Nursery and Hospital Mt West New
Brighton Durncd.
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-While Staten
Islands entire fire department looked
on helplessly the main building of the
Staten island Day Nursery and hos
pital at Castleton Corners, West New
Brighton, was entirely destroyed by
flames. Ten minutes before the fire
was discovered $50 children, ranging
in age from two to eight years, had
been in the building. AS the last tot
was marched out for the usual exercise
on the lawn the alarm of fire was
sounded, and the little ones looked on
while their imposing home was de
stroyed.
When the firemen got their lines OF
hose attached it was found that not a
drop of water could be obtained.
Forming a bucket brigade, for twenty
minutes water was passed from a els
tern, while other firemen attacked the
passageways which connected the main
building with the smaller ones which
surrounded it.
In this way they confined the flames
to the main building, which had been
destroyed before a line of hose was
laid from the pipes of the Eclisteln
brewery.

NEARLY A RIOT
At Alliance Between Ital-
ians and Boys.

Alliance, o., Aug. 5.-(Staff Specially
in the vicinity OF Prospect street near
Freedom avenue this evening when a
fight, which almost took the form of
a riot, took place between a gang of
Is Italians and about 10 young men.
The trouble originated over the fact
that the foreigners prevented two
young boys from obtaining their bicy-
cles from a building near Prospect
street, by chasing them away. The boys
came on Main street and reported tho
matter to crowd of young men. As
quickly as they learned of what had
been done to the boys, the young men
became angered and started for the
place where the "hunkies" were. Ar
riving at the spot 1t was readily seen
that the foreigners were assuming an
tagonistic attitudes. Not going to be
baffied, even If the numbers were super
ior the Americans made a rush for
their enemies using bricks, stones and
other weapons. After rev minutes OIL
furious fighting some of the Italians
broke and took to their heels leaving
the others to fight 1t out. This sort

ANOTHER BLUFF
MAY BE MADE AGAINST
THE SULTAN
IS STILL RECALCITRANT
Uncle Sam Has Other
Troubles.

Washington, d. c., August 5.-The
pressing demands of diplomacy have
called Secretary of State Hay from his
pleasant summer home in the noun
tains of New Hampshire to an over
heated city.
today was for the express purpose of
taking up with the president and his
official family the perplexing problems
that press upon the United States for
solution.
The sultan of Turkey, after months
of parleymg and delay refuses salts
factory answer to the demands that
subjects of the United States be grant
ed equal rights with those of other
countries in establishing schools and
other educational institutions in the
Turkish empire
President Castro of Venezuela has
seized the property of the American
asphalt trust and Minister Bowen re-
ports that he has filed an emphatic
protest as directed by this government.
Santo Domingo is again in disturb
ance, and a battleship has been asked
for by the United States consul.
Haiti is in a state of disruption and
complications are feared
These are few of the more press
ing questions that must be solved
without delay by the president and Sec
| retary Hay.
The cable advice from Minister Daw-
son ut San Domingo that warship
MIGHT with propriety be sent at once to
Monte Cristi and kept there came as a
| positive surprise. 1t was not believed
the revolutionary spirit was strong
enough in the southern republic to
threaten foreign interests. Monte
Cristi has been the stronghold of jim
inez, the deposed president of the re-
/ public. Several gunboats of the Car
ibbean squadron are within two days of
Santo Domingo and the navy depart
ment will be asked to order one to
Santon Domingo Immediately.
/ AS to Turkey the United States bat
/ tleship squadron of the North Allan
tic feet will undoubtedly be sent to en-
| force American demands i'm case the
sultan does not change his attitude.
Orders are likely to be sent to the bat
tleship squadron, which will reach Gil
bralter today, TO remain in the Medi-
terranean indefinitely.
The administration seems deter
mined to obtain the same rights for
Americans in Turkey which Europeans
enjoy.
The formidable squadron is in COM
mand of Rear Admiral Barker and
consists of the battleships Kearsarge,
Alabama, Iowa, Missouri, Maine and
! Illinois. It can be accepted without
question that the government does not
purpose acting hastily. where display
Of strength is deemed advisable and
necessary. But that this government

sentations there is no attempt to con-
ceal.

satisfaction to the people,"
