DESTRUCTIVE FIRE ON
 THE SOUTH HIGHLANDS
Three Residences Destroyed and Several Others Damaged Estimated at
 SI5,0OO, With S6,O0O Insurance.

Three residences in Eleventh avenue, South, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, were destroyed by fire yesterday shortly after noon. The fire originated in a cottage occupied by J. w. Stokes and family, and before the department could arrive the flames had enveloped the cot tage and spread to the adjoining buildings, occupied by J. II. Bemis and Mrs. Clint Reese.
 The entire fire department responded to the call, but were unable to stop the flames until the three buildings had been consumed. The water pressure is said to have been rather weak, not being suf- ficient to throw a stream to the tops of the residences in that vicinity.
 The total loss on the buildings and furni- ture is estimated at $15OOO, with about $6,000 insurance.
 Five six residences in Eleventh ave- nue and in Sixteenth street were badly damaged by the fire, the roofs of three four of them being burned off. J. T. Glo- yer, whose new residence has only been completed about two months, and who had but recently moved into it, sustained about $500 loss, but is fully insured.
 The burned buildings belonged to Mrs. Josephine McClintock and Mrs. Julia Pat ton.

SOLDIERS RESCUE
 THEIR COMRADES
Great Excitement Prevailed at Frankfort-Fight Between
 Militia and Police.

Frankfort, Ky, April 7.-There is great excitment here tonight. Two soldiers at the state house were arrested for drunken ness by the police. A squad of twenty-five soldiers dashed out of the yard and order ed the officers to release their comrades. A scuffie followed between the police and the men under arrest, in which several soldiers joined, pulling the prisoners away from the police while the other soldiers turned loose a voley from 15 to 25 shots which evidently were fired in the air. Having rescured their comrades the soldiers then retired in- side the yard. Chief of Police Williams summoned his full force and started for the state house to demand the prisoners. The Beckham military authorities inter- cepted the police and dissuaded them from attempting to capture the men who had started the trouble and who had been res cued by their comrades. The soldiers of the opposing administrations were drawn up ready for action and trouble was very narrowly ayerted.

 The other basin will be used for the recep- tion of ships which need repairing but not docking The frontage of all these piers will aggregate 1000 feet. Each pier will be traversed by railroad, which will also run through the repair shop and to differ points in the yard. This road will be 6,000 feet long, which is considerably more than mile The rolling stock will consist
 of two locomotive cranes and some flat
 cars. The cranes will be used to lift out ma
 chinery from the ships, which will then be
 carried to those parts of the shops whore
 the proper facilities for repairing exist.
 In the repair building will be located the
 blacksmith shop and rooms for carpenters, coppersmiths, plumbers, pipeworkers.
 painters, pattern makers and electricians.
 This building will also contain the offices
 and private restaurant for the office
 employees and the officers of the ships. The
 shops will be traversed by an overhead
 electric crane, which will carry 10000
 pounds Of dead weight.
 All the power used will be electric, and
 most of the tools will be operated by the
 means of compressed air. Tn this way the
 hammers used for caking, riveting, chip ping and so forth will be dispensed with. The tools used for riveting, for instance, resembles a big syringe without the nozzle The workman simply places the muzzle of the tool over the head of the rivet and turns on the power. The compressed air acts on the tool like steam on the cylinder and piston of locomotive, and the piston inside the tool is set working with trernen- dous rapidity The head of the piston, working to and fro like the sucker in the syringe, acts as a hammer, and makes the rivet fast in an incredibly short space of time The noise, however, Is insuppor table to people unaccustomed to it.
 Compressed air is also used for calkng The workman simply arranges a string of oakum over a crick and sets his pneumatic 1 chisel to work. He merely guides it. and | the compressed air does all the pounding. | The same power is used for drilling holes in 1 metal, for chopping, cooling and many oth- | CT kinds of work

NOTHING COMES
 FROM THE FRONT News from South Africa Sud-
 denly Becomes Scarce. B0ERS ARE VERY ACTIVE They Have Construed Buffers Inactiv- ity as Sign of Fear to Resume Operations, and Have
 Grown Quite Bold
B0ERS ARE VERY ACTIVE

London, April S.-No news was issued by the war office tonight. None was re- ceived from the front except that from Bloemfontein dated April 1, relating to the engagement of General Gatscre at Reed ersburg, which seems to have been held back by the censor.
 It will be remembered that Lord Roberts in reporting the unfortunate occurrence" at Reedersburg, said that General Cat acre had arrived there on the morning of April 5. Hence he may have succeeded in engaging the Boers later in the day It is strange, however, that General Gatacre's s subsequent movements have not been mentioned in Lord Roberts other dis patches, the last of which was dated the l evening of April 6.
 It is reported from Ladysmith that the Boers are beginning to construe General 1 Buffers inactivity as a sign of fear Of in- ability to resume active operations. Hence 1 they are showing much activity particu- larly around Biggarsberg, and are said to 1 be planning to outflank General Buffers advance in force by way of Helpmakaar. As the plan is known, it is not likely that the Boers will find Butler unprepared. Boers Reach Kronstadt
 The Boers state that the Colesburg and Stormberg commanders, numbering 6,OOo men and ten guns, have reached Gronsadt.
