He regarded the odd-looking creature

Big Lodging House in Butte,
Montana,
Takes Fire While 400 Men Are
Inside.
TWENTY-FIVE DEAD.
Injured Are Scattered All Over
Town.
Property Loss Estimated at
$4,000.
TWENTY-FIVE DEAD.

Butte, Mont, March 21.-The Hale
as a boarding and lodging house for
men in the employ of the Anaconda
company, was entirely destroyed by
fire today.
The building was on East Broadway.
When the fire broke out, shortly after
8 o'clock, there were 400 men in it. OF
these many are now in hospitals, and
others, who escaped almost without
clothes, are scattered all over town.
Until the safe, now buried in the cell
lar under tons of debris, is removed and
the books examined and a roll called, it
will not be known how many perished.
The estimate of the dead, which now
run up to 25, 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, though
many of these doubtless are with their
friends, recovering from their fright.
The fire started in the basement and
was soon beyond control. The halls
were filed with smoke, and it was inn
possible for many to have escaped that
way The fire escapes were mostly in
the rear of the buildings, and these were
used by the men who could reach them.
Those in front, however, crowded to the
windows. Many of these were taken
out by means of ladders, put up by
firemen. Others jumped, and were more
or less injured. AS fast as the men
reached the ground, the injured were
taken to the hospital to the house of
friends. Others who were not injured,
rushed at once for shelter. The air
was bitterly cold.
It will be some time before a complete
roster of injured can be had. Follow
ing is list:
MATT DOYLE, who was injured by
jumping died at 10 o'clock in the Sis
ters' hospital.
FRANK RHODES, also injured by
jumping is dying
JOHN T. CARTER, burned about the
head and neck not seriously injured.
MIKE JUDGE, right arm broken at
the wrist. He jumped from the third
story of the hotel
JOHN DUGAN was taken to the Sis
ters' hospital in an unconscious cOndi-
tiOn and is probably suffering from
confusion of the brain. His head is
crushed and he is otherwise hurt about
the body. He jumped from the third
story.
NEWT GALLAGHER has his back
Sprained jumping from the second floor.
TIM RYAN, a miner in the Mountain
Consolidated, had his leg broken by fall
ling from the fire escape at the second
story.
HUGH BOYLE had his left leg bro
ken.
PATRICK GILLIGAN, badly burned
about the body and hands.
The loss to the hotel will amount to
$50, 600. The individual losses of the
men will amount to considerable.

sPAIN's TACTICS.
She Will Abandon the Internal Ex-
plosion Theory Regarding
the Maine.

New York, March PA dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says:
The Spanish inquiry into the Maine
disaster has gone to pieces in seeking
to establish the accident theory. This
admission is privately made in govern
ment circles. The nature of the boards
report will not be changed. The expIo-
sion will be charged to unknown causes,
but the Spanish finding will be with
view of making the case to be passed
on by a. third party. The work of their
divers has not been thorough, yet ap-
parently, they have found so little evil
dence on which theory of inter
nal explosion can be based that the
Spanish cOrtes is not willing to stand
unequiVOcally on the theory of accident
which it set out to maintain. These
facts have been known for three or four
days.
This may account for statements
from Madrid that the Maine accident
will not be a cause of war between the
two countries, and also for hints at ar
bitrating the disputed question of fact.
This talk is semi-Official. The Spanish
authorities realize the imprObability of
successfully contrOVerting the case,
which will be presented when the re
port of Capt. Sampson and his associ-
ates on the American board of inquiry
is published
They have had an inkling that the
evidence on which an external explosion
due to foul play-wiu be charged, is
meant to satisfy not simply American
people, but the Judgment OF experts
throughout the world. How strongly
this conclusion of the American board
is fortified, will soon be known
The cue received from Madrid is to
have a counter-case ready so that sus-
pension of the worlds judgment can be
asked until diplomacy can arrange
satisfactory settlement. The evident
hope of Blanco's government is to keep
the Maine incident entirely distinct
from other Cuban questions. NOtwith-
standing this lack of confidence in their
own theory of accident. it cannot be
learned that the authorities are doing
anything to uncover the cOnspirators
responsible for the blowing up of the
Maine.
More Importance is given to the final
effort of radical autOnOmistS to negotiate
with Gomez and the insurgent leaders
on new basis than its certain outcome
warrants. The chief interest is in the
knowledge that the negotiations are, in
fact. Blanco's, and that if they are en-
tertained in any form, they will be
clothed with a full official character. A
few officials profess confidence that Co
mez and the other inSuTgent leaders
will at least permit the propositions to
be made. and will then dictate their
own terms under which SPANS flag
may remain
No ground, whatever, exists for this
delusion. Gomez has already given an
indication of his answer. The insurgents

P1NKERToN's INDIGNANT.
Because Accused of REASONABLE Acts
Which Might Mean Hanging.

Chicago, March 21.-Mr. VIM. Pinker-
ton of Pinkerton's National Detective
agency denounced today as grossly
malicious and tending to Great an un-
justifable prejudice the statements
that employees of the agency were fer
reting out the secret defenses of our
government and furnishing the infor-
nation to the Spanish He said the
agency had never been employed for
any such purpose and under no consid-
Grafton would it accept employment
from the Spanish or any other govern
ment to furnish information regarding
any matter connected with the United
States government.
AS to the filibustering expeditions,
the employment of the agency, he said,
was for the sole purpose of gathering
information for the United States gov
ernment which would enable it to pre-
vent the breaking of the neutrality
laws for which our government might
be liable, as England was held respon-
sible in the Geneva arbitratiO
The employment of the Pinkerton de-
tectives was known to the authorities
at Washington and the cooperation of
the PinkertOns was sought by the
United States district attorneys, Uni
ted States marshals, commanders of
war vessels and other government
agents who were on guard, to stop
these unlawful expeditions.

JUMPS IN THE RIVER.
First Leap From New Bridge
Made by a Drunken Man.

A man with unsteady step and droop-
ing head walked down Kansas avenue
Saturday night. He seemed despond-
ent and he attracted the attention of
the passers by but he took no heed of
what was going on around him. He paid
no attention to the brilliant shop win
dows and occasionally he would run
against some person, humble his ex-
cuse and keep on his journey. He kept
on until he came to the bridge He
walked to the center of the bridge,
climbed on top of the railing, jumped
and disappeared in the water below.
Several people saw him jump and rush
ed to the railing. All they could see
was small whirlpool and in the center
a mans hat floating. Before boat
could be gotten the man rose to the
surface and struck out as if to swim.
He made no headWay and he started to
go down for the second time. His feet
touched bottom and fortunately he
stood chest deep in the water.
Wade out" yelled some one and the
man took the advice and Waded to the
shore He crawled up on the bank,
wet and muddy He gained the top OF
the bank before any one reached there
and disappeared in the alley. No one
knew his name.
Sunday, Frank Brown, a we'll to do
farmer, appeared at the police station
He had been arrested Saturday for be-
ing drunk. He had been locked up un-
til he was sober and then he had been
allowed to go by Sergeant Donovan
with promise that he would drink no
more
what is the matter with your col
Iar?' asked Jailer Dagg. Browns col
lar was wilted. The clothes he wore
were not the same ones he had on when
arrested.

Il don't know. I was walking across
the bridge. The first thing I knew I
went up into the air and the next thing
knew I was in the water trying to get
