was blown down.
When the storm came up Boss Car
penter Cross called to his men who were
working on the building to get out of
the building, and twelve OF them jumped
from the windows. At the same mo
ment number Of passerS-by ran into
the structure to escape the storm. AS
they entered the building, without All

seventeen men. The structure did moi

the fall was thlrty-eight feet.
Hundreds saw the catastrophe, and
the work of rescue began at once The
ruins stood not six feet above the
ground. and the roof seemed to cover
the whole, greatly retarding the work
of rescue
Hermann PauSSey was first recovered

body broken.
John Laur was found on his back
with four timbers lying across him

The bodies of Charles LuciuS and an
unknown man, evidently one of those
who took shelter in the ill-fated build,

floor. Both bodies were llattenpd out
of all resemblance to humanity.
While the work Of rescue had been
going on, rain and lightning, with high

the storm became terrific, forcing the
men to leave work, which has now

WILL COME BACK.
The Charleston to Convoy the Itata Back tt
San Diego

The Charleston to Convoy the Itata Back to
San Diego.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-Secretary Tracy
said the next step will be to send the Itata
back to the United States to stand trial.
There is no expectation that the officers and
crew will jeoparGze their liberty by return
ing with the vessel to San Diego, and, in
fact, as it was reported from Mexico that
the commander of the insurgent war-ship
Esmeralda acted as Captain of the Itata as
far as Acapulco, there are at least good
reasons why he must not return to the
United States.
In official circles it is believed that the
Itata is not likely to suffer heavily as the
result of her escapade. Credence is given
to the statement telegraphed from Chile that
the vessel took contTaband arms and ammu-
milton from the Robert and Minnie outside of
United States jurisdiction. Ii this is true the
offenSe against the neutrality laws is mini
mzed, and it is very doubtful if ease would
be made out against her in the present state
of the uncertain construction of the law.
There is little doubt that she can be held
on other charges, such as contempt of court
In sailing away while under an attachment,
kidnapping a Marshal and sailing without
clearance papers, but these are minor Of
fenses whose punishment is likely to take
the shape of fines and not TO the length of
the forfeiture of the vessel.
The only dispatch received at the Navy
Department to-day from Admiral MeCann
at Iquique was correcting the statement as
to the location of the ltata when the arms
were transferred to it from the schooner
Robert and Minnie. This transfer, the dis
patch says, took place off San Clemente
Islands, few miles from the coast, instead
OF off San Diego harbor. The location of
the transfer may be of importance in de-
termining the question of jurisdiction of the
United States courts.

TOO much to suggest that men, honorably
DeueVlng themselves 10 be acting as plain
tl1s friends, should be treated as coming
into court and not believing him guilty be-
cause they did not issue against him an un-
merelful edict Of irrevocable condemnation.
Could anythingbe imputed to the witnesses
TO justify the assumption that they were
hos credltatle. he had not known in his
experience five witnesses who gave such
concurrent evidence. which was so abS0-
luIely untouched by the crOss-examination.
This concluded the case for the defense,
ana Sir Charles Russell, in behalf of the de-
tense, addressed the jury. AT the conelu-
sion OF the address the court adjourned to
Monday next.
COMMENTS ON THE PROBABLE RESULT.
Rumor las it that Cumming is determined
10 De revenged, for some reason or other,
upon p the Prince of Wales and Mrs Arthur
wilson. The jury does not know, hut it is
well known in Cummings circle, that he
was not asked to the Wilson's as friend
OF the family but because he was in the
Frlnce OF Wales party, which made an in
Vitatlon to him compulsory. Unless Cum
ming Introduces some new element into the
case the jury is almost bound 10 find
verdict against him, or disagree, as it is
case or five to one. In an English court
OF justice the five are certain 10 win, unless
their reputation be impugned, and nothing
OIL that sort has been attempted 10 this case
yet Public sympathy is altogether with
Cumming.
Among the more circumscribed cliQues OF
ultra-fashiOnable society the opinion Is n OF
altogether favorable to the defense. Men
and women of the world and of that smaller
world blame Mrs. Wilson for allowing the
scandal to leak out, and many say that she
SHOWS she is parvenue. She is the daugh-
ter OF Postmaster in Leeds, and was SELL
ing stamps over small counter eight years

WEIGH METHoDIsTs PROTEST.
CARDIFF, June 5. - The Methodists of
South Wales have adopted a resolution eX-
pressing regret at learning that the Prince
OF Wales took part in the game Of baccarat
at Tranby Croft. 1t adds: I'VE respect

lection to the throne which has ever been
cherished by u.s."

Tried Here.
Erecial to THE MORNING CALI

New YORK. June 5.-The Herald's Iqul-
practically at an end. A prize crew from
the Charleston went aboard the long-s0ught-
for craft this morning and took formal pos
session of her. The steamer arrived
Wednesday night and took up position
near the Charleston. She received royal
welcome from the citizens of Iquique yes
terday. Captain Mauzum, her commander,
is the hero of the hour and was given a
rousing reception by the citizens when he
landed and reported his arrival to the in
surgent authorities. As soon as she can
make ready she will start for San Diego
under convoy of the Charleston.
Just what led the insurgents to surren-
der the ships arms is not known definitely.
but the general opinion is that Admiral Nc
Cam informed the authorities that unless
the cargo. as we'll as the ship, were
given up to him, in conformity with
his instructions from the Navy Depart
ment he would take action to get them.
The rebels have all they want on their
no desire to bring down on them the en-
nifty of the United States naval
forces here. 1t is hoped by the
rebel leaders that quiet surrender
and the subsequent negotiations may in
duce the United States Government to
accord them belligerent rights. Ii they can
accomplish this, the loss of several 1tatas,
with much more valuable cargOes, would be
a cheap price to pay. The Congressional
Government, in view of its quiet surrender
OF the Itata and the statement that she
took her arms and ammunition after sail
ing from San Diego, says the Junta, ap-
peals to the considerations of equity and
humanity, and has asked that while the
Itata goes to San Diego, her arms mag re-
main in the custody of the American Adj
miral until a judgment is rendered by the
courts.
The machinery of the steamer Itate is in
a bad state and it will require some days to
put it in order again. The Junta alleges
that. the arms having been transferred to
the Itata near the Island of San Clemente,
the American law was not violated, and it
is making strong representations to the
United States Government with the view of
getting possession Of the munitions OF war.
