w. E. Russell Talks of the Proba-
bic Action of the Democratic
Convention at Chicago.

NEW YORK. June ga special to
the World from Boston says:
Former Governor William E. Russell
New Englands candidate for the pres
idency, said today:
With the earnest request of Mr.
Whitney and others, l am going to
Chicago with him to give whatever
help 1 can in the struggle in the Demo-
cratic party for sound money against
free silver My own views on the sub
ject are wei known and have been Of
ten stated. Believing the issue to be
of the greatest Importance, not only to
the country, but to the present and flu
remain inactive if it is thought l can
be of any service at Chicago.
Il cannot, however, go to Chicago
under the least suspicion that I am
there for any personal reasons, nor can
1 take part in this fight embarrassed
by any personal interest in the result.
I shall, therefore, decline to have my
name presented to the convention as
a candidate
Mr.. Russell was asked if he thought
free silver would win.
II sincerely hope it will not, for 1
earnestly believe it most disastrous to
the country and to our party. A Demo-
cratic national convention has always
been a deliberative body, open to ar
gument and reason. 1 think this con-
vention will be, and that whatever the
views of the delegates at present may
be, they will hesitate long before they
commit the party to the cause of free
silver. 1 believe in making the strong
est fight possible for sound money and
the gold standard and shall not give
up the fight until the votes are
counted"

SAN FRANCISCO. June 22-The
three-story building at the corner of
Fifth and Mint avenue in which the
Brighton house and the Pioneer Coffee
house were situated collapsed at 4:30
this afternoon, burying over twenty
persons in the ruins. Five bodies have
been recovered and seventeen of the
injured rescued. The dead:
Unknown woman.
Jesse May, laborer.
Three unkonwn laborers.
The injured:
E. L. Davis, leg broken and internal
injuries, will die.
E. Jewett, shoulder dislocated and
internal injuries.
Mrs. Pearl Woodward, badly bruised.
Stephen Heating.
Byron Bailey.
Underberger, internally hurt.

Mrs. Joseph Byrne.

A. Leuenberger, proprietor Of the
lodging house, badly hurt.
H. Shepard, badly hurt internally.
Richard Heating.
The building came down with an
awful crash and the structure was in
a moment a mass Of kindling wood.
There were large number of people
in the building at the time.
Two laborers, Michael Howard and
James DAILY, at work on the building
state that the accident was caused by
the fact that the jackscrews supporting
the building were much higher on the
north side than on the south.
In the front of the ruins, plainly
visible, lay man. Across his body
was large beam. He cried piteously
for help. After working half an hour
the rescuers released him and he was
taken to the receiving hospital.
The mass of the debris greatly re-
tareded the work of the rescuers To-
add to the horror, the debris caught
fire at the rear and a dense volume of
smoke blinded the rescuers. The en-
gines commenced to play stream on
the fire. This added a new horror as
the water threatened the lives of these
under the debris.

LEES ALLEGED VIEWS.
Barbnrities of the Spanish Soldiers
Something Awfal.


WASHINGTON, June 22.-The Post
tomorrow viii say:
"A very interesting letter was re-
ceived today by a relative from Cen
eral Lee. 1t was written on the 18th,
and deals pretty fully with Cuban af-
fairs. The Spanish authorities, the
general says, have treated him with
sfeat courtesy and Captain General
Weyler has granted every request thus
far preferred, even allowing him to
visit the prison where the captured
Americans are confined. The Spanish
troops, he says, are fairly we'll drilled,
but under a system of tactics and man
ual totally different from anything the
general had ever seen. AS to the in
surgents they practically had control
of the island. Their emissaries come in
and go out of the towns and cities as
they will, and he believes the native
population is in sympathy with them.
AS to the inhumanity of the Spanish
commander, General Lee expresses
himself in the plainest terms.
They do not regard the laws of mod
ern war nor the usages customary
among civilized nations at ALL He
says:
From every quarter there is the
same testimony concerning the barbar-
tiles of the Spanish soldiers. Some of
the evidence I have heard would be
beyond belief did I not know it to be
most reliable Violations of women,
the plundering of inoffensive citizens,
murder, every form of rapine, have
been inflicted on natives of the island.
and it takes very little indeed to place
you under suspicion,
General Lee doubts if peace could
be made now short of a basis Of abso-
lutte independence and freedom from
Spanish control"

CHICAGO, June 22.-The congrega-
ton at the Peoples church, McVicker' s

He said. The slaughter of Chris
tians in Armenia and the butchery of
patriot Cubans by Spain seems terrible
TO the present age because Of its no
bier humanity.
1T is not right that the Turks should
massacre the Armenians; the powers of
the world should step in and stop it
1t is not right that Spain should crush
patriots in Cuba, and this country
should send forth an army and, navy
to stop 1t. l wish that plank in the
Republican platform had gone forth

PROFOUND SENSATION.
1t Wa. Caused at Madrid Over the
Alleged Lee Letter.

1t Was Caused at Madrid Over the
Alleged Lee Letter.
NEW YORK, June pa dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
The profoundest sensation has been
caused here by the news of the alleged
purport of a report by United States
Consul General Lee to President CleVe-
land on the state of affairs in Cuba,
which report is said to be on the way
from Havana to Washington. The eff
feet of the intelligence is difficult to ex-
aggerate. All classes of the community
are greatly wrought up, but the COM
motion is especially great in parlfa-
mentary and political circles. The lob
bies ct the senate were extremely ami
mated just before Senator Comas be-
gam an energetic anti-American speech
on moving an amendment to the adj
dress in reply to the speech from the
throne asking the government to annul
ali treaties between Spain and the
United States.
The impression is general among poll
ticians and military men that the gov
eminent will be requested to withdraw
Consul General Lees exequateur If he
really has expressed opinions as unfa-
Vorable to Spanish rule in Cuba as re-
port credits him with having done
The minister of the colonies intro
duced in the cortes today bill author
ling the government to expend in the
war IN Cuba as much of the colonial
and imperial revenues as may be
necessary to secure success and also
authorizing it to negotiate unlimited
loans or credit
The Madrid press continues to Law
such stress upon the closer relations
likely to be established between Spain.
France and Russia when occasion
arises. The markedly friendly welcome
gwen TO the French fleet in the ports
of north Spain is hailed bv Snaniardrs
as happy omen.

BUFFALO, New York. June 22.-At
