aithou:1k damage to the extent Of $45,-
900 Wa done to the stock by water.
For time the best part Of the retail
district of the city was threatened and
the firemen seemed powerless to stay
the onrush Of the flames, which were
driven by a high wind from the north.
AS soon as the extent of the fire was
seen an appeal for assistance was
made to the St. Paul department and
two steamers and crews were dis
patched by a special train.
The cold weather and the high wind
deferred the fremen to a great sex-
tent in their efforts to subdue the
flames, but fortunately the wind died
down about 2 o'clock and further dan
ger of the conhagration spreading

authorities here appear to be convinced
from the tenor of the reports which arc
continually brought that Columbia is
determined to send an army to attack

the fact that the Columbian troops of

These troops are well armed and SIM.
piled with ammunition, and have four
guns, three steam launches and a large
supply of cattle. The district is an
unproductive one, and the provisions
and other supplies which the troons
possess have been brought to them from
other points.
The government learned these facts
from reliable informant at Titumati.
who contrives to send news of events
from that district to Colon by means
OF signals and trustworthy messengers.
News also has been received that the
Indian chief, IntanaQuina, returned
yesterday to Cartagena to interview the
Columbian officers regarding request
made by them for 800 Indain cayueos
(small boats) to be used by the army
also been relieved at Titumati in cross
ing rivers.
1t is expectedFthat all the war ships
will leavve Colon Immediately for the
purpose of making a demonstration
along the San Bias coast. The vessels
will land an attacking force the mo-
ment the information reaches them
that Columbian troops have crossed
into Panama territory.
There are no signs of of Columbian
arm in the vicinity,,of Panama territory

emily warlike.

FIFTY PERSONS DROWNED
STEAMER CLALLAM SINKS DUR
ING FIERCE GALE ON SOUND.
Every Woman and Child Aboard Per-
ished-Life Boats and Life Preserv-
ers Proved Useiess-Were 20 Min
utes from victoria-Tuqs Do Good
Work-Prominent People Lost.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 10.-In a vain
struggle with fierce waves, brought on
by gale, ga of the passengers of the
new steamer Clallam, almost in sight
OF Victoria, for which port the steam
er was heading, sank and were drawn
ed in the straits of San Juan de Fuca.
Among the drowned is Miss Louise
Harris, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. W.
]. Harris of Spokane
Every woman and child aboard the
Clallam persisted, they having taken to
the small boats when it was seen the
crippled steamer was doomed. AL
though the passengers were equipped
with life preservers and the small
boats ordinarily seaworthy, so choppy
was the sea that the boats sWamped
before the eyes of the passengers who
remained aboard the steamer After
boating for few moments the ~nfor-
tunate people sank and were seen no
more.
OF those thrown into the water from
the small boats, not one, so far as
known, survived. OF the passengers
who remained on the sinking Clallam,
a number persisted after tugs from
Port Townsend came alongside. 1t is
charged by two passengers that the
tug Holyoke, first to arrive and take
in tow the sinking passenger steam
err, failed to improve her opportunity
to first rescue the passengers, and they
were later compelled to jump over
board and trust to life preservers and
life RATS until they could be picked
up by small boats from the tug Sea
Lion, which later came up and set
about the work of rescue at once,
bravely risking life to render succor.
Had Victoria, where people on shore
plainly saw that the Clallam was dis
abled, been able to send a tug or
lam, it is probable there would have
been few, if any, lives lost. But Vic
torians failed to grasp the seriousness
Of the situation and although the Clal-
lam was within 20 minutes of reaching
port she t1oundered about in the cross
seas, broadside to the gale, until tugs
steamed from Port Townsend, dis
lance of 80 miles. During the precious
moments which elapsed from the time
the Clallam's distress was noted at
Victoria and the arrival of the tugs,
three boatloads of people were launch
ed and lost.
