ing with it two cabins occupied by Ital-
inns and the shaft house OF the Cary

down Willehan Gulch, between the

The latter did the most damage.

YANKTON Is. d., Feb. PA most
horrifying fire occurred this morning at

The cottage was erected of stone and
granite walls and wooden interior, and
was used for laundry purposes. Ow-
ing to the crowded condition of the
main building forty female patients
were placed in the laundry basement
The fire originated in the dry room Of
the laundry Here there was coil of
steam pipes, and the theory is that
either fine particles similar to lint set
tied on the pipes and ignited, or that
clothes that were thici1ly hung close

source of water was an artesian well,
400 feet distant, pipes for pumping
which ran through the cottage. The in
tense heat soon caused these pipes to
burst, thus leaving the 1iremen without
power, and dependent entirely upon the
direct pressure from the tank. But two
streams of water could be thrown on
the building, and these resulted in little
good
Fifty-two persons were in the build
ing, forty patients ana twelve attend
ants. The structure was three stories
and an attic high. There was one stair
way from the second and third floors
which led into the main halls, thus
giving but one egress for those above
the first floor Patients and attend
ants fed with terror, confusion result
ing. especially among those on the up
per floors. Many heartrending scenes
were enacted as the inmates, clad only
in their nightclothes, and barefooted,
rushed down to Al narrow flight of stairs
and finally out into the snow. The tenn
perature was % degrees below zero,
and further loss of life from freezing
was prevented alone by the prompt
work of the attendants from the main

none of their personal effects, many
losing all they possessed.
Portions of charred remains can be
seen at the bottom of the basement
which appear to be near the northeast
wall. The work of removing the re-
mains and debris will begin in the
morning. The four walls of stone still
stand, black and grim, and will make
the work of removal dangerous, as a
total collapse is liable to. occur without
a moments warning.
An inquest is now in progress. 1t IS
not thought that blame will be at

SIX SKATERS LOST.
Carried Away on Ice Floes in Lake
Michigan.

CHICAGO, Feb 12-Sixteen skaters
living in the suburbs of Rogers Park
and Lake Forest were carried out into
Lake Michigan on ice foes to-day. Ten
of them were rescued, and during the
entire evening searching parties made
fruitless efforts to secure some trace of
the missing six. The missing are:
Attorney Elmer D. Brothers, Miss Orel
Manney, II years of age; Chauncey
Manney; George Mallory, student at
Lake Forest University; Arthur F1etch-
er, Ravenswood Park; Guy Carron, stu
dent at Lake Forrest University.
All those rescued were carried ollt
on the ice off Lake Forest, and two Of
the number who ventured on the frozen
lake there are supposed to have been
drowned. The remaining three of the
sixteen were carried away on a foe off
Rogers Park and the Chicago life saw
ing crew spent the night in searching
for them. Most of the rescued were
students at Lake Forest Academy.
Attorney Brothers, who is a promi-
nent amateur photographer, had gone
out on the ice, accompanied by his
niece and nephew, to take some pictures
of the shore. He had taken several
''shots," when suddenly, half mile 10
the north, the ice broke. The vast
force exerted upon the foe near shore
caused a rapid disintegration. Before
Mr. Brothers realized his position es-
cape was impossible.
At dusk Mrs. Brothers. alarmed at
the absence of her husband, reported
to the police. Fully a mile out from
shore faint flashes of light could be
seen. Between the shore and the points
where the flashes were distinguishable
f1oated immense cakes of ice. The po-
lice officers tried repeatedly to find an
opening in the floating mass through
which boat might pass, but without
success Finally telephone calls for aid
were sent to this city. Several lifeboats
were loaded upon trains and started 10
the rescue.
Tugs were unable to make the slight
est impression upon the pack, and after
several fruitless efforts this mode of
rescue was abandoned.
Guy Carron and George Mallory had
started to walk to Waukegan on the
ice about noon. They had not passed
from sight when the change of wind
caused the icefield upon which they
wefe to break from it's mornings. They
had not reached Waukegan at mid
night, and all hope of saving them has
been abandoned.
The ten boys rescued were skating on
the smooth shore ice when it broke
away. Alarm was given at Fort Sher-
idan. and a detachment Of the Third
Cavalry quickly manned the Govern
ment lifeboat. After desperate
struggle with the floating ice they sue
ceeded in reaching the foe, and trans
ferred the skaters safely.

STORM EXHAUSTED.
Railroad Trains Moving Again ON
the Colorado Roads.

DENVER, Feb. 12.-The indications
tonight are that the storm which has
held Colorado helpless in it's embrace
for the past two weeks has exhausted
itself. To-day was pleasant in Den
yer, the sun shone almost all day, and
during the noon hours was warm
enough to melt the snow.
This change has enabled the railroad
people to prosecute the work of clear
ing their tracks of the deep snow more
vigorously, as it is announced by the
Denver and Rio Grande officials that at
4 O'Clock this afternoon they had sue
ceeded in opening the system with the
exception of the Blue River branch
from Leadville to Dillon. The road is
now clear over Marshall Pass and to-
night all Rio Grande trains will start
on schedule time. All delayed trains
are again moving without Interruption.

ALL QUIET AT MANILA.
Fears of a Native Uprising Have
Generally Subsided.

MANILA, Feb. 12-(4:5O D. m)-
Along the entire line, nothing having
happened up to this hour to disturb
the peace of Sunday in Manila, the in
habitants have generally recovered
from the alarm occasioned by the fear
of a native uprising and are resuming
their ordinary business. The shipping
interests are naturally suffering, since
there have been no clearances for Phil
ippine ports for a week, but, on the
other hand, foreign shipping has in
creased, especially for Hongkong, every
steamer bound thither being crowded
with timid refugees.
Despite this exodus. however, many
are asking whether the problem is not
far from solution. week ago those
who took up an optimistic view predict
ed that the terrible lesson just admin
istered to the rebels would settle the
question of Filipino independence. But
this prediction has not been fulfilled.
AS a matter of fact, the rebels are now
scattered throughout the country BUSH
whacking, except at Malabon, where
they are gathering in force. Even there
their methods SAVIOR more of guerrilla
than Of civilized warfare, every bush,
clump of trees and tree furnishing
cover for sharpshooters.
Unfortunately, for miles around the
land is studded with bamboo jungle
and open spaces are few and far be-
tween. This affords the natives, who
fight better under cover, distinct ad-
vantage.
Under such conditions it is remark
able that the American casualties
should be few while the number of
dead natives found in the brush after
every skirmish testifies to the precision
of our fire. Last week there was not
a single day without fighting, but that
the Americans steadily advanced, car
rying everything before them.
1t is now known that the Filipino loss
is fully $500 killed, with wounded
vastly in excess of that number and
thousands are held prisoners.
All this has been achieved at a cost
of sixty-five Americans killed and 276
wounded There were twenty-five
Americans missing and unaccounted
for. No fewer than ten of the native
villages have suffered or been captured.
Several have been destroyed because
their houses harbored men, frequently
disguised IN female attire, who shot
from windows and roofs at the Ameri-
cans. Many rifles and a. ton of ammu-
milton have been seized. AS might be
expected. there has been 1ooting in the
outskirts, but it has not been general,
and has been done in direct violation
of orders
The only incident that has broken
the quiet of the day followed the ar
rival of the German first-class cruiser
Kaiserin Augusta. When she saluted
Admiral Dewey this afternoon a re-
port spread rapidly that the American
warships were bombarding Malabon.
To-day crowds have visited the scenes
of last weeks fighting. All the roads

KENTUCKIANS FIGHT.
A Colonel and Lieutenant Engage

First Lieutenant f. D. Scott, of the
Fourth Kentucky Regiment. cuiminat-
ed at midnight last, in a pitched bat
tie, in which Colonel Colson was SHOT
in the hip and Lieutenant Scott nar-
rowly escaped.
The trouble started in a restaurant.
Lieutenant Scott declared he would not
allow his friend Blakemann to be in
insulted. AT this Colonel Colson drew
a pistol and Lieutenant Scott arose
from his chair with a pistol in each
hand. Z.
There were quite number of men
in the place and while some say they
do not know who fired first, several
declare that Colonel Colson opened the
fight. Probably dozen shots were
fired before the astounded onloolxers
could stop the fusillade Lieutenants
Mckay and Phelps. of the Fourth Wis
consin, on duty with the Provost
Guard, were in the room. Lieutenant
Phelps ran up to Lieutenant Scott and
demanded his pistols. The latter said
he willingly relinquished them to the
proper authorities and gave them up
Lieutenant Mckay, in the meantime
had ordered Colonel Colson to disarm
but he refused to do it and the pistol
was taken from him by force. Quick
as a flash Colonel Colson drew another
weapon and fired, some say at Lieu
tenant Scott, and others at Lieutenant
Mckay, but without effect, The Pro-
vost Lieutenant then bent his efforts
towards getting Colonel Colson's pistol,
and in doing so struck Colonel Colson
twice with his fist, bruising his face
very badly.
Strangely enough Colson was the only
one injured. An examination disclosed
that a bullet had entered his nip and
ranged around to the rear, where it was
located and extracted.
A friend of Colonel CoIson swore out
a warrant for Lieutenant Scott and he
was arrested to-day. Both officers
the regiment, and as further trouble
was feared, the entire Provost Guard
was ordered out. Their services were
not needed, however.
LEXINGTON (Ky), Feb. 12.-Lieu-
tenant Scott who shot and wounded
Colonel Colson at Admission, is nephew
of Governor Bradley, but the two havo
not spoken since Bradley removed
Scott's father from the Superintendencyi

is an ardent friend of Governor Bradley
and that is thought by many to have
furnished the original cause for the
quarrel.
