BRAZIL'S TROUBLES.

Congress Convened Yesterday and
Will Attempt to Regulate Them.
New York, May'6.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres, says:
Federal troops have succeeded in
quelling the riots in San Luis province
and the participants, mostly unemploy-
ed laborers, have been disarmed. No
further trouble Is expected there as the
government has taken steps to relieve
the situation. A correspondent in
Rio Janeiro, Brazil, says that a great
public meeting of Greek sympathizers
was held there and a large sum of
money was collected TO send to the
Greek government.
The daily fetes in honor of the Chill
en- navy, now at Rio Janeiro, continue
and great friendliness to Chill is being
shown on all sides.
The Brazilian Congress opened yes
terday. The president in his message
said that the army of Brazil must be
re-Organized at once in order to imme-
diately crush the rebellion of the ia
natics. He also called attention to the
decrease of the national revenue, owing
to the commercial crisis here and the
prevailing low prices of Brazilian pro-
ducts in foreign markets.

FORTUNATE AMERICANS.
All Escaped The Partisan
Horror.
SEVERAL HAD BEEN THERE BUT
HAD LEFT BEFORE THE
DISASTER.
Mrs. William AStOr Had Been Out
Of The Place Fifteen Minutes
And Other Americans We're
As Lucky-0ur Con-
sui Worked,

New York, May "a dispatch to the
Journal from Paris says:
There We're very few Americans pres
enr in the charity bazaar at the time
of the fire yesterday, and they seem
to have been especially favored by for
tune.
Mrs. William Aston left the bazaar
a quarter of an hour before the con-
Migration. Miss Fame, sister of Fred
erick Fame, an American residing in
the Rue PrOny, who is almost totally
deaf, was in the center, of the building
when the fire broke out. Her escape
was largely due to her infrmity. She
saw the fire without hearing the tu-
multi ensuing on the discovery and
made her way to the exit, being among
the first to reach it.
Baroness De Selliere, formerly Mrs.
Livermore, of New York, also reached
the door among the first.
Consul General Morse was passing
near the Rue Jena, riding on a bicycle,
when the cry of fire" was raised. He
left the machine in the street and de-
voted himself all night to assisting the
firemen.
Mr.. Whitney, of Boston, an old vol
unteer fireman, who is living in Paris
also assisted the firemen in the WORK
of rescue until daybreak.
When the Journal correspondent
reached the scene, Gen. Saussier, mill
tary governor of Paris, with, Gen, Feor-
Ter, was rushing about distracted and
calling for the premier to send "for my
men" from Quia D'Orsay barracks.
Look" he' said to Henry Blount,
this American journalist will have a
strange tale to tell of municipal negli-
gence, but let us help"
The catastrophe was a rOyalist hec-
atomb.
One mystery is now cleared up. The
victims were besmeared with flaming
tar and other inflammable compounds
dropping from the roof and this is why
there was no prelude of asphyxia.
The fair flower of French womanhood
was singed like poultry by the licking
flames and literally burned alive as we
sat by and wrung our hands in pow
erless despair.
Immagine a pile of grilled skeletons,
still smoking with no distinction of sex
discernible, teeth barred and grinning
jaws emitting that horrible smell which
carries back the memory to the Opera
Comique, in which the day at the Pa
lais de LIndustrie is not lessened by
the drench of picnic acid. Visitors to
the salon caught it as they went up the
stately affairs. In the comparatively
few instances of suffocation the fea-
lures were placid, those of Mile, Jacque
Monott being almost pleasant in her
sudden sleep of death.

RAILROADS ANXIOUS.

Kansas City, Mo-, May Though
the Missouri river is gradually falling
here, several railways whose tracks
run close to the Missouri, near the
mouth of the big Blue river, about two
miles below here, are much concerned
over the threatened loss of their road
beds. At that point the Missouri is
rapidly cutting it's banks and the
tracks of the Air Line" have already
been undermined, even after two hun
bred cars of limestone had been thrown
into the river to protect the banks. The
"Air Line" the Missouri Pacific and
the Santa Fe companies have combined
their forces in an attempt to stem the
current.

WANT TO USE NITRATE.

Valparaiso, Chilli, May 6.-The gov
eminent of Chilli has offered a premi-
UNI of $4,000 yearly to any person or
persons who may discover new use
for nitrate in large quantities. Chill
produces a great quantity of nitrate
and a market which will use more
than a comparatively small quantity
has never been found.
The fall military manouvres have
been postponed owing to the wretched
condition of the roads, caused by late
rains.

Crown Point, Ind, May 6.-Barney
Whitlock, the Tolleston game warden,
sentenced to six years in Jail Tues
day, has caused Sheriff Hayes no little
trouble. The county commissioners
recently passed an order compelling all
inmates of the Jail to work upon the

sheriff has worked hard trying to get
Whitlock to obey orders but he cannot
get him to stir. Whitlock says he

San Antonio, Texas Thursday. May 6, 1897.

win, named Corvet, said: "All I could
think of doing was to get a hammer
and rush to the burning building and
break down the sides for you know no
one could get out of the main entrance
or no one seemed to be able to get out.
Women went screaming into the
overcome by the heat, burning from
head to foot"
I'VE hammered away and smashed
down some of the sides of the shops
inside the building and saved the peo-
pie as best we could. They We're all
rich people. Some had their clothes
literally in flames. Others were burned
about the breast and neck, but the
greater number that 1 saw had their
hats in flames. We tore their hats off,
pulled their burning hair from their
heads and all the time they shrieked:
oh, Mon Dieu, Mon Dieu.'
II saw one young and beautiful girl
rush into the middle of the street. Her
hair and hat We're in flames. She fell,
stricken by the terrible heat. We could
hardly stand the heat ourselves"
Many curios theories have been ad-
vanced as to the Origin of the fire.
Some said the fire was caused by a
spark from a cinematograph machine.
Others said it was caused by the eX-
plosion of gas from a stove. Others
again said that a lamp which was
smoking burst and set fire to the place.
But what struck me was the unanimi-
ty of all as to the suddenness of the
confiagratiOn and the way in which
the flames spread.
In the eXtemporized morgue at the
Palais de PIndustrie there We're crowds
trying to identify remains of the VIC
Tins of the great fire. 1t was a diff
cult task.
A terrible looking body was brought
out to the door, SO as to have as much
light upon it as possible. The police
became suddenly more stringent than
ever and no one was allowed to enter
the building.
From mouth to mouth passed the
word: That is the Duchess D'Alen-
con-" But how to recognize such
charred mass, was the question. In
the face of such difficult problem
the relatives and friends of the be-
reaved family had recourse to the
family dentist. The latter remember
ed certain filings of the teeth and
could recognize his handiwork even
under such awful circumstances.
In a short time it was established
beyond a doubt that the remains were
those of the unfortunate Duchess and
very quickly a pine coffin was screwed
down and taken away.
A woman approached the door, sup
ported by two friends and preceded by
a venerable priest. She had come to
identify her daughter, but while the
work of identifying the remains of the
Duchess D'Alencon was going on she
fell in a fit of horrible Mysteries and
her cries were so terrible and her
movements so heartrending that a cab
had to be called She was taken away
apparently mad, between two police
men.
For obvious reasons disinfectants
were freely used inside the building
and the odor of carbolic acid was so
strong that holding ones handkerchief
to the face and plentiful use of strong
perfumes was insufficient to remove
the penetrating fumes.

spoken article on the Cuban question in
a Spanish journal, El Pals, of Madrid,
has aroused considerable agitation and
the police are attempting to destroy all
copies of the issue. The paper plainly
confesses the Spanish defeat in Cuba
and believes that the home government
should pay the penalty. The article is
