TEXAS OIL PLANT BURNS.
Vast Tanks Explode Causing Loss Of
Over $60o,O00-Twelve Per-
sons Are Dead.

Houston, Tex, July 2G. - The fire in
the Humble oil fields, which started
Sunday night is still burning fiercely,
but it remains confined to the tanks of
the Texas company. While no names
are ascertainable, it is believed that
12 persons lost their lives. So far as
can be learned, these were all negroes
who were employed in trying to pre-
vent the spread Of the flames. Forty
three mules are known to have per-
ished. The managers of the Texas COM
pany state that the tanks contained
approximately 2,500.0OO barrels of oil,
which was valued at about 25 cents
per barrel. and that none of the oil
will be saved. In addition they say
the big pumping plant at the tanks
was entirely destroyed. making total
loss of nearly million. The efforts
of the fire fighters have been confined
to throwing up earthen embankments
between the burning tanks, of which
there are II. and those in which 4,OOO,-
600 barrels of oil belonging to other
companies are stored

JAPAN WILL Be MODERATE.
Terms of Peace Will Not Be EXCESSIVE
Says Komura's Official
Spokesman.

New York, July 26.-That Japan will
demand an indemnity of Russia in the
negotiations for peace, and that the
war will be declared at an end at the
conclusion of the negotiations at Ports
mouth, N. H., next month, is the belief
OF Baron Komura, head of the Japan
ese peace delegation who arrived here
Tuesday, as voiced by Aimar Sato, who
is the official spokesman for the baron
on this mission. Mr.. Sato in an inter-
view said:
Il am confident that peace will be
successfully negotiated by the appoint
ed delegations. The japanese will be
guided by moderation, and no excessive
demands will be made, but the senti-
ment in Japan and Russia is for peace,
and in the interests of humanity and
propriety there must be peace. The
cost to Japan, however, has been very
great. On both sides, the loss in men
has been $4,000, Russia's alone being
100000 of these. The war is costing
japan $1O0O,000 day, and there is
feeling that there ought to be an in
demnity."
