Twelve hotels and more than a score of
small buildings adjoining the Board Walk,
which is built along the ocean edge, We're
destroyed by a fire which swept the beach
front for two long blocks-from Illinois
Avenue to New York Avenue. The loss,
it is estimated. will exceed S750,0Oo. In this
respect tho conhagration is the most dis
astrous that has ever visited this city.
The loss will be only partly covered by
insurance, as the rate of 5 per cent.
charged by insurance companies on prop

tive.
Fortunately no lives were sacrificed,
though probably a dozen persons We're
slightly injured and burned during the

MAJOR GEN. BROOKE SUED.
HAVANA COUNTESS DECLARES HE
ABOLISHED HER RIGHTS, DESPITE
PRESIDENTS ORDERS.

Suit was entered in the United States District
Court yesterday by Donna Maria Francisco
O'Reilly de Camera. Countess of Buena Vista.
through Coudert Brothers, against Major Gen
eral John r. Brooke, for S2300O0 She alleges
that General Brooke deprived her Of the privi-
leges OF the slaughter house in Havana. and
the attached enloluments.
In 1704 by decree of the King of Spain the
Office of High Sheriff of Havana was established
This entitled the holder to a seat in the Munic-
ipal Council, and to slaughter all the cattle for
the city, to sell the meat and to collect all
moneys for the same at fixed charges. This Office
alenable and hereditary. II was sold at
auction, and Up till 1888 was in the family Of
the De Ia Puerta. Soon after that it passed
by purchase to the Count O'Reilly. husband Of
the daughter of the last incumbent, and from
him 10 his heirs, one of whom is Donna Fran
cisca-
In 1878 the privilege Of sitting in the Arunic-
ipal Council was denied the High Sheriff. but
the slaughter house privilege was still in effect
and was exercised by the plaintiff till 1899 In
1895. the estate Of Count O'Reilly having be-
come indebted to several people suit was
brought and settled, with the understanding
that one-half interest in the slaughter house
to be sold for the benefit Of the creditors
This half interest was purchased by DR.. Gus
tavo Gallet Duplessis.
In 1899 General Brooke. then Military Gov
eTnoT Of Cuba, issued an order terminating the
hereditary privileges connected with the slaugh-
ter OF cattle in Havana held by the O'Reilly
family, and commanding that the business
should be conducted by the authorized agents
OF the city.
This the plaintiff alleges. is in direct viola
tion Of the Treaty of Paris. which says in its
first article that so long as the occupation lasts
the United States shall assume and discharge
all obligations under international law for the
protection Of life and property. The Countess
appealed, and General Brooke ordered that the
Office Of High Sheriff. with all its privileges, be
abolished. This is construed by the plaintiff
q direct contra dction Of the President of the
United States's order OF July Is, 1880 declaring
that the municipal laws of the conquered terri
tory affecting private rights of person and
property shall be considered as continuing in so
far compatible with the new order OF things.
