Gen. Miles Reviews the Tournament.
Wild Enthusiasm


NEW YORK, March 16.-Between 1000
and 5000 people crowded into Madison
Square garden tonight to witness the con-
tests of the military tournament.
Shortly after o'clock Gen. Nelson A.

Gen. Miles was in full regimentals. In
the adjoining box were Maj. Gen. Wesley
Merritt, Col. S. S. Sumner and Lieut.. H.
c. Hale.
When the command was given for the
grand review, the Thirteenth infantry
band U. S. A, struck up Marching
Through Georgia"
The band was followed by detachment
from the monitor Terror The applause
that greeted the tars as they trooped into
the arena was deafening. Some one shout
ed "Three cheers for the Maine" and the
cheers echoed and re-echoed through the
great building. In all about 7C00 men were
deployed in the arena and as each COM
pany passed the reviewing box it saluted
the commander. When the sailors from
the monitor Terror were passing before
one of the arena boxes one of the ladies
threw an immense bouquet at them.
The sailors presented arms in recognition
of the favor and the spectators went wild

SCENES AND INCIDENTS
Many Panic Stricken-zA Few Show
Cool Heroism

The Conover Piano Company occu-
pied the first, second and third stories
of the building. Among other tenants
were the Presbyterian Board of Publ
cations and the Sweet, Wallach Com
pany, dealers in Photographic supplies,
the latter on the sixth floor.
1t was here that the fire broke out.
The floor was stored with chemicals and
materials used in the art of photography,
and the entire floor was swept with
flames in five minutes after the fire
broke out. Three hundred girls were
employed by this firm, and when the
fire broke out panic ensued, many of
the unfortunate women being trampled
under the feet of their comrades in their
frantic efforts to escape. Cut off from
escape by the elevators and the STAIR
ways, people penned in the burning
building began jumping from the win
dows, and though the firemen and
others held nets and canvas many were
crushed on the stone sidewalks Ac-
cording to the witnesses as many as
ten jumped from the top floors, and
others were seen shortly to fall back
into the flames. The flames Quickiy '
spread to the floors beneath.
The floors occupied by the Presbyte-
rian Board of Publications and Sunday
School Supplies Company also con-
tanned material which readily burned.
On the lower fOcrs the piano supplies
and instruments held in stock by the
Conover Piano Company were soon
transformed into tinder. The firemen
were badly handicapped by the heat,

TENSION INCREASES
Little Doubt Left as to an External
Explosion

HAVANA (via Key West, Fla.), March
16.-With the departure of the court of in
Quiry after a second visit to the scene of
the wreck of the Maine the tension grows
serious. There is no reason to change the
belief that the court will find that the dis
aster was caused by an explosion outside
the Maine, but its members have been as
secret as the grave. The chief officers have
been absolutely discreet, while the talk of
the divers has been contradictory From
numerous bits of evidence that have come
out during the three weeks examination
1t seems as sure as anything in this lat!-
tude can be that the plans before the court
show that the ship was broken in two and
the forward part rent asunder by an eX-
plosion from the outside. No one believes
that any Spanish officials or officers of
rank will be implicated, whatever may be
the findings of the court. Captain Samp-
son, before leaving said the courts depar-
ture was not due to orders received, but
was decided upon solely by the members
themselves. The wrecking work has been
very slow, but it is hoped that now, with
the added facilities and the others that are
to come, work will be advanced with
greater rapidity.
General Blanco gave n banquet at the
palace to the officers OF the viscaya and
the Almirante Oquendo. The high Off
cials of the Autonomous government were
present.
The report is circulated here that Spain
has requested the United tSates to remove
the fleet now at Dry Tortugas and Key

coast on the ground that it's presence in

FRESNO, March ia writ of man.
date was issued this afternoon directing
the county auditor to draw a warrant in
favor of Mary A. Smile, as Administrative
of the late Robert Smile. deceased, for
sS132.39. The claim has been before the
courts of this county for four years, and
originated from balance which Robert
Smile claimed to be due him for building
the court house. The superior court or
dered it paid out of the funds of 1893 over
year ago. 1t has been claimed that that
amount of money did not remain in the
fund. Nandamus proceedings were insti-
tuted to compel the auditor to draw the
warrant, with the result as stated. The
supervisors refused to have the claim taken
to the supreme court, and the warraift was
drawn late this afternoon and paid.
