Ftrcord Sliows That T'ort.y-Irive Conflagrations Ilav» il«'n I'larc as Contrasted With Only 1-jight of «.. .Note in th«* I'revioiSH Season Details of the Disasters. Nkw York, April 3.—The Margie Joiu'iiiil lias compiled a record of lives in American cotton on shipboard during the season just closed, which extends from (Jet. 2)J lust to 31 arch 23. This record shows that 45 conflagrations have taken place as contrasted with only eight of any note in the previous season.

The Journal says: It is impossible to ^estimate the actual loss that has occurred through these lires on board ships. In only a limited number of cases has the statement of loss been even approximated in the reports available for compilation. Not only the actual damage to cargoes on vessels, by fire and water, must be included in making up an aggregate statement of such loss, however, but also the delay and detention of the ship, ctc. It is probable, therefore, that this season's losses through tires in cargoes of American cotton, will largely exceed $1,U0U,000.

By contrast with Egyptian and Indian cotton this loss is beyond all comparison, for such a thing as fire in Egyptian or Indian cotton cargoes is practically unknown. The reason ascribed by all experts for this state of alhurs is because the American cotton is loosely baled and carelessly covered and haudled, whereus the cotton of tiie other countries referred to is baled so rightly that it becomes practically as impervious to combustion as a log of wood. it is pointed out. however, that a number oi: the lives referred to were ot incendiary

April 3.—From unoffi

cial advices reaching Washington, thcpenerai terms of the agreements signed Monday, by which the war between Mexico and Guatemala was averted, are substantially kmnvji. Mexico's demands were in the form of an ultimatum sent by Secretary Mariscai on Nov. 27, embracing the following points:

First-—Mexico asks saris faction for injuries received by the invasion of her territory and for the vexations of which foveignevs aud Mexicans cutting wood in the fovests of Agua Azal, Egypto, San .xdiolas and San Pedro and the Mexican vcsideuts of Ayutla have been tne object-. fcecond—Mexico also demands a pe--uniavy indemnity for the damages suslined.

Third—Mexico also demands indeminty for the expenses of the mobilization of her forces and of situating authorities aud employes suitable places for public security on tlie frontier.

Fourth—Mexico asks that the labors of tlie boundary commission, in accordance with the treaty of 1882, be speedily concluded, said treaty not being open to discussion.

It is understood that $2,000,000 was the amount of the indemnity demanded by Mexico. Also that she insisted on Guatemala dismissing her surveyor general. who had taken part in locating the boundary line.

On Jan. 12 Guatemala answered the ultimatum. It was pacific ill tone, but did not concede Mexico's right to the territovy designated in the ultimatum, nor to the right of a fixed cash indemnity.

The final negotiations are a compromise between the ultimatum and veply. 1 is believed that Mexico has airveed to arbitrate the amount of casli indemnity, instead of exacting the $2,000,000 livst claim". 1.
