NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL THE
SUBJECT OF DEBATE In THE SENATE

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Dixon
of Montana provoked sharp criticism
of naval methods in the senate today
when he referred to magazine articles
making special structures upon con-
struction at navy yards.
He quoted an article charging that
ten or twelve members of the naval
affairs committee of the senate had
navy yards ia their states
Mr.. Ciapp said if the senate COM
mittee continued to protest against
these appropriations without cutting
them down, the aggregate would con-
tinue to Increase.
Mr.. Hale defended the appropriations
for navy yards, saying that while in
fourteen years the United States had
spent S51, 015.064 on such works. Great
Britain spent 126,9s7, $50 on its navy
yards.
In this bill but s4.s4L000, he said.
was for the navy yards. 1t was true,
he admitted, there were but two or
three of the yards that could dock
26,000-ton battleships, provided for IN
the pending bill, but that was because
there had never been any idea that
there would be such great ships.
'The whole country" he continued.

conditions it was difficult to check the
appropriations.
Mr.. Newlands advocated the placing
of much of the executive work Of the
nation in the hands of such men as J,

States Steel corporation.
MIR. Tillman declared that for .the

the relative merits of the several navy
yards.
Mr. MeEnery insisted that a .S:.s.,r ex-
listed in the navy department for build
Ing two great navy yards one at New
York and the other at Norfolk. and he
said they want to displace the navy
yard at New Orleans by a great naval
station at Guantanamo, Cuba.
In closing the debate Mr.. Hale said

THEATRE FIRE
BRINGS DEATH
TO HUNDREDS
Wooden Building in City of
Acapulco, Mexico, Scene
of Latest Horror.
EXITS Soon CH0kED WITH
BODIES OF THE VICTIMS
THOSE IMPRISONED ROASTED TO
oEATH-sEVERAL AMERICANS
SAID TO HAVE Persisted,

Mexico City, Feb. 15.-Between $50
and 800 persons were burned to death,
ana many more were injured, in a fire
when destroyed the Flores theatre in
the City of Acapulco last night. The
news of the disaster reached here this
AFTERNOON, Geographic communication
with Acapulco having been DESTROYED
laSt night and today owing to the fact
that the telegraph office, adjoining the
theatre, was burned and all wires put
out of commission.
The Flores theatre was a wooden
structure and last night over 1000 peo-
pie crowded into it to witness a spe-
cial performance given in honor OF
Governor Damian Flores of the state
or Guerrero, who was visiting the host
AT the time. One Of the numbers OH
the program consisted of d series of
moving pictures. While the operator
was exhibiting these a film caught fire
and a blaze was quickly communicated
to some bunting which had been used
for decorative purposes.
Bodies Clicked the Exit.
In an incredibly short time the flames
spread to all parts OF the structure.
There were but three narrow exits, and
the panic-stricken audience rushed to
them, many persons falling, to be tram
way to escape for others.
The screams of those imprisoned were
terrifying. Owing to the rapidly with
which the fire spread and its intense
heat 1t was impossible to attempt res
cue work, and those imprisoned were
literally roasted alive, as the fire pro-
crossed with little smoke. and few were
suffocated.
The efforts of the fire department
were confined to attempting to save the
adjoining buildings, aud the firemen
succeeded so well that the property loss
was small.
The telegraph office, postoffice and
custom house were damaged, but all of
the government records and registered
fsnsl were saved.
Pitifui Scenes Witnessed.
Today pitiful scenes OF grief were wit
messed on the streets of the city. Men,
women and children wandered about
hunting for relatives or friends.
Many of the dead are from the first
families of the state, the affair at the
theatre being a social event of consid-
cradle Importance and calling out the
wealthiest and oldest families for miles
around. In some instances whole fam
lies were wiped out The municipal
authorities today caused large trenches
~ be dug and into these the bodies
Nere laid Identification has been i'm
possible, most of the bodies having been
burned to crisp

dead have not been answered.
