GUARD BATTLES
WITH FIREBtC
Waterman Finds a Masked
Man in Act of Setting Blaze
to the Portland Flour Mills
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORTLAND, Feb. ia fight be-
tween the night watchman and an un-
known masked man, who attempted to
burn down the Portland FIGURING Mills,
and in which seven shots were fired,
occurred last night. That the guardian
of the property was not murdered by
the incendiary was due to the fact that
he wore over his breast a large watch
mans clock, the back of which is made
or heavy iron. A shot from the revolver
of the thug struck the center of the
timepiece, smashed ii to splinters, max
ing heavy indentation in the metal.
The attempt TO burn the mills was
the latest of a series of incendiary
operations and came near ending in q
fatality, for when Watchman Ber-
bethea discovered the firebug he at once
called to him to halt. At that time the
incendiary was bending over a pile OF
hndling. The firebug made no reply.
but seeing he was discovered started
to run. Berbethea then opened fire.
Then the fusillaGe began, for the man
turned and returned the fire The shots
whizzed past Berbetheas head. The
last shot was the one that struck the
large clock, then the firebug turned and
made good his escape
Owing to the attempt to burn down
the mill property, which is one of the
most valuable upon the Pacific Coast.
officials of the company stated this
morning that a double array of armed
guards will be placed about the prem

v ARSHIP SAILS
TO GUANTANAMO
The Auxiliary Cruiser Prairie
Leaves Colon With a Battal-
ion of Marines on Board

COLON. Feb. 15.-The United
States auxiliary cruiser Prairie with
a battalion of marines on board. un-
der command Of Major Lucas, left
here tonight for Guantanamo. 1t is
said that from that port she will go
to Santo Domingo.
The withdrawal Of these marines
from the isthmus before the ratifica-
ton of the treaty between Panama
and the United States is regarded as
an indication Of the belief on the part
of the American authorities that
there is no probability of immediate
hostilities between Colombia and Pan
anna. Nevertheless the warships of the
United States are continuing their
watchfuI patrol of the entire Pana-
man coast.
SAN DOMINGO, Monday, Feb. s.
The United States cruisers Minneap-
oils and Columbia arrived here this
morning and a vessel of the Clyde line
is expected. The senior American
naval officer has no instructions to
protect American ships while unload
ing here.
The Minneapolis and the auxiliary
cruiser Yankee are to leave here this
afternoon. No action has yet been
taken by the American warships to-
ward obtaining satisfaction for the re-
cent killing of a machinist of the
Yankee and the firing on the Ameri-
can flag by the insurgents.

NEW PLAN
NOW BEING
LAID OUT
A Few Streets to Be
Effaced, Others
Widened.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 15.-At a meeting
of the Citizens Committee to-day it
was the overwhelming sense of the
members that the city should be re-
built on broad and generous lines and
all main streets widened The plans
as mapped out provide that the streets
east and west shall be opened from
Jones Falls to Liberty street and be
perfectly straight, while those running
north and south shall extend from
Pratt street to Franklin street. Pratt,
Baltimore, Fayette and Lexington
streets are to be widened German
street may be obliterated and there is
talk of filing the upper harbOr with de-
bris. The committee viii probably rec
ommend the widening of St Paul,
Lombard, Light and Pratt streets.
Should it be decided best to leave Ger
man street open it will be recommend
ed by the committee that it be opened
through TO Gay street and that Hop
kins place run through Baltimore and
Fayette streets to Park avenue, a
change also being made in Liberty
street
one of the results of the fire has been
a serious Gripping of the work of the
Johns Hopkins Hospital. the income of
which was largely derived from the
rent of buildings which it owned in the
burned district.
Sixty-eight warehouses, widely scat
tered, belonging to the hospital have
been destroyed, and the hospital has
lost the income from them for possibly
two years The hospital property de-
stroyed aggregates nearly 81, 300, 900 in
value.
The business situation was given
most cheerful aspect to-day by a re-
sumption of operations by the Clear
ing House Association, the first since
February 6, and was materially
strengthened by the fact that banks
showed UP in splendid condition, the
clearings being three times the normal
amount.

LUMBER SHIP
GOES ASHORE
Schooner Alcalde, Bound for
Manila, Blown From HarbOr
to Sea in Storm and Wrecked
Special Dispatch to The Call.


PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 15.-The
schooner Alcalde, in charge of Captain
L. B. Harris, laden with a cargo of
lumber, went ashore on the North Spit
outside the entrance of Grays Harbor,
Wash, and is total wreck Every one
was saved the life crew rescuing them.
Captain Harris had on board his 16-
year-old daughter, who was making
the trip with him. The Alcalde loaded
at Aberdeen, Wash, with a cargo of
lumber for Manila and was towed to
the anchorage in the lower harbor
Saturday. A violent storm sprang up
during Sunday and increased until the
schooner began to drag her anchors.
Finally she broke away, losing both
anchors and 105 fathoms of chain, and
was blown out to sea. The wind
changed to the southeast and after
drifting around for several hours in the
fog and darkness she went ashore on
the North Spit. She carried 400 900 feet
of lumber worth about $5000 The
crew was brought to Westport this
afternoon.
An examination Of the stranded
schooner made to-day by Captain Har-
ris, who was taken to his vessel by
the life saving crew, disclosed the fact
that her huh is broken and nothing
can be done to save her The Alcalde
was a wooden schooner of 321 gross
tonnage and was built in 1882 at Port
Blakeley. A. Anderson of San Fran
cisco is her managing owner. She was
valued at $4,000.
