ESCAPE CUT OF.
Several Persons Burned To Death In Phil
adelphia.

Philadelphia, May 11.-Several persons
we're burned to death in q fire which
broke cut about II O'Clock today in the
wholesale toy store of McCadden Broth
ers, 6t9 Market street. When the fire
occurred there We're many persons in the
building, and escape was cut off before
all could get out Of the building. The
flames spread to the big six story build
ing occupied by the National Wall Paper
company and the Brainerd Armstrong
Spool Silk company on the west and also
to. the building occupied by the Reading
Hardware company on the east.
There were about one hundred persons
nearly all managed to make their escape
before the flames reached the upper floors.
The three bodies were found on the Sc c.
ond floor of the building and were un-
recognizable On account of the infiam-
lnable nature of the contents the big six
story structure was a mass of flame in
less than half an hour. Tho fire spread
SO rapidly that the fire department. sent
in four alarms, and in about an hour
the fire was under control. The McCad.
den building was completely destroyed
and the other two were badly damaged
The entire stock of the wall paper COM
pany and the Brainerd and Armstrong
Spool Silk company is rendered worthless
by smoke and water. The damage to the
stock of the Reading Hardware company
is nominal, but the loss on the building
amounts to about $1,000 The tirs is
supposed to have originated on the second
floor Of the McCadden Brothers building.
There was o wild rush for the elevator
and stairways and it is thought that not
more than six persons and possibly only
the three whose bodies have been recov-
cred, lost their lives. The total loss will
reach about half million.
The killed are: Miss Caldwell, type
writer for McCadden Brothers; William
McCadden, a brother OF the member OF
the firm; Michael Quinn, m employe.
Three other persons are missing, the sn.
gineer, the fireman and porter.
The fire originated from an explosion
of fire works.

With the night it comes cool, and the

shadow Of the superstruoture, gazing at

watch on deck lies about them, all ready

OF Spanish gunboats in the harbor which
come outside and are chased back. They

CUBAN STRENGTH.
The Republics Army Said to
Number 25, 900 Men.

Washington, May 16.-Con-
corning the strength of the Cuban
forces in the fe d, the Cuban re-
representatives. here say that recent
advices fully bear out all that the
Cuban authorities have ever
claimed, namely, that there are in
all about 40, 600 men either under
arms or ready to take arms as
soon as guns and ammunition are
at hand. OF this humber 1t is said
that about 15, 900 lack arms and
equipment, leaving about 20, 900
now in the field and reasonably
equipped, although additional am
munition and supplies would be
most advantageous to these lat
ter.
The immediate command of
Gomez is said to mum Der 3, 900
men, and is l3cated in the rich
Santa Clara district. Some dis
tauce away, in the province of
Santiago de Cuba, are the forces
under General Garcia, the several
bands of which are said to sggre
gate Is, 900 men. The distance
OF Garcia from Gomez is said to
make juncture between them
impracticable, as there are no
means of speedy communication.
