ward, to be presented to Governor

ragansett cafe, and In spite OF the vIg-,
orous efforts made to check it the cafe
and adjoining buildings were soon in
flames. A hard fight was made to save
the Narragansett hotel, which stood
just across the driveway, but the wind
and flames were too much, and the no
tel caught and burned like a finder
box.
The intense heat from this building
drove back the fremen, and the fire
then spread to the Naiad and the tele-
graph Office, both of which were de-
stroyed. At this time the winds shift
ed to southwest and thus helped the
volunteer fremen, who made desper-
ate but vain attempt to save the Ma
tional hotel.
At times it seemed as II they would
succeed, but the falling of the roof Of
the telegraph office sent up a fresh
blaze, and the east end of the National
was soon in blaze. The building
burned fiercely and in half an hour
was heap of ashes.
In the meantime the corps OF fight
ers turned their attention to the seem
ingly hopeless task of saving the Surf
hotel. Again and again the intense
heat of the burning National drove
them back, and several times the Surf
hotel was afire, but the wind shifted to
the south and the building was saved
L. G.. Negus fell exhausted from the
roof of the Surf hotel and was severely
injured. None of the guests of the ho-
tells was injured, and all saved their

 Is Rotten.

London, June 20.-During tho discus slcn of the navy estimates in the House of Conmt ns today, Rear Admiral Lord Charies Bcresfcrd. conservative, scath- ingly criticized tho deficiency of the navy
 He declared the whole admiralty sys- tenn was rotten and led to great extrav- agance, cnd that there was a general want If efficiency in the navy on which depended the existence of the empire. This was tho judgment Of all the com missions of inouiry end had been proven a fact. Every increase in the number of ships and every improvement in them had been the result of outside agitation. As the result of such agitation the British Mediterranean fleet was now fourth stronger than year ago.
 It was remarkable, Lord Beresbord add ed that both army and navy officers were compelled to threaten to resign in order to get things lighted. Great Britain had only twenty thousand naval reserves in- stead of the requisite eighty thousand, and the engineering room departments were thousands of men short.
 AS to armament both the United State: and France possessed superior guns Elunders would continue until 6 sepa rate business board was appointed at th admiralty and was made responsible fo the efficiency of the fleet. Treasury con trol was fatal to efficiency.
