CUBAN ANNEXATION.
Republic Invited to Become Part Of the
United States.

Unlteu States.
Washington, Feb. 8.-Representative
Newlands, of Nevada, Of the ways and
means committee, who was the author
of the resolution annexing Hawaii, to-
day introduced resolution inviting the
republic OF Cuba to become a part of
the United States, first as territory
and then as State of the union, TO be
called the state OF Cuba; and also
authorizing 25 per cent reduction of
duty on the present crop of Cuban
sugar, in consideration Of Cuba's grant.
ing preferential rates to the United
States. The resolution confines the Is
per cent reduction of duties TO the Pc
riod prior to January l, 1908. New.
lands, in explanation Of his resolution,
said:
CAN those who have appeared TO
voice Cuba's needs and requirements
have indicated that an invitation to
Cuba of annexation would be accepted.
Annexation by force would not be justi.
fed. It must be accomplished, If at
all, by the free act Of the. Cuban peo-
pie. AT present there is no machinery
in Cuba by which the popular will can
be tested, but the Cuban constitution
has been adopted. The Cuban congress
will meet in February, a Cnban govern
ment will besorganized, and the United
States will then leave the government
and control of the island to the people.
Cuba then will be in a position to ex.
press her will"

vEToEs HIS OWN BREvET.
Roosevelt VIII Not Be Rewarded fOv Ills
War Service.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE president
has approved, with one notable excep-
tion, all the recommendations made,.by
the army board Of which General Mac
Arthur was president, for the bestowal
OF brevet rank on all the officers OF the
army who rendered especially meritori-
GUS services during the war with Spain
and in the subsequent campaigns in
the philippines and China. The ex-
ception noted is the case of Theodore
Roosevelt, who was awarded the brevets
OF colonel and brigadier general for dis
tinguished services at San Juan and
Santiago. Under the law these brevets
require the confirmation of the senate
and the nominations have been made
out for transmission to that body during
the week, but, as already stated, the
list will not contain the name of the
president. 1t is expected that the
medals of honor and certificates OF merit
recommended by the board for individ-
ual gallantry, which also have been ap-
proved by the president, will be an
nounced at the war department this
week. These awards do not require
the sanction of the senate.

BIG BOOST FOR LINE.
$4,000 Raised for the GoIdendals. Portland
Railroad,

Goldendale, Wash, Feb. 1O.-The
citizens of Goldendale and Klickitat
county have raised $40 900 for the right
of way for the railroad from this city
to Portland. The committee in charge
of this matter considers this amount
sufficient to secure the right OF way
from Goldendale to Lyle, Al miles.
All rights OF way have been secured
excepting three or four between Golden
dale and the head of swale canyon, a
distance of abont IS miles, through the
farming part of Klickitat county. The
rest of the route lies principally
through government lands, there being
but few settlers and a few Indian
claims along the Big Klickitat, there
fore little trouble will be encountered
on this score,
Contracts have not yet been signed
but it is expected that work will CON-
menee on the grading within 80 days.
The company organized for the pur-
pose Of building this line will reserve
two years in which to complete the line
from Lyle to Goldendale, but expects
to carry the crop from the Klickitat val
ley this year, Property valuations
have already advanced perceptibly in
the vicinity of Goldendale and along
the route of the proposed road.

GAS MAINS BLOW UP.
Thirteen Lives Are Lost in a Chicago ex.
plOsion-About a Hundred Injured

Chicago, Feb. s,-Thirteen lives were
lost, many persons slightly injured, two
buildings were wrecked and $50, 900
damage done by an explosion Of gas to-
night at the intersection of Twenty-sec.
ond street and Archer avenue.
The cause of the explosion is un.
known and it has not yet been deter.
mined whether it was sewer gas or II.
Illuminating gas. Mains filled with the
latter were instantly ablaze after the
explosion and succession OF explosions
followed, the flames shooting up through
the manholes in the street. 1t will
be difficult to ascertain whether illum-
mating gas exploded or whether the
mains were broken by an explosion of
sewer gas.
Many people living in the vicinity
believe that the first explosion WAS in a
main at Twenty-second street and
Archer avenue. Then the manhole,
half block south ON Archer avenue,
was thrown into the air by loud ex-
plosion. Flames leaped and roared
from the hole. The fire spread rapidly
and three other manholes were blown
into the air.
The flames from the first gas main
shot high into the air and reached,
with the aid of the wind, to three
story frame structure, and it had been
weakened and nearly wrecked by the
shock. 1t is supposed that the occu-
pants of the buildings we're knocked
unconscious or were too panic stricken
to rush from the place. The flames
caught the weather worn timbers. The
dry and rotting wood was food for the
fire, and in an instant the flames had
enveloped the structure. With roar
the building collapsed, and the occu-
pants, with one exception, were carried
with it to the basement.
The adjoining building, two story
structure, fared up, the next building
was wrapped in flames, and then an.
other structure caught fire. 1t seemed
that the whole block would be wiped
out before the firemen could bring the
blaze under control. A firewall of
brick building at Archer avenue and
Twenty-second street held the fire in
that direction. On the west of the
burning buildings were two small one
story cottages. They we're q few feet
from the burning buildings, and that
gave the firemen an opportunity OF
heading off the flames.
The windows throughout the neigh
borhood were broken, and bottles and
glassware in the dwellings and stores
were thrown down and broken. Many
persons in buildings near the explosions
were knocked down. Scores of men
and women, many Of them carrying
children, rushed to the streets. They
we're greeted by the glare of the fire
from the manholes. Fearing further
explosions, the people rushed down the
street, many Of the women screaming
with fright.
On several street cars near the place
the windows were smashed, and the
passengers were severely shaken up.
When the people in the cars saw the
flames gush from the ground all hands
rushed for the doors. A number of
persons were bruised and knocked down
IN the excitement. One car filled with
passengers was thrown from the tracks.
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1902-02-14

gained much headway before it was dis
covered and the alarm given. There
was considerable delay in turning in an
alarm, and when the engines finally
reached the scene, the whole front of
the building was in flames and the in
terror was a seething furnace. BY that
time all who escaped death had got ont
of the building by jumping from the
windows or climbing down ropes made
of bedclothes. A few escaped on the
ground floor through the front door.
Several escapes were very narrow.
Every one who got out suffered some
injury or was frost bitten. Some barely
had time to get out when aroused, the
flames had spread so rapidly. Some
saved their clothing, (which they carried
in their hands, but Others were not so
fortunate, losing everything.
