FIRE AN A
JAPANESE CRUISER
Several Members of the Crew Burned
to Death and Many Injured-Ves-
sci Partial Wreck.

SEATTLE, Jan. 10.-News by steamer
from Japan says: The second-class jap
anese cruiser Kaimon Kan has reached
Annoy partial wreck, as the result of a
fire that broke out during storm at
sea. Several of the members of the
crew of the cruiser were burned to death
and many others badly injured.
The Kaimon Kan was a wooden vessel
of the old style, and had on board a
number of soldiers besides her regular
crew. When few days out and in the
midst of gale fire was discovered in
one of the bunkers to the rear of the
engines.
The Japanese crew behaved with
great bravery, and streams of water were
soon playing on the fire. at this juno
ture an accident to the machinery made
it necessary tor some one to go down the
alley. 1t was case of almost sure death
but two men volunteered to go down.
Before they got to the machinery in
need of repair the smoke overcame them.
No one would go in after them and the
fire soon consumed their bodies. The
engines were kept running or the vessel
would surely haye foundered. The yes
sel is repairing at Annoy.
The news reached Toxic some time
ago, but has only leaked out through
| letters from home:

UNCERTAINTY
AS TO OUTCOME
Matter Will Probably Be Referred to
Washington for Arbitration-Ap-
pointment of Cubans to Some Very
Important Offices Will Be Made in
the Near Future.

NEW YORK, Jan 10.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from HavanS says ~ !
Some friction exists in the army over
the government of Havana. It was cup
posed that Washington orders creating
separate department with Gen. Lud-
low in command were explicit enough to
prevent conflicts of:aut uthority, but this
expectation has not been fully realized.
The present turmoil relates to the con-
troll of the Havana police force.
When General Greene was here Col.
Moulton of the First Illinois. was des-
ignated as military chief of police at
Gen. Greene's request. He has been
organizing force with the assistance
of ex-Chief McCullagh, of New York.
More recen; plans contemplate placing
the department under the control Col.
Evans, formerly governor of North Car
olina, and now on Gen. Lawton's staff.
This uncertainty retards the organiza-
ton.
Appointments of Cubans to off,
ces in Havana will soon be made. By
placing Cubans in prominent positions
some of the responsibility for minor po-
sitions will be shifted.to them. The in
surgents have been complaining that
appointments already made in the Gus
tom house and other places have gone
to Cubans who stayed at home during
the fighting. When leading insurgents
are in the chief positions complaints
will have to be directed against then
rather than against the American au
thorities.
Cuban officers are holding meeting
daily trying to determine their own sta
tue. A majority of them are inclined t.
cooperate with the American authori
ties and to facilitate the disbandment Q

THE VIEWS OF
GEN. ABBOTT
Cost of the Panama Will Be Much Less
Than That of the Nicaragua, and
of the Two Routes, When Com
pleted, Vessels Will Prefer the
Panama.

New York, Jan. 10.-Brigadier Gen
eral Henry L. Abbott, U. S. A., retired,
has arrived here from France on the
steamer La Champagne. He was accom-
panied by NJ. Choron, who is said to be
connected with the new Panama Canal
Company. General Abbott, who was
member of the International Technical
Commission, composed of engineers of
the. United States, France, Germany.
Russia, England and Colombia, which
recently made an inspection of the plans
and work and suggested changes in the
route of the Panama canal, is on his way
to Washington to lay before the United
States government all the information
he possesses regarding the inter oceanic
waterway at the isthmus of the Pan
anna.
He eaid that the French government
had no longer anything to do with the
proposed canal and that the new COM
pany could dispose of its interest in the
work to the United States without op-
position from any source, provided the
terms offered were satisfactory.
He further said that the new canal
company with the 65, 900 600 francs which
it possessed when it secured Possession
of the big cut has simply been doing the
preliminary work necessary on account
of the mistaken ideas of the old en-.
gineers. Now all the obstacles, such as
the overflow of the Chagres river during
the period of freshets, have been ar
ranged for, and the old idea of making
the connection between ocean and ocean

that the part that is yet to he finished
will be built on the lock principle. Two
ffths of the entire canal work is now
actually completed, and the balance un
