A CAPITOL CLEANUP
Made Necessary by the Explosion Last
Sunday

WASHINGTON, Nov S.-The work of
clearing the capitol of the wreck of Sunday
fire is being carried forward rapidly by a
large force of workmen. The heavy stone
arch under the fine room of the United
States supreme court has been settling stead
lily for the last two days and it was decided
today to tear it out and rebuild this section
of masonry. 1t is difficult operation, how
ever as the room above is loaded with the
valuable old records of the supreme court
which may be dumped in an nextricable
confusion if the sustaining arch is removed.
Boat hooks will be used tomorrow to draw
the files from the room as it is considered
dangerous to enter the room and the re-
building of the arch will then proceed As
sistant Architect Wood has made an exam
nation confirming his first view that the
main foundations of the capitol are unn-
jured.

M'CALLA IS SENT TOStE
TUG POTOMAC IS ALSO ORDERED
TO MAKE SEARCH
NAVAL CONSTRUCTORS IDEA
For Believing the Cruiser Has Drifted
Ashore and May Yet Be
Saved
Associated Press Special Wire


WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-A message re-
ceived at the navy department from captain
Croninshield, chic tot the bureau OF navlSa-
ton, who is in New York, called attention
to the report that the Spanish cruiser Maria
Teresa had been seen oil Cat island. Inc
captain expressed his belief in the accuracy
of the report and suggested to the depart
ment that the repair ship Vulcan, now at
Norfolk, be sent to make search Tor the
derelict. The department acted at once upon
the suggestion. n telegram was sent 10 the
commandant OF the Norfolk navy yard di-
recting him to place the Vulcan IN command
of Captain McCalla, the captain OF the yard,
and send her with all dispatch to look Tor
the Teresa.
A similar order was cabled to captain
Converse at Guantanamo, directing nm
to send the wrecking tug Potomac from that
place northward on the same quest. She
goes in charge of j. Y. Craven, and the de-
partment believes that she will be IN the
vicinity of Cat island within thirty-slx
hours.
The Vulcan was one of the vessels which
was towing the Teresa when she was sup
posed to have foundered and the department
believes that she will reach the scene OF the
wreck in about forty eight hours after leav-
ing Norfolk.
Cat island lies about thirty miles south
west of the spot where the Teresa was last
seen and it is said at the department that If
the vessel did not founder outright within
very few hours after having been cut adrltt,
she would almost certainly have fetched up
on the shoal beach off Cat island, for the
wind and tide set directly on that beach. Ii
SO. the location is much more favorable tor
saving the ship than the position occupied
by her off Santiago where the bottom was
covered with rocks and the wreckers worked
at great disadvantage. Captain McCalla
was selected for the task because of his
great energy and ability for this particular
class of work, and the officers declare that
if any man can bring the Teresa into port he
can.
1t is believed by naval constructors that
the Teresa took water aboard almost alto
gether through the decks and not through
the hull. as would appear from the first ac-
counts of the loss of the vessel. The decks
were rude temporary constructions and were
entirely unsuitable for rough weather. The
fact that the reports indicate that the ship
settled by the head and that water ran into
the coal bunkers and thence into the fire
rooms goes to bear ont the constructors
theory. 1t also tends to give color to the re-
port that the ship may not have toundered.

A CALL FROM COILS
Mr.. Huntington Has Some Business
With Mckinley

WASHINGTON, Nov S.-Colis P Hunt.
ington was closeted with the President for
an hour yesterday. In response to a re-
porter's query, he said:
81 came here to see the President, and
pay my respects to him. That was all there
was in connection with the visit that care
to tell about"
Most people guessed that he had two
errands with the President, and that one
of them referred to the coming action by the
government on the debt of the Central Pa
cific road, and the other had reference to
Nicaraguan Canal affairs.
Huntington's connection with the new con-
cession for the construction of the Nicaragua
Canal is considered most dangerous thing
about the grant. Huntington talked with
the President about this, too, and this makes
the third explanation which President Nc
Kinley has heard within week. The first
came from Warner Miller, the second from
Thomas Hitchcock, and the third from
Huntington. With all this explaining, no
man in America can tell today whether a
scheme is on foot for killing the canal project
altogether, or whether it will assuredly be
built

SPAINS COMMISSION
NOT ANXIOUS TO BREAK OFF
NEGOTIATIONS
Foreign Holders of Spanish Bonds
Take the First Step Toward Col
lecting the Securities

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The advices
that have come to hand so far from the COM
mission at Paris are said to be rather en-
couraging than the reverse, and there is a
disposition here to agree to the statement
rather curiously made by the Spanish cab
met in that there will be three or four more
meetings of the joint commissions. This is
taken as an indication that the Spaniards
themselves are not looking for a break in
the negotiations, but they rather expect a
peaceful conclusion in a short time.
The foreign bondholders have at last
moved formally to protect their interests in
Cuba and Porto Rico. The initial steps
have been taken through the agency of the
French embassy, which in this case acts no
longer as the representative of the Spanish
government, but for French subjects.
Through the embassy most formidable
statement has been presented to the state
department, being an account of the various
Spanish bonds owned by French citizens
chargeable against the territories either
seized or set free by the act of the United
States government. The sum total of these
bonds runs up far into the millions. Just
what it is expected shall be done with them
is not clear. The United States govern
ment, of course, will not pay them, but it
may be that the French government looks
to it to cause the independent government
of Cuba to assume liability for the redemp-
ton of the bonds charged against that island
when that government shall have been duly
installed by the act of the United States
government. 1t is probable that other
holders of like bonds, German and British
will take similar steps to have their claims
brought through their diplomatic represen-
tatives to the attention of the United States
government, and it may even be that the
holders OF such bonds in Spain, though
Spanish citizens, will take a like course,
which would present novel claim upon the
generosity of the United States government

now ready, uniformed and drilled. well
mounted and armed, to do the work. Today
twenty men under command of lieutenant

his companions are staying, with orders to
bring them all in, dead or alive. The opin
ion here is that if Matamore is not sup.
pressed he will soon have between one and
two hundred recruits, but now that the pur.
pose of the authorities is known it is not
expected that many will join him.

spoke as soothingly as possible, but her
