and the occupants of the building were
forced to fly for their lives.
At 1:5O p. m. the flames crossed the
street, and in few minutes the hand
some iron structure of the First Ma
tional bank on the corner of Fifth ave-
nue. and Wood street was in flames.
The entire fire department was called
out and the firemen worked heroically
to stay the flames, but it seemed ap-
parent the buildings on the south side
of the street would be destroyed.
Only the roof of the First National
bank building was on fire and the
flames were quickly eXtinguished.
The fire started in the rear of the
Eichbaum building, facing on Diamond
street. The building was being re
modelled as a telephone office at an eX-
pense of many thousand dollars. As
soon as the alarm was given the money
and valuables in the Exchange bank
were placed in the vaults for safety.
At 2:25 o'clock the fire was appar-
entity under control, after cleaning out
the Eichbaum and Duff buildings
When the fire was discovered fifty stu
dents were on the fifth floor of Duff's
college A panic enSued, but beyond
q few bruises and contusionS all reached

Appears Of the Port of Baranquilla,
Colombia.

New York, June ga dispatch to
the Herald from Kingston, Jamaica,
says:
Authentic news from Colon. Col
onnbia. has been received by the French
steamship Labrador. According to the
latest. advices there is great excite
ment in Baranquilla and Cartagena,
two Colombian seaports because Of the
appearance off Bocas de Cenozas, an
inlet near Baranquilla of a torpedo
boat, a steamship and several sailing
vessels. The craft are fully armed and
carry 1000 revolutionists, who are un-
der the command of General Duran.
The revoIutionists intend to attack
Baranquilla by land and water.
There are only about two thousand
troops in Baranquilla. General Tribe
has reported at Oceana with 5000 sol
diers. He will proceed along the Mag
delena river if General Duran should
CAPTURE Baranquilla- This would mean
a decisive conflict.
There is neither cable nor steamship
communication with Baranquiila. The
result of the fighting therefore will not
be known for several days.

GROSYENOR DTSGRUNTLED.
Ohio Congressman Says Roosevelt
Should Not Have Weakened.

Philadelphia. June 22.-Congressman
Chas. II. Grosvenor made a statement
concerning the nomination OF Roose-
welt for vice president.
Roosevelt as a vice presidential
candidate will greatly strengthen the
ticket, especially among sound Re
publicans of the northwest. If he gets
out and makes an active campaign,
as it is supposed he will, he will be
in many respects the strongest candi-
date that could have been nominated. -
How will the nomination affect
Roosevelt as a political factor?"
1T will very likely kill him, politi-
cally The vice presidency is a politi-
cal graveyard. He should not have
weakened but should have persisted in
his determinat ton to run for governor
of New York"

BRAVE OFFICERS.
GEN. MILES REPLIES TO CRITI-
CISM THAT THEY ARE
FOOLHARDY.

New York, July GA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Colonel Liscum's death while leading
the Ninth United States Infantry in the
fight of the allied forces at Tien Tsin has
led many to ask if our officers are not
needlessly reckless while under fire. Cen
ers.l Miles, answering this question, said:
American officers are as brave as any
in the world. They rank as high in valor
as the officers of any European govern
ment. Neither in Cuba or in Porto Rico
did they needlessly expose themselves
Colonel Liscum met his death at the
head of his regiment, and here I might
say that the records will show that the
percentage of colonels killed in action
Is greater in proportion to their num-
ber than those killed of any other
grade.
1.-The colonels place is with his regi-
ment and when 1t advances he generally
leads. 1t Is his duty to discover the po-
sition of the enemy and to keep his men
in an advantageous position. Officers
are always a mark for the enemy and
the duties of a colonel naturally expose
him more or less. Unmounted the colo
mel is at disadvantage, as he cannot
so readily view the enemy's position nor
SO quickly cover the ground. Mounted,
, he is more easily a target for the sharp
shooters of the opposing force.
1.-THE colonel is generally to be found
with the cOlors in the center of the regi-
ment the lieutenant colonel command
ing the right wing and the senior major
the left. If they are moved back the
/ alignment is still kept, by backward
movement. Next to the colonel the most
dangerous position is that of color bear
er. and I Saw at the battle of Antietam
twelve men successfully killed as they,
one by one, picked up and carried on the
colprs."
The general was reminded Of the crit
,cism of our officers at Santiago by the
German attache who watched the oner-
atoms of the Americans. who said they
were need'essly and wantonlv reckless.
AS to this the general asks if the Ger
man attache was an authority. He said
he did not agree with him and was Of
/ the opinion that the German was great.

whether or not the English officers were
