CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, April 29.-The
Portland hotel. one of thelargest build

roof fell in soon after the fire broke
out and the fire jumped across the
street.
Another general confagration is
feared and the fire department has
begun blowing up adjacent buildings
with dynamite.
The entire block between Bennett
and Myers avenue and First and
Second streets is doomed, together
with most of the buildings between
Myers and Warren avenues. The re-
mainder of the buildings above Warren
not destroyed in Saturdays fire are
also threatened and the Masonic Tenn
pie building, the principle business
block in the camp, is in danger. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
At two o'clock 100 pounds of giant
powder we're exploded in blowing up
buildings, but high wind had arisen
and the efforts to check the flames met
with but little success.

Bold Attempt Made to Blow Up the Palace
of the Captain General.
HAVANA, April 28.-An explosion,
believed to be due to dynamite or some
other high explosive, occurred in the
palace of the governor-general at 11:3O
o'clock this morning while the news
paper men were waiting in the ante
room for the first batch of news of the
day. The defamation was sharp and
the building was partly filed with
dust, while the noise of breaking glass
and falling plaster could be heard on
all sides. It was first believed that
the steam boiler had exploded, but
when it was found to be intact it was
suspected that the destruction was
caused by dynamite. The real cause,
however, is not known. The greatest
excitement prevails as a result of this
explosion, which naturally is attributed
to the insurgents or their friends.

THAT HUNTINGTON JOB.
The Proposed Plan of Settling tbs Pacific
Railroad Debt.

Railroad Debt.
Senator Morgan uses plain language
in arraigning the Pacific railroad loot
ers and opposing the bill co ncocted by
the Huntington lobby to shoulder the
burdens of the plundered roads on the
government.
The senator asserts that the evidence
of fraud and peculation was not con-
cealed by Huntington's testimony, mis-
evasions of the truth we're plainly in
tended to mislead congress into turn
ing over to him the Central Pacific
railroad, after he and his associates
have been made enormously rich by
plundering it and the government. He
charges that his own fraudulent dealing
has driven the road into bankruptcy,
from which he pleads his pride impels
him to save it.
The bill proposes TO yield up the gov
eminent control of the roads and hand
them over to the men who have plumb
cree and thrown them into bankruptcy
for fraudulent purposes.
1t proposes to give these men more
plumber and rob the puople of millions
of dollars by providing for the govern
ment assumption Of the Indebtedness
of the roads at a rate of interest IL per
cent higher than the government will
receive from the roads.
In short, the proposition is to make
the looters secure in the possession of
the plumber they now have and to give
them fresh opportunity.
The measure is a prepOsterous and
stupendous piece Of jobbery. If Hunt
ington does not come down handsomely
for it another letter from him on con-
gFessional fools will be due after the
bill is passed.-St. Louis Republic.
