angular block bounded by Canal and
second streets and Germantown ave-
nue., was almost entirely destroyed by
fire to-nIght, entailing loss Of about
$4,000, partly covered by insurance.
The fire is supposed to have orlgin-

chandlse company.
Twelve horses belonging to Wunder-
Itch Bros. were burned to death. The
flames spread to David Bros large rail-
road spike works at Nos. III to III

Infantry moved over and began en-

transport was utilized to carry stores.
"At A o'clock the enemy opened fire
on the entertainments and camp from
the shoulder OF Impau mountain, with
two six inch guns, getting a fairly ac-
eurate aim over n range of 1900 yards.
The soft ground rendered the percus-
sion fuses useless. In spite Of the fall

LONDON, Oct. SO.-The position at
Ladysmlth without being alarming is
sufficiently dangerous to excite anxiety.
Evidently the Beers are trying to re-
peat their Dundee tactics. Roughly es-
tlmated they have 1900 men as against
1900 British.
General Sir George Stewart White
has the better artillery but his is Of
lesser range. The delay in the Boar at
tack is reported to be due to the nom
arrival Of Commandant General Jou-
bert's column. This has given the
British n much needed respite after
their recent exertlons. Everything. 1t
is now considered, hinges upon General
Whites resource and judgment. Moth
ing is known regarding the progress Of
defensive work for the protection Of
Ladysmith.
The censorship Is more active than
ever. According to the Daily Chront-
cles correspondent, "the new regula-
tIons limit the number OF words allowed
for press messages to one-tourth the
number allowable before"
Farmers in the neIghborhood Of
LadysmFtt have left their farms and
stock at the mercy of the Beers and
are congregated in the town. The two
guns the Beers have mounted are pow
erful weapons. They are the ones used
in Smelling Dundee and It is matter of
considerable surprise how they man
aged to transport such heavy pieces.
Again, 1t is reported that President
Kruger accompanied General Joubert
to the front in splendldly fitted travel

The explanation of the alleged Boer
massacre at Dundee appears to be that
a portion OF the town guard, although
fairly warned by General Yule before
his retirement, continued to carry arms
and thirty of them wer shot before the
Beers discovered who they were.
The body Of sir William symons was
buried without coffin, shroaded In the
Union Jack. Among the papers sound
upon him was telegram from Lady
symons congrntulatlng him upon his
success.
Later accounts of the first battle and
the evacuation OF Dundee do not give
those affairs Il roster hue, Owing to
the shellIng OF Glencoe Camp the tele-
graph operators were compelled to
scampcr with numerous unforwarded
dispatches. When the Beers entered
Dundee they indulged in general loot
ing Of stores, but apparently did not
otherwise molest the Popnlnce.
In the flrst battle the Beers captured
the Maxim of the Eighteenth Hussars,

twelve-pound explosion shells. At the
beginning the craftsmanship was era

range and sent number of shells into
the town.
Comparatively little damage was
done. A convent which had been con-
verted into hospital was the chief suf-
1erer, three of the shells striking the
building. The ammunition used by the
Beers was apparently of an inferior
quality. There were no casualties. The
British returned only one shot. which
being well directed, disabled one OF the
enemy's guns. After three hours the
Beers sent nm envoy to ask IL the town
was prepared to surrender. Col. Baden

SPAIN'S new TREATY.

AFFAIR.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-An under
standing has been reached by which 1t
is expected that negotiations will be
opened soon at Madrid for new treaty
between the United States and Spain.
This viii be ,ths last step towards COM
pletely restoring the friendly relations
between the two countries.
The war with Spain swept the old
treaty out OF existence, and the only
international agreement now tn exist
euce Is the peace treaty, which Is con-
fined to the events growing out OF the
war, and has no reference to commerce,
navigation, extradItion and other man
fold relations between nations in times
OF peace, The coming negotiations VIII
be for the purpose of forming such a
treaty of commerce, amity and friend
ship The present condition Is quite
anomalous, as there Is no basis on
which persons could be extradited from
one country to the other. for for the de.
termination Of any commercial dinerE
ence which might arise. Fortunately
there has been no case oecasioning SER
ious differences.
Both sides expect that the new treaty
will be great improvement on the OLD
one, which was an antiQuated docu-
mcnt, dating back to 1895, with many
OF It's provisions devoted to the bound
ary between Florida, then possession
Of Spain. and the United States. save
for the Cushing protocol, 1t has been Inn
possible to frame new treaty satisfac-
tory to both sides, and II remained Tor
the war to dispose Of 1t. and thus open
tho VaV for modern treaty.
1t has been thought that the Duke
d'Arcos would conduct these negotia-
tions with the state department here,

the understanding that the work VIII

states minister there, Mr., Bellamy sto-
