been burned. The loss in property is
SAC, 900. Three buildings were destroyed.
Three horses were burned to death in
their stalls and three others had to be
shot.
The fire is supposed to have been
started by tramps striking matches in
a livery stable adjoining a rooming-
house on the corner of Cascade avenue
and Huerfano street. The wind famed
the flames to the other buildings and
the entire fire department was called
out. For a time it appeared that a
large section of the business district
would be swept away, but the flames
were finally brought under control.

LAPSING OF ISLE OF PINES
TREATY DUE TO OVERSIGHT
yention Expires Before Officials
Realize Long Delay.

HAVANA, Feb. 25.-The lapsing Of
the Isle of Pines treaty on account of
its not being ratified within the time
limit is regarded hereN to be mainly
due to the fact that the State Depart
ment at Washington did not call at
tention TO the matter. 1t would also
appear however, that the Cuban STATE
Department failed to remember this
time limit. The treaty was signed in
Havana. July g 1903, and was ratified
by the Cuban Senate on July 49, since
when it has been pending in the United
States Senate. The last condition of
the treaty was to the effect that the
ratification should be exchanged in
Washington within seven months of the
date of signing.
Persons interested in securing Amer
ican sovereignty for the Isle of Pines
are jubilant over the lapse, considering
ii TO be setback which gives promise
of the defeat Of the proposition that
the island remains under Cuban SOW
ereignty

Cancels Shipment
of Beef for the
Russians.

After loading about a million pounds
of mess beef aboard the Pacific Mail
steamship China, scheduled to start
for the Orient to-day, Getz Bros, pro-
vision exporters of this city, changed
their mind last evening and ordered
the meat returned to the dock. The
work of unloading will delay the yes
sells departure until l o'clock to-mor-
row afternoon, as the barrels contain
ing the beef are slowed deep in various
parts of the hold
Ii was the capture of two previous
conslsnments of the same kind of
freight by the Japanese Government
that caused the consignors to alter
their plans. The beef is the third and
last shipment intended for consump-
tlon by the Russian troops in the
Orient. The first one was seized aboard
the Coptic at Nagasaki, and the second
one met a similar fate aboard the Ko-
rea. So, after considering the chances
of getting the third one through
aboard the China, the consignors de-
cided that they were not worth taking,
as the japanese naval authorities evil
IDENTIFY were cognizant of the contract
when it was effected and of how and
when it was proposed to transport the
beef to it's destination.
Louis Getz last evening said that he
was not prepared to reveal his firm S
plans with regard to the meat recalled
from the China
THE Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany was willing enough to take the
consignment" he said but after what
occurred to our preceding shipments
we decided it would be unsafe to at
tempt a third one via the same route.
Just now we do not care to disclose
what we intend to do with the beef. >
GetZ Bros. obtained the Russian
Government order for 100000 pounds
of mess beef through their branch
house at Shanghai. and it was a
rush order. Kansas City and Omaha
packing houses were called upon to
fill the contract, and the first special
trainload of meat arrived here in time
for shipment on the Coptic, which
sailed on January Is. The steamship
was overhauled at Nagasaki and the
meat was conf1scated. A similar fate
befell the second shipment, which left
here on February 2 on the Korea. Both
consignments were billed through to
VladiYostok.
1t was rumored last evening that
Getz Bros. had chartered sailing yes
sci to attempt TO run the guantlet of
Japanese warships that is lowering
off VIadivostok. but no authentic
confirmation of the report could be OBJ
tanned It is likely that whatever is
done in the way of getting the beef to
it's ultimate destination will be done
very quietly, as the Japanese Govern
ment evidently is keeping itself in
formed, through it's agents in this coun-
try, of the eneny's plans( to plenlsh
its commissiarat.
