SPANISH CABINET
 HAS RESIGNED Pretensions of General WeyIer to Field MaTshalship One of
 The Causes. THREATENED ONCE BEFORE War Minister Fails to See Where Weyler a Polavieja Deserve
 Any Honors.

Madrid, Nov 2S.-The cabinet has resigned.
 The Spanish cabinet which has just resigned was formed by Field Mar shal Lopez Dominguez July 6, 1906, succeeding the cabinet of Senor More ty Prendergast. It was headed by Lopez Dominguez as premier.
 1t was announced from Madrid yes terday that the cabinet had resolved that it was its duty to remain in of flee until 1t was voted out.
 The principal legislation to which the cabinet was committed was the law of associations and the chambers of deputies yesterday by 161 to four votes decided to devote half the ses- sion to the discussion of the law of associations and the other half to the budget. The conservatives abstained from voting.
 King Alfonso on November 16 was hastily called to Madrid from hunt ing expedition and 1t was announced at the time that it was believed that cabinet crisis was impending. It was explained that war Minister de Luque was resisting the pretensions of General Weyler and Polavieja to the field marshalship made vacant by the death of Count de Cheste, Weyler and Polavieja, it was added based their claims on their victories in Gu ba and the Philippine islands"

FIGHT ON A STEAMER
One Fireman Was Killed In The Stoke HoIe & Vessel was Rounding
 Cape Hatteras
POLICE ON HAND TO ARREST

New York. Nov 28.-One fireman was killed and dozen severely beaten in a desperate row between firemen in the stoke hole of the Nal lory line steamer San Jacnto, as the vessel was rounding Cape Hatteras en route from Galveston Monday night. By wireless from Atlantic City, Captain Evans notified police headquarters in this city, so that when the San Jacinto docked to-day squad of police was there to take the alleged murderer and five others to the police station..
 Emanuel Conchero, a Cuban, Is held for the murder of Pietro Moia- era, who died in an hour after he had been struck repeatedly over the head with a shovel.
 It was only at the point of their guns that Captain Evans and another ships officer subdued the fighters and rescued Moiaera from his assailants. Conchero was then also unconscious from a blow in the head. His wounds, and those of the rest of the firemen who were most hurt, were dressed by the steward.
 The ships officers say that none of the crew of thirty firemen would dis close to them what the row was about. It seems 1t first arose be- tween Conchero and Moiaera over the passing of coal. and the others joined in the melee.

TWO FLOORS.
DEATH OF A CENTENARIAN.
Oldest Baptist Clergyman in tn
 World Dead at Cambridge.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov 28.-Rev William Howe, a centenarian and the oldest Baptist clergyman in the world, died to-day at his home in this city.
 Dr Howe had not been i'll. He was found lifeless in his bed by rela- tive.
 Dr Howe had long been an unique figure in the Baptist denomination. Up to his last conscious moment he retained the use of all his faculties Only a few months ago on the occa- sion of his tooth birthday. he at tended a meeting of Baptist ministers in Fremont temple in Boston and de- livered stirring address. Dr Howe was born in Worcester and was grad uated from Newton theological sem- mary. His earliest endeavors in the Baptist denomination took the form of founding a number of Baptist schools in the north end of Boston and serving as pastor of the Union Baptist church and Temple church. which became merged in the present Fremont Temple society by plans for mulated by Dr Howe.
 For a great many years Dr Howe has been intimately identified with Cambridge affairs. He possessed an unusual fund of information as to various aspects of Cambridge his tory. His longevity and his almost unvarying good health the clergyman attributed to careful and exact habits of living. includign regular hours, abundance of sleep and simple diet.

ANARCHY AT TANarER.
Result of Yesterdays Fighting Shows That It Is Prevalent.

Paris, Nov 2S.-No great import ance is attached to yesterdays fight ing between Moroccan government troops and some of the forces of Rail suli on the one hand and a number of Angheras on the other about the house of MT Harris, the newspaper correspondent, near Tangier, except as showing that the prevailing an- archy has reached the very gates of Tagier and the timeliness of the Franco Spanish preparations to re- store orde. No troops will be landed unless the step is absolutely neces- sary although the policing of Tangier will probably be under taken 50 soon as the Franco-Spanish agreement is formally signed. This, 1t appears, was delayed at Madrid but may take place at any moment. after which it will immediately be transmitted to the powers.
 NJ. Jaures, the socialist leader, backed by his colleagues of the so- c!alist party. has prepared an inter- pellation of the government in re- gard to It's Moroccan policy. The so- cialists pretend to fear that France is embarking on an adventure, in- sisting that inasmuch as the Algeci- ras convention has not been ratified 1t would be dangerous to take any important step without the formal assent of the slgnatories.

HISTORIC DOCKS FINALE.
Dry Dock Where Constitution. kea- sarge and Raleigh Were Built Must Go.
ORDERS FROM WASHINGTON

Portsmouth, N. IT., Nov 2S.-From telegraphic orders received here from the navy department at Washington stopping all work on the old wooden dry dock, 1t Is believed that this his- toric structure which has held some of the most famous fighting ships of three American wars Is to be con demned. The dock has been in active service since 1880 and among the vessels 1t has held are the Constltu- ton, Kearsarge and the Raleigh. The original cost of the dock was over half million dollars. In the past two years over $l00O0O have been expend- ed in unsuccessful efforts to make 1t serviceable. Last week Assistant Secretary of the Navy Newberry in spected the plant with Civil Engineer Parks. II. S. N.. and upon Mir New berry's return to Washington orders were issued stopping the work on the dock There is understood to have been official opposition to spending money on the basin.

IS EITHER INSANE
 0R PRETTY SHREWD Professor of Law h George Wash-
 ington University Under Arrest For Murder. |IS WANTED IN GERMANY London Physician Says That Karl Hau, Alias Stau l. Shamming.

London, Nov 2S.-Karl Hau, alias Stau, professor of Roman law in George Washington university, Wash. ington, D. G., who has been under ar rest since November on the charge of murdering his mother-in-law al Baden-Baden. was again brought up on remand at the Bow street police court to-day. When the presiding magistrate explained to the prisoner that papers, containing mass of evidence in his case, had been re- ceived from Germany, but that there was still further technical evidence necessary (for which the German au- thorities had sent) before he could be formally extradited, and asked him whether he had anything to say, Hau, with staring eyes, answered:
 T don't understand what this is all about"
 The prisoner has apparently lost his reason or is feigning insanity. For several days he has been closely guarded owing to fear that he may commit suicide. Until to-day Hau either did not or pretended he did not recognized anybody, even his lawyer, MT Wilson. When the for mer came into court today, however, he said:
 oh, this is MT Wilson"
 Hau was still dressed faultlessly, but his hair was dishevelled and his face unshaven, while his eyes wan dered aimlessly around the court room. Occasionally he would ask Mir Wilson or the detective who ar rested him at the Hotel Cecil what he was was there for. They tried by every means to make him talk coher- ently. but if the prisoner was pre- tending to be insane he was on his guard, for when suddenly told that letter had been received from his wife his only answer was: That's absurd. -s. ~..as When Mr Wilson addressed the prisoner as Hau, he angrily asked:
 Why call me Hau? My name is Burhan Eddine Effendi." (The favor ite son of the sultan of Turkey.)
 The magistrate could not get any thing from the prisoner, but the re- peated statement:
 "I don't know what 1t is all about" Fianlly the case was again re- handed for a week.
 The prison doctor has certified that Hau has been acting in an in- sane manner. but the doctor believes this is assumed. A further medical examination of the prisoner will be held before the case is again called. Mir Wilson to-day said:
 Even if it is shown that the prisoner is insane it cannot prevent his extradition. The case against Hau has been carefully prepared by the German police. The evidence includes that of man who swears he sold wig and false beard to the prisoner. that of another man who testified that he helped Hau to adjust his disguise. and that of still another man who says he helped the prisoner take of his beard and wig. There is no chance of preventing ex- tradition"
 A representative of the American embassy was present in court to-day watching the case. but Hau has not yet claimed the protection of the United States. nor has he produced his naturalization papers.

BURNED TO DEATH Four Mon Not Death in tho Light house Hotel at St Louis This
 Morning
THIRTY-FlvE WERE INJURED

St Louis, Mo, Nov 28.-Four men were burned to death and probably thirty-five were injured in fire early to-day that practically destroyed the Lighthouse hotel, conducted by the Salvation army at the northwest cor ner of Ninth and Market streets.
 Fully five hundred men were asleep in the building when the fire was discovered, the greater number being on the second and third floors. All became panic stricken and before the firemen arrived and could stretch nets many had jumped from the up per windows and were picked up crushed and unconscious on the street below. The four dead have not been identified as their bodies were burned to crisp.
 The building was three story structure. Watchman OConnell who was stationed on the third floor, dis covered the fire in the clothes closet. The whole room was quickly filled with flame and smoke. O'Connell gave an alarm and hurried around waking up the sleeping inmates. The closet had formerly been an old ele- yator shaft and the flames quickly spread through the building.
 At every window could be seen half naked men, calling to firemen in ter TOT, and few moments later leaping from the burning building to the side walk below. Life lines, fastened to windows. provided means of escape for scores of the 800 lodgers.
 Terror took possession of the men and many of them started to run through the streets as soon as they escaped from the building. They were caught and put in comfortable quart CTS.
 The fire swept through the second and third floors and damged the struc- ture to the estimated extent of S2,OOO. It was an old building. The cause Of the fire has not been ascertained
