The FIRE caught about O'Clock, pre-

arrived the entire ore dock, half a mile
long, was in flames. An engine was

CLEARED THE FREIGHT YARDS.
Pittsburg Switchmen Sent Out o5 Trains
Inside of Five Hours.

AhSHdO VI tive AAOuASs
Pittsburg, Nov. 26.-After So hours
of the most strenuous activity ON the
part of the greatly augmented forces
of men and locomotives, the Penn
sylvania railroad system has made a
comparative cleaning up of its congest-
ed terminals. The car movement
breaks all records of similar kind. 1t
is estimated that $4,000 cars were
moved in and out of Pittsburg. In five
hours 95 trains we're started for Altoona
by the Pennsylvania, 20 per cent heav-
ier than the record.
Tonight the Pennsylvania railroad
yards are freei from distractions than
at any time within five months, but the
receipts of cras destined for Pittsburg
shippers will fill them up before tomor-
row is passed. The Cars will be moved
in from the outlying sidetracks which,
for 80 miles along every approach to the
city, have been stagnated with cars
laden with all manner of crude pro-
ducts.
In the yards of the Pittsburg & Lake
Erie and Baltimore & Ohio also good
work was accomplished, and tonight
their terminals are comparatively close
to normal conditions. Before 6 o'clock
eight trainmen had been taken to the
hospital injured at various points.

PHILIPPINES WANT GOLD.
of Silver Seriously Interfer,
in Transaction of Business.

Fluctuations of Silver Seriously Interfere
i'm Transaction of Business.
Manila, Nov. 26 Silver has suffered
another decline in value. The govern
ment has issued proclamation making
the official rate $3.50 for 81 gold. The
former rate was $3.50.
The possibility of the adoption by
the Straits settlements of a gold stand
ard, and the reports current that Mexi-
co is about to abandon the silver stand
ard, have greatly weakened the Indian
and Asiatic silver market. Large guam
titles of Mexican silver are coming here
from China, as it is believed that much
gold is being circulated here on account
of government expenditures. The fact
is that American trade is going to
China, and the losses in silver are seri-
ously affecting the zinsular treasury and
business interests generally. The rap
idly changing rates embarrass the bust
ness houses, making it almost impossi-
BILE to fix prices. The native officials
are beginning to petition for the pay
ment of salaries in gold, and the de-
mand for stable currency is universal.
The secretary of finance says:
There is nothing to indicate more
hopeful future for the currency ques-
ton. 1t will probably be as bad as
now, if not worse, until congress acts
and gives us stable currency

SPANISH WAR CLAIMS.
United States Took the Place of Spain
i'm Cuba.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The Spanish
claims commission has enunciated the
principles by which it will be governed
in passing upon the various demurrers
which have been submitted to it in con-
nection with the claims now under
consideration on account OF the war be-
tween Spain and Cuba. The general
basis is laid down that in assuming the
responsi bility which would have other
wise been Spain's the United States is
bound to pay all claims for which Spain
could have been held. 1t is further
held that the insurrection in Cuba had
gone beyond the control of the Spanish
government and that it was not respon-
sible for damages done to foreigners by
the insurgents. If, however, it be
shown that the Spanish authorities
might have prevented the damage done
in any particular case by the exercise
of due diligence the commission an
nounces that it will hold that Spain is
liable.
The commission announces further
thai It will rake judicial notice that the
Cuban insurrection passed from first be-
yOnd the control of Spain, and so con-
tinued until the Intervention of the
United States. 1t is further held that
Spain was entitled TO adopt such war
measures for the recovery OF her au-
thority as are sanctioned by the rules
and usages of international warfare.
If, however, it be alleged and proved
in any particular case that the acts of
the Spanish authorities or soldiers were
contrary to such rules and usages.
Spain will be held liable in that case.
This decision does not, however, so
to the extent of saying that the recon-
centration orders were legitimate acts
OF war. There is to be further argu
ment on that subject.
Ex-senator Chandler, chairman of the
committee, and Commissioner Maury
dissent from the rules adopted.

MORE MONEY NECESSARY.
Increase in Prices of Building Materials
Delaying Government Work.

Increase in Prices OF Building Materials
Delaying Government Work.
Washington, Nov. 26.-The attention
of Secretary Moody was directed today
to the fact that it would he impossible
to complete the buildings at the naval
academy within the limit of cost fixed
by congress, owing to the very large in
crease in the price of material. When
the new academy buildings were
planned congress fixed the limit of
cost at 100000, and Secretary
Long apportioned this sum among the
various buildings and Improvements.
Since then it has been decided to erect
a hospital and also to do certain
dredge work in the Severn. Captain
Brownson, superintendent of the acad-
emy, who was at the academy today,
called the secretary's attention to the
fact that since 1900 the price of build
ing material had increased on an aver
age of over 80 per cent. This, he told
the secretary, would make it impossible
to complete the buildings within the
limits fixed by congress. It is prob
able that the secretary will call the at
tention of congress to the matter in his
annual report.
