In the meantime King Nicholas has issued a proclamation at Scutari form? ally taking possession of the town. The report that an Austrian expedi? tion left Trteate has not yet been of? ficially confirmed but there is great war-like activity in Austria and Arch? duke Franx. heir to the throne, who is regarded as the leader of the mili? tary party, has returned unexp.. ti dh to Vienna from a holiday. He had a long conference yesterday with Em? peror Francis Joseph. Essad Pasha, the hero of Scutari, who has had a picturesque and adven? turous career, made a dramatic move In proclaiming himself king of Al? bania and U said to be marching Into the Interior of Albania with 40.0UO men. He was received with enthusiasm at Alelsco snd is proceeding to Tirana to be proclaimed and to take posses? sion.

Essad Is said to have Joined DJavld Pasha's army of ?,000 men and if he has the support of Her via and Montenegro It would be a severo blow to Austria. A Belgrade dispatch to The Dally Mail asserts that Essad Pasha's Al-! lanlan standing assures his success and that he has an alliance aith King Nicholas. The dispatch adds that Es? sad is approaching Tirana with 2ft. 000 troops and that Djavid Pasha will become his minister of war. MAKES HIMSELF KIN li? ierender of Sru**r!

Part of (?II t'omanv riant is Destroy? ed with Probable Sl'O.OOO Loss. Rateaburg, \pril 27.?The most dis? astrous lire in the history of Dates burg occurred today about 12 o'clock, when a large portion of the plant of the Batesburg Cotton OH Company was destroyed. The entire build? ings and machinery of the oil plant proper were destroyed. The ginner and the fertiliser plants, operated by the same company, were saved with little damage. The loss is estimated at from $60,000 to $60,000 with $25, 000 insurance. It la difficult to account for the ori? gin of the fire. The theory most gen? erally advanced is that it caught from a passing locomotive. However, the last morning train had passed some time before the fire was discovered. The fire was fbst seen in a portion of the seed and hull house nearest the railroad, but in a very few min? utes the flames had spread to every portion of the building. The plant being out of the sone of the town's water system, it was impossible to extinguish the flames, and all energies were bent to the saving of the nearby buildings. In this the (ire department was very successful, being materially aided, as it was, by the winds which carried the flames and sparks across a large open area.
