At the time & wind storm was at its height and much concern and ap- preliension was felt. The fire originated at No. 1012 Fourth street, in the store of Mrs, J. B. Doane. The lady’s residence adjoins the store. When the fice department arrived both buildings were in a blaze, the high wind making it alnost impossible to get control. While the firemen were running their hose to the fire, the utmost excitement prevailed, as the fire kept spreadiag and everything in- dicated that a larce mumber of néighboring buildings would be burned. The building ed by H. Marlin and the residence of rdwell caught fire. Four or five resi- dences on the opposite side of the street were badly dawaged. —In another instant it was discovered that the dwelling occupied by Mrs. Evans, two blocks north, was also on fire, sparks having been carried there by the wind.

His memory is adwirable, and as to desire and aptitude for work, he indetatizable. His general temperament is cheerful, cracious and bene olent. It goes without saying, sir. that a period in life so advanced—almost nunogen- arian—gives rise to certain worbid tenden- cies, but these are not of any essential ini- portance for the moment, and they in no wise justify any actual fear. On the whole the condition of the emperor is such tnat e cepting unforseen accidents, we may hope that his majesty, God willing, may still enjoy many years of life and activity. With much consideration I have the honor to be yours obediently. (Signed,) Di. VAN LAUER. Cuba's Commercial Relations.
