fit there, and have written home to that effect. I came back to help an old man through. 1 do not know, of course, how long I was in the snow when I lost consciousness, but it was three hours and forty-five minutes af- ter the slide that I was taken out. It was several hours after that when l regained consciousness
 MT. Brock was still in bed at the Woodlawn when interviewed, and in the course of his story frequent ly broke down, especially when refer ring to the thought that those he loved would not have known what had be- come of him.
 J. A. Rines, an old man of 63 years, was buried for half-hour, and was taken out before he lost consciousness He had hold of the rope at about the middle. He could not see we'll in the storm, but he heard subdued roar and felt the rush of the snow. He car ried staff and planted himself firmly upon 1t when he felt the slide. Out of of the whirl of the storm and the rush of the avalanche there came suddenly rest and complete silence, with a pres sure on every side that fixed him mo- tionless. He realized what had taken place and could see dim light from above, so he felt he was not buried
 
 the snow away from his face so that he had slight breathing space. He called continually but could not be heard, although he could dimly hear the voices of the rescuing party. Pres ently came the shovels above him, striking and cutting his coat, but he was saved.
 F. B. Holbroook of tent No. 99, who took such an active part in organizing the party with the rope, as well as in rescuing the submerged, was about the twentieth man from the rear end of the line He had been opposed to mak- ing this run and was protesting against it, he said, when he saw the slide com ing. He was caught only to his waist, immediately struggled out and began to work for the rescue of others He described how he saw the long line ahead of him drop out of sight quickly and silently like a handful of nails thrown into the snow." On the line were his partners and tent mates, Con Gepfert, E.. J. Judson, Grimes, Cullen. Beck and Dahlstrom, all of whom were lost.
 1T have seen all manner of disasters and accidents, from steamboat explo- sion to a railroad collision, he said, but never anything that unnerved me like this swift and silent horror, the burial alive, before my eyes, of so many people, some of them to whom I was strongly attached as the best and kind est-hearted men I had ever known. And that night in the power house, where half-hundred bodies. living and dead, were laid, the friends of all of

them calling upon the doctors and every pasSer-by to come for Gods sake and help them bring them back to life. It was pandemonium of distress the like of which 1 hope never to be called to witness again.
 A. s. Smith of Kansas City gives it as his opinion that there were about 125 on the rope. He was caught only to the waist in the snow. Immediately be- hind him was man named HerZog who had a shovel. Smith and he did good work with the single tool. Smith IS one of the Burge party all of whom were caught but none lost.
 Hubbard G. Hancock was one of the Burge party and was on the line inn mediately in front of Smith. He was submerged by about fourteen inches and was completely imprisoned He could see the light above and called, but could not be heard. Smith cleared the snow away from his head and af- terward helped to dig him out.
 Tom Hanna of Detroit, Mich., is a second cousin of Mark Hanna He was with the rope party and before 1t start ed he said that if he was ever caught in a snow slide he would throw up his hand so that the searching party might see 1t. When found Hanna's hand was up. {
 Arthur l.. Chappy was one or the last taken out alive. He was buried for four hours and did not recover con- sciousness until 10s o'clock Monday morning. He was then taken down to Sheep Camp. His arrival there at that time gave rise to the story that he had been buried for nineteen hours. Chap py is young man, married and has family in Detroit.
 T. M. Black of Punxatawny. Pa, was ten feet under the snow for two hours. He says that he was at first not alarm ed. His hands were caught up-ralsed near his face. He immediately began to work one of them around to his mouth to clear breathing space. It seemed to him an hour before he had worked his hand over to his mouth, a distance of a few inches. Realizing the impossibility of freeing himself under these conditions, especially as he did not know in which direction, up or down, lay the outer world, he began to despair and determined to try to sleep with the hope that it would merge without pain into the long sleep. He aid actually go to sleep, but again awoke. Previous to his going to sleep he had heard despairing voices all around him, praying, calling upon God TOT help and deliverance.. When he aWoke all the voices save one were si- lent and that seemed to be the voice or an old man just above him, that still Kept up an agonizing appeal for God for help. Presently he heard the voices Of the rescuers, heard the stroke or the shovel in the snow heard the

OVATION TO LEE
 AT KEY WEST.
Friends Hope He Will Soon Return to Cuba at the Head of
 a Division.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 10.-Consul- General Lees orders from Washington came soon. They were that h. should take the Olivette. which was in waiting, and proceed to Port Tampa, "Ae-e he would find special transportation which would take him to Washington. After breakfasting on the Fern with several naval officers, General Lee went ashore. The whole town turned out to meet him. He avoided a display as much as possible, however, remaining most of the time at the naval station with Cap- tain ForSythe, the commandant, ana Captain Cowles of the Fern.
 General Lee expressed qualification that the exodus from Cuba had been made without serious mishap. He also voiced hope that there might be no longer a delay on the part of the United States in settling the Cuban question. Questions involving criticism of Presi- dent Mckinley were put to the consult general, but he declined to be en- trapped, saying he had no intention of discussing the political matters of his superior, who was doi-g well. Delega- tions of Cubans met at the pGstoffice and addressed memorial to General Lee, thanking him for his courage and firmness which haG saved so many of their friends from death, and comph- menting him upon the administration of his difficult office.
 In the meantime, returned Americans and Cuban refugees were sWarming through the hotel corridors rejoicing that they were once again on American soil and beneath the stars and stripes. Nearly every one had friends in Key West. The landing was really a home coming. Nearly all the refugees had money enough for their immediate wants They were all bitter against Spain and expressed the intention of returning to Cuba as soon as Spain was driven out Most of them thought Ha- yana would be capitulating about next Wednesday.
 General Lee went aboard the Olivette by launch from the naval station at half-paSt F o'clock, and the steamer sailed for Tampa, most of the refugees | from Cuba also going to Tampa. Drs. Bruno and Dudley of the Marine Hos pital Service were ordered to Tampa to l await instructions. Vice-Consul Spring CT was given leave of absence. Mem bers of the staff of the Havana consult ate were told to remain in Key West. The last thing said to Lee as he em- parked was by an old friend, who re- marked: General, I hope you will be leading division against Havana be- fore the week is out" To this Consult General Lee made no reply.
