Others re- mained in town to see the next move. Big John E. Creed, ex-Marshal, who has been’ guarding the poolrooms of the San Mateo contingent, elbowed his way through the crowd of ueputies at the door and went inside at 1:10 o’clock. When he attempted to return the door was closed and locked. Creede drew back his right Trilby and lifted the door off its hinges. Creed was arrested on a charge of inter- fering with officers in the uischarge of their duty and released on his own recog- nizance. At 2 o’clock the cases of the persons ar- rested on the two precedine days were called in Recorder Simpton’s court. Glynn was held to appear next Wednes- day at 9:30 a. m., the intention being to make his a test case. The other cases will receive no attention until Glynn's is disposed of. The jury will be impaneled by Sheriff Harrison ‘on request of Re- corder Simpton. It now remains to be seen whether the ‘Western Union will place its wires back in Harrison's and Harvey’s poolrooms, even if the board finally succeeds in oust- ing the San Mateo contingent, which Sly- va seems confident of doing. Attorneys ‘Wilkins, Cochrane and Long are equally as confident that thev will laugh last. To-day’s” developments prove that both sides are determined to. win at any cost, and the trouble may yet reach the Supe- rior Court. The Western Union people declare they will not submit to such annoyance and interference with their wires as_was caused in Sausalito by the action of the Trustees. They have decided not to Te- sume their service while the rooms keep up such a fight agalnst each other. As to the prosecution of the person or persons who tampered with the wires they were not prepared to say what action would be taken. They now have the matter un- der consideration. MEN INJURED ON BATTLE-SHIP TEXAS Casualties Caused by a Sheil From Socapa Before That Battery Was Silenced. OFF SANTIAGO, Cuba, (By the Associated Pres to Kingston, June 24)—In addition to the man killed yesterday on the Texas there were eight injured by one shell from the western battery.

THREATENING BLAZE AT MIS- SION AND BEALE STREETS. The Loss Will Be About $10,000, Di- vided Among Several Establish- ments—Cause Unknown. Fire broke out at about 12:15 last night in the rear of the two-story frame build- ing on Beale street, near Mission, and for a time threatened to destroy an entire block of wooden building: The fire was first discovered by Officer Duane of Morse’s Patrol Agency and Special Officer Sample, who turned in the | alarm. It was right in the center of a nest of half-dilapidated buildings, mostly filled with inflammable material, and when the firemen arrived it was found necessary to turn in a second alarm. From the Kroagh Company's building the flames spread to Kerr's wagon man- ufactory and Peters’ blacksmith shep im- mediately adjoining and soon communi- cated with the rear of Heidt's cornice works, fronting on Mission street, all of which were badly wrecked and the con- tents destroyed. ‘When the firemen arrived the buildings were one mass of flames, but on the peak of the cornice company’s building flut- tered an American flag, waving proudly in the breeze and standing out in bold relief above the sea of fire. Finally a lit- tle tongue of flame caught the halyards and Old Glory gave one last flutter as it ve, while a cheer went embled crowd. Fire Marshal Towe was unable to def- initely determine the cau but thinks it originated from overheated castings in the rear of Kroagh's establishment. He will make a thorough investigation. The loss on the buildings and contents will amount to about $16,000, and the cor- nice company wi heaviest loser. A number of sheet metal statues on the front of the cornice works were pulied down to prevent danger of their falling and injuring passers-by. When Officer Duane returned from sending in the alarm some one informed him that an_employe of the cornice works named Juange was asleep upstairs He at once broke open in the building. the door, and although almost overcome by the stifing volumes of smoke whick had by this time filled the building rushed upstairs and rescued the sleep- ing occupant. dispatch boat | SAGASTA WILL RETIRE TO PAVE THE WAY FOR PEACE MAY CARRY HOSTILITIES INTO SPAIN Her Coast Ports Will Be Attacked if Left Un- protected.

The dispatch came from an agent of the department in Algiers, and was as follows: “Captain Moon of the Engiish steamer Hampton informs me that he passed on the 22d at 3 p. m., off Pan Tellaria, the Span- ish squadron, bound east, and includ- | ing ffteen chips, tome being transports laden with troops, and three of them torpedo-boats.” The first report to that effect, which | evening a praise service was held. operation 'was repeated.

Quick as a flash he was on his feet with a re- volver in his hand. Creed had stood with his hand in his hip pocket, but, perceiving that Sylva had been too quick for him, he jumped and grappled with the frenzied Trustee. By this time a large crov-d was surg- ing around the spot.- Dr. Crumpton ar- rived just as Creed grappled with Sylva and springing forward wrenched the weapon from Sylva’s hand and fired its five shots into the bay. The com- batants were separated and proceeded to abuse each other for awhile, but were finally forced to leave the spot, Deputy Sheriff Thomas Frost placed both under arrest for disturbing the peace and Sylva preferred a charge of battery against Creed, who says that to-morrow he will plnce Bylva under arrest for assault with {ntent to com- mit murder, The town I8 at fever heat and bload- shed is momentarily expected, As a re~ sult of the Westorn Union Telegraph Company’s nretion in taking the wires out of Harrison's and Harvey’'s pool- rooms Bylya hag threatened te hayse Manager Bteel and Superintendent Jaynes arregted for the e.lYeged aiding and abetting of A erime in running wires into Behwarts's establishment, Hearing of this Buperintendent Jaynes, it is- msserted on _autherity, has iy issued his ediet 0o _more wires ghall be run into Ay of the peolrooms under any considsration wgn-uoevu-.
