was leaping through the roof and tho
galo was lifting it in forks and whirls
when tho fire apparatus camo into tho
roadway at Van Houten and Main
streets. The firemen tried to hem tho
blaze in, but it skipped across Van

it went, burned unchecked down into

EXTENDED MONROE DOCTRINE.
tlobson Would Have It Reach to the Walls
of Pekln.
New Haven, Conn., Feb. 8. Captain
R. P. Hohson, who was a guest of tho
Now Haven Business Men's association
at their annual banquet, urged that tho
Monroe doctrine bo extended to tho
Filipinos and to ttie walls of J'ekin,
declaring that Europeans should not
partition China, but open it to tho
trade of tho world, as tho United States
opened Japan. Among tho dangers that
face htirope, ho mentioned n possible
Slavic invasion, in the event of which,
ho said, it would fall to tho lot of tho
United States to assist in saving Eu
rope from general war. Without a rel
atively powerful navy, such action
would bo manifestly impossible. :
Smallpox at Reno.
Reno, Nuv., Feb. 11. Several now
cases of smallpox nro reported in Reno,

retary Seward offered $7,500,000,
which was declined. Ho afterward
ngreod to pay that amount for the
islands of St. Thomas nnd St. John, but
tho trade fell through because of com
plications which arose. Continuing
the report says:
"These islands, together with Porto
Rico, nro of great importance in
strategic way, whether tho strategy be
military or commercial. St. Thomas
is n natural point of call for all Euro
pean trade bound to tho West Indies
Central America or Northern Soutl
America. These islands, together witl
Porto Rico, form tho northeastern cor
ner of tho Caribbean sea and nro of
great importance in connection witl
the American isthmus, where a canal
will be constructed between tho At
lantic and the Pacific. They are of
first importance in connection with on
relations to the region of tho Orinoco
nnd tho Amazon nnd with our control
of tho Windward Passage. In viow of
tho isthmian canal and Eurorieaii set
tlemonts in South America, every addi

GAS MAINS BLOW UP.
Thirteen lives Are Lost In a Chicago fix.
plosion About a Hundred lniirid.
Chicago, l'ob. 7. Thirteen lives woro
lost, many persons slightly Injured, Imi
buildings were wrecked and $50,000
damage done by mi explosion ot gas to
night at tho Intersection of Twenty-second
street and Archer avenue.
Tho cause of the explosion Is un
known ami It has not yet been deter
mined whether It was sewer gas or Il
luminating gas. Mains filled with thu
latter were instantly iiblae after the
explosion mid n succession of explosions
followed, tho Haines shooting up through
tho manholes in tho street. It will
bo dllllciilt to ascertain whether Illum
inating gas exploded or whether the
mains were broken by an explosion of
sewer gas.
Many people living in the vicinity
believe that tho first explosion was III a
inaiii nt Twenty-second street mid
Archer avenue. Then tho manhole,
half a block south on Archer avenue,
was thrown Into tho air by it loud ex
plosion. Flames leaped mid roared
from the hole. Tho llro spread rapidly
and three other manholes wero blown
Into tho air. ,
The Humes from tho first gas main
shot high Into the air and reached,
with the aid of the wind, to n three
story frame structure, mid It had been
weakened mid nearly wrecked by the
shock. It is supiKised that tho occu
pants of the buildings were knocked
unconscious or woro too panic stricken
to rush from the place. Tho Humes
caught the weather worn timbers. Th
dry and rotting wood was food for the
fire, and in an Instant the llames had
enveloped the structure. With a roar
tho building collapsed, and thu occu
pants, with one exception, were carried
with it to tlio basement.
The adjoining building, a two story
structure, flared up, the next building
was wrapped in flames, and then an
other structure caught lire. It 'seemed
inai ino wnoie mock would lio wiprd
out before thu llremeu could bring tho
lilazo tinder control. A firewall of a
brick building at Archer avenue and
Twenty-second street held the firo in
that direction. On the west of the
burning buildings wero two small one
story cottages. They were u few feet
from tho burning buildings, and that
gavo tho firemen mi optiortutiity of
heading off tho llames.
Tho windows throughout the noliih
borhnod wero broken, and bottles and
glassware in thu dwellings and stores
wero thrown down and broken. Many
persons In buildings near tho explosions
wero knocked down. Scores of men
nnd women, many of them carrying
children, rushed to tho streets. They
wero greeted by tho glnro of thu firo
from the manholes. Fearing further
explosions, thu tieoplo rushed down tho
street, many of thu women screaming
wiiu irigni.
On several street cars near tho nlnco
tho windows wero smashed, mid tho
passengers wero severely shaken up.
hen tho people in tho cars saw the
llames gush from tho ground nil hands
rushed for tho doors. A unrulier of
persons were bruised and knocked down
m tho excitement. One cur filled with
passengers was thrown from tho tracks.

Panama, Feb, 10, Colonel Jtillen
Del (-astlllo, mi envoy from General
llerrern, the Insurgent rniiimuuder, ar
rived hero Inst night, escorted by po
lice, mid left I'ainuiiii at 10 o'clock.
Governor Arjona received Important
papers from Colonel Del Caslillo, for
himself mid for tho foreign consuls. A
conference of the coiihiiIs wiin held,
The note from General llerrern wa
addressed to the American, llrltlsh,
French mid German consuls. In It
General llerrern declared, aiming other
things, that the government of Heiior
Murroqulu, thu president of Columbia,
was not lawful, mid that, therefore, tho
rebels, although deploring the bloody
results of war, would light to the end
for (he ultimate success of liberal prin
ciples. General llerrern prosised that
tho consuls addressed ask their respec
tive governments to declare the line of
the I'miaum-Colon railway to Ih neutral
ground, on which the government
should not build eiitreiichiiieutH or th
Liberals attack, mid only a pollen for
be left to guard the Hue. General ller
rern said he promised. If possible, l
compel the government to attack t
Liberal forces, and that tho Liberal
had u strong Hoot and army, provided
with cannon, etc. General llerrern
also declared in his nolo that tho Lib
erals considered the capture of Pmimiiu
nnd Colon to 1st absolutely necessary for
the development of their military
plans, that they would act to obtain
such results, and that, in duo time,
they would notify the consuls of snrh
proved action, allowing i! I hours for
foreigners to take refuge at a plant of
safety to Ims agreed uhiii with the con
suls, mid that the point mi selected
should not lie fired tion. This Is thw
same phraseology which General I'nrras
used when tho late General Albmi de
fended Panama in July, 11100. Gener
al Herrera said that should tho consul
hi desire, ho would meet them, as welt
as it representative of tho Colombian
government, on lsiaril the United State
cruiser Philadelphia at thu Island of
Talsiga, the present headquarters of tho
revolutionary stall.
In government circles here it is W
I loved that General llerrern wants tv
gain time, for the government cannot
accept tho terms ho offered. When tht
expected reinforcements arrive on tho
isthmus from Puerto Colombia, the-
government will begin mi energetic mid
active campaign against tho rebels.
Panama and Colon aro now garrisoned
by i!,000 men. Governor General ("as
tro has 1,500 veterans under his com
mand, giving a total of 3,5(10. Thf
most sanguine Liberals do not claim
that General Herrera has over 1,500
men.
Governor Arjona said at the confer
ence of the consuls, which he attended,
that ho would not recognize, oven in
directly, tho right of the rebels to make
the proposals they did, that the consul
could not correspond with the Liberals,
as, oven wero they lielligerents, tho
consuls would bo required to havo th
permission of tho Colombian govern
ment to communicate with them.
Governor Arjona then demanded that
tho consuls send their replies to Gen
eral Herrera, promising to forward
them to tho I, literal general by messen
ger. To this thu consuls agreed.
