A MASS OF VRECKAGE.
Four Business Houses at Detroit,
Mich, Collapsed.
Had the Terrible Catastrophe Hap
pened During Business Hours the
Loss of Life Would Have
Been Appalling.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 2O.-Four build
ings, each four stories high, located
in the heart of the wholesale district
of this city, collapsed at $50 o'clock
Sunday night without any apparent
cause, and all that now remains is a
heap of ruins. The buildings were a
part of the block bounded by Jeffer-
son avenue and Shelby and Griswold
streets, and were occupied by five con-
Germs, and the loss on their stocks,
which is total, is estimated at $751;
600. Loss on the buildings amounts
to $50,500
The buildings Joined each other.
The first and second floors of the
building on the corner were occupied
by the Maddocks Glove Co., manufac-
turers of gloves and mittens, and the
two upper floors were used by the I'M
perial Cap Co., manufacturers of hats
and caps.
Adjoining the Maddocks Glove Co.. s
building was the brokerage firm of F.
B. Neuhoff & Co., who carried a large
stock of commission goods. In the
same building with this firm was To-
Gated a stock of commission goods
which he carried for Hills Bros, of
New York, and which Mr.. Neuhoff said
was valued at $1,000.
The Michigan Produce Co. also &C.
cupied a part of this building.
The third and fourth buildings were
occupied by Crusoe Bros, Limited,
wholesale grocers.
No one seems to know what caused
the collapse of the buildings. On Sun
day night that district is practically
deserted and the few who were in the
vicinity say that the buildings seemed
to fall into a heap without apparent
cause, making a noise like the rum
bling of distant thunder. There are
evidences of an explosion about the
ruins, but no one heard a sound of
such an explosion. The walls of the
rear part of che Maddocks Glove Co.'S
building are still standing to the
height of two stories, but the roof of
this part of the building lies turned
bOttomside upward in the middle of
Shelby street, and a large iron smoke
stack lies on the sidewalk on the op-
posite side of the street, smashed
against the buildings there, as if driv-
en- by force
Experts from the Detroit Gas Co.'s
Office made an examination of the
ruins, but said they were unable to
find evidences of a gas explosion. It
was fortunate that the wreck occur
red on Sunday night. Had it happen
ed during business hours the loss of
life would have been appalling, as
there were approximately 200 persons
employed by the various firms. They
would have been caught in a veritable
death trap and crushed and burned be-
fore they could have been rescued.
The buildings collapsed into a heap
and in a short space of time the in
f1ammable material caught fire from
the furnaces used for heating the
buildings. There were no watchmen
about the premises, consequently there
will be no loss of life

Barcelona, Jan. 2O.-The explosion
of the boiler of a spinning mill near
Manresa Saturday destroyed half the
village of Puente de Vilumara. The
hospital at Manresa is filed with the
injured. Sixteen mutilated bodies of
working people buried in the debris
have been recovered. These include
the manager of the spinning mill and
his two sisters. OF the persons in
jured 80 are not expected to recover.
The dead included many children.
Queen regent has wired her condo
lences.
The boiler exploded in the evening,
when the mill hands, many of whom
were accompanied by their wives and
children, were eating supper before
commencing the nights work. The
buildings of the mill collapsed entire
iy and the debris was hurled in all
directions, destroying other buildings
and killing and injuring the people in
the vicinity. Owing to the darkness
the work of extricating the victims
proceeded with great difficulty. Dur

it is Thought They Perished or Were
Captured BY Fiipinos.

Manila, Jan. 20.-A report has been
received here that a dugout canoe, in
which II men of Company 1 Of the I'd
infantry were travelling, is missing and
is probably lost. 1t is believed the
men either persisted or were captured.
Gen. Wade has cabled from Cebu
that 365 insurgents surrendered on the
island of Bohol last Friday. The au-
thorities here say that this statement
is astonishing, if accurate, as the Sc
cret service had failed to learn of the
existence of any such body of insur-
gents on Bohol.
An important capture was made in
Laguna province, Luzon, when eight
men Of the 8th infantry captured a
woman insurgent named Aquada Kaha-
bagan. She recently commanded an
insurgent force of 800 men, 300 Of
whom carried rifles while 500 were
armed with bolOs. For six years past
she has been leading insurgent bands
against the Spaniards and the Amer
leans. Gen. J. Franklin Bell is still
active in Batangas province, Luzon.
A recent engagement in this province
in which the insurgents were defeated
with severe loss resulted in the wound
ing of one American officer and the
killing of one private.
Col. Theodore J. Whit, of the 9th
cavalry, who is operating in Batan-
gas and Laguna provinces, reports
numerous small engagements.
