Butte. Mont. March 81. - The Hale
house. big three-story building. used As

after 3 o'clock. there were 400 men in it.
OF these, many are now i'll the hospital,

Several men who escaped express the
belief that fully 20 bodies are in the ruins,
a. many men who were in the building at
the time of the fire were intoxicated and
were rushing wildly and aimlessly
through the corridors. The fire is be-
Iieved to have started in the engine room,
and many occupants of the building were
ava kened by the smell of smoke and es-
capped before the alarm had been given.

house, says all the inmates escaped. and
Fire Chief Flannery also expresses that
belief

be known how many persisted, Estimates
of the dead, which now run up to Is, may
be cut down as the men report for duty
or to the police 1t IS known that 60 did
not show up at the mines this morning,
but many Of these doubtless are with
friends recovering from their fright.
The fire started in the basement and
was soon beyond control. The halls We're
filled with smoke and 1t was impossible
for many TO have escaped that way. Tho
Are escapes were mostly in the rear of tho
building and these were used by the men
who could reach them. Those in front,
however. crowded To the windows. 9th
ers jumped and were more or less injured.
As fast as men reached the scene the

it is reported on reasonable good
authority that he, in connection

and possibly a Helena or Great Falls
institution, will engage in the bank

marked by a prominent business

TERESA SINKS.
Ship Raised By Hobson Lost
In a Storm.
All on Board Were Saved Through
Heroic Work.

Charleston, S. g., November @The
tug Merritt put into Charleston
this morning. She reported
the loss of the cruiser Maria
Teresa off San Salvador, Bahamas,
on Nov. 3, in the midst of a furious
storm. The cruiser left Caimanera,
Cuba, on the morning of Oct. 80, in
tow for New York. She had already
passed Cape Maysi and started
northeast round the Bahamas. A
furious storm overlook her and in
her condition she was unable to
weather the gale. The strain opened
rents in the hull which had been
patched to enable her to make the
journey and she began to fill rapidly.
The Merritt took off Captain Harris
and the crew from the sinking ship
and she soon went down. The
Merritt brought the captain and 1876
men who will proceed no TIL by rail.
No lives were lost SO far as know.
This afternoon the survivors of the
Maria Teresa came ashore. They lost
all their clothing and presonaleffects.
The Teresa sank 80 miles off Walling
island at moor Tuesday, after BATH
ing with the gale six hours. She
met the storm Tuesday morning
and the vessel began to strain in the
high eas Parts of the hull though
safe became weakened, rivets broke
and the water made rapi lily i'm her
hold. The boiler began to give way
and finally the water eXtinguished
the fires in the engine room. The
pumps would not work. The whole
vessel showed signs of collapse, and
the men stood stripped awaiting
orders to quit the ship. The Vulcan
was towing the Teresa while the
Merritt rescued ia of the crew., made
up of volunteers from the Cincinnati,
Newark and Vulcan. The ropes
were cut and she then ragidly filled.
The Vulcan and LiOnades deserted
the Merritt, which put into Charles
