ROOF CAvED IN.
Fifteen Workmen Crushed to Death Be-
meath Falling Timbers.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. while work
men were engaged in the erection of
the New Wonderland theatre, the roof
collapsed, carrying down the iron gal
leries of the structure, and a great
mass of scaffolding and debris. Some
36 men were working under the col
lasped parts of the structure. Scarcely
any of these men seem to have escaped
injury. The bodies of fifteen dead men
have already been recovered Several
others are fatally injured.
AS nearly as can be ascertained the
cause of the accident was the removal
of the temporary wooden braces which
supported the roof The instant the
last one was taken down the whole
roof caved in with a crash, carrying
every thing in the interior of the build
ing to the basement with it. There
was in the building at the time of the
collapse eight carpenters, four masons,
ten plumbers, two electricians and TWO
helpers, four painters and six laborers.
Some were struck by great iron girders
and rods and dashed downward in a
bleeding mass, others pitched head
long as the supports sank from be-
meath them, falling four or five stories
and striking upon the iron debris be
low.

SPANTARDS REFUSE.
VIII Not Accept the American Proposals
Regarding the Philippines.

Paris. Nov 5.-The Spanish commits
sioners, in the course of two hours
session of the peace conference yester-
day. fatty refused to accept Mondays
proposition by the Americans to take
the entire Philippine group and to
reimburse Spain for her pacific ex-
penditures there.
This negative action was expected
The Spanish commissioners had also
number Of positive declarations, which
filed some 81 sheets of typewriter
presen tment In this statement the
Spaniards held that the United States
had DO ultimate rights in the Philip
pine islands. and could have none save
by the consent of Spain in these nego-
tiations and upon terms satisfactory to
her According to the Spanish conten-
ton in the formal statement, the Unit
ed States entertained no thought OF
annexing the Philippines when the
protocol was signed, or it would have
been expressed in the protocol as clear
ly as the conditions regarding the
cession of territory in the Antilles and
the orient NJ Cambon, before the
signature of the protocol, received from
Madrid the presentment alleged,
cable message. clearly setting forth
that the maintenance of SPANS au-
thority over the Philippines should not
be affected by the protocol. to which
reservation the United Sta ties made at
that time no protest or objection.
This dispatch to NJ. Cam bon, they
claimed, embodied also the view that
the United States had no valid basis
for claims in the archipelago. 1t was
further held that the capitulation OF
Manila having occurred after the sign
ing of the protocol, and thus after the
suspension of hostilities, was invalid.
With all this for groundwork, the
Spaniards made their first positive
m owe against the Americans, and 1t
constituted their counter proposition.
They charged upon the United States
wrongful appropriation OF puollc
moneys belonging to Spain by Selling
the tariff duties at Manila, and they
formally demand the return of these
moneys in the sum of nearly Sl,O0O,-
900. OF these same premises the United
States was declared to have made and
held as prisoners the Spanish troops at
Manila in violation of international
law, because done after the suspension
IF hostilities under the protocol.
further charge was that by the i'm
prisonment of the Spanish troops at
Manila the United States he'd pre-
vented Spain from quelling the insur-
rection. and had thus contributed to
the violence against Spain after the
cessation of hostilities.

MAY NEED TROOPS.
Serious Trouble With Aguinaldo's Forces
Hourly Expected

Washington, Nov. s.-Major Simpson
of General Merritt's staff has just re-
turned from Manila, and though per-
sonally he does not seem to fear serious
trouble with the forces of Aguinaldo.
he says there is a distinct sentiment
among the United States troops that
there may be more trouble and that
more troops may be needed. Agnin-
aldo's force is reckoned at about 10000
and Maj. Simpson freely admits that
the rebels are in control of the island
of Luzon
The recent attack on Iloilo by the
forces of Aguinaldo recalled to Maj.
Simpson the fact that Aguinaldo had
some transports and that about 500 OF
the Luzon troops had been carried to
the island of Panay
On the island of Mindanao the stu
alton is not understood, as the inhabi-
tants are mostly Mohammedans. Lit
tie or no investigation of the situation
there has been made by our army.
Back in the hills of Luzon many tribes
are almost uncivilized and have never
felt the force of either the insurgents
or Spaniards.
The fact that Aguinaldo's troops at
tackled Iloilo. according to Maj. Simp-
son, shows that Aguinaldo has not
acquiesced with the decision involved
in the fall of Manila

Flames Consume Priceless Documents of

preme Court Room a Com
plete Wreck.

Washington. Nov. Am explosion
and fire wrecked the supreme court
room and the rooms Immediately adj
joining it on the main floor of the
capitol. The damage is enormous.
The entire central-eastern part of the
great marble pile, from the main floor
to the subterranean basement, practic-
ally is mass of ruins The force of
the explosion was so heavy that the
coping stones on the outer walls, just
east of the point where the explosion
occurred, were bulged out nearly two
inches; windows in that part of the
building were blown out, ard locked
doors were forced from their hinges
quite $50 feet from the scene of it.
Fire followed the explosion soquick-
ly as to seem practically simultaneous
with it. The explosion shook the i'm
mense structure to its foundations, and
was heard several squares from the
capitol 1t occurred in a small room.
tightly inclosed by heavy stone walls,
in the subterranean basement immedi-
ately below the main entrance to the
old capitol building. In this room was
a 50O-light gas meter, which was fed
by four-inch main. Very little gas
is used in that part of the building,
but at the time of the cxplosion~the
gas had not been turned off at the me-
al cd
and, the gas pouring from the main,
caught fire. The flames originating
from the explosion darted up the shaft
of the elevator, which had been COM
pletely destroyed by the force of the
explosion, and communicated with the
record room of the supreme court, the
office of the marshal of the court and
the supreme court library. Before the
flames could be subdued the priceless
documents in the record room had been
almost totally destroyed and serious
damage had been done in the marshal's
office and some minor rooms in the
immediate vicinity.
No intelligent estimate of the money
loss by the explosion and fire can yet
be made. In the opinion of capitol
officials and mechanics who examined
the structure the loss will reach prob
ably 5000, 900 to the building. The loss
on the library and records can scarcely
be estimated in dollars and cents. A
million dollars could not replace them,
because of many of them no duplicates
are in existence.
Among the losses which will be most
sincerely regretted are those of busts
of Chief Justice Marshall and other
distinguished members of the supreme
court, which were arranged on small
pedestals about the supreme court
chamber. In the smoke and ruin
which followed the explosion these
valuable works of art were either
badly damaged or wholly destroyed,
and with their destruction the country
has suffered an irreparable loss. Many
of them have been treasured as ex-
hibits in the supreme court cham Der
for half a century.

SOWING THE WIND.

The present theatrical season will bring to this city few if any finer at fractions than the production of Sow ing the Wind,' which will be given by an excellent company at the Hyperion on Easter Monday. There will be a bargain matinee prices 25 and 50 cents only, and the play will be repeated in the evening at regular prices. This play takes rank as the great effort Of Sydney Grundy's life and is now in it's third season in this country. In New York, Chicago and other large cities, it was the theatrical sensation of the year 1884, and it's popularity is still as great as ever. It selects from the two sexes an able champion and rep resentative of each, and puts them against each other in one of the fiercest and most relentless intellectual con- f1icts ever depicted on the stage. The battle cry is Sex Against Sex'' and man and woman were never mere splendidly matched against each other. The final scene between these two prin- cipal characters is one long to be re- membered. The complications Of the plot are few and the interests continu- ally center in the issue between the old man Brabazon and Rosamond. Ad- vance sale of seats opens Friday.

HypFTTUH WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES.

WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES.
 "What Happened to Jones'" George H. Broadhurst's three-act farce, will be presented at the Hyperion tomorrow and Saturday evenings. There will be a matinee on Saturday. This company is now apeparing in Springfield and the Springfield Union says:
 A crowd that filled all the seats and most of the standing room greeted the farce, What Happened to Jones'" at the Nelson theater last evening. Good as the farce made decided hit and afforded wholesome food for many a hearty laugh. The cast is good. MT. Babcock is, of course, the center of most that happens. His facial expres- sion is excellent and he assumes so well the coolness and effrontery Of the hymn book drummer that he might be very dange1ous on the road. His physique is good and he looks well in the "cloth." Miss Burg put much vii vacity into her part and looked very well as Cissy. She has bright laugh, which she uses often. Ebenezer Good ly as given by Leonard Grover affords a good character sketch, and the pro- fesor enters into much of the action. Charles Kent made a digni1ed bishop, and, with Ernest Lamson in the part of the lunatic from next door, who imagined himself an Indian, made much amusement in the ghost dance and the ensuing events. The parts of the daughters were taken by Ttose Stewart and Kate Dale, that of Mar tories fiancee by Edward D. Tyler, and Helma, the Swedish girl, by Mathilda Cottrelly. Kate Denim Wilson made a funny part of Alvira Starlight, Mrs. Goodly's spinster sister, who was in love with the bishop.
