V The building was unoccupied. a The origin of the fire is un- P j? known unless it was caused V > from heat generated by water coming in contact with a barrel of unslacked lime, which was in the house.

The following is taken from "hursday's Columbia State: By a vote of 25 to 14, which ame on a test motion, the sente last night passed to a third eading the SinKler bill, transerring the property of the ledical College of South Caroina to the state and establishng a state nvdical college, folding opposition mainly on the iart of the finance committee n financial grounds, and after . spirited debate. The bill had Iready passed tl e house. It is iroposed to put the school iri lass A of the medical instituions of the country. The bill ,s amended and passed proides for ap appropriation ol 110,000 for the purpose of reorganizing the college and for uch annual appropriations as vill be necessary.

These includ- s ed large numbers of foreigners F y* who could find in no part of the r city a spot free from danger. Shells raked the principal ? streets of the capital and tore their way into private homes * and business houses as well as j a through the public structure * for which they were intended. a The Cuban and Belgian lega-111 tions were rendered untenable, J1 the occupants seeking refuge iJ" elsewhere. The French consu- * late suffered a fate similar to ? that of the American consulate e several days ago, the consul P transferring his office to his h country's legation. Both gov- * ernment and rebels insist that j they will fight to a finish. At 5 o'clock this evening it 0 was reported that General Diaz 0 had demanded the surrender of t the national palace. All through 11 the day the rebel batteries of j1 heavy guns were throwing a a fierce fire of shells and shrapnel around the palace. Many of these dropped into the Zooalo, which fronts the building, and the federal soldiers were com- ^ pelled to move to cover. Before dark the fire on both ; sides was intermittent but ap- v parently less vigorous from the s federals. The government ii troops were receiving ammuni- b f l nr\ in o m a u ViV?
