CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 8.—.-The revolu- tionists in Guatemala finally succeeded Wednesday in drawing Barillas’ army into a fight, and the government troops were badly used up, retreating to Guate- mala city, forty miles away from the scene of the fight. There was great secret re- joicing in the city when the news reached there Of the defeat of the government troops. President Ezeta declares that the Guatemalans are ripe for a plan of con- solidating all Central America into one republic, and he will not lose the oppor- tunity of bringing about this result. BOULANGER WAS I‘VELL OFF. Mme. Bonnemain at Her Death Left Him Three Million Francs. BRUSSELS, Oct. 3.——Several photographs of the body of General Boulanger have been taken as it rests in the coffin. The coffin is composed of three cases. The in- nermost one is of lead, lined with white satin. On the lid is a large mahogany cross, and a copper plate‘ upon which is inscribed, “General Boulanger.” A chambermaid, on entering General Boulanger’s room a. fortnight ago, sur- prised him on the point of committing suicide. Mme. Bonnemain left Boulanger 3,000,- 000 francs in her will, and he died with- out debts or pecuniary difl‘iculties of any kind. ‘ The Pennonia’s Crew Saved. APIA, Samoa, Oct. 3.——The Penionia, re- ported lost with all hands some months ago, has been heard from. She was wrecked on one of the islands of the Mar- shall group May 4.

Preparations are being my idly made for the departure of the Rat: and Captain Mannzen says she will leav Saturday and proceed direct to Valparaiso Egan and the Junta.

HALIFAX WIS IN PERIL A Conflagral-i m That for a Time Threathened the Whole City. THE MILITARY CALLED OUT Buildings Were Blown Up to Stay the Spread of the Flames and the Fire Got Under Control with xi Loss of Only Half a l‘Iillion Dollars. HALIFAX, N. 8., Oct. 3,—The most dis- astrous fire that has visited Halifax in years started in Merliu’s planing mill on Taylor’s wharf, near the Cunard wharves. In a few minutes the place was all ablaze and the fire spread rapidly. A gentle breeze from the north carried showers of live sparks to the buildings, vessels and Wharves south of the fire. The whole department was called out and engines from Dartmouth came over to render as sistance. Within an hour Merlin’s mill, Wilson’s blacksmith shop, John Taylor & Co.’s big fish warehouse, filled with pickled fish: Brookfield Bros.’ lumber warehouse and yards, all on the Taylor and Brookfield Wharves, were destroyed. By this time the fire had spread to Liverpool wharf on the north and burned out Butler’s spar- yard, B. Swenerton, Miller’s agent, the Halifax broom factory, J. B. Neills & 00., commission merchants, and Shatford Bros. , oil dealers. Oil Dumped Overboard. Large quantities of petroleum were stored on this Wharf. and there were great fears of an explosion. This was prevented by rolling the oil into the deck. The fire also spread simultaneously to the South Wharf, and soon the immense fish ware- houses of John Taylor & CO. were a prey to the flames. The firemen then directed their efforts to prevent the spread of the flames to the big fish warehouse of Daniel Cronin on the south and De Wolf & Sons, agents of the Anchor line, on the north. A score of schooners at the burning wharves were quickly moved out into the harbor. In less than an hour t a whole block from John Cronin’s on t e south to the north side of Hamilton’s wharf on the north, almost adjoining the Cunard wharves, had been destroyed. The city is crowded with visitors attending the ex- hibition and 10,000 spectators lined the Wharves in the vicinity of the confiagra- tion. The oil was mostly importations of the Standard Oil company and the Eastern Oil company. The City Threatened. The flames spread with such frightful rapidity that the whole city was threat ened and the military was called out, and the admiral ordered out all the men-of- War sailors with their hand engines and reels. The Royal Engineers blew up a number of buildings to prevent the spread of the fire. After another hour of hard fighting the flames were got under control and the danger to the rest of the city averted. The loss will be over half a million. . No loss of life is reported.
