FIREBUGS AT WORK
VALUABLE PROPERTY MENACEn
 BY THE FLAMES,
Biaze In Room on Third Floor of Dex- ter Avenue Indicates Incfndiary Ortein--Mattress is Soaked
 in Kerosene.

An attempt to destroy the building at 1-2 Dexter Avenue by fire. which.
 If 1t had proved successful, would have resulted in the loss of thousands of dollars worth of property and probably
 sacrifice of life. occurred at an early
 hour yesterday morning.
 shortly after o'clock, Roundsman,
 F. J. Sweeney. detected smoke pour
 ing from window in the third story Of the building. and turned in an alarm.
 When the department arrived 1t was necessary to effect a forcible entrance as the door entering into the room from which smoke was issuing, was locked.
 Axes were brought into requisition, and the blaze, which had originated In mattress saturated in oil, was quickly extinguished. The damage was slight. A small hole was burn ed in the floor and the furniture in the apartment was partially destroyed
 Investigation clearly showed the fire was of incendlarS origin. A mattress, which had been dragged from a bed in the apartment to the floor. was soaked with kerosene which had also been freely sprlnkled about the room. Sev- eral whiskey bottles of a particular manufacture were scattered about on the floor and it was one of these which had contained the tell tale ker- osene.
 The ground floor of the building is occupied by the Vernadoe, Briel Mon crieffe Shoe Company and the two up- per floors are used for sleeping apart ments. Emmett Moncrienee, a member of the shoe firm. occupied the room In which the fire started. He has been out of the city for several days. pr. G A. Knaoe occupies room on tho second floor of the building.
 Adjoining MT. Moncrieffe's quarters are two vacant rooms which are con nected by doors. These doors were found to be unlocked and 1t was evi- 1 dently through these apartments that the incendiary or incendiarfes. obtain ed entrance to the room.
 The police believe negroes found i their way into tha apartment and stole | articles belonging to MT. Moncrieffe. | and. desiring to cover up all traces of their theft, endeavored to fire the | If the attempt had hnen made a few hours earlier a serious blaze might have resulted as the blaze would probably not have been diseov- cred In time to check the progress of the flames. Whether or not anything of value Is missing from Mir Mon crieffe's apartment will not be known until his return. He Is not expected back for several weeks.
 The police department was placed in possession of all evidence bearing unon he attempt but when approached in re- gard to the matter. declined to discuss The affair Patro1men arc said to he looking for clues to tho identity of the who start d the fire.

ALIVE TO CONDITIONS.
British Government WatchIng Develop
 ineBfs In Persia.


 London, Aug. 2S.--The British Gov ernment is fully alive to the critical condition of affairs in Persia and to the alleged efforts of Germany to obtain q footing there, and it is stated steps doubtless will be taken by the powers to protect their interests when a crisis arrives
 Thus far the Foreign Office says 1oth ing has occurred to justify outside in- reference. So far as Germany's action Is concerned. she has done nothing to which Great Britain or any of the pow V CTS can take exception, her efforts be- ing confined to the expansion of her trade
 The officials here do not believe that Germany is trying to secure an island in the Persian Gulf as a naval base, as 1t would be at all times at the mercy of any hostile fleet.
 As for commercial port, the officials add, there cannot be any objection to her obtaining one. Besides, Great Britain feels more secure regarding Persia since the recent troubles when the population showed confidence in the British by flocking to the legation of Great Britain, where they remained un. til the Shah granted their demands for reforms.
 There Is better understanding be. tween Great Britain and Russia which will be of mutual benefit should Persia be disrupted. Although no formal agreement has been signed. recent events, 1t is thought here. have proved that Russia and Great Britain are ready to stand together where their interests are attacked
 The reprimand by the Russian Min ister of M Hartwig, Russian Minister at Teheran. (who is said to have been responsible for the charge that the British legation there gave out bogus telegram expressing the sympathy of King Edward with the Persian Liber als), which has not yet been officially to the Foreign Office. Is re- garded as proof of Russia's sincerity,
 When the dispatch of the Associated Press from St. Petersburg on the sub feet was shown to the Foreign Offics officials here, it was read with the greatest interest, being the first inti- nation of Russia's action.

Havana, Aug. 2S.--Investigation shows that the statement made by Sen ator Dolz, a leader of the moderate party, at the conclusion of a confer ence with President Palma at midnight to the effect that practically all the insurgent leaders of consequence, ex- cept Pino Guerra. mad signif1ed their willingness to disband their men if all were positively guaranteed immunity for their insurrectionary acts, was an exaggeration, but the impression Is very general today that the insurgents, with the exception of Pino Guerra, will shortly lay down their arms. Mean while. it Is asserted, all recruiting will cease.

respondent in each county and a State, correspondent These reports are filed in safe by the Secretary of Agrieult-f ure together with the reports which come from the field agents.
 All these reports go in separately. 1 They are then compiled, and a general average is taken. This average is re- duced to per centage based upon the. normal crop.
 This work Is done by five men. These men work under lock and key. Of the i've men, three of them are Department attaches and two are field agents of the Department. The results of their delib- erations are given out simultaneously to the country on crop reports
 To show the care with which the in- tegrity of the reports Is guarded, 1t is only necessary to mention the rule which forbids field agents to communi- cate with one another. and which for- { bids them from answering any ques- tions as to crop conditions
