ton expect that the Liberal cabinet un-
der the leadership Of the veteran Sagasta
will be erected on the ruins Of the
Azcarraga cabinet.
If this should be the case, the future
is held to be full of promise for Cuba, for
1t Is recalled that the Liberals have not
hesitated to express their opposition to
the great expenditure of human life and
vast treasure in the effort to carry out
the repressive conservative program for
the conduct Of the war. 1t is not be-
lieved that the liberals are prepared to
go to the length Of promising Cuba free
dom, but from the expressions Of the
leaders Of the party it is hoped that
they are willing to grant so liberal a
measure Of home rule and autonomy to
the island that of Spanish sovereignty
nothing would remain. save a shred in
the way Of few nominal duties and the
power Of appointing some officials cor
responding to the governor-general Of
Canada, named by the British crown.
An incident to the selection of liberal
cabinet, 1t is said, would be the restora-
tion of Martinez Campos to a position
where he would be in position to carry
out the program Of the reformed govern
ment in its Cuban policy.
The conservatives have a majority of
the cortes at this time, 80 that the for
nation Of a Sagata cabinet would neces-
state dissolution Of the cortes and an
appeal to the country. There Is said to
be little doubt that this would result in
the return of heavy Liberal majority
owing to the strong feeling said to exist
throughout the country against the
ministry which has just
laid down its commission.

LOSS ONE MILLION
Powder House Burned at the National
Capitol

Capitol
WASHINGTON, Sept. &.-Fire broke
out in the central power station of the
Capital Traction company few min
utes before II o'clock tonight and in two
hours the huge six-story building was re-
duced to a few crumbling walls The
building occupied the entire block from
Pennsylvania avenue to C street and
from Thirteen and One-half street to
Fourteenth street. The blaze started
on the southwest corner and swept like
the wind through the enormous build
ing. The heat was so intense that the
flremen were driven from the adjoining
streets. The entire fire department was
on the scene, but so free was the con-
flagration that their efforts were una
vailing. The power house was built about
four years ago. 1t was six stories in
height and besides containing the power
plant Of the Pennsylvania avenue line of
the company, was occupied by dozens of
offices. The walls began to fall by ~
o'clock, and with the decreasing heat the
firemen were enabled to get to work or
adjoining property. Several houses
however, were gutted. The loss will bs
about $500,0 on the building and about
$500 900 on machinery and stored cars,
while the loss sustained by the tenants
will amount to $200000 moSe, making the
total loss 81, 100000. The loss on the ad-
Joining buildings Is not large, as they
were old and dilapidated.

SWEPT BY FIRE
An Ohio City Loses It's Waterfront
Buildings

IRONTON, O., Sept. 29.-The river
front of this city was swept by fire to-
day. The fire burned over an area of
three squares in length and extending
back two squares from the river The
total loss is estimated at fully 100000
with hardly half that amount Of insur
ance. The flames broke out at o'clock
tonight in the sawmill Of Newman s.
Spencer, spread to their lumber yards
and soon wiped out these, with the mills
and lumber yards of the Pennsylvania
Mill and Lumber company. For time
the whole city was threatened but by
1890 tonight, after fire brigades had ar
rived from Ashland and Catlettsburg
KY, the flames were under control Fully
twenty families were rendered homeless
by the fire. Newman & Spencer's loss
is about $4,000, and the Pennsylvania
Lumber company's loss Is estimated at
$4,000. The pumping station of the city
water works was barely saved by pull
ing down the adjoining coal bins and the
city water works building, this being
accomplished by Norfolk and Western
locomotive crew, using a block and
tackle.

LATEST NEWS FROM YUKON
THE RIVER MAY BE OPEN TWO
WEEKS MORE
Tug Holyoke Arrives without tho
Schooner W. J. Bryant-FeaSo
for Her Fate
Press Special wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
PORT TOWNSEND. Wash, Sept. 70
The tug Holyoke arrived tonight from
st. Michaels. having left there on Sept.
11th, with the schooner w. ]. Bryant In
tow. On the 21st Of the month. while on
Kodiak Island, heavy storm prevailed
and the tug was forced to heave to for
a period Of twenty-eight hours.
During the storm the hawser which
connected the Schooner to the tug parted
and the schooner went adrift. nor could
those on the tug afterwards see her.
While 1t is not thought the Bryant hap
been lost, grave fears for her safety are
entertained.
She carried a crew Of seven men and
two passengers, the latter being En-
gineer Turner and wife Of the steamer
Eliza Anderson. The reason given for
the probable safety Of the Bryant is that
she was known as one Of the best sea
boats OF her tonnage in the northern
waters. She IL fifty-ave tons nfeasure-
ment and for many years was used a.
a pilot boat of Cape Flattery at the
Columbia river bar.
Capt. Clings Of the Holyoke says the
Bryant may be expected to sail upsths
straits at any time.
Captain Tom Powers Of the Eliza An
derson returned from Dutch Harbor on
the Holyoke. He Indignantly denies the
report that the Eliza Anderson will leave
her bones where she now lies, but says
the old craft will be on the sound and
Alaska run next season and that scar
city of fuel is all that prevented him
bringing her back to the sound now. He
says the Anderson never leaked enough
water to drown a rat, and that all the
passengers who went on her will verify
his story.
The Holyoke's crew say the report that
there are twenty tons of gold at st.
Michaels awaiting shipment to the
sound on the steamer Portland II un-
true; that unless the gold arrives from
Dawson after the tug sailed very little
will be brought down before the river
opens in the spring and the boats get
down, about June.
Travel from st. Michaels up the.Yukon
was still going on when the Holyoke left,
but the river was not expected to re-
main open longer than between the LIST
and 10th Of October. People at st.
Michaels are well provided with the
necessaries of life for winter, and many
of them are engaged in building boats,
which will be operated on the river next
season.

A Hundred Thousand Pounds Of Ex-
plosive Removes the Powder
Works Near Santa Cruz

SANTA CRUZ, Sept 29.-At o'clock
this morning disastrous explosion oc-
Cured at the works of the California
Powder Company near here, which re :
suited in the total destruction of eight
mills, including the coming, mixing,
packing and glazing house, and much
valuable machinery and entailed a loss
Of about s25o,OoO.
Fortunately none Of the employees were
on the premises and consequently there
was no loss of life. No reason is known
for the explosion, which is believed to be
due to spontaneous combustion.
LATER-The loss at the powder works
by the explosion Is not as great as was
at first reported, although while the
fire was burning it looked as though the
loss would be heavy. 1t is now estimated
the loss will not exceed $4,000 The
amount Of powder exploded was 1000
kegs. or 100000 pounds.
There is not vestige Of the coming
mills left. The ground where they stood
IL furrowed six feet deep. A grove of
trees, some three feet thick, was blown
up. Many other trees were burned w.
c. Peyton, who took charge of affairs
as soon as possible, prevented the fire
from spreading to the other buildings,
which contained powder, by almost
superhuman efforts.
Much Of the machinery can be re-
paired. Some of 1t was obsolete, having
been replaced in other buildings with
more modern machinery, so that the
manufacture of powder can be resumed
In few days All of the windows in the
residences Of Col. B. Peyton and. w. C.
Peyton, which stand on high hill,
were broken. The latter had narrow
escape from being cut by falling pieces
Of plate glass. The explosion was dis
tinctly heard in Monterey and Pacific
Grove. H. E. Warner and Ira Ken
nedy had narrow escapes. Warner was
on tramway leading to the mills when
he saw great flash and then heard the
report. AS. he started around, he fell.
As he arose the second report came and
he fell again. Wood and pieces of iron
were falling all around him. A billet of
wood struck him in the back. He stag
gefed to flume and fell into it, remain
ing until all danger was past.
