Valuable Records Destroyed.
The hre destroyed the original roster OF
the regiment as Il was organized In 1850 and
the portraits Of Colonel Abram s. vosburg.
Colonel Martin. who succeeded Colonel vos-
burg after the latter's death at washington;
a portrait Of General McAlpin, who was
once colonel of the regiment, and which
was presented to the armory by some Of his
comrades Of Company q. and a very old por-
trait Of Washington; the original Of the
famous painting Of Generals Grant, Sherman
and Sheridan and a $1,000 sword presented
by the state Of Massachusetts for the serv-
ices Of the Massachusetts, volunteers: all
the original war records and rosters. besides
numbers Of other value trophies, prizes and
articles.
Hotel DAMAGED $4,000.
The damage to the Park Avenue hotel,
Manager Reed said, would not exceed $780,
600. The hotel is still open and lie serv-
ing meals and providing accommodation for
Its guests. Many of the guests Of the no
tel signed their pames to a paper testify
ing that they believed Manager Reed did
all he could to warn the guests OF the pres
ence Of the fire as quickly as possible and
that his conduct was heroic.
Major General G. F. Roe estimated the
state loss tonight as between $500 and
S100, 900.
The armory contained" he said, 1.-THE
headquarters Of the First brigade, the Sew
enty-frst regiment. with about $50 ofhcers
and men; the First signal corps, with three
officers and forty men, and the Second bat
terry, with nve officers and eighty men.
THE state owned the clothing supplied
to all these n Il was worth about $50 to
a man. Counting the men as 1000, the
uniforms were worth $780, 0O. The general
stores, including belts, haversacks, canteens
and all the things that go to make up the
soldiers outfit, come from the United
States government direct from Washington
and charged against the allowance OF S7o,-
600 a year, which is this states share of
the yearly appropriation Of congress for
the maintenance of national guards with
Its camp equippage, which is also derived
from the same source. The Seventy first
had a distinctive dress uniform. Il Is
thought about $50 were In the armory, and
the loss on them was about $1s,0 900. II all
the dress uniforms were in the armory the
loss on them is probably twice that amount.
Field Pieces May he Saved
THE drill floor Of the armory was heav-
lily Ordered, but was broken or burned
through The field pieces of the Second bat
terry were under this floor and from what /
hear they were not materially injured.
Arrangements have already been made
for the introduction at Albany next week
of a bill appropriating $4,000 for the re-
lief Of the organizations burned out. New
equipment can be drawn from Washington
and charged to the current years appro-
p~rlation.

Fire Chic Croker said:
ST believe the nre in the hotel was sep
arate and distinct from that which de-
stroyed the armory and the IRE did not
catch from any sparks from the armory.
The IRE originated in the basement and
spread through the elevator shaft TO the
upper stories. The fact that the hotel was
practically freproof was responsible for the
fact that = greater e0nnagration was
averted."
Police Captain John ). Delaney said be
was positive the IRE was due to nyine
sparks from the armory and to nothing
else.
Thousands thronged the side streets and
the avenue In front Of the hotel all day
Police lines were stretched, but were
quickly broken by the crowd. The cross.

With his assistance the two women were

been a guest at the hotel for three days,
has this to say Of the IRE:
Guests Relate story of Fire.
II was in a room on the second floor,
front, facing Park avenue. About 1880
o'clock I was awakened by the noise and
excitement that attended the burning ar
mory. l went down into the hall and met
a man Fastening through the corridor. He
said to me without asking q question:
Don't worry; this hotel is Hreproof. There
is no danger
There is always danger I said. I lost
my wife ten years ago by q ere IN a
Nebraska hotel and l an going out as fast
as I cam
"I went to my room aad gathered I few
things together. The fire in the armory
was being extineuished. and the danger
was less. I remained in my room for over
an hour and then FASTENED down stairs.
Soon afterward the flames were discovered
in the hotel. There was no notification
and no calling by any Of the hotel en-
ployes that / heard. 8

Sugar production in Cuba first be-
gan to assume important proportions
about the year 1910, when the crop
amounted to 100000 tons. (This year is
also noted as being the first in which
records of the beet sugar industry
appeared.)
The production increased to $4,000
tons in 1898, and to $4,000 tons in
1868, when what is known as the ''Ten
Years War" began. However, for the
first seven years of this war the crops
averaged 100000 tons, but in 1876 fell
off to $4,000 tons, and in 1877 20
$40, 900 tons; in 1878, the last year OF
the war, the production was $4,000
tons. For the ten years-1S79-1SSS-l
the crops averaged nearly 100000 tons
During the last ten years OF Spanish
occupancy the production varied greaE-
ly, exceeding one million tons in eaeh
of the years 1894 and 1895, and after
the beginning of the insurrectlon run
ming as low as 225, 900 tons in 1896, and
PIP. 900 tons in 1897. The average for
this decade was about 900 tons.
The expectation of sugar for the cal
endar year 1899 was, in round num-
bers. BIT 900 tons; in 1900, $4,000 tons,
and, in 1901, $4,000 tons, and during
the entire period of American occupa-
ton more than 100000 tons.
1t is estimated by good authorities
that about two million acres, or one
fourteenth of the total acreage of the
island. is devoted to the culture Of
sugar cane With the establishment OF
new plants equipped with the latest
appliances, the planters secured from
violence, and a removal of the onerous
burdens of the various taxes formerly
imposed by the government of Spain,
the acreage in cane may be greatly in
creased. and the cost of production re-
duced to a minimum.-Governmeht

SPRECKELS PROJECTS.
1t is reported that the Spreckels peo-
pie are about to build a refinery in
Montreal, Canada, and another on the
Pacific at Vancouver, in which their
new process of refining, as now prac-
ticed in New York, will be adopted.
While the Federal Sugar Refinery at
Yonkers has not been very large
business. it has apparently remained
in successful operation, and seems to
confirm Mr.. Claus Spreckels and his
co-adjutors in the belief that with their
process they can more than success
fully compete with the sugar trust.
