ported recently In Versailles that the

end OF the White River railroad, now
being built In Arkansas by the Missouri
Pacific interests.
The view indicated above Is the one

Bagnell should come the same view is
significant. II It shall prove the correc,

ing Testimony.

New York, Feb. PIN the trial of
Albert Il. Patrick, accused of the muir
der of William NJ. Rice, to-day. Charles
+. Jones continued his testimony. he
identified copies of kilograms he sent
to Texas announcing Rice's death.
Under questioning by the prosecut-
ing attorney the witness related the al
legged incidents of the preparation of
Patrick of assignments of Rice's prop
erty to Patrick, as these events had
been stated previously by the witness.
Jones said Rice never signed the as
signments; that when Patrick took the
papers from Rice's apartments they
were unsigned, but when the witness
next saw them they bore the name of
W. NJ. Rice.
Rice, Jones said, had seen Patrick
for the first time in the spring of 1900,
and again in the summer of the same
year. but there was no conversation
between the two men OH either occas-
ion.
The night before Rice died the wit
ness gave him two powders that had
been put up by a druggist in Houston,
Texas; the witness did not know Of
what they We're composed. Rice was
very uneasy that night, and to oblige
him to keep in bed and covered the
witness opened the windows.
Jones testified that Patrick kept
away from the Rice apartments for
ten days prior to Mr.. Rice's death.
'He said" Jones explained, that as
the bulk of Mr.. Rice's property was
left to him. it would not do for him
TO be on the premises If there We're
any inquiry into the murder--the death,
l mean"
Jones told of the plans for cremation.
The much talked OF cremation letter
Jones said he wrote from draft pre-
pared by Patrick. He identified the
letter and said he gave 1t unsigned to
Patrick. 1t was unsigned when he
next saw 1t In the possession of Cap
tain Baker.
Patrick told me-" the witness said,
that he wanted Mr. Rice's body Gre
mated to hide all traces OF drugs Then
he said he would have the ashes buried
IN Milwaukee beside his wife, SO as to
satisfy the relatives"

CUBAN STATISTICS.
Government Issues Gazetteer Giving
Valuable Information.

Washington, Feb. 24-The United
States Geographical Survey is about to
issue n Gazetteer of Cuba" compiled
under the direction of Henry Gannett,
the geographer. The publication con-
tains comprehensive data regarding
the geography, resources, climate, peo-
pie. civil divisions, ETC., of the island,
and is illustrated by maps and plates.
showing distribution Of population and
products.
1t says the mineral resources so far
as developed, consist almost entirely
OF hematite ore. which has been mined
for many years few miles east Of
Santiago. Nearly all the ore, which
contains about sixty-two per cent. Of
iron, Is shipped to the United States.
Asphaltum has been found in several
places.
There were, In 1890. GO.711 farms with
an average size OF 143 acres and an nv
erage cultivated area OF thirteen acres.
Matanzas and Habana provinces are
the most highly cultivated parts of the
island. or the cultivated area less
than fifty per cent. was owned by Its
occupants. Sugar cane occupies forty
seven per cent. OF the cultivated lands.
There were in Cuba In 1899, 2O7
sugar mills, or centrals, producing
daily 81 .4O7 bags of sugar. There
were also eighty-hve stills, with n
daily capacity OF 161, I51 gallons. For
transportation the island depends on
very poor wagon roads and LOO miles
of railways.

GREAT NEW york. FIRE.
The Armory and the Park Hotel
Burned.-A Number of Guests
Believed to Have Pertshed. 49,

New York. Feb. 22-Fire that broke
out early this morning in the armory
Of the Seventy-first regiment. AT Park
avenue, Thirty-third and TThirty-fourth
streets. spread to the Park Avenue no
tel and many lives were lost. while
the damage is roughly estimated AT
over $2OOO,OO0 One woman, n guest
of the hotel, jumped from the fifth
story window and is believed to be
fatally injured. Four bodies have been
taken out up to $3.50 this morning, but
the only one so far identified is sale
to be that of Colonel Pepper of Louis
vile, Kentucky.
The Park Avenue hotel will. 1T is be-
lieyed, be a total loss. The Seventy
first regiment armory, magnificent
granite structure, and one of the finest
in the city, was destroyed. The car
barns of the Metropolitan street rail
way. in an adjoining corner Were mo-
mentarily threatened with destruction
but the good work of the Iiremen saved
them.
The fire was discovered in a window
of the armOry on the Thirty-fourth
street side. and by the time the fire
men arrived the flames had completely
enveloped the building and appeared
through the roof. Shortly after the
cartridges and ammunition exploded
and then 1000 pounds of powder in
the cellar exploded and the walls OF
the building We're blown outward.
By this time the people living in the
neighborhood had been driven from
their homes by the heat and were shelf
cred in the car barns near by. Many
escapes We're witnessed and heroic
work was done by firemen and specta
tors.
The guests of the Park Avenue ho-
tel, numbering about 600, were aroused
as quickly as possible, but not with
out panic among the women and chill
dren. The firemen poured eleven
streams upon the side of the hotel
nearest the armory, but in spite Of this
the third floor caught fire and the
flames, eating along the walls of the
hotel, spread to the roof. The firemen
ran ladders up on every side and at
tempted to work their way through
the hotel, but were driven back by the
dense volume of smoke again and
again. A little after 3 o'clock the four
upper floors of the hotel were a mass
of flames and the fire was spreading
rapidly down through the structure.
1t was then apparent that the hotel
was doomed.
Notwithstanding the fact that every
body in the hotel had ample time to
get out q large number of women were
carried down the ladders by firemep,
until it was thought everybody had
been taken out.
At o'clock Chief Croker, who had
been inside the building, said that he
believed large number of dead were
inside in the halls and corridors.
Two men whose names have not been
learned attempted to escape from the
Park Avenue hotel by going to the
roof. Both of them jumped from the
roof later and one was instantly A..led.
The other was fatally injured.
At 4:15 the fire was under control.
