isting anarchy. Spain has not cited

gestion Of independence. but inter-
vention to prevent anarchy. and not
to acquire the territory. 1t leaves
the reorganization Of the government
to the inhabitants. The message
makes no specific recommendations.

THREE MORE BODIES
 DUG FROM THE RUINS
List of Victims of the Detroit Theater Disaster Now Numbers
 Eleven.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 6.-Three more victims were to-day dug from the ruins of the New Wonderland building, which co1lapsed yesterday afternoon. This makes the death list so far eleven. The bodies recovered to-day were identified as those of Peter Pfeifle, carpenter; Frank Wolf. timer, and Max Pett, who was Wolfs helper.
 All the injured at the hospitals were to- day reported improving, except Edward Fischer. who is expected to die.
 A mass-meeting of representative citi- zens was held at noon in the Mayor s office and over 5000 was subscribed for the relief of the families of those who were killed. The loss on the property was estimated to-day for the first time. It is believed that S1020 900 will cover 1t.
 What caused the catastrophe Is stiil un- known and probably will be until the CoroneTs inquest next week. A promin- ent local architect in an interview to-day stated that he did not believe in the the ory that the steel work was faulty, but said he did believe that it was not heavy enough.
 All three bodies discovered to-day were in the center. of the building, buried un- der tons of debris. Frank Wolf was found strangled to death by a heavy steel g1rder which lay across his throat. Both the her bodies were frightfully mangled. In addition to those known to be dead there are still missing Fred Miller, Charles Mielke and o. Mullin.

RAVAGES OF SMALLPOX
 IN H0LGUIN DISTRICT

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-General Wood, commanding at Santiago de Cuba, has sent a cable dispatch to the Central Cuban Relief Association which reads: "I find in Holguin district, just evacu- ated by the Spaniards, long standing smallpox scattered throughout the dis trict and am making every efrort 10 stamp it out pr. Woodson of the army is in charge of the work. Please send him to Gibara by first Government transport 1000 cots and 200 half-ounce bottles of vaccine lymph"
 Agent Warner of the Red Cross, who reached Gibara in the latter part of September on the schooner Mary E. Morse. reported on his arrival the ter rible spread of smallpox, which had been raging unchecked for long time, and called for vaccine virus. Enough for 1000 vaccinations was at once. sent, as well as a quantity of quinine. The facts were telegraphed to General Wood in reply to his message and he was told that the supplies asked for would be sent to the Red Cross agent at Gibara for Dr. Woodson's use.

SPAIN WILL SIGN PEACE
 TREATY UNDER PROTEST

LONDON, Nov. 7.-The Madrid cor respondent of the Daily Mail says: Spain will sign the peace treaty under protest.
 The Vienna correspondent of the Times, commenting upon the irritation of the German press over the attitude of the United States toward the Phil ippine question, says: Tt has but lit tie importance and is only likely to ex- cite the scorn and defiance of the Americans and tend to confirm them in their determination to keep the Phil ippines.'' The Framdenblatt, in a temperate article that gives the Ger man papers an example of impartial ity, recognizes that 1t is purely ques- ton for the Americans to decide for themselves.
 The Berlin correspondent of the Times after giving extracts from an- other longer and violent article in the Kolnische Zeitung. declares that the fate of the Philippines cannot be a matter of indifference to Germany, and expresses the opinion that such utter ances will only stiffen the attitude of the United States.
 The Berlin correspondent of the Standard says: The semi-official pa- pers have received a hint to stop their attacks upon America. l have good reason to believe, however, that Ger many will doff her reserve so soon as other powers seek a share In the spells of the Philippines.
