to walk single file over some poles,

in the city hall. Last evening closed.

was crowded to hear the addresses Of
the successful candidates. AT mid
night 26 bodies had been taken from

AT the close of the polls crowd
gathered in the city hall, where it has
been the custo m for years past for the
successful candidates to address the
electors. The building was crowded to
the very doors, probably 1900 people
being damned in its narrow scope. In
response to numerous calls, R. M.
Toothe was pushed forward to the plat
form on which the speakers stood. AS
he reached it there was an ominous
cracking and the raised platform on
winch the mayor and newly elected
aldermen were seated seemed to pitch
forward to the floor. There was sag.
glng OF tlmbers and the next moment
100 people were hurled 20 feet to the
floor below. A beam running 20 feet
along the center of the hall had given
way and the crowded mass standing
above that section of the floor was
thrown II & heap to the bottom. A
large safe stood in one corner Of the
hall and with huge steam coil weigh
ing half ton came crashing down on
the heads of the victims.
An investigation Of the wreck after
the catastrophe disclosed the fact that
whole section of the floor had dropped,
the joists having been as neatly cut off
as though the work had been done with
saw.
he building was an old one, having
been erected in the early SOS, and Of
late years additional stories had been
placed on the old walls.

The Government did not receive a

of the absent Executive. 1t was sup

were disappointed. Upon information
based upon a letter it is now thought
the President will return on the same

There is a further report on the ad-

Claim That 1t Was Illegally Secured
BY France.
NEW YORK, February 1.-THE
Suns Paris cable from H. r. Chamber
lain says: The point reached tonight
in the trial of Zola is strange para
dox. 1t is generally admitted the de-
fendant has proved his case, yet he
will probably be condemned Even the
majority OF his enemies have been con-
vinced as much by the silence Of the
army authorities when questioned as
by the direct testimony of other Wit
nesses that Dreyfus was found guilty
upon evidence secretly submitted to his
judges. 1t is admitted that this is ut
terly illegal, yet public opinion is still
so strongly perverted that this gross
outrage upon the first principles Of JUS.
tice is openly excused and defended.
and the resentment against Zola for
denouncing the authorities who are
guilty is scarcely lessened The incl
dents of the trial should not distract
attention from the astounding crisis
which has seized the public mind OF
France and which portends evils and
calamities that none can estimate. The
bald truth is this: 1t is openly admit
ted today that the prisoner on the Isle
du Diable was illegally condemned,
and the Government had full knowl-s
edge of the fact

Seriously Ill.

HAVANA, (via Key Kest), February
12.-It was resolved to open negotia-
tions with the insurgents, in the belief
that the revolution could not be sup
pressed by force of arms. Anticipating
that the insurgents would not accept
the new terms, it was resolved that the
Colonial Government would open ne
gotiations thus saving the Madrid Gov
ernment from the responsibility. The
following propositions will be formally
rendered to the insurgents:
First-The volunteers will be dis
solved and a Cuban militia formed.
Second-The insurgent colonels and
generals will be recognized.
Third-Cuba will be called on to pay
only $100,000,000 out of the 100000 900
Indebtedness due for both wars.
Fourth-Cuba will pay $2,000,000 a
year for the Grown list.
Fifth-Cuba will make her own trea-
ties, without interference by the Mad
rid Government.
Sixth-Spanish products will have
only 10 per cent. margin of protection
over similar products from other coun-
tries.
Seventh-No exiles Or deportations
will be made, even in war time, to
Spain, Africa or penal settlements else
where.
Eighth-Death sentences for rebel
lion shall be abolished.
Ninth-Martia1 law cannot be order
ed by the Captain-General without the
assent of both the House and the Sem
ate if those bodies are in session, or
without the assent of a majority OF
the Cabinet if they are not in session.
Tenth-The Archbishop of Santiago
de Cuba shall always be native Gu
ban.
Eleventh-The actual insurgent par
| ty shall have three seats in the first
| Cabinet.
Twelfth-An armistice of Is days
shall be granted for the discussion OF
| the terms of peace.
These terms are accepted by the Au-
tonomist party in full, with the excep-
tions of Seniors Galvez, Montero, Zayas
and Delonte.
