An alarm of fi-e late this afternoo
called the department to the home of
Judge Le Fevre where the house was
found to be filled with smoke with no

Ci'led out the department. It is sup

alone at home, and her friends were

per* ion when it was found to be noth
ing serious.

MANY THOUSANDS
(United Pre as Telegraph-Cable Service.)
Norfolk, Dec. 16? The start for the great voya go of the
American navy for the Pacific, round the Horn was made
under the most favorable conditions this morning. It is the !
supreme test, in many respects for the navy. The ships
were dressed out in their finest, flags flying from every
point allowed under regulations* The spectacle was most
imposing.
President Roosevelt arrived at six o'clock, and the
the battleships were at once formed in line for general re
view. The president, aboard the Dolphin, led the way out
to the Virginia capes. At that poiut the Dolphin gave way
to the flag ship Connecticut.
A salute was fired and the fleet formed into sixteen
double lines. In this formation the fleet sailed down past
the Dolphin and proceeded on its way to the south. The
specatacle was witnessed by many thousands, every manner
of sea craft being brought into requisition to convey the
throng of spectators to the grounds. The fleet was watched
until it sank below the horizon. The cheers of the crowds
vied with the thunder of the guus in 3alute. <
WAR IS DECLARED BY j
STRIKERS AT GOLDFIELD i
WARN GENERAL FUNSTON THAT THE WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS WILL SURELY
MEAN BLOODSHED? SERIOUS SITUATION
(By United Pr*M.)
Goldfield. Dec. 16.? The situation
here has not changed except in the
matter of a deepening feeling of bitter
oess on the part of the strikers.
The leaders of the union* tlis morn
ing made a formal declaration to Gen
eral Funston that he must maintain the
troops here as their withdrawal means
bloodshed. This Is accepted by the
people of the town, if not by General
Funston, quite seriously, as a declara
tion of war. No overt act has been
committed, however. The situation is
very depressing to the c<mp. The
great majority of the peop'.e are in
sympathy with the movement for an
open c imp and against the strikers.
