at little after Ii O'Clock Saturday night,
in the lumber mill of ]. g. Deering q
Son, located at Springs island. totally de-
stroying it and causing a loss of over
$4,000. The loss is covered by insurance.
The fire was discovered by John Norton,
a police officer who noticed the flames
coming from the roof of the mill An
alarm was at once sent in by him that
called the Biddeford department under
Chief Charles Ii. Bonser. Chief Bonser
on seeing the extent of the fire sent in a
general alarm and help was also called

sponded promptly with Engine >, Hose
and 50 men under Chief Engineer James

got great Roadway and was apparently
eating up the buildings as fast as pos
sible.
The main building, which was $50 feet
long and a two-story affair, was soon
leveled to the ground and the flames
spread to the lumber sheds causing a
total loss there The other sheds, stables
and other outbuldings were saved. The
absence of wind at the time made il
possible for the fremen to keep the
flames from spreading to other property

Francisco Madero, with his ministers
and strong detachment of loyal
troops Is fortified in the National
Palace, tonight, while Gen. Felix
Diaz. with a large majority of the
regulars behind him, has practical
control in the capital.
In several bloody encounters, today.
the President and his supporters sue
ceeded in defending themselves
against the rebels, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that the troops in large
numbers are in state of revolt which
carried all before them, today, there
was an appearance of genuine opti-
mism at the palace among Madero and
his ministers.
To ali parts of the republic Madero
telegraphed reassuring news which he
and his cabinet seemed to believe. The
state governors and military com
manders were assured of the loyalty
of the army and that tranquility had
been restored.
To a representative of the Associat-
ed Press. President Madero said the
facility with which the new revolt
had been suppressed was only anoth-
er indication OF the strength of the
government and the loyalty of the
army Pointing from a window in the

Madero's family has taken refuge in

General Diaz, who is the nephew OF

but Banquet has only 1000 men under
his emma nod, and the rebels are con-
fdent of defeating him, should he re-
fuse to join in the movement of revolt.
The day was marked by four sep
arate agements, the most sanguin-
airy of which took place in front of
the national palace, but most import
ant was that which terminated in the
formal surrender of the troops in the
artillery barracks.
Il is believed that not less than 200
persons were killed in the fighting.
Among the number was General
Bernardo Reyes, strong adherent of
Porfirio Diaz. and an ex-secrestary of
war The mutinous troops were led
by the students of the military school

of which was acceptable to the en-
ployers
