Its naif-bloc square building: at Ninth,

CSS.0U0 loss by a lira which started at
":44 o clock Monday night In the southeast
corner of the warehouse adjoining the
buliding on the east. Losing firms were
' well protected by Insurance.
Every fire company in the city responded
to the second alarm, the first having been
a "still" call, for one company, turned in
by a man pausing through the alley, who
saw the small blase and smoke. The fire
men fought the tenacious blazes until al
most midnight, when the last flicker of
spark had been extinguished. Two sua

Offices WKiitssa Fire.
The main part of the building, built ot
brick, three glories high and occupied by
the offices of the varloua companies, waa
very little damaged. The principal loss In
this part will be from smoke and water.
After the fire practically had been ex
tinguished in the warehouse, small biases
were found In the basement of the main
building. It waa feared tor a time that
the big brick would ooluvpse and Bremen
ni the managers of the concerns, who
ere busy carrying out records of their
companies' businesses, were stopped for
a time In their work. Firemen soon found,
.hough, that the smoke pouring out of the
main building waa from the warehouse.

The warehouse, being constructed ot
wood, protected from dampness by the
outer coating ot corrugated Iron, waa a
veritable furnace when the stiff north
wind drove the Camas into the combusti

within. The fire waa difficult for its
Centers to get to. owing to the fact that
the wind waa driving the flames toward
the closed brick building.

HAVANA, Auk 1 An uprttting against
the sovernment apparently of a serious
character appeared last night at Reels, a
suburb of Havana, situated across the har
bor, when General Guillern Acevedo. a
revolutionary veteran, with eight or ten
companions, armed and mounted, took the
Held. It la reported that the party was re
inforced by JN men.
Before leaving Regis, Acevedo issued a
manifesto denouncing the administration of
President Gomes as scandalous and corrupt
and adjuring all patriotic Cubans to rise
and overthrow it. He declared he would
give Gomes fifteen davs in which to re
sign, after which. If the warning was not
obeyed, lie intended to apply the torch and
destroy property Indiscriminately until the
whole Island waa reduced to ashes.
Setting forth from Regis the insurgents
skirted Havana, seemingly bound for Plnar
del Rio. They halted at the suburb of
Luyano, where they seised a ritlsen named
Naranjo. demanding that he act as their
guide. T'pon his refusal Naranjo was shot
dead. The party then rode on.
Early today strong detachments of ru
rales and regulars were dispatched In pur
suit of the rebels. The country In which they
are operating la thickly settled and It Is
probable that the rurales will have no dif
ficulty In following the trail. There are
rumors that a fight has already taken
place.
Acevedo headed an uprising In Plnar
del Rio province a year ago. He was cap
tured, tried and sentenced to Ufe Imprison
ment. Last October he waa pardoned. His
followers are believed to include some of
the desperadoes who attacked the rurales
In their barracks at Guanabacoa In 19W,
rr.asnacreing the garrison, which was the
first overtract of the revolution which over
threw Pal ma.
Brigadier General Geraldo Machado.
secretary of the Interior, In an official
statement to the Associated Press, said
that Acevedo was accompanied by only
four men and waa believed to be sur
rounded now by rurales twenty miles west
of the capital. News of his capture was
momentarily expected.
Acevedo la an active conservative parti
san and tills has given rise to the rumor
that the uprising wsa fomented by leaders
of the conservative party for the purpose
of making an Impression on Henry I
Stlmson. the American secretary of war on
his arrival here.
Brewing Journals
Advertise Drugs
for Coloring Beer
John R. Mauff of Chicago Puts Ada in
Evidence in Hearing on "What is
' Beer" in -Washington." y
WASHINGTON. A UK- 1. large display
advertisements in brewing journals offer
ing to the brewing trade various kinds of
chemicals for coloring; and preserving beer
were produced by John R. Mauff ot Chi
cago today at the resumption of "what is
beer?" hearing before Dr. Wiley and the
board of food and drugs inspection.
Mr. Mauft. who represents the National
Consumers' Lauras as well are the Barley
Growers at the northwest, also charged
that letter heads and advertisements of
brewers themselves contained Illustrations
ot barley, malt and hops when as a mat
tar of tact their bun s were made of corn,
rice and other substitutes. When he de
clared that a certain agent of one ot the
brewers' associations waa traveling about
among brewers Inducing them not to use
barley but other grains so as to effect a
drop In the price of barley. Dr. Wiley in
terposed: "Why, w ought to get the Sherman anti-trust
law after him."
"Why," said Mr. Mauff. "there's one
company claiming it can make beer out
of cabbage leaves."
"Pretty heavy beer, though, cabbags
beer," suggested Dr. Wiley.

HAMILTON. Onu. Aug. L At least eight
and perhaps ten lives were lost In a fire
which partly destroyed one of the main
buildings of the insane asylum on the
side of the mountain southwest of the city
early today. Thra were M patients In the
buildings when the f ire was discovered and
It was only a well-tratned fire fighting
corps and splendid cooluess and bravery
among the nurses and attendants under
Dr. English that averted a more frightful
loss of life.
There are four buildings In the group
within the aeytum grounds. The main
building where the fire occurred Is a four
story brick structure with basement, 300
feet In length and about seventy feet wide
with wings at either end. The women pa
tients numbering about 359. occupied quar
ters in the west wing. The remainder of
the buildings waa taken up with men's
wards and contained some of the most
desperate caseB In the asylum.
Mao lacs Become Vlaleat.
The women were moved without serious
difficulty to bouses in the adjoining build
ings. The situation among the men waa
more, serious. The fire broke out on the
fourth floor In what la known aa section D.
where the violent insane are kept. The
most of the men, guarded by attendants,
moved down three flights of stairs out of
the fire lone in orderly procession, but
about a score driven Into a frenzy by the
stifling smoke, and the excitement of a
midnight fire, fought off their rescuers with
desperate fury. Three of them, after be
ing carried down to the second floor, broke
away and fled back to the blazing cor
ridors. The flames In the meantime bad spread
down the hallway and were eating their
way through the floor to the third story.
The asylum brigade, although fighting
bravely, were handicapped by the maniacs
and were losing control.
City Brisjada Arrives.
The city brigade, which waa summoned,
waa then tolling up the almost precipitous
roadway leading to the asylum grounds.
It was nearly S o'clock before the first
of their apparatus was brought into play.

third and fourth Boar window where It
was believed some of the unfortunate bad
fled. They found It difficult work to break
down the Iron gratings on the windows, and
the fire In the meantime was growing
fiercer every minute. Crawling into the
stifling smoke, the firemen grouped thoir
way about until they found a maniac.
He waa still abls to offer resistance and It
waa necessary to knock him senseless,
when he waa dropped into the life nets be
low. Eight of the insane and one atten
dant who had lost consciousness In the
the work of rescue were saved, and it was
believed' at S o'clock that evwy patient
had been taken out ot the burning section
of the building.
Eight Bwdies Fowad.
The combined fire forces had the situ
ation well In hand by 1:30 a. m. The upper
floors and the roof ot the east wing were
burned and the lower floors were flooded
with water. As the firemen worked their
way into the burned section, bodies were
found. Thrve were in the hallway on the
top floor and one helpless paralytic was
burned to death in bis cell. Four mors
corpses were found huddled together In a
small room.
At dawn a systematic checking up of
the Inmates was begun and It was found
that between ten and twelve were missing.
It was thought probable that some of these
had escaped and were still at large in the
surrounding fields.

WASHINGTON. Aug. L Combined la the
same alliance that resulted in the passage
of a compromise woolen tariff revision bill
In the senate last week, the democrats and
republican insurgents ot that body today
passed a compromise farmers" free list bill.
The original house bill first waa defeated
and then reoffered In modified form by
Serator Kern of Indiana.
Aa amended and finally adopted, the bill
differed but Utile from the original. The
Kern compromise takes fresh meat prod
ucts out of ths free Hat bill, except such
aa come from countries that admit cer
tain American farm products duty free.
In effect It admits meats free only from
qountriea having reciprocal agreements
with the United States and It la under
stood It will apply only to Canada. The
senate earlier nan aeieateu oenawr
Riisv'a amendment, taking all meats out
of the tree list bUU The Kern amendment
r.nreented the attempt to reconcile the
democratic interests with ths insurgent re-
n.,hii.na aha belUived some further eon-
cessions should be obtained tor agricultural
products.
AsBradanemta Are Defeated.
The senate began Its final struggle an
the free list blU with the defeat of amend
ments offered by Senator Gronna of North
Dakota to put oement, lima, coal and coke
on the free Ust and to exempt boats and
shoes from Its pro vial cms.
Senator Gronna secured a roll call on the
amendment tor free coal andcoka. but waa
beaten. 52 to 32. Party Unas spilt on the
free coal proposition. Those voting tor the
Gronna amendment were:
Democrats Bailey. Bryan, Fletcher, Gore,
Owen, Hitchcock. Johnson (Maine), Mar
line, O-Gorman. Pomerene, Watson.
Republicans Borah, Brtstow, Brown.
C.app, Nelson, Crawford. Gamble, Cum
mins, Kenyon. Dixon, Gronna, McC umber,
and La FoUette.
Senator Bailey's amendment to exempt
beef and beef products from the free Ust
received the suport of thirteen republicans,
but was opposed by ths democrats except
Bailey.
It waa beaten on a roll call S3 to 14. those
voting for it being Bailey. Borah, Bourne,
Brtstow, Clapp, Crawford, Cummins. Dixon,
Gamble, Hey burn. Jones. Kenyon. La Fol
lette. TownsemL
The adoDtlon of the compromise measure
came after a narrow failure of democrat! J
efforts to pass the bill In its original form.
Rut for tha fact that Senator Bailey of
Texas refused to support the bill In tha
shape it bad passed the house, the measure
would have been passed unchanged by tha
senate. As It was, it was beaten by a tie
vote, 39 to 39, Senator Bailey being tha
only democrat to vote against It.
Vae far Kara Sabetltate.
The democrats and Insurgents were ready
for the defeat of the measure. While eev
eral ot them had voted for It, It was ap
parently understood that it it waa defeated
it would be resurrected, amended by a
compromise agreement and again brought
to a vote. Senator La FoUette of Wls
corsln, republican Insurgent, who had voted
against ths paasatfa of tha bill, made tha
motion to reconsider the vote. It carried
without a roll call. With ths bill restored
