HISTORIC LANDMARKS BURNED. _ _ jTorty-four Houses in the Ancient Spanish Town Destroyed Like so Many Tinder 1 PileB---Thirty Acres Burned Over and ! the Homeless Families Camping: Out— J Fire in a New York Village. f Forty-sjx residences and stores and many 'other buildings were burned at St. Augustine, iFla.. in the space of four hours, rendering about 100 families homeless and leaving many tourists to seek shelter elsewhere, i The fire started in the historic building in Charlotte street, where Vernancio Sanchez was born eighty-six years ago, and where for half a century the venerable John Masters worked at the forge, and rapidly spread through the narrow street, eating up both coquina and frame buildings as if they were made of tinder, until forty-four houses were destroyed. At the first alarm firemen citizens, and /visitors hastened to the scene, for ever since the great fire of nine years ago the citizens liave feared.just such a disaster as has occurred. Thje flames rolled up house after house, from Baya lane to and including the picket fence on the south side of Fort Marion's green, and from the rear of .the east side of St. George street to the sea wall, including the row of palmetto trees along the wall, and the furniture and belongings of tne occupants of the houses fronting |the bay, as did the flames which consumed the old Cathedral nine years ago. 1 Among the most valuable residences destroyed were those belonging to and occupied jby Lieutenant IT. L. Willoughby and family, Jbf Newport. R. 1., and the property of Architect James Renwick. of New York. Carcafca's cigar factory, with $12,000 worth of jHavana cigars, was also burned. j The home of A. J. Burgess, au inventor of irapid-firing firearms, and other houses, covering an area of about thirty acres,, were destroyed. Only smoldering embers now mark the historic old town. m The total insurance is $37,000} and tke total joes ia estimate I at Another such fire and St. Augustine traqfrot longer lay claim to being the ancient city, for it would have no vestige of the homes of the iSpanish dons and sencritas* to merit the name of the old Spanish city. I The United States troops, under command of Colonel Bainbridge, did yeoman service and worked unceasingly and courageously, junmindful of harm, until the fire was checked. Many families went in camp on the tfort green with what of their effects they saved. Several families also occupied the old jslave market. VILLAGE SWEPT BY FIRE.

Birthday Festivities in Many Cities in Honor of Hero. FRIEDRICHSHUHFTHE MECCA. at the National Monument on the Niederwald—Hamburg Decorated and Illuminated—Six Thousand Students Assembled for the Great Procession—A Host of Sightseers Present. The eyes of all Germans throughout the world are now turned toward the Fatherland, where Prince Otto von Bismarck, the Founder of the Empire, has been made the object of such testimonials of affection, reverence and admiration as have but seldom fallen to the lot of an individual. The occasion for this outburst was the eightieth anniversary of the birthday of the Iron Chancellor, and amid the almost universal chorus of natal felicitations only one discordant note was struck—the refusal of the Eeichstag to tender to him a vote of congratulation. A dispatch fromFriedrichsruhe says: Over a thousand parcels containing presents for Prince Bismarck arrived at his castle, even before the formal eightieth anniversary of his birthday. Twenty-three postofnce clerks were engaged all day and until late at night sorting the messages of congratulation, the number of which was then officially given as over 200.000. A beautiful, sunny afternoon brought thousands of people to the ca3tle gates, where they vainly sought admittance to the park in the hope of catching sight of the ex-Chancellor. Dr. Chrysander, in view of the great orowds that thronged the park, was firm in his decision not to admit the public. Prince Bismarck did not take his customary walk, but had a short stroll around the park to gather strength. Palisades were erected behind the park to prevent marauders from intruding upon the privacy of the ex-Chancellor. Beer and champagne booths were put up ou the right and left of the station for the accommodation of visitors. Along the triumphal way to the castle gates were numerous beflagged poles surmounted by garlands of fir. ftuniDerles3 presents of all conceivable kinds continued to arrive from all parts of the world. Count Herbert and Count William, Prince Bismarck's sons, with their families, arrived, and Dr. Schweninger arrived to take part in the ceremonies. At Hamburg, notwithstanding rain and mud, the streets were a black mass of people, •in which here and there could be seen many colored dots, these being the caps of all hues worn by the 6000 students gathered to take part in the procession. On all the houses in the city flags were displayed, and on most of them wreaths and garlands added to the decorations. Many of the shop windows were converted into small temples for the glorification of Bismarck. In these busts of the ex-Chancellor, surrounded with suitable decorations and inscriptions, were to be seen. There was hardly a house without candles and tinted l mps in the windows. Lombards Bridge as illuminated with 68,000 jets of gas. The I'isconto Bank was made brilliant with 12,- 000 gas jets, and the Deutsche Bank displayed 10,000. On the Rathaus were 10,000 candles on the Bourse, 5000, while the Victoria Rotel had 2000 colored lamps. About 9.30 p. m. the rain ceased and Hamburg City presentod a fairy-like spectacle. Magnesium lights on the oldfashioned towers givwa mdfcical brilliancy to the scene and &> numerous were the jlluminations that */ey crofted the imprefJMMfthat the cityy. was ol fire. Fire- all colors afcd u.?scjriptions were eon«rually set off, and yhe glittering pyrotechnics with their sparks of varipu3 hues formed a veautrtnl speccacle over the Alstor basin. The people of the Rhine valley united at Budesheini in honoring Bismarck at the National monument on the Niederwald. Conservatives, National Liberals, and Centrists took part in the ceremonies. The people of Budesheim placed on the National monument a laurel wreath on which,was inscribed "A Grateful Bhineland."  The ceremonies began at 10 o'clock, when a party of prominent people arrived at the Niederwald. The First President of Hesse- Nassau made the opening speech and gave a toast to the Emperor. This was followed by the singing of the National, air. Professor Onken, from Giessen, made an address eulogistic of Bismarck, which was followed by the singing of "Deutschland Ue'oer Alles," and then the "Kaiser Wilhelm und Fuerst Bismarck" march concluded the morning's programme. Iu the afternoon there was a promenade concert from 3 to 5 o'clock on Bhine street. A wine kommers was held in the Bhinehall. the principal features being a toast to the Emperor, a speech on the achievements of Bismarck, and a song in honor of the ex- Chancellor. At 8 o'clock there was a general illumination. At Frankfort-on-the-Main the Saalbau was crowded with guests on the occasion of the kommers in honor of Bismarck. Hans Blum, of Leipzig, and Professor Bohrhurst, of Heidelberg, were the orators. A feature of the celebration was the uncovering of a memorial tablet in the house o i Grosse Gallus Strasse. where Bismarck dwelt when Prussian Ambassador to the German Diet, in 1852. Festivities in honor of Prince Bismarck were held also in Wittenberg, Essenruht. Brunswick and Posen. In Munich, the Bavarian capital, a musicale in nonowpf the occasion was' gr-en in the Odeon.

THE WAR PRACTICALLY OVER. Throughout the Conferences at Shimonoseki All Movements of War Will Be Suspended—The Wound Received by I<i Hung Chang the Cause of the Temporary Ending of Hostilities. A cable dispatch from Yokohoma says that the Japanese Government will suspend all war movements as long as the .peace negotiations last. Admiral Ito has been recalled from Formosa to Japan. In consequence of the armistice voluntarily granted by the Japanese Government, all aggressive operations will be abandoned during the whole term of the peace conference.The declaration of an armistice is believed to be entirely the result of the attack on Li Hung Chang. A special despatch from Shimonoseki says the three weeks' armistice agreed to between Japan and China applies only to the localities of Moukden, the Gulf of Pechill and the Shantung Peninsula. A despatch from Hong Kong says the Japanese bombarded the city of Tai-Wau-Foo, the capital of Formosa. The State Department at Washington heard from its own representative concerning the armistice just proclaimed by the Emperor of Japan. A brief cablegram received from Minister Dunn at Tokio confirms without giving particulars the advices received by Minister Kurino and transmitted to the State Department. The armistice now being an established fact, the chief interest hinges for the time being on the condition of Li Hung Chang, the Chinese pease commissioner, who was wounded by a Japanese fanatic in Shimonoseki. At the Japanese Legation it is assumed that the peace negotiations cannot be resumed until Li Hung Chang has recovered or his condition becomes such as to make it necessary for China to appoint a new envoy. As far as can be learned, nothing has been received at either the Japanese or Chinese legations or the State Department concerning his condition. It continues to be the general opinion among Administration officials and diplomats that the declaration of an armistice practically means an ending of the war. This is based not so much on the theory that Japan will be likely to grant concessions, which she would not have done had it not been for the assault upon the Chinese Envoy, as the belief that China is now sincere in her desire to bring an end to hostilities upon almost any terms. It is thought not unlikely that European powers will take advantage of the present suspension of negotiations to shape matters in auch a way as to practically force an agreement when the negotiations are resumed. According to the terms of the armistice the movement of troops and the transportation of articles contraband of war by. sea is forbidden. New distribution of troops not intended to augment the armies in the field is allowed. Koyama Eokunosuki, the young Japanese who attempted to assassinate Li Hung Chang, has been sentenced to penal servitude for life. EMPEROP. OF JAPAN. EMPEROE OP CHINA. Killed in a Trolley Runaway.
