I THEORIES AS TO CAUSE ForJ ft Stokes and Ross. Rif fins ft Co. tit Eeivicst Losers-A Coa flijratloa Whtcn T&reitentJ the Business Center. The cause of the fire which destroyed on Sunday night the buildings belong ing to the Astoria Exchange Com pany near the corner of Bond and Twelfth streets, continues to remain a mystery. Several theories have been advanced, but there Is a wide diver gence of opinion as to which Is the most plausible. Nearly 100 barrel of lime belonging to Foard & Stokes were In the warehouse at the time and It la argued that the bursting of a water pipe or water from some other source might have been the cause. This theo ry Is supported by the fact that In that particular part of the building where the greatest damage was done the lime barrel were located. , Another theory is that of spontaneous combus tion In a pile of coal which had been stored near where the lime had been placed. As to the fire having been due to Incendiarism, there are few. If any, who entertain the Idea. The conclu sion of the authorities and those who have Investigated the matter closely Indicate an entirely different view. The loss sustained from the fire ha been variously estimated all the way from $4,004 to JS.000. It is reasonable to estimate the total loss at about $6000. Foard & Stoke were the heavi es losers. :; '. 5 The main, portion of the building bad been leased by the firm as a warehouse In which to store farming machinery and rough supplies. A dosen new mow. ing machines, a number of hay rakes, 190 barrels of lime, among other sup plies, were destroyed. Foard & Stokes estimated their loss at about $i:0O, with $600 Insurance. Ross, Elggina & Co., had a large quantity of hay stored in the building, all having been destroyed. The Alaska Fishermen's Packing As sociation occupied a corner of the building as offices. The association's loss was slight owing to the efforts of the fire department to save the safe and other valuable property from fall ing Into the river. The buildings were of comparatively Bmall value. $1,500 probably covering the log. There waa no insurance. The (ire was discovered about 10 o'clock and before an alarm could be turned In the flames had burst through the roof of the main building and were leaping ligh into the air. The building being entirely of wood the fire had enveloped the structure before the fire department arrived. Several buildinfes on the opposite side of the street, Fisher Bros.' store and the A. & C. railroad trestle were flick ering at many point before the stream was turned on. and for a while it waa feared that the fire had gained such headway that the department would be utterly unable to control It and that the entire business portion of the city would go down. The department managed matter most excellently, however, and suc ceeded In confining the ' flame to the building In which' the fire waa tlrst discovered and those Im-1 Majrr-Gencra.1 MacArthur the order . under which a squadron of Filipino by a j cavalry was organised In Manila for service against the Insurgent. r f NEW YORK, July 16.-A special to tte Herald from Washington say: Secretary Root ha received from i partment for; was reinforced number of the old volunteer.

A general order has been received at the war department giving the facts in the trial of Roman Laegamana, a native, charged with being a spy.

Th present plan of mounting them is in tended to render them more effective by increasing their mobility. Many of our army officers declare that we must eventually come to a very general use of native troops to preserve order In the provinces of Luzon and elsewhere. While several of our regiments are to day using small details of Ilocanos, Visayans, and even Tagalogs, as scouts ard guides, the organization of native sol'liers, with the notable exception of the Macabfbees, has been objected to by the authorities in Manila. When the Macabebee are controlled they dc good work in their own line, but they are very hard to restrain from outrage, looting and Indiscrimi nate killing. Several American offi cers have declined service with the Macabebees on the ground that it wa impossible to restrain them in mo ments of excitement.
