of much larger army here, without

SWEPT BY A FIERY GALE.
City of st. John, N. h., Is Visited by q
Blaze that Entails 100000 Loss tO
200 People Homeless.

st. John, y. B., May 26.-Fire that
broke out in building adjoining the
warehouse of =. Nase g. Sons, on Main
street, Thursday afternoon, did enor-
nous damage. A leading UNDERWATER
estimates the loss at S5O0,OOO and the
insurance at 100000. For several
hours the fires progress was un-
checked. Insufficient water supply, a
long term of dry weather and brisk
gale contributed to cause a confagra-
tion which for time threatened ami
hilation to the wooden district where
it originated. Late last night. how
ever, the fire had died out and there
is no fear of any further loss.
The area burned over comprises Is
blocks or portions of blocks. and the
buildings destroyed number $50. The
district ravaged by the fire was COM
posed largely of tenement houses and
probably 1000 persons are homeless, a
majority of them laboring people. Two
deaths are to be set down to the fire.

His Reward-A sketch Of His Life
Work.
Madrid, May 26.-Don Emilio CASTELAR,
the distinguished republican orator and
statesman. who had been suffering
from an attack of pulmonary catarrh,
contracted last winter, Is dead.
Emilio CASTELAR, was born in Cadiz,
September s, 1882. His father, an ex-
change broker, spent seven years in tbs
English possessions, chiefly Mt Gibral-
tar, to escape sentence of death passed
on him for his implication in liberal
movements. Notwithstanding his father
died poor, Emilio, who was only seven
years old at the time. received a supe-
rior education, and attained great dis
tinction as a journalist and orator.
In 1856 CASTELAR, was the successful
competitor for the chair of history and
philosophy in the University of Madrid.
He was deprived of his university pro-
fessorship in 1864 after having, with
Senior Carascon, founded the journal
La Democracia. CASTELAR, paved the way
by his writings and speeches for the
revolution of 1866, which was put down
by Marshal Serrano. He was sentenced
to death and his paper suppressed. In
disguise he escaped to Geneva and
thence TO France.
During the troubles Of 1868, when
Isabella II. was dethroned, CASTELAR, re-
turned to Spain and labored for the
adoption of republican form of gov
ernment, but the throne was re-estab-
lished in 1870 with Amadeo as king.
CASTELAR, was restored TO his professor
ship in 1868 and resigned it in 1875. He
was elected to the cortes for Saragossa
and Lerida, and opposed Prim and Ser
rano and subsequently King Amadeo.
When King Amadeo abdicated in 1873
CASTELAR, became minister of foreign af-
fairs to the republic (Feoruary 12) and
president of Spain, with extraordinary
powers September y. On January 2,
1874, he resigned. Serrano came to
the front n the military reaction,and .
year later, when Alfonso XII. was
called to the throne, CASTELAR, made a
second journey to Geneva. In 1876 he
re-entered the cortes.
CASTELAR, passed away at Murcia, cap
ital of the ancient kingdom and mod
ern province of that name. The news
of his demise caused profound emotion
throughout Spain. The queen regent
and members of the cabinet immediate
ly telegraphed condolences to the fam
ily.

Cuban Army Records Have Been
"Doctored" I'm View OF the Distribu-
tion of s3,OOO,OOO OF American
Money.
Havana, May 27.--The distribution
OF the 100000 which the United
States government has offered as a
gratuity to the Cuban troops ON dis
fandiug and surrendering their arms
will begin at 10 O'Clock to-day at the
foot of the lrado. Under the swollen
muster rolls prepared by the late Gu
ban military assembly the Americans,
who have closely followed the subject,
are curious to see what proportion of
the numbers listed will actually ap-
pear. There are only 400 on the list
for Havana, and Lieut.. Col. Randall,
of the Eighth infSntry, the commits
sioner experimenting the distribution
here, does not expect trouble.
That the rolls are regarded as un-
reliable the official report of the clerk
who had charge of the preparation of
rolls in behalf of the pavmaster shows.
He says that lists aggregating 1924
names were received from several de.
partment commanders. The oreani-
cations in the Cuban army to which
these men belong were not definitely
stated in more than 200 cases, leaving
1,124 names to be searched for on rolls
containing 10000 names. or these.
says the report, 81 were found. 1t ap-
pears strange that such indefinite data
should have been given in SO many
cases unless purposely done.
Gen. Ludlow in forwarding the list
for his department, says: "Some Of
the employees refused to give the de-
sired information, while others, ex-sol-
diers of the army, denied having
been members of the Cuban army at
all. Many things in the rolls from
which our copies were made go to-
ward creating the impression that
they have been made up for the occa-
sion of this payment, but as Gen. Ernst
in his letter to the adiutant general
covered these fully, do not deem it |
necessary to repeat them on paper,
lest the generals should have deter
mined to discourage the soldiers TAX
ing the $75."
At meeting Of the Veterans of In
dependence on Thursday night, which
was largely attended, it was resolved
to approve the decision Of the army
in the eastern provinces, and to
recommend the army in the western
provinces to take the same course. A
resolution declaring against either CIV
ing Up arms or accepting money from
the United States was carried unani-
mously. In accordance with this ac-
tion Nunez began to disband his fol-
lowers yesterday, 500 men being billet
ed among the towns of I'inar del Rio
Droyince.

DOM RAUL's SPIES.
How the Smart Old Man Learned of
Things in Advance.

No one ever denied that Dom Paul,
president of the South African repub-
lie, was an astute old statesman. Time
and again he has beaten our British
cousins in, diplomacy and has proved
his worth as a diplomatist.
At the time of the Jameson raid it
caused DIR. Jameson and his associates
considerable surprise, says the New
York Herald, that their plans were
known to the Beers almost as soon as
they were conceived The British were
met fought and defeated by an am
pushed body of men almost at the very
beginning of their attack, and it was
believed at the time that one of their
number had turned traitor and given
the plans to the Beers, but now the Sc
cret is known.
The old warrior enlisted the services
of the barmaids at johannesburg in the
political secret service. Through them
he learned that new men were being en-
listed in the Cape police and that new
guns were being shipped, week after
week, from England. Through the same
source he was informed of the attempts
that were being made by English poll
ticians to force the hands of the gov
eminent of the Orange Free State in
case war should be declared by the
British government against his coun-
try. The Englishmen babbled all this
over their cups. and the barmaids' win
ming smiles and bright eyes never gave
them the suspicion that they were tell
ing secrets of vital Importance.
No sooner had the pretty barmaids
enticed from the sturdy colonists their
important secrets than Dom Paul was
informed. The old statesman knew how
to parry blow with blow. To the amaze
ment of the British, no sooner had they
increased their force of available figh.-
ers by means of secret enlistment than
they were informed that Dom Paul had
enlisted still larger number of men.
No sooner had their guns arrived from
England than they found out that the
Beers also had obtained from firm in
Germany, a larger number of weapons
of still better manufacture. By means
of always being forewarned Kruger
warded off war.

Aguinaldo Gets Supplies,

New York, July ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Ac-
cording to verbal reports to the navy
from officers returning from the Phil
ippines, Agulnaldo continues to get war
supplies through German merchants in
Hong Kong and Japanese merchants in
Yokohama, although our consuls have
been directed to keep a sharp lookout
for filibustering. In more than one in
