DESTRUCTP7E FIRE.
Burning of Wharves and Freights in Baltimore
Richmond and York River Steamship Line the
Greatest Loser.
Baltimore, December 22. A fire
broke out at pier 2, corner of Pratt

Basin, this morning, on the wharves
occupied by the Richmond and York
River Steamboat Line, R. Foster, agent,
and the Ericson Line (Philadelphia
and Baltimore.) J. A. Sh river, agent.
Fortunately a comparatively small
amount of freight was on the wharves.
As near as can be ascertained at pres
ent, two hundred bales of cotton, one
hundred boxes of sugar, one hundred
and fifty bags of coffee, a small quan
tity of tobacco and other freight was
damaged by the fire and water, and
twenty-five barrels of petroleum was
burned, with the shed roofs of the
piers. The steamer Shirly, lying along
the side of the wharf, was slightly dam
aged. No other damage was done the
shipping. The moat damage is to the
freight belonging to the York River
Line. The fire originated from the
stove pipe in a watchman's hocse on
the wharf.

London, December 22. The Times1
Vienna special says negotiations have
been procetdingsometimn concerning
the neutralization of the Danube. No
understanding has been reached so
far, as Russia wishes the neutrality to
extend to the sea, whilst England and
Turkey seem only inclined to let it
reach Sulina.
The Times' correspondent at Athens is
assured that many Cretan chiefsdissatis-
fied with tne cautious policy of Greece,
have adopted as their programme,
freedom under the protection of Eng
land. Athenian clubs propose to make
threatening demonstrations in favor f
war on Sunday, which the authorities
intend to suppress.
The Timet' Paris correspondent says
a telegram from Constantinople an-
nounces that ssuieman rasna sianeu

The Times, in its column ol military
and naval intelligence, says : "During
the past twelve months ships have
been censtantly employed conveying
stores to Gibraltar and Malta, at each
of which there is now a vast accumu
lation of war material. Orders have
been received at Woolwick for the
manufacture of 16 pounder field guns.
It has also been determined that four
80 ton euns for the 'Inflexible' are to

New Yoek, Dec 22. The loss by the

pamee have raised the question that
they are not responsible for the de
struction by the explosion. The value
of the property destroyed must be bas
ed upon its condition at the moment
between the explosion and the fire
which it occasioned. No theory has
yet been advanced to account for the
