REDUCTION OF NAVAL FORCE.
Navy Department to Reduce Asiatic
Squadron-Few of the Larger YES
sells VIII be Removed.

Washington, July The navy de-
partment contemplates making a mate
rial reduction of the naval force on the
Asiatic station in the near future. 1t IS
the view here hat while ouu interests
in the east are most important, the
large number of American warships
gathered in Chinese and Philippine wa
tiers is considerable above the proper
ratio. The plans, it is said, contemplate
ordering at least one Of the flag COM
manders on the Asiatic station to other
duty.
Rear Admiral Rodgers, now COM
mander in chief of the station, has
been in Asiatic waters for about a year
and a half, while Rear Admirals Evans
and Wilde, senior and junior squadron
commanders, respectively, nave only
been on the station about half a year.
The ships brought to the United States
probably will include but a few of our
largest vessels now stationed there,
but will be confined to a considerable
number of small cruisers and gunboats'

Files Complaint Against Ambassa-
dor Meyer at Rome.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July THE first
Icaller- On President Roosevelt at Sara
more Hill since his arrival here was
Rev. job Hay Cushing, a Catholic
priest of Denver. Colo, who went today
to file a complaint against Ambassador
Meyer al Rome. Mr.. Gushing claims
that he and twenty-eight other priests
were driven out of the Denver diocese
by Bishop Matt for no other reason than
their failure to vote FOR him for the
%bishopric. He said he was the fourth
to go.
Protests were sent to Rome and later
the % priests as we'll as Bishop MatZ
went there to state their case before the
vatican. The fight a continued with
out success eve since 1888. In 1901
Bishop Matz is alleged to have a Mr..
ICushing arrested in Rome for forcing
himself into his presence and it is said
Gushing was put in Jail by the Italian
authorities who openly admitted that it
was in retaliation for the lynching of
Italians at New Orleans. He claims he
was treated to great indignitieS and
that Ambassador Meyer and Consul De-
Castro were negligent IN protecting him
as an American citizen. Mr.. Gushing
claims further that three New York
men furnished Bishop Matz with $4,000
with which to fight the nineteen priests
lin their claim to restoration to e%cclesi-
~astical functions. When Mr.. Gushing
lcalled the president was not at home,
but he left certain papers and will re-
turn here on Thursday.

CLINTON overwhelmed WITH
FLAMES ON SUNDAY
GREAT LOSS OF PROPERTY
Two Business Blocks. Destroyed-The
Tovn-Th Total Loss VII APP
proximnte 100000 With Possibly
Only x2O.OOO Insurance-Goldsboro
Rushe~ Her Fire Department tn
the Rescue of the Burning Town.
Especial TO The Messenger.)


Goldsboro. y. c, July The town OF
Clinton suffered a very destructive fire
yesterday, when about one-third OF the
town went up in smoke and ashes. The
mayor OF Goldsboro was asked by tele-
phone to send aid TO stop the fire and
a special train was made up here and
left with the steam fire engine, the hook
and ladder truck and a hose wagon.
The special train left here about >
o'clock in the afternoon and arrived at
Clinton at 3:15 o'clock. At that time
the fire had burned its way through the
entire eastern part OF the town and had
only stopped when there was nothing
else to burn. The Messengers CORE
spondent went down on the special and
viewed the desolate scene.
One entire block of the business por-
ton of the town from the Murphy ho4el
to the railroad had been burned, to-
gether with a number of the handsom-
est residences Of the town. Household
furniture and goods, wares and mer-
chandise were strewn in every direction
over the unburned district. In some in
stances merchants had moved their
goods two and three times and finally
had to abandon them to the flames. In
some places the streets We're blocked
with goods which were lying in the
dirt.
The fire originated in a store belong
ing to Jasper Carr. What caused the
fire will probably never be known. The
loss is estimated at 500, 600 with about
$50, 200 insurance. The principal suffer-
erS from the fire are: Charles Boyett,
Charles Crumpler, Dave Giddens, Mrs.
D. E. Clifton, Rooney Williamson,
Charles Butler, J.. o. Powell, j. p. Par
ker, F. A. Atkins, II. NJ. Ferrall, j. A.
Stevens, B. Herring, B.. F. Powell, DR..
A. NJ. Lee, DR.. r. E. Lee, j. H. Carr,
A. F. Johnson, H. j. Hubbard & Bro.
H. P. Johnson, p. G. Holmes, the Epis-
copal church, w. T. Williamson. Geo.
Turner, j. A. Beamon & Co., George
Jones and T. NJ. Ferrall.
Among the residences destroyed We're
those of Mrs. D.. G. Giddens, James Will
hanson, Charles Crumpler, DR.. Charles
Boyette, Mrs. w. T. Hodnett and d. z.
Clifton.
IA telegram was also received in Will
mington asking that an engine and fire
men to be sen to the relief of Clinton.
but it was impossible to grant the re-
quest. Wilmington deeply sympathizes
with Clinton in this great disaster. 1t
is stated thai the loss will be fully
500, 900 and hat there is not even $780,
600 insurance.
