SPAIN FACES A CRISIS.
The Revolutionary Element Is Ac-
tive in Many Parts of the
Kingdom.

Madrid, Feb. 22.-According to Fri
day mornings advices from Barcelona
the situation there is improving,
though it is still threatening. An
effort will be made Friday to resume
ordinary avocations.
The most stringent measures have
been prepared to protect traffic and
business. The strikers have few rifles,
but were well supplied with revolvers
and daggers.
Forty persons have been killed since
the disturbances broke out here. The
strikers Thursday attacked the Jail,
in an attempt to rescue their impris-
oned comrades, but they were re-
pulsed by the troops, after a number
of rioters had been killed or wounded.
The ordinary necessaries of life are
failing and the distress is becoming
accentuated. The strikers are said
to be receiving large sums of money
from London.

sANITARIUM BURNED.
Big Institution Mt Battle Creek Re-
duced to Ashes-All Inmates Saved
But One-Loss Is Heavy.

Battle Greet, Mich, Feb. 10.-The
Kellogg, or Seventh Day Adventist,
sanitarium here, which was located
on hill at the highest point in the
city, was destroyed by fire early
Tuesday.
The total property loss will reach to
nearly half million dollars, divided
as follows: Main building, $250,000;
hospital, $125,OOO; furniture, ETC., $685.
600; loss to guests, $4,000. The in
surance OH the sanitarium property is
placed at 100000.
In two hours the building was in
ruins and the hospital was destroyed.
1t is almost miraculous that the 400
sleeping inmates escaped with their
lives. Watchmen darted through the
corridors awakening them when the
fire was discovered. Few of them
had time to gather together any
clothing, escaping in their night
clothes.
1t is now supposed that one life was
lost. The missing man is Abner Case,
aged SO, of Bath, N. Y. Mrs Case, who
was az IilC Sdullal loHi Nllil iiCl II 10
band, escaped. She said she supposed
the nurse who was attending her hus-
band succeeded in getting him out.
Thrilling escapes were many. Ira
D. sankey, the well-llnown evangelist,
and his wife were nearly burned to
death. Mr.. Sanlley was on the ground
floor in the office of the building when
he was notified that the floors above
were on fire. He rushed upstairs to
rescue Mrs. sankey, and succeeded in
getting safely back with her, though
they were barely able to make their es-
cape down the stairways before the
flames closed behind them. A great
many of the evangelist's manuscripts,
which he was preparing for publica-
ton, were destroyed, with all his per-
sonal effects. The guests, with few
exceptions, lost everything, very few
even saving wearing apparel. All the
schools, resorts and public and pri-
vate buildings in the city were thrown
open to them and all are comfortably
housed The board of managers of
the sanitarium met Tuesday morning
and unanimously decided to rebuild as
soon as possible. Meantime the work
of the institution will be carried on in
the other buildings and cottages
owned by the company.

Notice to the Public.

At meeting of the school board
of school district No. 5, held May 81,
1902 on account of the lack of school
room, and lack of funds for the en-
suing year, it was ordered that no
pupils from outside the district could
be accommodated next year except
on the payment of tuition. The tut
ton was fixed at $40 for the school
year, to be paid in advance, half at
the beginning of the school year,
half at the beginning of the second
term after the holidays. Pupils re-
siding outside of the district will not
be admitted to the schools except on
producing a receipt from the clerk
for the tuition as stated above.
This action is taken not from any
1esire to exclude outside pupils from
the schools, but because the school
buildings are overcrowded and there
is not sufficient room to accommo
cate the pupils belonging in the dis
trict
