When Chief Sullivan of the Fire De- | partment arrived on the scene the con- | flagration had assumed such proportions | at he sent_in a third alarm and appar- | tus came from all parts of the city. Hy- drants were scarce south of Fourth | | street bridge and only two engines were | able to couple close to the fire. The others | | ther, United | | saved from further ravages. ‘The arrival of the flre tugs Governor Markham and Governor Irwin did much to relieve the pressure and limit the dam- age by supplying the much felt want of water supply. Four lines of hose 'were laid from the Markham and three from the Irwin and with these reinforcements the firemen fought their way through the | blazing avenues and finally outlined limits within which they were able to hold the flames. For hours a vast volume of water was poured from more than thirty lines of | hose at the seething furnace and still the | flames continued to burn. The peculiar | manner of piling lumber renders it ex- tremely open to the attack of flames | and protects the fire from the action of | water. Added to this a hard wind was blowing from the west and it took the utmost efforts of the Fire Department to hold the conflagration inside its original limits. WHARF IS IN FLAMES. The center of the wharf on which the burning lumber was piled caught fire un- derneath and for hours presented a solid wall of flame over the water of the bay. After the fire on the surface had been controlled holes were cut in the wharf and streams deflected below, with the re- sult that all those portions of the struc- ture that had not already caved in were At 1 o'clock Chief Sullivan announced that the fire was under control. When the flames spread to the engine- room of the planing mill the engineers were driven out before they could drain the boilers and for a time it was feared that explosions might add fatalities to the | disaster. One of the boilers did explode, but it caused ne serious damage.

Editor Declares Separation From Colombia Is Gen- erally Desired. Spectal Cable to The Call and New York Herald. _Copyright, 1003, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. PANAMA, Aug. 6.—By order of the Government, El Istmeno, a newspaper, has been suspended for slx months for publishing an article advocating the inde- pendence of the isthmus of Panama from Colombia. The objectionable article is as follow: Has Colombla responded to the sincers ad- hesion, loyaity and important services of the isthmus of Panama, of the same origin and having the same tendencles, religious senti- ments and language? Can anybody answer affirmatively? 1Is the isthmus of Panama happy and prosperous, belonging to Colombia? Would it not be happler seceding as an inde- pendent, sovereign republic? Has not the above idea been germinating for years in the hearts of patriotic isthmians, owing to the justified | resentment of the noble people of this unfor- | tunate strip of land which annexed itself to Colombia of its own free Will? Panama can and should be absolutely independent. We are not happy, not satisfied In any way under Co- lombian control. Isthmians without exception ore separatists and dream of independence. We do not seek annexatlon to forelgn powers. We advocate and proclaim a soverelgn republic governed and controlled by isthmians alone. Costa Rica is a small nation, yet a happy and prosperous one. Why not the isthmus, being larger and with more elements, why shouid it not become independent and prosperous? — e .

FAVORS CUTTING NAVAL BUDGETS Great Britainand France Approach Friendly Attitude. Baron d’Estournelles Voices Results of Recent Conference. N P PARIB, Aug. 5.—Baron &'Estournelles de Constant, who headed the French par- liamentary arbitration group on its re- cent visit to London, has written an im- portant letter to Foreign Minister Del- casse setting forth the results of the re- | cent exchanges of views in London and Paris between members of the British and French Parliaments and the leading Ministers of the two governments. The conferences included those with Foreign Minister Lansdowne and Colonial Secre- tary Chamberlain, and there is good rea- son to believe that Baron d’Estournelles in the references he makes in his letters to the conclusion of an arbitration treaty for the settlement of the outstanding Anglo-French difficulties has the distinct approval of those controlling Great Brit- | ain's foreign policy, while his suggestion | for a reduction of naval force is due en- tirely to the initiative of the leading mem- bers of the British Ministrv. The letter says that during twenty years | the fear of Parllamentary opposition has | alone prevented the sentiment of the An- | glo-French difficulties, and now that that fear is dispelled nothing prevents the adoption of a conciliatory policy. distinction of party, says the Baron. were | as the former one was obscure. The new policy has three essentlal ob- jects: First, tne conclysion of a reason- able arbitration treaty similar to that negotiated between Great Britain and the United States, and in accordance with clause 19 of The Hague international ar- bitration convention; second, a reduction in the overwhelming naval expenses, in ADVERTISEMENTS.

Catarrh of the Stomach Is Generally Called Dyspepsia—Something to Produce Artificial Digestion Is Generally Taken. Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host of Other Digestive Remedies Have Been Invented. These Remedies Do_lot Reach the Seat of the Difficalty, Which Is Really Catarrh. X U. 8. Senator M. C. Butler from South Carolina was Senator from that State for two terms. In a gent letter to The Peruna Medictne Co., from Washington, D. C., he says: “I can recommend Peruna for dys- pepsia and stomach trouble. | have bnq using your medicine for a short period and | feel very much relieved. It is indeed a wondsrful medgine, besides a good tonic.””—M. C. Butler. The only rational way to cure dyspep- sia is to remove the catarrh. eruna cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce artificial digestion. It cures catarr and leaves the stomach to perform digestion in a natural way. This is vastly better and safer resorting methods. Peruna has cured more cases of dys- pepsia than all other remedies com- bined, simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. ~If catarrh is located in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as well in this location as in any other.

PORTLAND, Me., Aug. 5.—At midnight last night that portion of the New Eng- land coast from the boundary to Cape Ann had been theoretically threatened by a hostile fieet for a period of twelve hours, but so far as known the “enemy” had not taken advantage of the northeast storm and thick weather to slip past the defend- ing fleet and establish himself in any harbor. The attacking fleet has been at | sea for about three days and will have | till Saturday to win the game planned by | the naval experts in Washington by oc- cupying any of the harbors on this por- tion of the coast for a period of five hours without being destroyed. The defending fleet under the command of Rear Admiral Barker sailed from Bar Harbor at 6 o'clock yesterday morning and by night | the various ships of the squadron were | well distributed along the coast and the | work of patrol had begun. Many of the ships are equipped with a wireless system | of telegraph, so that a majority of them can be concentrated at any point within a short time. Several vessels of this fleet were sighted during the day at various points along the coast. It is expected that the attacking fleet will head for one of the many harbors to the eastward of this port, as those to the | westward are comparatively few. With Admiral Barker to act on the de-| | fensive are Admiral Coughlin on his flag- | | ship, the Olympia, and Admiral Wise on | | his flagship, the Yankee. The vessels of | the fleet are the battleship Alabama and | Ilinois, the cruisers Baltimore, Prairle { and Panther, the dispatch boat Vixen, | the torpedo boat destroyers Decatur, | Bainbridge, Barry, Dale and Chauncey, two Government tugs and the schoolship | Hartford. As the hostile fleet, which sailed Monday under Rear Admiral Sands, is permitted to make an attack or attempt an anchorage at any time after this noon, | it was expected that every vessel on the defense would reach its position before | nightfall. They must protect the coast | from Cape Ann to Eastport. | Admiral Sands’ squadron includes the battleships Indiana, Massachusetts and Texas,and three torpedo boat destroyers. ——————— SANTA MONICA COURTS Alice Scott Beats May Carter in the Final of the Ladies’ Handi- cap Singles.
