Havana, via Key West, May 22-The in
vestigation by Commissioner Calhoun in
to the matter of the death of DR.. Ruiz is
not proceeding rapidly. On Thursday
DR.. Congosto, the Spanish consul at Phil
adelphia, asserted that DR.. Ruiz did not
explain that he was an American citizen
and therefore was kept incommunicadc

ing this, promptly and emphatically
stated that on February 6, he sent official
notice to the Marquis De Ahumada, act.

Bulgaria had LONG conference today
with M. Hanotaux, the minister of

semi officially that Edhem Pasha, COM

But Seriously Inju, ed-Two Otheir
Persons Badly Burned.
| New York. May 23.-Two persons were
killed and three seriously injured in fire
which started shortly after O'Clock this
morning III the four story and basement
brown stone building, No. 149 West 80 rd
| street. Several persons narrowly escaped
death. The dead are:
MRS. CATHERINE MOSSWAY. 80
years of age.
BEATRICE MOSSWAY, d years,
daughter of the former.
| The injured are:
MRS. MARY c., or CARRIE BOWLES.
boarding house keeper, Boston, Mass.
dangerously hurt by jumping from d
window on the third floor.
| MISS MACDONALD, slightly burned.
| f. S. PHELPS, slightly burned.
The building was occupied both for
business and dwelling purposes. In the
basement is an all night eating house Ia
Before the firemen reached the scene the
entire building was filled with flames
within. The Railways from the first floor
to the roof were in flames, and escape by
the front door was cut off. Panic seized
almost everybody and it is considered for
tunate that any one was saved.
| While tenant named Lamont was
| crawling along the narrow sill to reach
| the adjoining house, the body of a woman
struck large sign which hung on the
outside of the building, and to which he
clung for support. The sign was torn
| from its fastenings and fell with a crash
to the street. The woman was Mrs.
| Bowles, who roomed on the third floor.
| She had precipitated herself to the street
| below when she found that egress from
| the house by way of the stair was checked
| by the flames She was taken to the
hospital. Lamont did not fall to the
street. Several other tenants had escaped
| in the same way.
On the top floor the widest sort of
panic had seized the tenants, among
whom were Mrs. Mossway and her
daughter. Most of the tenants had
escaped to the roof, through the flames,
| including Miss Macdonald and Mr..
|
burned. The statement is made that one
of the male tenants had seized Miss Mac
Donald as she was ascending the ladder to
| the roof and pulled her back. 1t is not
known who he was.
Mrs. Mossway, who lost her life, was
| sleeping with her little daughter w hen
she was aroused by the smoke. She ran
| into the hall and gave the alarm and then
went back after her daughter. When she
started to return the smoke and flames
drove her back to her room.
| When the fremen searched the house
they found the little girl dead in bed and
| the mother lying on the floor, blistered
| by the heat and almost dead from su flo
cation. She was removed to ST. Vincent's
hospital where she died three hours later.
The origin of the fire is not known, but
| it is believed that belated tenant lighted
match in the hallway to see his way
and carelessly tossed the still burning
match away. The damage was about
$1,000.

| Augusta, May 23-Edish Nash, Lewis
Moore and Joseph Wight, all young and
popular men of this city, started this
forenoon to row to their camp about five
miles up the Kennebec. They were
passed between twelve and one by Justin
Coret and his two sons, also bound up the
river. On Coret's return about two
o'clock, he found the boat overturned and
drifting, but no trace of the boys. Tow
| ing the boat to shore he found the boys
luncheon Word was brought to this city
and searching parties went up the river,
but found nothing but Nash's cap and an
oar floating in the water near the shore.
The young men were of exemplary
habits and the cause of the disaster will
probably always remain mystery. All
of them were members of Trinity Com
mandery of this city. Nash was the son
of Captain Charles E. Nash, the pub
| Usher. Wight was the son of A. M.
Wight, prominent jeweller Moore was
the only child of Mrs. Moore of Steuben,
Maine, widow and was employed at the
Gannet and, Morse concern. Search for
the bodies will be resumed at daybreak.
Inquiry revealed the fact that they had
started at about nine O'Clock in the morn
ing fora camp at Five Mile island to
spend the day and took their dinner with
them. The dinner box in the boat was
identified as belonging to Mr.. Moore, and
the pipe case and tobacco pouch to Mr..
Wight.
| A visit to the boat house at the dam re-
suited in finding Mr.. Nash's bicycle
| locked in the boat house. Officer Grover
| and DIR. A. G. Titcomb then took a boat
belonging to the latter and rowed to the
| island, but their search was fruitless, ex-
cept that they found the boat fastened
where Mr.. Coret had left it.
| Captain Charles E. Nash, father of
Edwin, was down river but arrived home
at about eight O'Clock and on being told
of the accident immediately drove up the
river road and made a thorough search of
the shore. Here was found an oar and
also cap, which captain Nash recognized
as belonging to his son and was con-
| vinced that the boys were lost.
The only theory seems to be that the
boat must have been swamped by the
rough water and overturned. A river
man living near the place where the boat
was found, said, last night that he had
been on the river for twenty-five years
and in all his experience had never seen
such waves running as were kicked up by
| the wind of Sunday. Mr.. Moore could
not swim and it is said that Mr.. Nash
could not.
| Edwin L. Nash was about twenty. seven
years of age and the son of Hon, and Mrs.
Charles S. Nash. He was printer by
trade and was employed in his father
publishing house.
Lewis Brown Moore was a native of
Steuben, this state, and for five years past
has been corresponding clerk of the Oxien
department of the Gannett and Morse
concern. He was young man of excel
| lent character and a general favorite. He
was about twenty six years of age and is
survived by a widowed mother.
Joseph M. Wight was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Amos Wight and lived with his
parents on School street. His age was
about 25 years. He was employed in h is
| fathers jewelry store. Each of the young
men were highly respected and universal

see the now noted prisoner, ALBERT M.
King. Women were among the crowd to
the number of several dozen, and of all
the visitors, perhaps two hundred got in
to see the young man. just before the
1nal lookup of prisoners at O'Clock to-
night the Associated Press representative
had another interview with King. By
this time he had read the Sunday papers
to considerable extent and his own case
had been repeatedly gone over. To some
of the statements made about him he said
exceptions were made, but of these he
would say nothing until he had thought
them over. One thing about the prisoners
confinement is his evident liking for the
interest everybody takes in him and to-
night, after days rest he was feeling
quite cheerful. He had received so much
sympathy from callers that his feeling of
uncertainty of the future seems to have
disappeared and his spirits in this line are
quite buoyant. The absence of news from
home has been commented on by King.
Local interest in Kings arrest is now
turning to the matter of reward for
Deputy Sheriff Dyer, for while none has
been offered to the knowledge of any one
in this town, it is thought probable that
1t will be of substantial size. When the
deputy sheriff manacled King to take him
out to photographer today, he was
severely criticized by many of the specta-
tors 1t happens that the experience of
Dyer with prisoners in Pennington jail
has been unfortunate, and he has taken
ne risks with this prisoner.
1t is expected that Boston officer will
be here tomorrow to take King home, as
1t is understood that requisition papers
will be unnecessary,

The police at HEADQUARTERS could not
