took a superficial view of the ruins and
are today making more minute inspeo-

While Superintendent Constable was
addressing the experts q lawyer named
Stevens, who Is counsel for Joseph Guider,
hhe plaster contractor, who Is now on bail
rharged with criminal negligence, asked
khe superintendent whether 1t would not
bo well to make close inspection of tho
collapsed building. The superintendent
Baid this would be done In due time.
SIS 1t an absolute fact" then asked Mr..
Btevens that the roof had sagged twelve
Inches some three weeks agof"
II don't care to discuss that at the pres
bnt time" said the superintendent, "but
photographs Of the roof. together with
measurements and calculations, will GER
bainly be taken and the question will be
thoroughly considered"
Lawyer Stevens said to a reporter that
his defonse for Guider would be that the
ooncrete base which supported the centre
eoluinn was insufficient to support the
weight that rested upon ID.
"That base" said he, twas nine feet
square, and but one foot deep, while all
Experts know that the depth Of u concrete

third of its length. My theory of the ac-

rrete sank, and that the concrete was
broken into four triangular piece before

portant stronRhoids at Any TIme-Tho
spaniards Have Lost Heavily.
NEW York, Aug. 13.-The steamer Sem
sca Of tho ward line, which arrived here
from Cuba yesterday, brought several
Cuban passengers. One gentleman from
Havana who would not permit the use Of
his name, asserted that the insurrection Is
more formidable than 10 generally be-
lieved. Tho rebels, he said, desire to
establish government under the protec-
tion of strong power, preferably tho
United States They are not anxious for
absolute Independence because negroes
form majority of the Inhabitants Of the
island, and would dominate tho govern
ment.
Therefore tho rebels are delaying the
capture OF important seaport towns, which
the gentleman from Havana says they
could easily accomplish, because their
plans for the future are not yet matured.
10 secure possession of cities would mean
recognition az belligercnts to the rebels,
and as they are not yet ready for such
recognition they will continue their pres
ent methods Of making war for time
The Havana man asserts that there are
5000 sympathizers with the revolution in
Havana; that 30 900 rcvolutionists are in
the field, and that tho Spanish have lost
1900 men, more than two thirds Of the
number dying from disease. Campos, he
says, cannot hold out long.
Another passenger on the steamer was
Senior Ricardo Cabrera, n wealthy sugar
planter of Cienfuegos He declined to dis

mitted, however, that ho had heard that
yellow fever was decimating the Spanish
forces and that the insurgents wero not
