At 9 o'clock tho firing was again

In good shapo, but much exhausted by

Approximately $200,000 worth of am
munition was expended In tlio bom
bardment on Monday of last week, but
ai pai ontly II has not checked Spanish
activity on tho earthworks. Tho war
ships lost a quantity of crockery and
other easily breakable things from the
concussion of the big guns.
While tho bombardment was In prog
ress tho lookout man on tho Urooklyn
saw a boat approaching from a point
about four miles west of Kl Morro. Tho
Vixen wont to meet It, and brought to
tho flagship three Insurgents, who
asked for n vessel to shell a Spanish
forco with which the Insurgents woro
then engaged near shore. Tho Mar
blehcad wus sent on this mission and
soon scattered tlio Spaniards, with the
result that tho Insurgents captured tho
Spanish camp, tents and a quantity of
ammunition. Ono of tho Marbleliead's
shells killed a Spanish captain and a

and Injured soveral soldiers. Tho exact
losses of tho Spaniards could not be
determined, but thoy beat n hasty

Is exercised in tho landing of arms and

Tho Insurgents say that thoy watch
ed last week's bombardmont from tho

garrison at Santiago is on half ru-

Fears Were Aroused.
VALUABLE PLACES THREATENED !
The Firemen Worked Diligently For About
an Hour Before the Nelghborlne
Presidents Felt That Their Places
Wore Beyond Harm -The
Building Was Cutted.
Tho town was stirred up at about 5:15
o'clock this morning by a simultaneous ring
ing or tho tiro alarm bell and blowing of
colliery whistles, and many people jumped
to ino conclusion that one or tho breakers
was on fire. As little as the breakers have
been working, they are still looked upon as
too valuablo a source of revenue to he de
stroyed, hence some apprehension wai felt.
However, the flro was not at any of the col
lieries, but right iu tho heart of the town
and in proximity to a number of valuable
properties. It was in a stablo and fortunately
tlio flro department eonflned the flames to its
source.
Watchman Creary and Constable Phillins
discovered tho fire and tho former sent in an
alarm from tho box at the comer of Main
and Centre streets. Hurrying buck Creary
uroKo open one ol tlio doors of tho stablo and
tried to roscuo its only living occupant, a
cow, but donso smoko drovo him back and
horcowsbip went the way of all cows that
got in tlio unfortunate position of being con
fined in a burning stable. Among tho first to
respond to the alarm was Sauford Shoo
maker, sou of the Justice, who did heroic
work with u garden huso until the indignant
owner took it from him and carried it back
to its place half it square away.
1 ho chemical engine was ou tho scene
promptly, hut a mistake was mado in turuinir
on the charge and the tanks wero emptied
before effective work could be done. The
hoso company worked industriously and
checked tho flames when thoy were licking
tlio sides and roof of the building and
inreatencd to lgmto the Egan buildings on
tho north and tho Goblin proporty on tlio
south. In about threo-quarters of an hour
tho tlio was pronounced out and the neigh
boring property owners broatiied easier. Tho
ulazowasofa character that justified their
fears.
Tho building in which tlio firo occurred is
a two-story frame structure owned by Hon.
.M.c. watson and located at the Market
alley end of tho lot on which tho Watson
hotel is situated. Tho lowor storv of tho
place was used as a cow stablo and storage
houso. The upper floor was used as a club
room, tho walls of which wore decorated
with pictures of an inflammable charactor.
Iho structure is badly euttod. The total
loss will not quite roach $250. Tho damage
10 me imiiding amounts to about f 150. Isaac
Loviue, tlio owner of tho cow. valued her at
?3I. A soda water fountain and a sowing
machine also sutlered from thu flro. Thoro is
a difference of opinion as to tho origin of tho
firo, but tho theory that roceivos the greatest
credonco is that the stable was set un the by
papor igniting in an adjoining ash biu.
