the principal issue storehouse at the
United States arsenal, was destroyed
by fire last night, together with it's
contents. It was filed with cavalry
and infantry equipments Of every de-
scription and million rounds Of
KragJorgensen smokeless, ammuni-
ton. The contents were valued at
$1,5o0,0oo. The building was a. mas
sive structure, three stories in height,
and was erected 20 years ago at a cost
Of 100000.
The fire was discovered at $3.50
O'clock: The arsenal department be-
ing unable to cope with the fire, the
Rock Island and Davenport city de-
partments. were called upon for assist
ance, and each sent two companies to
the island.
- Like the Roar Of Battle.
The exploding of the rifle ammuni-
ton for two hours maintained a con-
tinuous rattle of musketry resem-
bling battle. The fire was fought
hard until the conditions became dan
gerous to life on account of the large
amount of ammunition in the burning
building. The building then was left,
to its fate, and all attention was de-
voted to saving the rest of the plant.
Mass Of Goals. ~
The sight of the burning building
furnished spectacle to thousands of
people who lined the bluffs on both
sides of the Mississippi, in the midst
of which the arsenal lies on a beautiful
island. By midnight nothing was left
of the immense shop and all it had con-
tanned but mass of glowing. GOALS.
The fire had burned itself out, destroy
ing one of the governments finest
storehouses and a most valuable col
lection of equipment.
Busy with Large Orders.
The arsenal, had been busy with
large orders recently, working 1900
men and advertising widely for ma
chinists to work on rush orders re-
ceived, from the war department..
Most of the factory capacity is left
intact, but there is an immense gap
opened in the stores on hand by the
work Of the flames. The new small
arms plant, equipped at cost of sew
eral millions of dollars and about
ready to turn out the new model Of
rifles, escaped the flames.
Cause Of the Fire.
Mai. Blunt, who has been in charge
of the arsenal for the last six years,
said the fire probably started from
defective electric wires. Electric
lights were installed in the building
but few days ago and it is thought
the wires may have become crossed.
The Rock Island arsenal covers 1000
acres of ground and employs more
than 400 men. The main shop adj
joins the burned storehouse. Alto
gether the plant formed the largest
military supply house in the United
States.,s as.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Gen. Crozier,

lives, it is feared that. the number was
really greater.

really greater.
s. Half the People Drowned.
On Hilxuera island, where 1000 in
habitants were engaged in pearl div
ing, nearly one-half were drowned.
On an adjacent island, 100 more were
washed out to sea. The islands of
Makokau and Hao are depopulated.
Conservative estimates at Tahiti
place the number Of islands visited by
tidal wave and hurricane at 80. All
of them are under the control of the
French governor of Tahiti.
The surviving Inhabitants are left
destitute of food, shelter and clothing,
all having been swept away by the
storm.
France Sends Relief.
The French government upon re-
ceipt of news of the disaster took
prompt measuressto relieve the sur
yivors and dispatched two warships,
the Duranee and .Zelee, with fresh wa
ter and provisions. The Italian man
of-war Calabria accompanied the two
French vessels on their errand of
mercy. AS the supply of fresh water
and provisions was totally exhausted
by the storm it. is feared that many
lives will be lost before the relief ships
arrive.
Valuable Shells Lost.
Thousands, of tons of copra and over
200 tons of mother Of pearl are
known to be lost. The pearl shells are
valued at $500 per ton, and many
valuable pearls may now be lost to the
world forever, as these were consid-
cred some of the best pearl islands
in the world. The devastated islands
are approximately 1900 miles south
of the Hawaiian islands and /, 400 miles
from the Samoan group.

Joseph Hennegar the second base

never made public has all kinds OF
bouquets pinned on him by the Little
Rock Gazette Hennegar won home
in Little Rock Immediately, and has
become the pet of the fans there. The
local fans raised a howl when he
was released, but all to no purpose
While in the Cotton States league he
was rated among the best hitters,
and now that he has gone against
the best pitchers in the south, his rec
ord is still more remarkable. Pine

''The find Of the late season by Lit

released by Pine Bluff for some cause
and snatched up by Little Rock as
quickly as possible. Finn had had his

could not get him. So when he found
Joe lying around idle with a release
in his pocket he was happy. So was

He is hitting 1856 in the sixteen games

Browns Poor Record.

Brown was not in uniform yesterday,
having been released by the local as
sociation. Brown has always been
touted as pitcher of the first rank,
but from the locks of his record his
place will not be hard to fill. Brown
has pitched twenty-five games for the
locals of which he has won four, lost
sixteen. and tied two giving him a
