Turner went to Havana several months ago, purchased a site for the blaming mill and frontage on the har- b0r. The machinery for the mill was shipped, received and stored prepara- tory to erect the necessary buildings.
 Later the timber and lumber was shipped and mechanics and artisans were put to work and the framing cut for the buildings Mir. Turner secured the necessary permits to erect and op- crate the plant. Three weeks ago he received q cablegram in which he was notified the permits had been annulled and the workmen arrested. Mir. Tur- ner boarded a steamer and went Io Havana.
 There he was confronted by all kinds of opposition from local Spanish lum- Der dealers who lad secured anudl- ment of tho permits previously grant ed. Finally, to solve the problem. he placed his complaints of methods re- sorted to against his company, in the hands of the representative or the United States. MT. Turner informed The Advertiser representative that ii was his purpose to demand his rights and to require the authorities in IIa- and operate the plant.

Mobile, Ala, Oct. 23-At midnight tonight fre broke out in the big saw mill plant of the Mobile Lumber Com pany, d concern capitalized at one mil- lion dollars. and at d. m, Is stilI burning flercely.
 Aid was asked from the city and two hose companies were sent out, but they were powerless to do much toward stopping the headway which the flames had gained.
 The entire saw mill plant was des- troyed, together with six hundred thousand feet of valuable hardwoods in the yards.
 There was q brisk wind blowing at tac time of the fire which carried the sparks for a distance of one or two miles. setting fire to the dried grass and the saw dust on the Telegraph Road in many places mile or two from the scene of the fire and also imperelling .ha adjoining milling property.
 The fire spread to the plant of Hub hard Brothers where the main office building, six residences and d school house were destroyed
 The loss will probably run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 The northbound passenger train on the Louisville and Nashville Road was delayed for nearly two hours on ac-
  many places from the brands from the fire.
 A schooner at tho dock of the Mobile Lumber Company is supposed to be on fire. but the fire Is so hot even at this hour 1t is impossible to get within d quarter of a mile of the scene.
