FERDINAND WAS ACCUSED
Charged by a Sofia Paper With
melting the Attack on
StambulOff.
A Representative of the Prince Re-
fused an Audience by the Ex-
Premier's Wife.

BULGARIA, SOFIA, July 1.-THE condi-
ton OF ex-Premier Stambuloff was slightly
improved this morning. He is perfectly
conscious and is able to personally thank
M. Petkoff for his efforts in his defense
when attacked by his assailants.
Stambuloff was able to identify the per-
sons who attacked him, and has given
their names to the authorities. Count
Goluchowski, Prime Minister of Austria,
has telegraphed from Vienna to Nine.
Stambuloff a message of sympathy, and all
the foreign Consuls in Sofia have commu-
nicated similar expressions. The most
serious of the wounded mans symptoms
arise from the great loss of blood and the
possibility that meningitis may supervene.
Stambuloff's coachman has been arrested
on suspicion of connection with the assas-
sins who attacked the ex-Premier. The sus-
picion is strengthened by his readiness to
stop the carriage when ordered to by his
masters assallants.
A representative of Prince Ferdinand
called at the residence of NJ. Stambuloff to-
day to express the soyerelgn's sympathy
and coincidence, but Nine. Stambuloff re-
fused to receive him or hold any commu-
nication with him.
None of the Ministers has called to in
quire as to M. Stambuloff's condition.
The Svoboda, NJ. Stambuloff's organ, OF
which NJ. Petkoff is editor, bluntly accuses
Prince Ferdinand and the Government OF
bringing about the crime. The condition
of the wounded man is now much worse.

STRUCTURES COLLAPSED.
Nearly a Score of Men Were
Buried in the Tangled
Ruins.
SEVERAL CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Heroic Work Done by Rescuers In
Cincinnati During the Intense
Heat.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, July 17.-At l AS
O'Clock this afternoon fire broke out in the
four-story building on Water street Just
east of the suspension bridge, occupied by
Hermesch 81 Co., and spread so
rapidly that Bookkeeper Simpson had to
Jump from the second story.
The fire spread to the fve-story tobacco
warehouse of Seaman e. Co, at %
and % Front street, Smiths tive-story
warehouse, q Front street, and Klein &
Quirk's four-story commission-house, 19
Walnut street. So fierce did the fire burn
that the firemen despaired of saving Nell
son Morris warehouse, but they finally
succeeded in doing it.
The heat was intense and several fremen
were prostrated. The suspension bridge
was endangered. but prompt work saved
it. An hour after the fire started the
Hermesch walls began to fall and were
quickly followed by those of other build
ings until only the Klein & Quirk build
ing was intact. Several companies were
sent to the rear of this structure to play on
the debris and adjacent property.
There had been rumors of the dangerous
condition of this building, and they were
speedily verified. The smoke and steam
obSeured from view the remaining walls
from the firemen working beneath them,
and they did not see them rock and sway
a full minute before they came crashing
down. Many spectators saw the danger,
but not in time to warn the iremen.
The walls buried almost a score of fire
men. AS soon as possible every man
rushed to the spot, the fire was forgotten,
and superhuman efforts were made to re-
move the debris.

and was killed in collision, were taken

husband, William K. Vanderbilt, Is about
to become engaged to the young Duke oI
Marlborough. Both the parties in this
contemplated union between blue blood
and hard cash are young, very young, but
they move in the fashionable set OF theil
respective countries.
The present Duke of Marlborough i.
mainly celebrated for his American step
mother, Lady. Beresford, formerly Mrs,
Hammersley, formerly Miss Lily Price ol
Troy. Mrs. HammersIey is distinguished
for numerous reasons among them that
she married the Dukes father in 1887 in
the City Hall, Mayor Hewitt officiating
and afterward honoring the blushing bride
by kissing her aristocratic lips. Then, too
she restored the ancestral halls of the
Marlboroughs by expending $500, 900 of the
money left by her previous husband, Mr.
Hammersley.

met Miss Vanderbilt. Anybody could fall
in love with girl worth two or three times
as much as the late Miss Anna Gould, SC

Miss Vanderbilt is II years old, and
while not transcendently beautiful, is We,
pleasing and has winning manners. She
made her social debut last winter at the
horse show aud attracted much attention
by the simplicity OF her costumes and the
democracy of her ways. She is said to be
rather domestic in her tastes. Of late she
has contracted the bicycle habit, but this
will no doubt be overlooked by the Duke
in view of the fact that marriage with hel
will enable him to make further repairs to
his ancestral halls.
Just how Mr. Vanderbilt looks upon the
rumored union is not known, but 1t is Ger.
tain that he is very fond of his children
and that he will not permit his daughter
to contract an unsuitable match. Mrs
Vanderbilt refuses to discuss the rumored
engagement, and Vanderbilt ut all time.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July IA
serious encounter has taken place between
a body of insurgents and Government
force in the country between Manzanillo
and Bayamo. The rebels were victorious,
and it is said the Government loss was
heavy. Among the killed was General
Santocildes, the Spanish commander.
Details of the engagement are suppressed
by the Government.
KEY WEST, FLA, July 1.-THE revo-
luton in the Santiago de Cuba district is
increasing every day. Within the last
three days more than hundred men from
the common classes have left this city to
join the insurgents, and of the elite, a
number of the most distinguished men
have also gone.
Among the latter are the following: Dr.
Joaquin Castillo Duany, graduate of the
Pennsylvania University, and who served
in the American navy (he WAS the ply
sician appointed in 1881 to go on board the
Rodgers on the relief expedition sent out
by the United States to the north pole in
search of the Jeannette); Pedro Aguilera, o
civil engineer, who graduated at Troy, and
who was superintendent of the Spanish
American Mining Company. His brother,
Eugenio Aguiiera, is chief engineer of the
Jurugua Iron Company here. The two
last named are sons of Francisco Aguilera,
a rich Cuban gentleman who was Vice.
President OF the Cuban republic during the
ten years war, and who died in New York
during the latter part of that war. DR..
Felipe Feranes, a rich and prominent
physician of this city, has also gone.

BOSTON, MASS, July 1.-THE American
Board of Foreign Missions has received the
following letter from Rev. William D..
Ament of Peking ON the effect OF the war
between Japan and China:
"As to China, people may talk OF great
internal reform and general renovation
of the Government, but there is no evil
dence of any change at present. Personally,
l expect no reforms, except under COM
pulsion. Things will go on as they have
development from within. No sledge-
hammer blows from without will break
the hold OF this empire on the past; but
the little plant, truth, working from within,
will do this some day. There is faithful
body OF people who are working and pray
ing for this end.
''lf there is any growth in China, l am
afraid 1t will be more in the line OF mill
tary enlargement and desire to get even
with Japan. The war has utterly failed to
arouse the nation-in fact, the nation, as 9
nation, knows nothing about the war, ana
no lessons can be taught the officials be
fore the people are instructed. The growth
must be from the lower strata upward, as
it has been in all lands. Hence, | look for
patient continuance in the usual lines OF
work, being assured that our first duty Is
to sow the gospel broadcast and let the
truth do its work-perfect work. Our
great need now is a body of trained native
Christians who are alive TO the situation.

RACES At SARATOGA.
Canadians Won Most of the Ecents {,
the Regatta.

the Regatta.
SARATOGA, N. Y, July I7.-Perfect
weather, well-nigh perfect course and
close contests in the several events made
the first racing day of the National Asso-
citation of Amateur Oarsmen success.
One race IN particular will be long remem-
bered. Itwas the intermediate eight-oared
shell race, and for the last half mile the
prows of the two boats cut the water on
even terms, Then, with spectators cheer
ing, steamers whistles shrieking, cox
wains yelling and every man of the sixteen
pulling for all that was in him, the stem OF
tae Wachusetts boat crept inch by inch to
the front and crossed the line two feet in
advance of that of the Melrose crew. The
men from Worcester, Mass, were so de-
lighted with their victory that they re-
mained at the finish line a quarter OF an
delphlans, who had pushed them SO hard,
and themselves before padding to their
boathouse.
In the other events Canada carried off
nearly all of the honors. The day opened
with still water and cloudy sky. About
noon the sun came out and a light breeze
sprung up from the south. 1t blew de-
cidedly in line with the course and was
never strong enough to more than ruff1e

from the flag buoys at the north end OF
the lake, opposite Thomas Lake house,
straight south three-quarters of mile to
the flag buoys and return, finishing at the
starting line. All except the eight rowed
this course and the men had the wind on
their backs going and in their faces on the
stretch. The eight-oared race was started
down the lake and rowed one and a half
miles straightaway, finishing where the
others did. The course was well marked out
and only three small launches followed the
crews. In one lauuch were the umpire
and the members of the regatta com
mittee.
There were barely 200 spectators present,
and they were lost in ample space fur
nished by the bluffs and lawns of the lake
house, from which the start and finish
were seen to excellent advantage.
The flrst event was started promptly at
O'Clock. 1t was the first of the senior
singles. Ruhmore finished several lengths
ahead. In the second heat of the senior
singles, John L. Hackett defeated White
head, Mckay and Cresser by three lengths.

ate Plans.
NEW YORK, N. Y, July 1s.--It now
looks as though the sportsmen of Dallas,
Tex, are sincere in their desire to make
the Corbett Fitzsimmons battle q so.
Plans for the arena, which is to be built
for the occasion, are already completed
and will be shown tomorrow. The draw
ing of the interior represents huge am
phitheater, with accommodations for 81,
862 people, distributed as follows: Unre-
served seats, 80, ,069; reserved seats, 1858
seats in boxes, 1905; seats for press, 652.
The diagram represents an arena claimed
to be larger than any mentioned in ancient
or modern history since the days of Titus,
AID. 172. The reserved seats are all
marked out distinctly and numbered.
AS early as last week tickets were in de-
mand at Dallas, SO much 30 in fact that a
book of orders for fifty box seats was
cleverly abstracted from Secretary W. K.
Wheelock's desk. The thief's enterprise
is doomed to disappointment, however. as
the orders are worthless and the numbers
will be replaced.
