line steamer New York (from New

ing followed by the Dominican gun
boat Presidente. Lighters were sent
alongside the New York to bring
ashore some ammunition which
formed part Of her cargo. When the
lighters had nearly reached the steam
err the gunboat fired on them and the
revolutionists on shore replied with
cannon and Mausers. The New York,
being in danger, thereupon left Monte
Cristi for Porto Plata.
The firing continued for half an
hour, after which the gunboat sailed
for Porto Plata. She was hit twice by

GREAT MASS OF RUINS.
Baltimore Fire Laid Waste an Area
Of 140 Acres.

OF 40 Acres.
Baltimore, Md, Feb. 9.-Baltimore
Is today staggering under fire loss
which no one has the temerity to put
In figures. The important commercial
district is blackened ruins, laid bare
by conflagration which ragged with
out a momentary check for thirty
hours, in spite of almost superhuman
efforts put forth by the best fighting
forces which more than half a dozen
cities were able to muster.
The city is overcast with gloom.
Apparently there is but one cause for
gladness, and that is that there are no
homeless. The residence section of
the city escaped.
About seventy-five squares, or one
hundred and forty acres, are in ashes,
extending from Lexington street on
the north to Pratt street on the south,
from Liberty street on the west to
Jones falls on the east.
The city has been placed under
martial law and thus all danger Of
footing in the doomed district Is elm
mated. Word has been received that
General Corbin of New York would
be here to take command Of the fed
eral troops.
The clearing away of the ruins will
be an affair of months. Every stand
ing wall must come down and the
whole vast accumulation of debris
carted away. Along the northern edge
Of the burned district the number of
standing walls is especially noticeable
Inspector of Buildings Preston, after
making careful study of the burned
district, placed the building loss alone
at $3.50, 1000, 900.

DISARMlNG THE GODS.
How Chinese, Japanese and Hindoo
boys Prepare For School Life.

How Chinese, Japanese md Hfndoo
boys Prepare For School Life.
Among the eastern nations the begin
ming Of school life is critical time for
the child. The priest or astrologer
must be consulted to choose lucky
day. Every precaution must be taken
to avert the jealousy Of the gods, whose
malice is especially directed against a
fine boy.
The Chinese father who adores bis
son will take the utmost pains to con-
vince the powers Of the air that the
boy is of no account. The child may
be given a despicable name, like flea
or chutze, a pig, or, more insulting
still, he may be given a girls name.
The boy may be started off to school
wearing a girls dress and one earring,
and If the deception is complete this
will be the most effectual Of all, for
even the gods do not care for girls in
China.
The Japanese schoolboy wears hang
ing from his belt little red bag con-
tanning a brass tag with his name and
his parents name and address upon 1t.
He must have his paper umbrella and
his fan, and in gray bag upon his arm
is jar of rice for his luncheon. This
quaint little fellow has probably made
his offering at his own private shrine
to Tenjinsen, the god of penmanship.
When the Hindoo boy has found an
auspicious day to begin school he Is
taken to the god Of learning, Sarasva-
ii. Here the little supplicant presents
his offerings of rice and betel nuts and
repeats the letters of the alphabet after
the priest. Thus he is entered into the
ways of knowledge in the very presence
of the god.-Everybody's Magazine.
