NINETEEN SOLDIERS HURT.
Toulon Fire Is Extinguished After
Loss Reaches $2,OOO,ooo.

Toulon, France, Aug. 9.-The arse
nal fire broke out afresh, but it was
finally Brought under control late last
night. During the entire day squads
of sailors and soldiers manned the
pumps. There were 10 casualties
among the troops, who have now been
dismissed and sent back to their bar
racks.
OF the three torpedo gunboats
which were lying at the burned slips
two escaped to sea without injury,
but the other, which was unable to
move, was seriously damaged. 1t is
now estimated that the loss will ex-
coed S2,000,000
The fire completely destroyed the
famous slips built by Vauban, when
he fortified the port in 1880, which
were the pride of the arsenal A
number of workshops and stores were
also burned. The fire broke out at
the top Of one of the slips and is be-
lieved to have been due to a short
circuit.

FIRE EMPTIES THEATER.
100000 Blaze at Buffalo Next Door
to Crowded Playhouse.

Buffalo, Aug 9.-Fire in a five-story
building on Main street caused a loss
Of 100000, and for time threatened
the Academy OF Music, next door,
where play was being produced
Soon after the fire started in the
Main street block, but before the hun
dreds of persons gathered in the thea
ter next door were aware of the prox-
unity of the flames, Assistant Fire
Chief Murphy went to the Academy
stage, informed the audience that a
building nearby was ablaze, but as
sured them that there was no danger
He then asked the people to leave
the theater. Exits were thrown open
and the crowd filed out. The slight
disorder occasioned by the mishap
did not result in any serious accident.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.

meeting and members of the commit

the statement was made that the SEES

Senator German was not at the
meeting, remaining in his room at the
Fifth Avenue hotel, but there were
frequent communications between the
executive committee and the Mary

Chairman Sheehan had quite a
lengthy conference with Senator Cor

after the meeting that he was ex-

in his absence Mr. Nicoll would be

some doubt as to Mr.. Taggart's con-
nection with the executive commit
tee, but the meeting seemed to rec
ognize the chairman. the vice chair

Secretary Hay Views on What
Constitutes Contraband
Made Pubic.
CARS STATESMEN MISTAKEN
Nntention That Coal Is ContTaband
- of War FIatIy Contradicted by
Washington Government-CompIi-
cations Likely to Follow.

Washington, Aug. 9.-"The recogni-
ton in principle of the treatment of
coal and other fuel and raw cotton
as absolutely contraband of war
might ultimately lead to a total inhi
bition of the sale by neutrals to the
people of belligerent states of all arti
cles which could be finally converted
to military uses. Such an extension
OF the principle by treating coal and
other fuel and raw cotton as absO'
l-sely contraband of war, simply be-
cause they are shipped by a neutral
to a non-blockaded port of a belliger
ent, would not appear to be in accord
with the reasonable and lawful rights
of a neutral commerce"
This is summary of a declaration
by Secretaay Hay on the right of neu-
trail nationsrS during war. 1t was en-
bodied in circular to American am
bassadors to- Europe which was is
sued from the state department June
10 last, but for some reason was with
held from the public although GER
tain shippers, who inquired at the de-
partment after their right, were sup
piled with copies.
The circular is based on a declara-
tion by the Russian government that
coal, naphtha, alcohol and other fuel
have been declared contraband.
Secretary Hay directs attention to
the West African conference in 1884,
when Russia took occasion to dis
sent vigorously from the inclusion of
coal among articles contraband of
war, and declared that she would
categorically refuse her consent to
any articles in any treaty, convention
or instrument whatever which would
imply its recognition as SUCH
Due notice Is made of the fact that
raw cotton could be made up into
clothing for the military uses of a
belligerent, but the secretary adds
that military use for the supply of
an army or garrison might possibly
be made of foodstuffs of every de-
scription which might be shipped
from neutral ports to the non-block-
AIDED ports of a belligerent, "The
principle under consideration might,
therefore" he says, "be extended so
as to apply to every article of human
use, which might be declared contra
. band of war simply because it might
ultimately become in any degree use
full to a belligerent for military pur-
poses"
The secretary speaks of coal and
other fuel and cotton as being en-
ployed for great many innocent
purposes, and that many nations are
dependent upon them for the conduct
Of inoffensive industries, adding:
"And no sufficient presumption of
an intended warlike use seems to be
afforded by the mere fact of their des-
tlnation to a belligerent port"
London, Aug. 9.-The Times and
other London newspapers this morn
ing contain editorials strongly APP
proving the circular issued by Mr..
Hay, the American secretary of state,
as to what constitutes contraband of
war.
The Times says: "Mr. Hay lays
down sound and reasonable rule on
the subject. We trust our govern
ment will not delay in letting it be
known that we fully share the views
OF the United States and that we shall
steadfastly uphold them"
