Antlers Hotel, One of the Largest Hostelries in the West, Included in the Burned Struc COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Oct. 1.—This city had a visitation of fire this afternoon which threatened for four hours to destroy the entire business district. The wind was blowing at the rate of forty-five miles an hour from the southwest when the fire started at | the Denver and Rio Grande freight de- | pot at the foot of Cucharas street at 2:10 p. m., and the flames spread with great rapidity. A strip four blocks long from north to south and two blocks wide from east to west has been burned over, but at 8 p. m. the conflagration w ed to be under control. The flames are still leaping high into the air all over the burning district, but the wind has died down and there is no doubt that | the fire engines which have come from Denver and Pueblo in rcsponse to ap- | peals for aid will be able to confine the flames within the present limits. The Antlers Hotel, one of the largest | in the West, three lumber yards and two blocks of business houses have been destroyed. In round numbers the loss is estimated at $1,000,000; insured for one-half of that amount. The losses estimated are as follows: Antlers Hotel, $35 Newton Lumber y & 000. Company, $60,000. C Lumbér Company, $30,000. El Paso Lumber Company, $35.000. Irvine & Sons, blacksmiths, $2000. Fowler s believ- | tures. | became positively untenable. Down below the firemen were a directing streams upon the buildings, but the | water pressure had become so reduced | that the streams were of little effect. | The Antlers Annex was quickly in | lames and went up rapidly. Two or | three explosions were heard while the Antlers was burning and they are sup- | posed to have come from the boilers. All of the Antlers people, from the e gineers to the bell boys, stayed at t posts until they could stay no longer. | At 6 o'clock all that W left of the | once beautiful Antlers was a mass of blazing debris. Thousands gazed upon it with sorrow and regret, as it was universally conceded to be the chief ornament of the town. The Antlers was a beautiful six-story | building, owned by the Colorado Springs Hotel Company, in which Gen- eral Palmer was heavily interested. The lessee proper was E. Burnett. Th= building was insured for $200,000 and the furniture lued at $57,500, was in- sured for $31,500. The building and contents are almost a total loss. The hotel will be rebuilt. There were several guests in the hotel, including a number of invalids, | but all were got out in safety and taken | to_comfortable quarters. | The Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf | rallroads passenger depot on Huerfano | street was burned, but the other rail- road passenger stations were un- | harmed.

Oct. 1.—The Washing- ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: Satisfactory progress in the peace negotiations with the Spanish commissioners is being made by the American commissioners, according to a dispatch received to-day from Judge Day. From the tone of Day's mes- sage the authorities are satisfied that there is no truth in the press reports emanating from Paris that the work of the commissjon is likely to be pro- longed and that there will be great dif- ficulty in bringing about an agreement. It is the belief of officials that the French press in making these gloomy utterances is inspired, and that it is hoped by these means the American representatives will ameliorate their. demands, which are believed to be se- vere. : Day said in his dispatch that the commissioners ‘are being treated with the utmost courtesy. by the French au- thoritles ahd they have been accorded every facility to secure the prompt ac- complishment of their work. It was stated at the State Department to-day that the commissioners will probably be the only ones to, consider the Span- ish request for permission to reinforce the Spanish garrison in the Vizcayas Islands. No protest:-has been made to this Government concerning- the-mat- ter, but it is learned that it is true that through the French Embassy the Span- ish Government -some time ago made certain representations to the United States regarding the failure-of the in- surgents to observe the suspension of hostilities, and this Government prom- ised and has exerted its good offices to prevent a continuance of the strife.

PARIS, Oct. 1.—The American and Spanish peace commissions assembled for their first business session at 2 o'clock this afternoon in the rooms as- signed them for their deliberations in the French Foreign Office on the Quai @’Orsay. A special entrance is set apart for the use of the commissioners in order to furnish them with every pri- vacy and convenience possible. The morning sun entered the apart- ment cheerily by day and was made brilliant by night by two huge crystal changeliers fitted with electrie lights. The Foreign Office authorities have wholly turned over the suite of rooms devoted to the Peace Commissioners. No persons, even French officials, are to be allowed to enter the rooms while the commission is using them. France, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. del Casse, remarked at the breakfast which he gave in honor of the two commissions on. Wednesday last, has thus effaced herself, after bringing the two commissions in touch and sup- plying them with quarters for their conference. Thé session of the Peace Commissions lasted ninety minutes. The next ses- sion will take place Monday at 2 in the afternoon. Both commissions main- tained secrecy as to their proceedings. s Death of Chaplain Freeman: LOGANSPORT, Ind.. Oct. L.—Word was received here to-day that Rev..Thaddeus S.
