that evening he left the Midland hotel in

rRooPs TO GO TO CUBA.
AIger Issues Orders for Military Oc-
equations.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Secretary AL
ger has issued the order looking to
the military occupation of Cuba by
the United States troops. The order
was issued only after very careful con-
sideration Of the reports of the mill
tary officers now in Cuba, and of the
Hecker board and other expert com
missioners which have beer in the
field The order looks to the occupa-
ton Of two points to begin with,
namely, Neuvitas and Puerto Principe,
but the occupation will be extended as
rapidly as the Spanish evacuation pro-
ceeds. The order directs the move
ment to begin at once, but according
to the calculations of the department.
it will scarcely be possible to make
the first landing before Nov. y. The
new brigade which has been created
for the purpose of beginning occupa-
ton will be under the command OF
Gen. l.. H. Carpenter. He is now III
command of the cavalry brigade com
posed of the Sixth and Seventh cav
airy at Huntsville, Ala.

looked upon the rumor with considerable
amusement as within the past year and

drivers, and since they have been in serv-

these magnificent new locomotives, the

1S5 miles and made one fiveeminute stop,
They frequently run eighty-five miles an

Fifteen or More Men Killed by the
Collapse of an Unfinished Theater
Building.
Detroit. Mich, Nov. S.-The new five
story Wonderland theater building is
in d state of collapse and fifteen or
more lives have been sacrificed by all
accident which occurred here yester=
day afternoon Shortly before .
o'clock, while some thirty-five men
were at work in various parts of the
unfinished theater portion of the struc-
ture, the roof fell in without d sec=
ond's warning. Nearly every work
man was carried down into the thea
ter pit. The top gallery was crushed
down upon the lower gallery, forming
slid broken steel Orders, planking:
timbers, brick and great amount OF
cement from the roof, and carrying
along a struggling company of men
into the pit below. very few of whom
escaped injury. The front wall of the
building remained perfectly intact, but
the east side wall bulged and bucked
threateningly. Notwithstanding the
latter danger, the work of rescuing the
injured and taking out the dead was
rushed and good progress was made
until 5:15 D. H.. when the upper por-
ton of the east wall fell, causing a
stampede for the street None of those
who Wer estruck by the second down
fall were seriously injured, although
several were precipitated into the
basement through the steel joist over
which only a few loose planks were
laid.

a LOUD COMPLAINT
Porto Rican Papers Tell of military
OUtrageS

O0tEstScS.
WaShington. NCy. 5. = Some of the
Porto Rican newspapers have been
publishing articles bitterly criticising
the conduct of the United States sol
diers sent to the island as permanent
garrison. The soldiers have been ac-
cused of all sorts of msdemeanors, of
rutiianism, of petty larceny, of the de-
struction of private property, and, in
fact, of every kind of excess. The
charges reflected particularly upon the
volunteer regiments, and We're SO gem
eral and earnest that Secretary Alger
felt called upon to take formal notice
Of them. 1t was evident that if they
were we'll founded the Porto RicanS
were likely to be alienated from their
new allegiance almost before they
had become fairly attached. SO Il
cablegram was sent to Maj. Gen.
Brooke. commanding all of the United
States troops in Porto Rico, calling his
attention to these reports. The an
swer came in the shape of the follow
ing cablegram from Gen. Brooke:
''Bad behavior of our soldiers in
Ponce province is news to me. Col
Castlemap, commanding the proyis
ional brigades there, is now with me,
and says report is entirely unfounded.
New regiments coming in were unset
tied for few days. but are all away
from there now and at their regular
stations Brooke"

YELLOW FEVER.
Americans Are Alarmed by the Stu
alton in Havana

Havana, Cuba, Nov. S.-The yellow
fever situation here is causing great
anxiety among the American officials.
The increasing number of cases, ma
lOrity of which are of serious nature,
has alarmed the entire American col
ony and the announcement of two
more cases caused the alarm to de-
velOp almost the character of a panic.
The disease is apparently spreading
rapidly and is not confined to the vi
dado district, where Captains Foraker
and Beebe were stricken.
Chief Clerk Caldwell, of the quar-
termaSter's department., was seen and
examined by DR.. Laine. The doctor
declared his disease yellow fever and
ordered his removal and isolation in a
building near the trOcha. A clerk
named Stewart, of the quartermasters
department, has been i'll since Wednes-
Jay last. His case was also diagnosed
as yellow fever, and he was removed
10 the same place.

RAISING sUNKEN wARsHIPs.
Government Will Leave the Work
for Private Concerns.

for Private Concerns.
Washington, Nov. 5-Secretary Long
said yesterday afternoon that the gov
eminent would take 10 further step
to raise the rest Of the Spanish war
ships destroyed by Admiral Schleys
fleet off the coast of Santiago, but
that the department would receive
propositions to that end from any pri-
vate firm that cared to undertake the
work. He added that this determina-
ton was based on the report of the
board of construction which recently
had a consultation on the subject with
Naval Constructor Hobson, who was
personally supervising the wrecking
operations. The existing contract
with the Merritt-Chapman company
will be abrogatad and operations en-
tirely suspended on the Colon and 9th
er vessels pending the consideration OF
propositions from private firms to do
the work independent of the govern
ments. 1t is understood that there
are two companies willing to under
take the work at their own risk, one
Swedish company and another com
Dany from the Pacific coast.
