VIII Indignantly RepeI Any Demand
for ndemnIty for the Maine.
MADRID, March u.s. The following
semi official note was issued here to-
day: 1.-The report of the Spanish
committee on the Maine is not yet
known, but the statement of several
technical officers, who have made
close examination of the scene of the
disaster shows it to be indisputably
due to an internal accident. American
assertions to the contrary, therefore,
are deplored in official quarters as
tending to mislead public opinion
and render the situation still
more difficult from the standpoint of
maintaining friendly relations be-
tween the two countries. 1t may be re-
garded as certain that, should the
American technical committee present
a report declaring the disaster to be
due to an external explosion, the
public here will refuse to accept such
a finding, and any demand for an in
demnity based thereon will be indig-
nantly repealed by Spain"

PERISH IN FLAMES.
Big Chicago Building Burned and Many
Lives Lost

Lives Lost
CHICAGO, March II. - 1t required
just twenty minutes yesterday after
noon for one of the most savage fires
Chicago has seen since the famous
cold storage warehouse fire on the
Worlds fair grounds in 1893, to take
anywhere from five to fifteen lives,
MAIN thirty people and reduce six
story brick building to a pile of blaz-
ing timbers, red-hot bricks and twisted
iron. Two men leaped six stories and
were dashed to pieces.
The number of dead is still in doubt
and probably will not be definitely
known until the debris of the build
ing is sufficiently cooled to admit of g
search being made for the bodies o!
those who are undoubtedly in the
ruins. This will be two days hence al
least,
CHICAGO, March 19-Five bodies
have SO far been taken from the ruins
of the building at 2l5-221 Wabash
avenue, that burned Wednesday
morning This brings the number OF
the known dead to eight. Eighteen
persons are still missing and are sup
posed to have perished in the burning
building.

THE ARMY OF SPAIN.
HAS 10000 MEN AVAILA-
BILE FOR SERVICE.
$4,000 In Cuba-Seventy Thousand
spaniart,s Have Been Killed, Wounded
or Otherwise IncapacItated During
the Present Conflict.

WASHINGTON, March o. Seventy
thousand men is the number OF Span
ish soldiers who have been killed,
wounded and otherwise incapacitated
for duty during the present war in
Cuba. These figures have been re-
ceived in this city recently from re-
liable sources, and are said to be as
nearly authentic MS it is possible to
obtain them without recourse to the
records kept by the Spanish govern
ment From the same source consid-
cradle other information bearing on
the military strength of Spain and her
dependencies is obtained The pres
ent force of Spain in Cuba is as
follows:
Regulars, 1876, 900 men. OF this um
Der, it is estimated that SO, 900 of them
are effective for military purposes
They are distributed throughout the
island as follows: About $4,000 are
in the two eastern provinces of Santi-
ago de Cuba and Puerto Principe, and
the remainder are in the provinces of
Santa Clara, Mantanzas, Havana
and Pinar del Rio. There are about
30, 900 members in what is known as
the volunteer army. These are mostly
in the province of Havana, and are
largely in the nature of home guards
corresponding to our state militia
There are SIS, 200 men who are not eff
fective for military duty from various
causes.
The strength of the Spanish army
at home and including her nearby
possessions, is 100, 900 men, which, in
times of demand for additional SOL
diers, may be increased as follows:
First reserve, so, 900; second reserve,
100, 900 men, all of whom are in
structed in military tactics, and a Sec
ond reserve, not instructed, of 10000
men, making in all grand total of
$40, 600 men. Since these figures were
received here, recent drafts of Is, coo
men to strengthen the army in Cuba
leaves only $1,000 men of SPANS reg
ular army now in the peninsula, the
Baleric islands, the Spanish posses
sions in North Africa and the Canary
islands
In the Philippine islands Spain has
an army of 80, 900 men, which includes
about $4,000 native troops. Several
regiments of the latter were disbanded
during the time of the late insurrec-
ton in the islands, and at time of war
it is said they are of very little use to
the Spanish government.
In Porto Rico there are 5000 Span
ish troops, which in the event of hos
tilities could be supplemented by 1000
volunteers.

Revise Our small Change.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The hous
committee on coinage, weights ano
measures has favorably reported to
the House a resolution authorizing the
secretary of the treasury to make ex'
periments to determine the best ma
terial for minor coinage and to sub.
NIT new designs for coins to Congress.
The committee says the copper penny
becomes dingy, dull, and, by cor.
rosion, poisonous; the Scent nickel,
three-quarters copper, is too soft.
Switzerland, Austria Hungary and
Italy have adopted pure nickel for
their minor coinage with very salts

KEY WEST, Fla, March 10. Tho

ship Iowa, and, judging from state.
ments made by members, it is quite

1.-The court is still hard at work, I"
Captain Sampson said. 81 have just

possible to say when our report will
be ready. When the report is ready,
it will not be for us to make the an.
nouncement. Washington, presume,
will do that"
If preliminary report had already
been sent to Washington, Captain
Sampson apparently knew nothing
of it.

GOVERNOR LEEDY'S VIEW.
Tho War Scare Used to Create an Army
to Suppress Labor.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 49, -Governor
Leedy in an interview this morning,
declared that in his opinion the ad-
ministration at Washington is taking
advantage of the present troubles to
increase the army, not for the purpose
of fighting Spain, but to have stand
ing army to keep down the strikes and
internal troubles at home.
IF they call for volunteers Kansas
will furnish them" he said, "but they
won't call for them unless l am badly
mistaken. don't expect to see war
with Spain, but this crisis is just what
the corporations have been looking
for to give an excuse for big stand
ing army to keep down labor troubles.
1 have no confidence in the govern
ment's intentions"

Terrible Suffering Among Spanish
Troops ut Guantanamo
Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press.)
Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay,
July 10. - A Spanish soldier, terribly
emaciated and so weak that he could
hardly walk, was picked up by the men
from the United States gunboat An
napolis at a point near the entrance
to the upper bay. He had no rifle, for
he was too weak to carry it. Accord
ing to his story there are many Span
ish soldiers in Guantanamo in the
same state of starving. He says there
is absolutely nothing to eat there, but
tn eSpanish soldiers are daily told if
they surrender to the enemy they will
be killed. a corporate and eight pri-
Yates from BaracOa came into the bay
in a small boat and were picked up by
the cruiser Marblehead. They were
ostensibly greatly surprised and claim
ed not to have known that the bay was
in possession of the Americans. They
report that there is a great scarcity Of
food at Baracoa and that the Spanish
troops there are in bad way. Over
10000 rations for reconcentrados have
been landed across the bay by Com
maander McCalla, of the Marblehead,
and the half-starved Cubans are flock
ing in from the hills for food.
