WASHINGTON. March 23.-Thes short
session of the senate was quite unusual
for the early part of the week. That
no one was prepared to go on with any
pending measure was given as the ex.
PLANTATION, but privately the opinion
was stated by some of the senators that
while the Cuban question remained i'll
such suspense there was no desire to
take up important legislation. The
outlook as to Cuba was discussed
among senators almost to the exclusion
OF other topics and the belief was
quite decided that tho administration
is preparing to take positive position
within the next week. Several senators
made the prediction that the United
States would intervene. Being pressed
for reason they stated that they had
reached this conclusion after more or
less conference with executive officers,
but at the same time saying quite en-
phatically that they had no positive ln-
formation on this point. Other seuu-
tors thought the recognition of Cuban
Independence more probable than in-
tervention. Almost all expressed the
view that some action surely will fol-
low the report of the Maine court of
inquiry regardless OF its purport.

THE TIME is At HAND.

Senator Thurston Relieves the United
States Should Intervene at Once.
OMAHA, March 23.-''If the time for
the intervention OF the United States
in the affairs of Cuba is not here now
it never will come,' said Senator
Thurston. II wired Senator Allen to
announce that I would speak on the
Cuban question in the senate next
Thursday The senator says that the
only solution of the trouble is such in.
tervention unless the people OF the
United States are willing to look on
and see the work of starvation, already
so far advanced, completed. The re.
concentrates are absolutely without
hope and if the death lists in any parts
OF the island are decreasing it is only
because the material for starvation to
work upon is giving out.

Destruction of the Hale House
Resulted in at Least a
Score of Deaths.
That Number Known to Be
Missing and Search May
Disclose More.
Two Hundred and Fifty in
the Building When the
Fire Started.

BUTTE, Mon, March 29.-The loss of
life by the burning of the Hale House
is still unknown, but it is certain to
reach more than score. Two men are
dead from injuries received in jumping
from windows, three are dying and
twenty are missing, while search of
the ruins may disclose the fact that
many transient dodgers lost their lives
also.
The Hale House was large 3.story
brick building and was used as lodg.
ing and boarding house by miners in
the employ Of the Anaconda company.
There were 250 men and women in the
building when the fire broke out. OF
these it is believed that about 200 es.
capped without injury.
Had a Good Start When Discovered.
The fire started in the bakery in
the center of the building and had q
good start when discovered. When the
6remen arrived, men. in their under.
clothing and others half dressed were
clamboring down the fire escapes in the
rear. Many others, together with the
servant girls, were at the windows in
the front Of the building frantically
calling for help. They were cut off
from the rear Of the building by the
dense smoke. The ladders were run
up, but not before many Of the fright
ened people had jumped. Others, in.
Guiding all the female help, were got.
ten out by the firemen. On the side of
the building many made ropes of their
bed clothes and sought to escape in
that way. Some of them succeeded,
but in many cases the ropes broke and
the men dropped many feet to the
ground.
Twenty Known to BE Missing.
It is possible some of the missing
men may turn up yet. Early in the
day the list Of the supposed dead ran
up as high as 80. This was because
many Of the men who escaped did not
report for work at the mine. Little by
little, however, the list decreased as
men reported, until 20 known dodgers
were unaccounted for. It is possible,
however, that q number of transient
roomers who are not well known may
be dead in the ruins. Only an exam.
ination will settle that point, and this
cannot be made until the ruins cool of.
The Hale House belonged to the Ana
conda bompany. It was built in 1885
at cost Of $40, 600, and with the furni.
ture and belongings Of the dodgers the
loss will reach fully 100000.

Report to Congress as Soon
as 1t Arrives.
Findings Of the court Ex-
pected to Reach Washing
ton Thursday.
Belief that the Explosion Was
External Growing In Off
cial Circles.

WAeH1NaToN, March 2S.-The pro.
.cedure in connection with the submis.
sion Of the report Of the Maine court of
inquiry by the presidentto congress is
now clearly outlined and cabinet Of.
6cer explained the general line of &C.
ton at present intended to be pursued
upon receipt Of the report, which is
expected to reach Washington. next
Thursday. A copy of it will be laid be-
fore the Spanish government very
early, and, as soon as it can be consist.
emily done. the report will be sent to
congress and made public at the same
time. The report to congress will be
accompanied by message from the
president stating that, after receiving
the report, the conclusions were laid
before the Spanish government and
appropriate action from that quarter
asked. It is stated positively that no
part of the report and
No Intimation of the Findings
has reached the executive authorities
in Washington as yet. At the same
time it is q noticeable fact that the cur.
rent of official opin ion is beginning to
follow that of the n nofficial opinion ex-
pressed so positively and persistently
at Havana and Key West that the
cause OF the explosi on was external to
the battleship. Officials high in the
ADMINISTRATION state that while they
were wholly without exact information
as to the findings Of the court of in.
quiry they found themselves sharing
in the apparently intangible conviction
that the cause of the explosion was not
accidental. Opinion expressed by the
Maine survivors who reached here last
Saturday doubtless contributed largely
to this view in official circles. In this
connection it is understood that one of
the officers who arrived on Saturday
stated, not as opinion but us his per.
sonal observation on the night of the
disaster, that
!, There Were Two Distinct Explosions.
The tendency Of this is to support the
theory Of external cause, as this is
based on the idea that the first external
explosion was followed by second in.
ternal explosion.
Intense interest in the report was
manifested during the day at the
White House and at the state, war and
navy departments. The president re.
ceived number of congressional lead.
ers, among them being Speaker
Reed and Chairman Hit Of
tho house committee on foreign
affairs. The visit Of Mr.. Reed
naturally attracted much attention,
as he seldom leaves the congressional
sphere to make calls on the executive
branch, and it was naturally inferred
that the purpose Of his visit was to
confer upon the Cuban situation and
its future before congress. though
neither he nor Mr.. Hit was communi.
cative. Secretary Long also had an
extended conference with the presi.
dent.

DON'T EXPECT REJECTION.
Ohiciais In Washington Think the Span
ish VIII Make Counter
Proposition.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-By way of
preparation for what may happen at the
meeting of the peace commissioners in
Paris today, it may be said that the Off
Gals here have no idea that the Spanish
reply will be an unconditional accept
ance of our last proposition relating to
the acquisition of the Philippines. On
the other hand they do not expect an
unequivocal rejection.
What is likely to occur is that the
Spanish commissioners will come IN
with counter proposition, the basis OF
which probably will be considerable
increase in the sum of money to be paid
to the Spanish government for the Phil
ippines. This will open way to nego.
tiations on that subject and inasmuch
as the commissioners spent about six
weeks considering the sections of the
protocol dealing with Cuba and Porto
Rico, it is reasonable to believe that at
least a few days may be properly
allowed for the discussion of the Phil.
ippines.
In short it may be said that the off,
Gals here do not expect a final breach
of relations between the commissioners
to occur today, Notwithstanding the
comments of unfriendly European
newspapers in that line.
