TEN DEAD, MANY HURT.
Nitrous Ether Wrecks a Pharma-
Ceutical Establishment at
Kalamazoo.

Kalamazoo, Mich, Feb. 2S.-Fire and
an explosion in the Hall Bros pharma-
ceutical works last night caused the death
of ten men. A score are more or less i'll
jured, some with legs, hands or faces
mangled or blown off, and others with
their backs broken or MANNED in some
other way.
The dead:
JOSEPH CLIFFORD, spectator.
GEORGE HALLIDAY fireman
PATRICK M'HUGH fireman.
JOHN HASTINGS, spectator.
CHARLES WHITING, spectator.
JAMES QUIGLEY, spectator.
WILLIAM WAGNER fireman
l.. l.. HOLLOWAY, druggist!
FRANK AUWERS, spectator.
EUGENE DOLE. fireman.
Two men named Phillips and West are
reported missing, and it is feared their
bodies may be in the ruins, as West was
seen with Clifford just before the explo-
sion occurred.
The building. fOur-story structure. was
occupied Jointly by Hall Bros and the
kalamazoo Paper Box company the lat
ter concern having the two upper floors
The total loss is about G,O00 about
$4,000 being sustained by Hall Bros.
The explosion is supposed to have been
caused by the ignition of nitrous ether,
out the origin of the fire cannot be ac-
counted for. The explosion shook the
whole city, and the dead and injured were
thrown from twenty to fifty feet.

AN INSULT FROM SPAIN.
'Drunkards, lnSubordinates
and Thieves"

London, Feb. 2S-The Carlist organ Ell
COrreo of Madrid. in its issue of Febru-
airy %, just received here by mail, says:
There is no doubt whatever that The
loss of the Maine was due to lack of dis
cipline on the deck. and cites the case Of
a United States cruiser which was .ately
at Venice, describing her crew as being
rather pirates than sailors OF a civilized
nation"
Continuing. Ell Correo says: Drunk
ards, insubordinates, thieves and fighters,
the sailors of the United States never set
foot ashore without creating riots. Night
ly several Of them slept in jail, or were
taken on board under arrest until the mu-
nicipality was forced to formally complain
to the commander and request him not to
allow his men to land, as otherwise they
could not be anSWerable for the conse-
Quences.
Had these officials belonged to the
Christina regime, the United States
would have replied by demanding an in
demnity, or an apology, or both, with the
certainty of obtaining it. But, the pro-
test not being Spanish, no attention was
paid to it. This naval convict ship, which
is never free from the fumes Of alcohol
must be a twin sister of the Maine 1t
is q marvellous thing, in such hands, that
one Of their ships does not blow up
daily"

SPAIN GETTING READY, TOO.
Will Dispatch Ships to Cuba as Rapidly
As Possible,

New York, Feb. 2S.-A dispatch to the
World from Madrid says: ''The report
that Spanish squadron had sailed for the
Unit 4 States has its only foundation Ill
these facts:
Spain is hurredly getting her navy into
fighting trim, and torpedo tiotilla will set
sail for Havana this week.
THE World correspondent learns Off
cially from the Spanish navy department
that no squadron has sailed from Spain
within the last few days.
1.-THE only cruiser now on the way to
Havana is the Almirante OQuendO, u sis
ter ship to the ViZcaya.
"A fotilla composed of three torpedo de-
stroyers, three torpedo boats and the
steamship City of Cadiz, under command
of Capt Villamil, will leave Cadiz for Ha-
vana this week, as has been cabled al

The only Spanish vessels which could
follow Immediately are the cruiser lnfanta

THE MONITOR AT NEW YORK.
Will Probably Stay There Until Maine
Question is Settled.

New York, Feb. 28.-The United
States monitor Terror passed in at
quarantine at 1850 this morning. The
vessel left Hampton Roads Saturday
afternoon, where she had been lying for
a week, fully prepared to put to sea. Her
commander, Capt. Nicoll Ludlow, re-
ceived instructions from Secretary Long
to remain in New York harbor until fur
Their orders, which is taken to mean that
the monitor will be on hand until the
final settlement of the Maine question.
1t is thought that the secretary de-
layed sending the monitor to these waters
during the stay of the Spanish cruiser
.Vizcaya through courtesy to the Span
iards.
The formidable vessel, which will prob
ably lie at the man-of- war anchorage off
Thompsonville is 249 feet long. 55 feet 8
inches beam, IA feet 3 inches draft Her
displacement is 1890 tons, speed y knots,

tive deck, eight inches; thickness of tur

spoke affectingly of the bravery of the
lieutenant and his crew of gallant seamen
who risked their lives to save their ship
and crew.
For six days and nights, in the teeth
and before fierce gales shrouded in the
icy doWnpour of winter rain, drenched all
the time, these ten heroes stuck to their
oars until the Rotterdam hove in sight.
The men at times gave up all hope, and
wanted to quit rowing, but the officer
cheered them with all sorts of stories of
the morrow, and for the first five nights,
when the lookout gave no report, the Off
Ger busted himself with promises of hope
and reward to the Overworked men.
Finally the continual suffering upon the
men began 20 tell. First the hands and
then the feer of the men were frostbit-
ten. Rowing with numbed and bleeding
fingers and bodies half paralyzed from
the cold was torture. but under the Off
GERS cheering words the crew kept stead
tasty to it, and when the smoke of the
Rotterdam was seen there was a feeble
shout of joy from the brave fellows. Sig
nails were run up, and the boat pulled
across the Rotterdams course. There
was a time Of suspense of the most ago
nlZlng kind. If the steamer did not sight
them!
While 1T was coming up out of the sea
the men rOwed like demons to get square
~ across it's path. where no seas, be they
ever so nigh, could hide them. When
finally there came that glad moment that
the Rotterdam hoisted signals and swung
in its course to meet them, the men gave
up the long fight and allowed the res
cuer to do the rest.
There was great difficulty in getting the
exhausted and half frozen crew on board.
The high sea kept the lifeboat at dis
lance, but the Rotterdam's men lowered
a boat and took the men off their craft in
a bunch. Once aboard and out of the
danger the crew grew faint. One man at
time went down until the entire ten
were in care of Dr.. Wheat. the surgeon.
Warm beds and proper stimulants soon
brought them around so that they could
at least talk. and their tale of awful suf-
fering was told by Officer Unsworth
After the rescue the Rotterdam con-
tinued on to this port, La Champagne
being too far out of its course to expect
saccor from the Dutch vessel
Officer Unsworth was on the Rottcr-
dams deck when the New York pilot
boarded it. He rushed eagerly forward
and asked if La Champagne was in.
Being answered in the negative he almost
wept. He said he had hoped some vessel
had gone to its aid after he had LEFT it,
and that it might have been towed safely
into port. SO far as he knew, then, only
he and his nine heroes were left of the
479 people who sailed upon 1T from
Havre on February II.

DOGS FOR KLONDIKE.
Northern Michigan's Canine Popu-
lation is Almost De-
pleted.

Marquette, Mich, Feb. 2S.-[ Especial /
If the Klondike fever continues to rage
as it does now, and if Quitting parties
continue to scour the country to get ca
nine power to pull their toboggans, the
upper peninsula will soon be a dogless re-
gion.
Big. shaggy dogs are preferred, but
even the smaller breeds are not despised,
and there are those who claim that there
is more work to be got out of a team of
six or seven small dogs than out of three
or four of the big fellows. The smaller
dogs will pull more for their weight and
eat less.
Ever since last summer the intending
argOnauts have been in the market for
dogs, and the result is that the price has
gone up. y dog that couldn't be given
away last year will bring So, while one
that is big and strong and broken TO
drive is worth easily $25. The stock is
getting reduced, and if the demand keeps
up there will be some fancy prices paid
before summer.
Dogs which are to be entered IL the
spring rush for the gold fields have been
going out of here and through here in
small lots for several weeks back, but the
banner shipment went through by express
Saturday from Calumet. 1t consisted of
broke to drive. They occupied an entire
car. They were bound for Seattle via
the 500 line in charge of their owner and
an assistant. The load was picked up in
the copper country at prices ranging from
s. TO 500 a head But in spite of the
heavy expense of shipping them across
the continent the owner expects to sell
them to KlOndikers who are outftting
there at a big profit. A few days before
a consignment of 100 dogs started for
Seattle from the Eastern end of the upper
peninsula. The entire number of CANNES
which have already gone and which will
be taken out Of the Lake Superior cOun-
try before spring will run into the thou
sands.
It would be p difficult thing TO prove
that the shippers of all these dogs come
by them legitimately. The point to which
the market has risen places premium
on theft. 1t is openly averred that not
only single men but companies are get
ting their entire stock in this manner.
In this country the ambition Of every
boy from 10 to 16 is to own q sleigh dog,
or, better, a team of them. The dogs haul
them to school on sleds or tobOggans,
they race through the streets, and they
drive to mill and to market. Until re-
Gently dog races were feature of New
Years day in almost every Northern
Michigan town.
Dogs which have been in this manner
well broken to drive are the very ones
which the constituencies thief who is
picking up animals for the KlOndike
trade, will steal at every opportunity,
and already many boy is mourning for
the bOW-WOW that started for the gold
fields one dark night.

GUARDING KEY WEST.
Admiral Sicard Says Additional
Batteries Would be Needed
at that Point.

Key West, Fla, Feb. 26.-The United
States coast steamer Bache arrived here
this morning from Havana She had
on board four .of the Names wounded
Two of them were well enough to walk
Admiral Sicard today explained the
departure yesterday of Commander West
for Havana. There is nothing particu-
larly significant about it, he said. Com
mander West asked my permission to run
over to Havana to talk with Capt. Sigs-
bee and the officers of the court of in
qulry. Commander West. as chief of my
staff, has all the papers III the case, and
we keep in close touch with what is 60
ing on at Havana" Commander West
will probably return today.
Regarding the movements of the feet,
Admiral Sicard said: THE boats at Tor
tugaS are doing some target practice. but
the elaborate plan of maneuyers which
had laid out has had to be postponed,
pending developments. [ brought the
New York in here because [ wish TO be in
close and constant communication with
the navy dep2 rtment.
Referring to the land naval station here.
the admiral remarked: only nominal
forces are here now. Should anything
occur" added Admiral Sicard guardedly,
lit would have to be strengthened consld-
erably.'
The officers composing the United
SldleS court vi Inquiry lulO tue loss OF
the battleship Maine are expected here to-
night. A prominent naval officer said the
court would almost certainly return to
Havana after its session here.
Absolutely nothing is known here re-
garding the rumored intention to increase
the strength of the Key West garrison.
No provisions have been made for the ac-
commodatiOn of additional troops at the
barracks and there is only room for the
two batteries now in quarters.
Fort Taylor, which is unoccupied at
present, is where the additional troops
would probably be quartered. and moth
ing has been done O make the fort ready
for occupation.
Several officers who were questioned
today said no word has been received
from the war department regarding the
transfer of troops from Forth McPher-
son or any other place to Key West
The United States cruiser Marble
head is in the harbor.

DEMONST RATION AT HAVANA.
One is Likely to Occur When the Vizcaya
Arrives.


New York, Feb. 2S.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: The arrival
of the Spanish cruiser Nizcaya is awaited
with extreme interest. 1t is possible that
the arrival of the Warship Will be made
the occasion for a demonstration Of in
transigentes and volunteers. The govern
ment cannot well forbid demonstration
of Spanish loyalty. The occasion will
afford an excellent opportunity to measure
the feeling of the Spanish classes The
authorities are disquieted over the pros
pect of riotous proceedings before the Viz
caya's arrival.
''The naval board shifts its inquiry to
Key West temporarily. While it is hold
ing sessions there the work of the divers
will 90 forward ana something may be
done toward raising portions of the wreck
of the Maine. Members of the board
discourage laying too much stress on what
the divers are doing or drawing positive
conclusions from their labors.
Nevertheless, they have found the for
ward magazine intact and have been
bringing up powder which was not likely
to have remained powder if the explosion
had been an internal one. Much of the
evidence leads to support the belief of an
explosion produced by submarine mine.
The inquiries of the board are directed
along line to bring out facts bearing on
the point. The proof is neither final nor
positive. but it is strong enough to make
the theory of an accident a growing inn
proba bility. Until the hull and plates can
be examined no conclusive opinion can be
formed. That may be determined by the
time the board returns to Havana. Capt.
Sampson and his associates are aware Of
thee impatience with which the result OF
the inquiry is awaited in the United
States. but their labors are too moment
Gus IN consequence to be hurried.

COURT AT KEY WEST.
Board Of Inquiry Into the Maine
Disaster Back on Ameri-
can Soil.

Key West, Fla, Feb. 2S.-The United
States court of inquiry into the loss of
the battleship Maine in the harbor Of
Havana on February ID began it's SEES
sons here this morning. Those officers
and civilians who believed the reports
from Havana saying that the court had
already decided that the loss of the Maine
was due to treachery have apparently
changed their minds, for today the uni
versal question is, What has the court
found out?" While yesterday one heard
all around, ''When will war be declared 2"
Brought face to face with the court,
men realize for the first Tine how unlikely
it will be for the court TO allow any ink
ling of its conclusions to be known out of
due season.
An unusual hustle pervaded this little
town this morning. The torpedo boat
Gushing went over to the New York and
brought to shore Capts. Sampson and
Chadwick and Lieut. Commander Porter.
eut.-Commander Mark, the judge ad-
vocate, who is staying on the island with
Commandant Forsythe, was already at
the federal building directing the .prepara-
ton of the United States district court
for the sessions Of the court of inquiry A
small crowd gathered outside early
watching for developments.
Long before the officers were ready to
go to the courtroom the enlisted men
saved from the Inflated vessel were up
and waiting at their temporary home in
the army barracks.
1t was not known whether any Of them
would be called, but all preparations
were made so that the court should not be
delayed in it's work.
The court opened shortly after 10
o'clock Lieut.. Blandin was the first wit
ness called.
Testimony will be taken according to
its relative Importance and not according
to the rank of the witness.

STUFF SAILORS ARE MADE OF.
Heroic Work of Ten Volunteers in Search
of Aid,

New York, Feb. 2S.-When it was seen
that La Champagne was doomed to lie in
its exposed and helpless condition until
rescuers came land as the ship was out of
the path Of regular travel such a POSSIBLE
~ was remote), the officers of the vessel
discussed the feasibility of sending out
lifeboat crew to the southwark in search
of some of the big liners which should be
passing. There was call for volunteers
The first man to offer his services in the
heroic work was Third Officer Unsworth
Immediately number of the crew offered
TO serve under him. Out of the number
was selected boat crew of nine men.
The lifeboat was thoroughly provis-
toned and in a heavy sea the lone craft
put off through the tractless waves in the
faint hope that when it had dropped down
from the wind to point further south it
might meet a liner.
The passengers were deeply affected
when tle lifeboat left the steamer Their
departure was signalized by cheers from
the passengers. who crowded the decks to
wish them godspeed. Many of the ladies
