FORTY OR MORE KILLED.
The Detroit Journal Building
is Wrecked by an
Explosion.

DETROIT. Especial. - At an early
hour in the morning the boilers in the
Journal building exploded with terrific
force. A section Of the building forty
feet wide collapsed, burying scores Of
people in the ruins.
The work OF rescue was at once be-
gun and four dead and several injured
we're quickly taken out. Many girls
and women were employed in the
building.
The editorial department are all re-
ported saved. Probably 100 or more
persons were in the wrecked depart
ment.
The ruins took fire and the cloud
of smoke seriously impeded the work
of rescue. It is positively known that
at the time OF the collapse the stereO-
typers on the fifth floor went down in
the wreck.
On the third story was the Habbin
electrotype foundry in which were
half dozen men and in the top story
the Journal stereotyping department
with four or five men. AS near as can
be learned there were twenty five to
thirty at work in the building, exclu-
sive of those who may have been on
the street. Three men and one woman
were taken out helpless within three
minutes. The cries of others were
heard in the ruins.
On the second floor was Killers
hood bindery with two men and about
twenty women. All these were pre-
<sirifof od into hn
Some thirty tenants and employees
there can be no doubt most of these
are lying dead under the debris.
The editorial rooms Of the Journal
are on the fourth floor, but situated
beyond the fire wall, and the staff
escaped injury. The Journal stereo-
tipping room on the fifth floor was
directly in the path of the explosion,
and went down in the wreck,
A few had miraculous escapes and
came staggering from the ruins after
the awful shock, scacre knowing what
had befallen them. NJ. Jacobs, paper
dealer, who had been in Killers bind
cry, just left the building when the
crash came. He thought there must
have been twenty girls and four or
five boys in the bindery, besides George
j. Hitler, proprietor, Of whom nothing
has been seen or heard since the acct
dent.
From the lists of tenants and en-
ployes secured it seems certain fifty
people in all were in the collapsed
section. There are still twenty seven
persons unaccounted for, and it is
more than fair to presume that most
of them are among the dead.

The number of killed must not be

STARVING.
Spanish Soldiers in Cuba Are
Dying Of Hunger and
Fever.

New YoRK-A special from Key
West, Fla, says that the Sprnish
army in Cuba is in a badly demoralized
condition, according to letter receiv-
ed here from Cuba. This demoraliza-
ton is due to insufficiency of food and
clothing and lack of pay. The soldiers,
the letter says, are starving, in rags
and barefooted and many have not
been paid since the revolution began.
The mortality among the troops is
frightful. In some regiments SO per
cent. have died of.syellow fever. The
Madrid government seems to be utterly
heartless about the troops. Some
time ago the.soldiers sent u petition
to Madrid asking that the families of
those dying Of yellow fever be granted
the same pensions as those killed in
battle. This petition was approved by
Campos but the Madrid government
refused to grant it. The soldiers have
been madened by these things, and
mutiny is threatened. 1t is reported
in Havana that Campos has cabled
Madrid that unless the soldiers are,
treated better Spain will soon have no
army in Cuba. The soldiers and Of
ticers are SO desperate that suicides
are occurring daily. Last week near
4semedios lieutenant, who was suf-
fering from Inconsistencies, lost his rea-
son and ran amuck. He shot four.
privates dead and then put bullet
through his own heart.
In Mantanzas Capt. Bajonietto, of
the Maria Cristina regiment, blew out
his brains. Bajonietto's wife was q.
Cuban and she urged her husband to
desert and join the insurgents, he re-
fused and his wife upbraided him SO
bitterly for fighting against her coun-
trymen that he committed suicide.
The Cuban officers in the Spanish
army, of whom there are many. are
making trouble. They have applied
for transfers to the PHILIPPINE islands
or other Spanish possessions. While
they do not wish to desert, they say
they will not fight against their breth-
rem who are trying to free Cuba. This
disaffection of the Cuban officers has
rendered useless several batallions.
Spanish inhabitants in the country
districts are leaving Cuba by humid
reds. Las Villars district has been
almost depopulated. The ss::Spanish
plan tiers say the island is lost to Spain
and that they are getting out while
they can. Every steamer leaving
Hav ana for Europe is crowded with
the refugees.

Armenian Trouble Affects Stocks and Fall
urss are Frequent.
VARNA, Bulgaria Especial ]-Advices
from Constantinople say that three
Mussulmen have been arrested there
and several houses searched, in which
. quantity Of arms were found and
seized. It is stated that a plot against
the Sultan's palace has been discover
ed. The Albanian guards at Yidliz
Kiosk refused to perform their duties
on Monday night, and it is supposed
that they had been won over by the
Mussulman companies. The rebel
guards were disarmed, and eight of
them were sent to Antaloa, where they
were inferred. The advices say that
discomfort with the present regim has
become SO marked that events of
startling Importance may be expected
at any time. A fusion of the Mussul-
mans and Armenians' committees
against the Sultan is beloved to be
emminent, and 1t is expected that
joint manifesto will be issued declaring
their united efforts will henceforth
be directed against the existing sys-
tenn Of government In Constantinople.
The financial situation in CONSTANT
nople is causing great uneasiness, and
an important fall in Turkish securi-
ties, together with excessive specula-
ton especially in mines contributing
greatly to this state Of affairs. There
have already been several cases of
enforced closing on the Gallaet bourse
and few minor failures.

The Worst Condition Of Affairs Ever

CoNsTANTINoPLE.- Especial. EInde-
p endent reports received from Ar
menia do not confirm the official state
ment that the Armenians provoked
the different disturbances which have
taken place there. At Erzeroum alone
the bodies of $40 Armenians were
found, and the corpses of six Turks
we're among them. Fresh disturbances
are reported to have broken ont at
Adana, capital Of the vilayet of that
name.
The report that the ambassadors of
the powers, owing to recurring DIS
turbances in various parts Of the
Turkish empire, went to the porte
and urged that immediate measures
for restoration of order be taken. is
confirmed in official circles. The
ambassadors were assured that order
will be restored; but the assurances
are OF that nature SO repeatedly given
that little faith is placed in them, and
it will require definite statements and
proofs OF willingness of the Turkish
government to maintain order to
satisfy the ambassadors. 1t is evident
that the powers, however much they
may desire from political motives not
to interfere actively in the admins
tration of Armenia, will sooner or
later be compelled to restore order by
display of force, as the Turkish
government seems utterly unable or
unwilling to put an end to the state Of
anarchy existing in Armenia, which
threatens to bring about a more grave
state of affairs.
