A large black OK brought here from India. was the only anima | lost.
 Every available piece of fire ap, paratus was brought to the scene and shortly after o'clock. after the paint shop a three story brick building. had collapsed, 1t was announced that the fire was under control.
 The cause of the fire Is unknown A chef preparing breakfast, discover. ed flames shooting from the building and sounded the alarm. Officials pre- vented several workmen from rushing into the building in an attempt to save the OK, known as the 'sacred bull" and a number of the valuable wagon cages of the show.
 shortly after the arrival of the fire men. the walls on one side of the building collapsed, several firemen barely escaping, barrels of pitch. tur- pentine and paint quickly ignited by the flames, sent out dense clouds of smoke and adding to the panic Of the animals in the mcnagerie and impeded the work of the firemen.
 In the elephant house only about 50 feet from the burning building trainers were forced to throw blank. cts over the heads of the animals to quiet them. All the horses were set loose.
 Circus officials made preparations immediately for other quarters here for that part of the equipment des- troyed.
 On one side of the burning build went among them quieting their trumpeting, as smoke spread through their winter homes An of the herd were leashed by ankle chains. It was necessary to cover the heads of some of the pachyderms with blankets be- fore a semblance of quiet was brought about in the elephant house.
 A herd of 125 horses, blooded ring stock, was turned out of the barns shortly after the fire assumed serious proportions.
 East of the burning building are the winter quarters of the tigers, lions. laopards hippopotami, rhinoceros and other wild beasts. This building was bedlam when the fire reached its height The intense heat broke win dow glass in the building which soon filled with smoke. Leopards, lions and tigers flung themselves against the sides of their cages in frantic ef- forts to flee the fire menace. Animal trainers who are wintering here were summoned at once and remaind with their charges until after the fire was brought under control.

 port At Manueyers

Washington, Feb. 2.--The cruiser Richmond at Galveston has been or dered back to Vera Cruz to relieve the cruiser Omaha and six destroyers temporarily detailed there on instruc- tions from Washington. The Rich- mond is expected to arrive at Vera Cruz tomorrow night.
