillas grant had already been confirmed and the case had not come before the present session of the land court at Tucson. The disappointment was bitter pill for the settlers but as they have been used to bitter things they are taking their medicine gracefully.
