was in jeopardy and the rehearsal
broke up abruptly.
The alarm was turned in at IL O'Clock
and when the engines arrived the sec
ond story of the house nearest Mrs.
Loves premises was in flames. Two
streams of water were played on the
end room and an opening was made
into the space between the upper cell
lngs and the roof where the fire had
spread rapidly. The fire was practically
extinguished inside of fifteen minutes
and detachment of firemen was then
put at work opening up the ceiling and
putting water on several timbers which
were smoldering.
The fire started In Grimlarks room,
which was entirely gutted. The occu-
pant was seen to rush out of his room,
down the stairway and out to the street,

time being. There was a general sour
rying of half-dressed roomers when the
flames burst out and little was done for
few minutes to rescue furniture or
clothing. The house is owned by Mr..

house by Mrs. j. Short.

COMMANDMENT
AT TUTUILA
Capt. Sebree Passes Through
on His Way to
Samoa

Among the passengers OF the Ventura
was Captain w. Sebree, who goes to
PagO Pago to succeed Commodore TilIey
as naval commander of Tutuiia. AL
though he is not officially the governor
of the island, he will nevertheless actual
ly fill that position.
Captain Sebree was for the past three
years the light house inspector of San
Francisco, and it was quite a surprise to
him when he suddenly was called to fill
the position of naval commander Of Tu-
tuila.
Captain Sebree said last night that he
expected and hoped that the court mar
tial over Commodore Tilley would be at
an end when he arrived a Pago Pago.
The new commander has been in this
city before, but has never as yet been in
the Samoan possessions He does not
expect that it will be necessary to effect
many changes in the governing of Tu-
tuila, which has been held by Lieutenant
James since Commodore Tilley was re
lieVed.
