SAN JUAN, MAY 7, 1901.
The Jacksonville Fire.

The great fire at Jacksonville, Florida,
adds another TO the already large list OF
destructive disasters which have marked the
past year in the United States. Wholesale
destruction by fire and flood has caused the
loss of thousands Of lives and millions of
dollars worth Of property.
The complete story of the jacksonville
fire has not yet reached US, but from the
cable dispatches to the BOLETIN, it would
appear that the entire city, with its mag
nificent hotels and other important public
and private buildings, had been practically
wiped out. In addition to the enormous
loss OF pr Jperiy, many lives have also been
sacrificed to the flames.
Immed a.e steps will doubtless be taken
looking towards the rebuilding of the city.
Jacksonville has well been called ''the
Gateway of Florida" Ii is the moSt i'm
pO tant commercial city in the state and
has very fine barbor. Through it nearly
all the commerce OF Florida must me
and go 1t can therefore be only a queS
tion of time ickeu the. business and reSld
encs portions of the town will be restored
1t may be some time, however, before The
splendid hotels, which 'have added so much
to the attractiveueSS Of Jacksonville are
again built up, but when they are, even
more magnificent structures may be erected
than those destroyed.
To many of the citizens of San Juan, liv-
ing in city which seems to be almost fire
prOO7, it may seem strange that fire, how
ever great, can 60 rght through an entire
city, destroying everything in It's path. But,
although heretofore, the city has enjoyed
practical immunity FROM fire witain the
older built up portions Of the town, that is
no reason why every reasonable precaution
should not be taken to avoid any possible
danger from this s0urte.
The burning Of the Porto Rican Steam
ship COmpany's pier the other day, while,
from the swiftness with achich the fire spread,
could probably not have been controlled hy
the most efficient fire department, never
thelesS demonstrated the fact that there is
practically no means of protection against
fire now available. a city Of the size and
Importance of San Juan should certainly
have modern Fire Department, properly
equipped with modern appliances. We are
not advised as to what the cost of this would
be or whether, in the present state of the
municipal finances the AyuntamientO would
feel justified in taking any immediate steps
in this direction, but at the same time we
call the attention of our g City Fathers
to the matter in the hope that they may
give it the serious consideration it deser-
yes.

At MausoNeums cf the Sreat

One of the most beautiful drives in Europe is the broad one. shaded by four rows of overhanging elm trees which stretches for a distance of some seven miles from Windsor Castle to Virginia waters. The surrounding park of the castle is an extensive and magnificent one. Last summer we walked along this famous driveway some half mile in East park to a point just opposite the spire of the royal mausoleum at Frogmore, and sat down on the beautiful grassy lawn which borders the drive. The pres ence of American tourists is generally noted by enterprising foreigners. princi- pally, I suspect. because they seem to think that they are always hungry. At least the English think that Americans are tremendous eaters. As usual how ever, in about two minutes the inevitable vender of edibles happened along and while we purchased his luscious cherries we also made heavy demands upon his fund of information. We found that he had been present at the burial of the late queen-no doubt selling his cherries meanwhile-and took great pleasure in
 
 the casket rested for the last time, and the gateway where the funeral procession entered the private park in front of the East Terrace of the castle. We could see the little houses of Frogmore lodge very distinctly, and the impressive mausoleum with its slender spire nearby. Here in the cool quiet shady depths of the royal park rests all that is mortal of England's late Queen As we talked oF4fa nf tar l,, which all the world was interested we grew retrospective and the minutes flew by unheeded-
 One young member declared though that there was something very satisfac- tory after all in feeling that people were laid away just as they had planned and wished and that there was nothing more that her admiring country people

 Not always ended" some one put in, Tor characters in fiction have been known to come back even from the grave"
 But the noon hour was approaching and we hastened back to Windsor and continued on the beautiful drive past Eton College, which is one of the most famous preparatory colleges in England, to Stoke-Pogis, with the little church, and its quiet old churchyard nestled close by.
 The churchyard is the scene of Gray's famous "Elegy" and now contains his grave. Nothing is more characteristic

AS more troops are required in the
Philippines, so Kitchener asks for more
men in South Africa. No one can set
a limit of time in South Africa any
more than any one can set a limit Of
time in the Philippines. The story Of
De Vets death should be received with
great deal of salt. He may be sick
and the report be spread to prevent
any pursuit of him. The reported ris-
ing of Cape Colony is another canard
from South Africa. Instead Of being
successful in the South, Botha has had
