IN SAN JOSE JAIL.
Sixteen Year-old Ruby Felis May Be
Sent to the Whittier Reform
School,

SAN JOSE, Oct. 25-Ruby Felis, 16-
year-old Spanish girl, has been charged
with grand larceny, in the stealing of a
bicycle. A few days ago the girl asked
Jim Lee, a Chinese. to lend her his BIZ
cycle. When he refused she mounted the
wheel and rode off. Later she gave the
bicycle TO a young man, who cannot be
found. The girl to-day confessed to Cap
tain Of Police Newberry that she had
stolen two other wheels, and the police
believe she is responsible for the thefts of
many bicycles. She was arraigned before
Justice Cobb to-day and her preliminary
examination is set for November g In
the meantime she is in Jail in default Of

bicycles, but the charges were subse-
cUently dismissed.

Cured to-day in the business sec
ton of the city. The number Of injured
is not known definitely, but fully a score
of victims were located at various hos
pitals. Policemen and firemen are to-
night delving in the ruins in search of
bodies supposed to have been buried be-
meath the debris, it is feared that 9TH
ers besides the known dead may have lost
their lives in the flames. The buildings
destroyed were the eight-story structure
at 1919 and 1921 Market street, occupied
by Hunt, Wilkinson & Co., upholsterers
and furniture dealers, and three-story
buildings occupied by small merchant
men. The big furniture building extended
back half a block to Commerce street,
and was owned by Henry Clea.
Starts With an Explosion.
AT 1920 o'clock this morning the blaze
broke forth in the building occupied by
Hunt, Wilkinson &c Co. 1t is said that an
explosion of naphtha or gasoline in the
basement was the cause, but this is denied
by Wilkinson, who says there never was
a sufficient quantity of either explosive
about the building to be responsible for
to-day's disaster. Rumor has it also that
an elevator constructor at work In the
basement permitted the flame Of his Ian.

flagration.

building faces on Commerce street,

at this end of the building two and
one woman were slowly roasted to death,
while the horror-stricken throng on the

driven to desperation, leaped from a
window on the top floor and was dashed
to death on the pavement.
Seventy-nine Of the hundred persons in
Hunt, Wilkinson & Co.'S building wnen
the fire started were employees and the
remainder were customers, and outside
were the workmen who were engaged in
putting the finishing touches on the new
eighth floor. More than half Of the
firm s employees were on the upper five
floors, and it was among these that the
greatest number were killed and injured.
With the possible exception Of the en-
gineer, who is missing, all the persons
on the first three noors got out of the
building safely. The members of the firm

Bu|IerS Mistakes.
American Officers
Talk Plainly

Captain S. l.. H. Slocum, of the eighth
cavalry, acho was United States Military
Attacbe with the British forces in South
Africa, is of opinion that the war could
have been closed after the relief OF lady
smith. :.
Referring to General Butler, Captain
Slocum says: -"The army remained at
Kronstad, General Butler occupied New
castle in Natal. The slOwness of General
Buffers advance in Natal since the relief
of Ladysmith, over two and one half months
previous, is inexplicable."
Stars are inserted at this point, showing
that the censor of the War Department
deemed it inexpedient to give publicity to
Captain Slocum's comments.
The report continues:-"Had General
Butler advanced and struck north into the
Yransvaal until lie reached the Delagda
Bay railroad he woul dave cut the Boer
line of retreat and supply and, l believe,
compelled in conjunction with Lord Roberts
advance, President Kruger and the Boer
forces to surrender"
