FLAMES SWEEP BALTIMORE.
Fire Department Absolutely Powerless
to Chcsk Progress of the Fire.
BALTIMORE One of the greatest,
if not the greatest fire In tho history
of American cities is now raging in
tho city of Baltimore. It started at
about 11 o'clock Sunday forenoon In
one of tho largo dry goodr Btorcs In
tho heart of tho city and at tho pres
ent writing it Is as far from being
under control as, at any time since its
inception. Aid has boon sunt by the
flro departments of Washington Phila
delphia and -Wilmington, but the com
bined efforts of tho flromon are mak
ing no Impression on tho limes.
Dynamite Is being used to stop Its
spread, buildings In Its pnth being
blown up In the hope of destroying
tho food for tho flamos. Those arc
being driven, howover, by a tierce galo
nnd burning brands are being scat
tered all over tho city and constantly
starting firen In now places. Theo
appears little hopo of stopping tho
progress of the lire until It has swept
overythlug In Its path.
Over 400 stronms from flro engines

the rapidity of somo conflagrations
and consequently so far as known no
llvos have been lost. Tho Immense
warehouses, storos and office build

ruins.
. Tho estimates of the losses vary
widely, and, in fact, It Is an Impossi
bility at this time to mako nn intelli
gent estimate. The estimates given,
howovor, range nil tho way from $10,
000.000 to $200,000,000. This latter
figure- is $10,000,000 in excess of the

Leaders of Revolution Are Shot to
WASHINGTON Mall aduces from

reached several persons Mil Washing
ton Wednesday indicate a territyins
state oi affairs has existed recently
in HaytL Ono letter from Port An
Prince gives the following account
of happenings at that place:
Affairs here are In a state of wild
and dreadful disorder. While tho
president. General Nord. was in Con
nives, a city in the northern part of
thl3 republic, a conspiracy was dis
covered to Inaugurate a revolution,
not so much against General Nord
himself as for the purpose or getting
control of the city and forcing the
presldent to agree to cortain measures
respecting the liberation and pardon
ing of a number of Haytians impli
cated In the bank scandal. When tho
time arrived to carry tho plot into
execution, many withdrew therefrom.
One of the number, General Maximo
Nomp.aizer, was, however, determin
ed to carry It through.
Learning of the conspiracy, the mil
itary governor or the city, with a
numocr of soldiers, broke Into tho
house where Nomplalzer and a few ot
his friends were gathered. Orders
wcro given to shoot all those within
on the spot. Those who were killed
were Nomplalzer. hla son, one or two
other persons and a servant. Tho
owner of the house escaped by jump
ing from a second story window, and
in doing so brake his log, but man
aged to crawl to the house of a Ger
man, who save him shelter.
The military authorities arrested
nnd imprisoned his wife. Hearing of
this, the man informed tho authorities
If they would relcaso his wife he
would return to his houce. Ho kept
his word, returning to tho house,
where the authorities found him in
bed after a phycicinn had set his leg.
Without any ceremony they killed him
as ho. lay there hv tiring thirteen bul
lets int2 his body. The foreign res
idents then became alarmod and thc
German admiral Informed tho authori
ties if their actions did not cease ho
would land mnrlues and take posses
sion of the city. This stopped fur
ther proceedings.
General Nord afterward reached
Pert An Princo and tho excitement
is allayod. Nearly nil tho foreign le
gations are full of refugees.
