BIG HO| i FL |. CONE
Famous Delevan House at
Albany, N. y, Totally De-
stroyed by Fire.
THE LOSS is HALF A MILLION.
Several Persons Fatally In
jured by Leaping From
the Windows. @

ALBANY, N. r., Dec. 31.-The candi-
dacy Of tho several men for speaker Of
the assembly raised startling bap-
tism Of fire here, for the Delavan
House, that famous hostelry known
from Maine to California, the Mecca Of
politicians and the center Of all big
state political extents for 40 years, was
completely destroyed. Fire is not an
uncommon visitor, but fire such as this
has seldom been seen. It was $3.50 and
the political head Quarters Of both Mr..
Fish and Mr. Malby were filed with.
politicians and newspaper men. State
Factory Inspector Connolly, who had
been in the lobby with number Of
people, started to come up the elevator.
He remarked
That He Smelled Smoke
and suggested an investigation. Be-
fore it could be begun there were cries
Of fire from different parts Of the house
simultaneously. The outburst Of
flames before an alarm could be given
70 arouse the inmates OF the rooms was
somewhat appalling. Up the elevator
shaft there shot solid column Of
hames. Up the staircase near this
shot another column. As the mass Of
white hot fame reached each Of the
i've floors it branched out into tongues
Of leaping destruction and it seemed as
though the whole interior of the struc.
ture
Was Settling Mass.
Fortunately the guest list was not very
large and the majority Of those regis
tered were politicians and were down
on the second floor, where Mr.. Fish
and Mr.. Malby had headquarters
There was rush for the stairs in the
front and the servants stairs in the
back, where the flames had not yet
reached, and in few minutes there
was tumbling mass Of humanity COM
ing down. Those on the two upper
floors could not avail themselves of the
stairs, for the flames were rushing
through corridors and people on the
street heard a crash Of glass and saw
figures come
Tumblins Out Of the Windows
Within 10 minutes after the first note
OF alarm at least IL persons were
dangling on the insufficient rope fire
escapes or hanging on to the window
stills. The department arrived quickly.

but it took some time to get ladders up
and in the meantime some Of the
people had dropped to the street. On
the right side of the building there APP
peared at a window man and a
woman. The man had holl of the
woman trying to persuade her to wait
for help, but she broke away and
sprang out. She struck balcony and
rebounded to the street. The man
waited for a ladder and was taken
down in safety. His name was n. A.

register company in Dayton, O. The
woman was his wife and she will
probably die.
Politicians Escape.
In ex-Speaker Malby's room, which
was in the rear of the elevator shaft,
where the fire first appeared, there was
the greatest excitement About 20
politicians were there, including Con-
gressmen Weaver and Curtis, Senator
Kilburn and Mr. Malby. A rush was
made for the stairs, and when the
party landed in the street the only in
jured man was found to be Assembly.
man Robbins, whose hair and face
was badly burned. In Mr.. Fish's
headquarters there was less hurry, be.
cause they were near the stairs. All
got down safely, but the majority left
their baggage. g. u
Although five stories high there were
no outside fire escapes, and the only
means left for the people in the cut off
rooms was the rope fire escapes. B. F.
Heilman Of Brooklyn was in the third
story. He had but two alternatives
A Fiery Death or . Jump.
He chose the latter and plunged
through the window. When he was
picked up from the sidewalk he was
found to be badly injured. He will die.
His wife, who was in the room with
him. tried the fire escape, but it either
broke Or else she failed to hold to it, for
che, too, came to the pavement heavily.
Her right leg was broken, her left
ankle dislocated and she was badly
burned about the face and head. Ed
ward Walsh, porter, was caught in
the hall. Before he could get out he
was very badly burned and had to be
taken to the hospital.

tor large quantity of arms which the
Spanish officials had been informed were

sacked from stem to stern, but no arms
were found. The Spanish officer went
so far as to demand that Captain Miller
remove from below all his anchor chains.
This the captain, refused to do, and the
officers were reluctantly forced to leave
the vessel. The United States consul
was on board at the time, but could do
nothing. Captain Miller will report the
