Washington, Feb. 1.-THE official
copy of the peace treaty with Spain,
bearing the signatures of the Spanish

was ratified by the senate last Mon
day, as certified by Vice-President
Hobart, was signed by the president
and Secretary Hay at 2:35 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, in the library of the
executive mansion.
There was little formality observed.
although a number of persons were
present by invitation of the president.
While signing the document the
president and the secretary of state
sat at the round table, in the center OF
the library. The pen was an ordinary
gold one, which the president fire.
quently uses in his official work. Tha
ceremony occupied only few minutes,
and at its conclusion Secretary Hay
replaced the document in its crimson
velvet case, and took it to the state de-
partment for transmission to Madrid.
Beside the president there were
present Mrs. Mckinley, Secretary Hay
and daughters, Mr.. and Mrs. J. J.

DEATH IN AN AVALANCHE.
The Bodies OF Eleven Victims Recovered
Thirteen Still Buried Beneath the
Mountains of Snow.

Denver, Col, Feb. IA special to
the News from Georgetown, Col, says:
The most terrible and disastrous
snowslide ever known in Clear Creek
county occurred at Silver Plume, four
miles from here, at eight o'clock yes
terday morning. The slide started two
miles away and came with terrific
force. carrying along huge boulders
and immense trees. \ short distance
from the starting point the avalanche
parted, one section coming down Cher
okee gulch, taking with it two cabins
occupied by Italians and the shaft
house of the Cary City mine. The
other slide came down William gulch,
between the Pelican and the Seven
Thirty mines. The latter did the most
damage.
Settlements of miners, mostly ItaI-
ians. were situated in both gu1ches
For week or more the inhabitants
have moved from place to place to es-
cape the threatened disaster should the
mountain OF snow start down the
mountain side. Some fingered in their
homes and were carried away in the
slide yesterday. 1t is estimated that
13 bodies are still buried beneath the
piles of snow in the two gulches
Eleven have been taken out dead.

THE SAMOAN TROUBLE.
n New Phase and One Likely to Brins
About Adjustment ON Entirely
New Grounds,

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Samoan
trouble is assuming a somewhat new
phase, according to the view of leading
diplomatic authorities, and one likely
TO bring about adjustment on lines
not heretofore contemplated. This is
in part foreshadowed in the official
statement of the parliamentary secre-
tary in the house of commons Thurs
day to the effect that further informa-
ton would be awaited before consider
ing the recognition of Mataafa as king
of Samoa. Mataafa is not the claim
ant who has thus far received the sup
port of the British and American au-
-thorities, as they have upheld Malietoa
Tanus, who had been declared by Chief
Justice Chambers, an American, as
Fightfully entitled to the throne.
While the announcement in the house
of corAmons is open to various inter-
pretations, yet it seems to imply quite
clearly that therecongition of Mataafa,
who was upheld by the Germans, may
he taken into consideration.

THE MILES INQUIRY.
Both the General and the Commissary
Department Preparing to Pre-
sent Their Cases.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Next to news
from the Philippines interest in the
war department centers on the 18th of
February, when the court of inquiry
to investigate Gen. Miles 'embaImed
beef charges will convene. All in
formation, even as to the court routine,
is iudiciously guarded, and officers re-
frain from expressing any opinion or
making any forecasts in the case. 1t is
well understood, however, that both
Gen. Miles and the commissary gener-
ais department are preparing a mass
of evidence which will be submitted to
the court, the one tending to sustain
Gen. Miles statements as to the char
acter of the meat furnished the army,
and the other discounting any criti-
cism of the material bought, passed
upon and issued by the commissary
department.
Both the testimony of Gen. Miles ami
of the commissary department will
consist in the main of official reports,
and will be voluminous.
Gen. Eagan is still at the war de-
partment denying himself to all Wis
itors except personal friends. He is
now relieved of the routine work of
his office, which is being transacted
by his assistants, and is free to devote
himself to correlating all of the in
formation in his possession for pre-
sentation to the court.
Col. Weston, who was appointed act
ing cO;0miSSary general when Gem
Eagan was called to answer to the
charges preferred against him before
the court-martial. is still in New York.
The last news of him received at the
department was that he had recovered
from u severe spell of illness that re-
suited from his exposure during the
Cuban campaign, but was now on
crutches, with a return of a severe at
tack of sciatica, contracted in active
service long ago in the west.

NOT A CASE OF WHITEwAsH.
All DeIinqusncIes Honestly Criticised
Idle Charges Refuted and Geo.
Miles Censured.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Members of
the cabinet declared the report of the
war commission to be in no sense n
whitewashing report. On the contrary,
it is stated, the commission has not
failed to point out where there was err
ror or fault. For instance, it has not
passed without criticism the arrange
ments made for transportation of the
troops, and it also has found some
things to have been amiss in the sup
ply of medical stores and assistance to
the troops, though it has set out the
palliating circumstances, such as the
state of unpreparedness of the eoun-
try, and the difficulty of suddenly
training green men to discharge heavy
duties.
Touching the much-discussed ques-
tion as to the character of the meat
furnished to the army the commission
declares that the food generally was
of good quality, and censuf'es Gen.
Miles for his alleged failure to ac-
quaint the war department with the
faults said by him to have been dis
covered at Porto Rico.

DESTRUCTIVE FLAMES.
A Book Store Fire Causes the Loss of
More Than Half a Million
Dollars.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-The five-story
brick building at the northwest corner
of Wabash avenue and Madison street,
occupied by the book and stationery
firm of A. C. McClurg & Co., was, with
it's contents, totally destroyed by fire
yesterday, entailing loss of nearly
$65O,OOO, of which $500,OO0 was on the
stock. McClurg & Co. carried one of
the largest stocks of rare old books
and manuscripts outside of the great
libraries, including many volumes
which can not be replaced. All these
were lost.
The fire was started by an explosion
of gas, which leaked from pipe Oh
the third floor, and spread with amaz-
ing rapidity. Before the first engine
arrived flames were pouring from the
second, third and fourth-story win
dows, and in very short time the
floors commenced to fall in and the
walls to bulge.
The firemen, from the first, had nc
hope of saving the building. and di-
rected their efforts to preventing the
flames spreading to Mandel Brothers
dry goods store across the alley. Con-
siderable difficulty was experienced
by them at first on account of the low
water pressure, many of the hydrants
being partly frozen up, and it was
nearly 20 minutes after the fire broke
out that the pressure was great
enough to carry the streams to the
third story.
To add to the difficulty of the situa-
ton, the temperature was several de-
grees below zero, and bitter north
wind was blowing. Many of the fire
men were severely frostbitten. About
two hours after the fire started the
Madison street wall fell out, tons of
red-hot brick crashing into the street
and breaking many plate glass WIN
dows on the opposite side. Several fire.
men had narrow escapes from being
caught.
Mandel Brothers suffered a loss of
about $4,000, chiefly from water, their
basement being flooded. Other losses,
consisting of broken plate glass and
damage by smoke and water, will
probably amount to S2.50O. McClurg's
stock was insured for about S350,oOO.

Manila, Feb. 10, 7:40 p. NTH.
American forces at $40 this afternoon
made a combined attack upon Caloo-
can, and reduced it in short order.
At signal from the tower of De ia
Iona church, the United States doIl-
bIc-turreted monitor Monadnock
opened fire from the bay, with the big
guns of her fore turret on the earth
works with great effect.
Soon after the Utah battery bonn
barded the place from the land side.
The FiIipinos reserved their fire un-
til the bombardment ceased, when they
fired volleys of musketry as the Mon
tana regiment advanced on the jungle
The Kansas regiment, on the ex
treme left, with the Third artillery de-
ployed to the right, charged across the

cheering under a heavy fire.
Supported by the artillery at tbs
church, the troops further advanced
driving the enemy, fighting every foot
right into the town line, and penetrat-
ed the Presidential, and lowered the
Filipino flag at $50 p. m.
The enemy's sharpshooters, in the
jungle on the right, fired at long range
on the Pennsylvania regiment but they
were soon silenced by shrapnel
shells, and the Pennsylvanians re.
snained in the trenches.
As the Americans advanced they
burned the native huts.
The rebels were moved down like

THE LATEST FROM MANILA.
Gen. Otis Report-Filipino Ponies-Trust-
ing Everything TO Gen. Otis-No
News from IIoiIo.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Up to the
close of Office hours yesterday Gen.
Otis sent no news to the war depart
ment indicating any further conflicts
with the natives. He had a few casual
ties TO report, these in answer to in
<1uiries from anxious friends of indi.
vidual soldiers, and he gave notice to
the department that he had been
obliged to buy a large number OF
horses to supply the transportation
needed, owing to the 1engthening of
the American line. These horses, So
called, are really the little native
ponies, which, it is said at the war de-
partment, have been found to be the
best animals for pack and draught
purposes that can be secured. Some big
American horses have been taken to the
islands by the troops, but they have
taken sick and died. and altogether
have proven to be wholly unfit for the
climate. On the other hand, Gen. Otis
reported that he has mounted several
troops of cavalry on the little native
ponies with good results.
The same state of affairs still holds
good. with respect to the instruction
of Gen. Otis. Secretary Alger said yes
tertlay afternoon that he had not sent
any instructions since the beginning
of hostilities and would send none.
He fully expects that Otis will make no
terms with Aguinaldo. while the lat
ter is armed, and that condition pre-
cedent to dealing with him at all is
the return of the insurgents to their
nd hoc nf 4ha1r
Certainly Gen. Otis is not expected to
take any action that will amount to
the recognition of the insurgents as =
foe to be treated with on the basis OF
AN independent nation.
There was also an absence of news
from Iloilo.

DUEL II A REST AuRAHT.
The Aggressor the Only One Injured.
Though a Dozen Shots Were
Fired in "a Crowd.

Atlanta. Ga, Feb. ia special 10
the Constitution from Admission, Ala,
says:
Trouble that has been brewing for
some time between Col. David G. Col
son and First Lieut.. e. D. Scott of the
Fourth Kentucky regiment, culminat-
ed at n late hour last night in a
pitched battle, in which Col. Colson
was shot in the hip and Lieut. Scott
and many others had narrow escapes.
The encounter occurred in the Mann
mouth restaurant. conducted by Percy
Olmstead, about midnight Lieut.,
Scott was sitting ut table eating with
friend, Lieut.. Brakeman, of the sans
regiment, when Col. Colson entered.
He walked over near the two men at
the table, and after looking at them
few seconds, stepped up and pulled
Lieut.. Blakeman's ear, at the SANG
time applying a vile epithet Lieut.
Scott declared that Lieut.. Brakeman
was his friend and he would not al
low him to be insulted. At this Col
Colson drew pistol, and Lieut.. Scott
rose from his chair with a pistol in
each hand.
There We're quite n number of men
in the the place, and while some say
they do not know who fired first. sew,
eral declare that Col. Colson opened
the fight. Probably dozen shots were
fired before the astounded onlookers
could stop the fusillade. Lieutenants
Mckay and Phelps. of the Fourth
Wisconsin, on duty with the provost
guards, were in the room, and imme,
diately took steps to bring the engage,
ment to an end.
Lieut.. Phelps ran up to Lieut.. Scott
and demanded his pistols. The latter
said he willingly relinquished them to
the proper authorities, and gave them
up. Lieut.. Mckay, in the meantime,
had ordered Col. Colson to disarm, but
taken from him by force Quickly as
flash Col. Colson drew another weapon
and fired, some say at Lieut.. Scott and
others say Mckay, but without effect
The provost lieutenant then bent his
efforts towards getting Col. Colson's
pistol, and in doing so he struck Col.
Colson twice with his fist, bruising
him badly. AS though by miracle
Col. Colson was the only man injured
in the engagement. He announced that
he was wounded, and was carried to
an upstairs room, where physicians
were summoned to look after his in
iuries. \ bullet had entered his hip,
and ranged around to the rear, where
it was located and extracted.
Col. Colson was furious, and mad,
frantic efforts to get up and secure
his pistols. 1t was some time before
he could be quieted. \ friend of Col.
Colson swore out a warrant for Lieut..
Scott, and he was arrested yesterday.
Both officers have many warm person
al friends in the regiment. which was
mustered out Saturday. AS the trou-
BILE has been brewing for some time
and a strong and bitter feeling had
been arounsed between the two fac
tions, it was feared that there might
be further trouble. and the entire pro.
vost guard was ordered out. Owing tc
the lateness of the hour. however, few
people knew of the affair until morn
ing, and the services of the guard were
not needed
