in the s6nsation reports about Cuban ex
peditions.

Admiral Hoff writes to the Department
from Havana, 6th inst., announcing that
he would be absent from that port for's
few days to relieve the Narragansett at
Key West, and for a change of air for the
officers and crew. He had just received
information from Commander Fine
brown, at Key West, that the English
steamer Salvador, a supposed Cu.
ban privateer rthat our naval foicee
have been watching for some time at
the instance of the Government, has
cleared for St. Ti annul via Nassau with
out arms or munitions of war of any de
scription. Everything at Havana is re
markably quiet. j The Spanish authori
ties seem confident of suppressing the
rebellion before 'the expiration of the
year. The rainy season now corning
on precludes the possibility of any
active operatione of any importance.
In conversationi with Cubans who
were at one tibia sanguine of sue:
cess. Admiral Hoff says those in the Ha
vana end of the Island are dissatisfied
from the fact that the revolution has not
been conducted in a manner to coincide
with their views. \ There is little or no
organization among them, althotteh they
claim the cause of their present Inactiv
ity is owing to their forces being exer
cised and instructed in the use of arms,
preparatory for a campaign at the close
of the rainy season. Gen. Cespedes and
Quesada are • acting independently, and
have their own separate forces and ad
derents.
Mr. Hail, our Consul General, and the
, Commodore of the English fleet, seem
to think the basurreetion is being
crushed, and that in a few weeks it will
consist of nothing but Irregular bands of
outlaws scattered through the interior.

AN A.WPIIL PICTUEE.
When the building dropped, Mr. Cav
en was conversing with a faced Co the
first floor. On the signal of a crash the
friend leaped Out of a window or door,
which'he could not say, and his compan
ion was imbedded in the falling debris.
Down, down, down he was ' borne into
the lowest depth of the building. There
he awoke to a conaciotnness of his
position. Above, hanging as it were
by a single thread, were an hun
dred tons or more of . barreled wide
ky and debris, below two feet of
tvhiskey floating and minutely gaining
in heightia. Witat an awful position!
For an hour or more he was left to
his own thoughts. No one dared en

danger and the Governmental regulations
'forbade trespass Cu the creel precincts

fellow by the band and as k ed if he had
any final words to say, death seemed
imminent. "Yes," said Caven, "I die

CITY AND SUBURBAN.
FALL OF A DISTILLERY'.
Loss of Llfe—Thrllllng and Terrible
Incident.
Yesterday afternoOn at half past two
o'clock, the citizens of the Southern side
of the Monongahela river were startled
by the noise of a loud crash as of a fall.
log building. The sound was heard on
this side of the river, and our reporter
immediately visited. the locality. He
found the distillery bonded warehouse of
Messrs. Joseph F. Finch it Co , in frag
mentary. ruins. It will be remembered,
that, several weeks ago, this building
gave away, and, pursuant to Govern
mental instructions, the whisky stored
therein watordered to be atome removed
to other quarters. Tice work of removing
was at once undertaken, and yesterday
carpenters of experience were engaged
in strengthening the building so as to
render secure the renroval of the thous
ands upon thousands of barrels of wh is.
ky, which were stored away beneath. the
roof of the ill-fated bookledtwareko use.
Tilifirrtunately, braces with. an outward
tendency were placed agatnst the 'Walls,
and as a natural result, the complete
deniolition of the' but Wing was acaona
blished„ When heavy blows froth a
sledge hammer Were'bring deliverealto
an upright dependent for support on al
ready impaired side walls, the building
quivered and shooki and soon gave way
letting down its contents to tire
ground. The giving away was
sudden said zuneashected._ It was
as quick as a ligksning Zeksh; and
fell terribly certain on the heads of
those beneath. The carpenter, David
Steel who was driving home a spike to
ensure security, John Itobinson who was
watcning the operations and George B.
Caven, the storekeeper, in consvreation
with it friend, were wholly innocent of
the dread calamity about to befall item.
Quick as thought down came the build
throughd rushed Caren's partner.
a window, and his friend and
the carpenter's 'hands were caught
in the falling debris. A: cloud of
dust followed and ;markings Issued.
Mr. David fiteele ' a carpenter, was
readily exhumed from the masses of
brick, stone and timber, and found to be
dangerously inj. r; Jonn Rabin
son, the Managerured of the'dietilletY, was
next reached and with but little treuble
extricated from his terribleposition. Mr.
Caren, the. Unittd States Storekeeper,
was the only one missing ;id all the 90111 S,
known to have been within this building.
Search was delayed for some time till'.
W.-Davit VeS7.--ftne-Inftnidierndlorholi-i;
sealed Collector of the District, arrived,
and gave orders tolind the body. Search
soon.revealed the fact that Mr.. Caren
was wedged In by heavy tiird)ors in the
ruins, and that he could not be reached
I s
.for hours. b . Davis employed a special
Cps or Unite tates officers and order
ed the work o removal of the debris to
proceed, in order to extricate the urdbr-'
tunate man from his position. There
were found many willing laborers, who,
in the greatest of danger, proceeded to
extricate Mr. Caren from his awful posi
tion, but the work went slowly on, and
ere the poor man was reached life was
. ,
departed.
the dark care of death, and wading
through the deep sea of whiakey, found
the victim. No response was made to
his greeting, and fepling the pulse, life
was found gone. With sac hearts the
workmen ceased their labors and Caven
was left all alone in his dark sepulchre.
The deceased belonged to McKeesport,
where live an aged father, a kind mother
and affectionate brothers and sisters, He
was about twenty-six years of age and
had but recently received his appoint
ment as Storekeeper under the new ad
ministration. It was decided by Col
lector Davis to remove him to an
other distillery and 'the remonstrances
of his friends were being entered
at the very moment when he wascarried
down beneath the rains.. His body will
be taken from the debris to.day, and re
moved to McKeesport for burial.
Mr. Robinson, the manager of the dis
tillery, was 'seriously injured, but it is
thought he will survive. He was carried
to the residence of Mr. Finch, on Second
avenue, where he received all proper
medical aid and attendance.
Mr. Steele, the carpenter, was serious
lv injured, having, all his left ribs
crushed. He will possibly recover.
The loss entailed by Mr. Finch will
closely approximate $40,000. This is diL
Tided by a number of local liquor houses
which had whiskies stored at their own
risk, and of course will have to share in
the damages.
