Bnllla- la Detroit.
Detroit. Mica, No. T. The mew Ave
tory Wonderland theater buUdlnf la
practically la nana and many Uvea
have been sacrificed by an appalling
avcident whloh occurred therein Sat
urday afternoon. While some It men
were at work in various parts of the
halt finished theater portions of the
structure the roof fell in wlthowt a sec
ond's warning. Nearly every work
man was carried down Into the theater
pit, the top gallery was crushed down
upon the lower gallery, forming a
slope, down which slid broken steel
girders, planks, timbers, bricks and a
great quantity of cement from the
roof and carrying along a struggling
company of mea Into the pit below,
very few of whom escaped injury.
The death list thus far has reached
12, three bodies having been recovered
yesterday and one today. The known
dead are: George White, tinner, Mar
tin Shafer, painter; Peter Pfelfie. oar
penter; Frank Wolf, tinner, and Au
gust Sallach, Cornelius MeAaj-on, James
Gegerschke, Julius Januschowakl. John
Cresselskl, Max Pett and Charles
Mellke, laborers. Fred Miller and O.
Mullln are believed to be lying be
neath the debrr.
What caused the catastrophe Is still
unknown, and probably will not be
known until the coroner's Inquest Is
held. A prominent local architect
stated that he did not believe In the
theory that the steel work was faulty,
but said he did believe that U was not
heavy enough.
WOES OF RELEASED CUBANS.
Brought From the ( out a Prison. Now
I'nnnlleHH and IIomulexH.
New Tork, Nov. 8. The 16 Cubans
who were recently released by the
Spanish government from the prison at
Ceuta, and who arrived in this coun
try last week on the Kaiser Wllhelm
II, were yesterday released from the
barge office and allowed to go, penni
less and homeless, Into the streets.
They applied for help at the Cuban
Junta, but were turned away with the
reply that no funds were available for
them. The situation of the men Is
peculiar. They were released from the
prison, ana as they had no money for
transportation and could not secure
help from tho Spanish government
they were forwarded to this country
by tho United States consul there at
the expense of this government. No
arrangements were made for their re
ception on this side, nor for their trans
portation from this port to the Island
of Cuba. When they arrived Commis
sioner Kltchre sent a message to the
Junta Informing them of tho Cubans'
arrival here, and asking the Junta to
caro for them. The Junta declined.
After n conference on tho subject It
was decided that the Junta would take
care of the men for the night. An ef
fort will be made by Mr. Palma to get
the state department to provide for the
men until they can be sent to Cuba.
l.viichinix In Control llllnolx.
Lacon, Ills., Nov. 8. The first lynch
ing In central Illinois In many years
took place here early yesterday morn
ing, when a hundred miners from To
luca, a mining town a short distance
cast of here, brokee Into the county
Jail, took out F. W. Stewart, a Toluca
negro, and hanged him to a tree. The
work was done quickly and quietly.
The mob was well organized, and short
ly after midnight marched In a body
to tho Jail, broke In the doors, after a
short parley with the sheriff, dragged
the negro from his cell, carried him to
a tree a mile from town, where the
remainder of the party awaited them,
and swung him to a limb. Stewart'
crime was assault upon Mary O'ltrlen,
the daughter of one of the local min
ers. There Is a general impression that
the negro was punished as ho deserved,
and no special effort Is being mado to
discover the Identity of the members
of the mob.
Gold Prom Terra Del Ktioiro.
Cleveland, Nov. 7. Mr. Franklin
Ransom, of this city, who went to

ago In finest of gold, has returnej
with nearly $18,000 in gold. Ransom
will return to South America in the
spring. He paid today that ho had en
dured nnry hardships during his ab
sence. Kansom says all gold is ob
tained from placer minos, or Is washed
out of a magnetic black sand that Is
thrown up on the seashore. This some
times runs Jl.SU to the pan. The belt
of black sand lies under tho low tide
level, so It Is necessary to wait for a
storm to wash It up In reach of the
miners.

tien. Boynton and llottpltal Surgeons.
Chicago, Nov. 8. General Dodge,
Colonel Sexton and Dr. Conner, of the
war Investigating commission, arrived
la Chicago yesterday and Immediately
began the examination of witnesses at
the Auditorium hotel. A large number
of witnesses are on the list, and It la
not likely that the three membvrs of
the commission will leave Chicago be
fore Wednesday. They will then leave
for Detroit, where the investigation
will be sontLnutd. From Detroit the
commissioners will go direct to Wash
ington. Dr. Lewis Schooler, of Des Mlnes,
la., was the first witness lo testify yes
terday. From June 7 to July 17 Dr.
Schooler was stationed at Camp
Thomas as chief surgeon of the Sec
ond division. Third corps. Questioned
by Dr. Conner he said that during the
time he was there the sanitary condi
tions In the hospitals was not very
good, the sinks in the whole division
were bad, owing principally to the
character of the ground, and the dis
cipline was rather lax. There was also
a scarcity of medicines. The doctor
thought both the nurses and olllcers
were overworked.
Another witness was Mrs. Virginia
F. Hot, of Chicago. She entered com
rlalnt In regard to the death of her son,
Frank T., who enlisted with Company
L, First Illinois volunteers. He was
takn sick at Santiago, and was taken
to Montauk on the transport Berlin.
From here he wan allowed to go home
on furlough, when he should have been
sent to the hospital. He was sent home
entirely unattended, and was compelled
to ride Hn a day coach instaad of being
provlde.J with a berth In a sleeping
car. II arrived home on Sept. 1 und
on Sept. 19 he died. It was the opinion
of Mrs. Hot that the medical ofllcerB
should :aave sent him to the hospital,
or If he iniH'l be sent home she claim
ed that h should have had an at
tendant. Dr. MiDo 11. Ward, of Kansas City,
who sn i a lirhrade surgeon at Camp
Thomas from July 12 to Sept. 10, asked
as to true condition of the hospitals,
said tha t tliere was a great lark of
medicine s, tmly some of the simplest
of medl' :lmw being on hand. "'The
food which was furnished the ruen."
said he, "! Mould not want to give to
my pet ilng." He said that the fooj
would hu vp been nil rij;ht bad it been
proTly conked, but In the sh.ipe in
whk'h it wus brought to in-? men It
was enou eta to make anybody sick.
The docto r was then questioned as to
the lot-k of attention shown patients
Just comb ig clown with disease. The
doctor Hta ted that he knew of several
cases who re the patient was allowed
to lie out n the ground tho whole day,
and also 1 iting the nlirht, before taken
to the ho ipJttU., Son, climes some of
the men wi -re put on the bare ground,
but within a Tew hours they were al
ways put o n cots or stretchers."
Dr. Conn r "What was the reason
that the Se( ond division hospital of the
Third anny corps had. as It certainly
did have, ti ic worst reputation of any
hospital du.rlng the war?"
Dr. Ward-'-"Th First reason. In my
Judgment, is that the hospital had for
its corps si irgeon a man who never
paid any att enUun to It whatever. Ills
name wn-t 1 loff. The next reason is
that th man- In charge of .V hospital,
the division targoun, very seldom vis
ited the busp Ital or paid any attention
to It. His name was Jenny. The next
reason Is thnt there were not enough
doctors at a rtv time to take care of
the patients without overworking the
doctors and mukimr them too til to get
out of bed. T lie tfxt reason Is that the
nurses were never compel n any
pcnf:e of the word, but they dl.l the
best they could when you consider thelt
Ignorance, flume of them could not
even road. TI ey vro forced to do the
work under protest, and of course did
only what tliej" were obliged to."
In reply to further questions Dr.
Ward said:
"The necessities wero not available
from the nnny mppli. s, nnd had It not
been for the Red Cross some of the
soldiers would have starved. Requisi
tion after requisition was forwarded,
and yet no relief came."
When asked ns to his opinion for the
responsibility of the conditions at
Camp Thomas Dr. Ward said:
"For the condition of the camp, first
the man who Insisted that the camp
was perfect and that the hospital was
well run. That man was General Boyn
ton." Dr. Nicholas Senn gave testimony
before the commission at the evening
session. He was at Chlekamauga three
weeks In June. "Forty thousand
troops were there at the time." he
said, "and the sick accumulated very
rapidly. When I was there a good
many of the sick were on the ground.
Medical supplies v.oro on hand to a lim
ited extent."
Dr. Senn said he thought the men
In charge of the hospitals did very well
considering that they were new In the
service.
When asked as to the conditions pre
vailing at the front at Santiago Dr.
Senn said there were very few cots
for the sick ones, and most of the men
slept on the ground. In Porto Rico
Dr. Senn said he found the hospitals
In gocd condition.

east of the point where the explosion
occurred were hulked out nearly two
Inches, windows In all that part of the
building were blown out and locked
doors wre forced from their hinges
quite 150 feet from the scene of it.
Fire followed the explosion so quick
ly ns to seem practically simultaneous
with it. The explosion shook the Im
mense structure to its foundation, and
was hoar' several squares from the
Capitol. It occurred in a small room
tightly enclosed by heavy stone walls
In the subterrsneun basement. Immedi
ately below the main entrance to th

was wrecked and the gas pouring from
tho main caught lire. Tho ltani"s orig

the shaft ot the elevator. whl"h had
been completely destroyed by tho force
of the explosion, and communicated
with the record room of the suprcnw
court, the orlice of the marshal of the
court and the supreme court library.
Hofore th" llames could be subdued tile

had been almost totally destroyed and
serious damage had been doim in the'
marshal's olllce and pome minor rooms
in the Immediate vicinity.
Just north of the crypt an archway,
almost over the meter room, was com
pletely blown out and great masses of
masonry torn from the floor were hurl
