ference report on the bill extending

Allen (Dem., Miss.) called attention
to the fact that when he first came to

and many of them did SO at great pc

ban army, dated at Mayajlgua, Feb. 3.

There is no truth in the report that
I had crossed the trocha into CANA
guey. Our camp is in the Sanctl
spiritus district, where it has been dur
ing the last fourteen months. Our
forces have been very active since the
PRONUNCIATION of autonomy by the
Spanish government. We see in. 1t
Spains weakness, and feel now more
sanguine of our success than ever be-
fore. Autonomy has had the advan-
tage to rid us of some of the undesir-
able element in our ranks We trust
1t may serve to still purge our army of
men of the ilk of Masso. Parret, Gu
ervo and other majases.

voy three days ago and captured 30

Washington Feb. 15.-Senor Dupuy
de LONE, late Spanish minister, left
Washington at four o'clock this after
noon on the congressional limited for
New York. When asked IL he had
anything to say on the eve of his de-
parture he answered with only u final
good bye" Senior pubosic, the
Spanish charge daffnires. was busy at
the legation office today with extended
communications received from Mad
rid. These did not relate to the recent
incident. The legation IL now turning
its attention to other subjects, mainly
to the new commercial treaty between
Spain and the United States. The in
structions now received will permit
Mr. Dubosie to proceed with the ne
gotiations on that subject and II is
hoped that these will proceed rapidly
toward completion.
Up to noon today Mr.. Dubosie had
not been officially advised from Mad
rid of the appointment OF Senior Lois
Polo Bernabe as minister at Washing
ton. He is well known among the
officials here, coming from a family of
diplomats and having had an extend
ed diplomatic service himself II is
thought that the fact that he WINS chief
OF the commercial section OF .he for
eign office accounts for his choice, as
this position has given him accounts
I'm the commercial negotiations now
approaching the final stage.

to Get Others.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 15.-The south
wall of the Union Storage company
building, which was destroyed in the
big fire last Wednesday, fell shortly
after IL o'clock today.
A number of boys were at play about
the ruins and 1t is believed that at
least five were caught by the falling
wall and buried under the debris.
The news caused great excitement as
1t was first reported that ten men had
been killed. This was untrue. The ex-
tent of the accident is not yet known.
Samuel Lewis, colored man. and
Charles Cramer, q boy, were taken out
alive. They We're not dangerously
hurt. Young Cramer says number of
his companions were caught under the
wall. A large force is clearing the
debris. Parts of the wall still standing
are in an extremely dangerous condi-
ton and the searchers are in danger
of being buried.
At 1880 pm. the search was aban-
doned and the workmen ordered from
the ruins account of the dangerous
walls and the uncertainty OF finding
any one alive in the wreckage. No
more work will be done until the
threatening walls have been torn
down.
