Twelve people dead, 27 missing, 18 injured and a property loss of $1,500,000 is the awful record of the big fire of last night The following is a revised list of the dead: Police Lieutenant A. J. Berry, John McHanna, William Scott, jr., Stanley Stitz, John Dwyer, George Loveless, William Smith, Albert A. Wolffe, Thomas Claffey, William R. Hahen stein, John Scott, tho youngest soif of the president of the Chautauqua Ioe Company; William MeGoniglc. Jacob Booth and a party of four companions, who were in a saloon on Pennsylvania avenue when the build ing crashed, are missing, and are sup posed to be under the debris. Mrs. Mary McFadden, with her fam ily of eight children, are supposed to be under the fallen walls. They lived in a house on Mulberry alley, which was crushed. Nothing has been seen of them sinoe the explosion last night, and it is believed all are dead. The fire broke out in tho Union Storage Company's building on Pike street, near Thirteenth. The building was six stories in height and occupied almost the entire block. The first floor was occupied as offices of the Union Storage Company and the Chautauqua Lake Ice Company. The second floor front contained the stables of the Chau tauqua company, and in the Twelfth street end they had their ice-making machinery and other property of the Chautauqua company. The rest of the building was occupied by the storage company. The entire fire department was called out. While the conflagra tion was at its height, an explosion of one of the large tanks filled with am monia, used in the manufacture of ioe, occurred, which was followed by several others and the burned-out walls came toppling down, and fironjon, po licemen and spectators were buried. As soon as possible, work was com menced to recover the dead and wound ed, the former being sent to the morgue as fast as recovered from the debris and the wounded sent to the hospital. The scene at the morgue was a har rowing one. As soon as the burned and mangled bodies were recovered, they were taken there where they were washed and placed in presentable con dition. Every victim was covered with wood and dirt, and almost every body was scalded and charred. Bones protruded from the charred and broken hands ot some, and gaping wounds were found here and there over the bodies. All day firemen, policemen and other city employes have been working at the risk of their lives, but up to night fall little progress had been made in clearing away the debris. The work will be continued without cessation un til it is known that no bodies remain buried. A FABULOUS DISCOVERY. Rich Find Kepnrted on the American Side of the Yukon. Vancouver, B. C, Fob. 14. It is reported that a great gold discovery has been made on tho American side in the Yukon ootintrr. Fritz Behnsen, of Victoria, writes to his brother, Karl BehnBen, as follows: "We have struck it rich on an un known creek across the border never before seen bv man. In the crevices of the rocks in one day we picked ud 150,003 in coarse gold. Sell your busi ness, or give it away, and come un quick with 10 men." The Behnsens have largo interests in Vancouver, and are said to be reliable. Several Klondikers were interviewed as to the probability of this report being true. The richness of the reputed dis covery seems so fabulous as to create in their minds a doubt as to its truthful ness. ALL QUIET IN DAWSON. w. Kenny Reports the at Work. Miners Husy Seattle.

PENSIONS OF THE WIDOWS Proposition to Bar Their; From Rolls Defeated. INDIAN BILL IN THE SENATE House Spent the Entire Dnv Filibus tering Against Two Mills of Minor Importance Speaker Heed Attacked. Washington, Feb. 12. Tho contest which has been waged in tho house committee on invalid pensions ever since the assembling of congress on )he question of barring from the pension rolls the widows and children of lol diers who marry hereafter, came to an end today in the defeat of the propoi tion. A motion, with this end in view, was introduced by Smith, of New York, and it had the indorsement Of Commissioner of Pensions Evans. The question had been agitating the com mittee at all of its meetings, and to day, after a very spirited discussion, Representative Norton brought it to a sudden close by demanding a vote on the question of favorably reporting it to the house. The vote disclosed five members of the committee in favor of it, and seven against it, the division not being on party lines. The vote was: Ayes Ray, Warner, Henry, Smith, Republicans, and Griggs, Democrat. Noes Sulloway, Kerr, Gibson, Stur tevant, Republicans; Norton, Demo crat, and Botkin and Castle, Populists. This praotically ends the effort to se cure the enactment of a general meas ure along these lines at this session. Chairman Ray, who was instructed at the last meeting to appoint a sub committee to draft a service pension bill," notified the committee today that he would appoint the subcommittee in a few days. During the entire time of the senate today, the Indian appropriation bill was under consideration. The reading of the bill was completed and all the committee amendments were adopted and subsequently several amendments of a minor character were attached to the measure. Allen enlivened the proceedings a few minutes before adjournment by making an attack on Speaker Reed for preventing the enactment, as the Ne braska senator declared, of meritorious legislation sent to the house by the senate. He denounced the speaker's action in this regard as "a disgrace" to congress and to the American people. When a point of order was made against him for the use of improper language concerning the other branoh of congress, Allen said lie was stating only the truth and that he was respon sible here or elsewhere, at any time for his statements. It was expected to oonclude the con sideration of the pending bill today, but when an appeal waB taken from the ruling of the vice-president against Allen that an amendment offered by Thurston was not in order, the point of order was made by Allen that a quorum was not present. A roll-'calldisclosed the absence of a quorum, and the sen ate adjourned. The house was in a very bad temper today, and the whole session was con sumed in filibustering against two bills of minor importance, one to issue a duplicate check, and the other to nmke Rockland, Me., a snbport of entry. Neither got farther than the engross ment and third reading. The trouble arose over the enforcement of the rule against the discussion of irrevelant sub jects, when Handy attempted to reply on tho floor during the consideration of those bills to a letter recently written by Thomas F. Bayard, in denunciation of the free-silver democracy. Roll-call followed roll-call all day long, and par tisan spirit reached a high pitch. Fi nally, when it became nvhlmit tlmt progress could be made with the bills preseiueu, uujournmeut was taken until Monday. Washington, Feb. 12.

The Press this morning says that representatives of the Cuban junta yesterday gave out copies of a letter Bigned Enrique Dupuy do Lomo, who is minister of Spain at Washington, and addressed to Jose Canelojas, who went to Cuba lust Sep tember us Premier Sagasta's personal representative. In this letter the Spanish minister refers to President McKinley as "weak and catering to the rabble," and as "a low politician, who desires to stand well with jingoeB of his party." The Washington correspondent of the Press says that when a copy of the letter was shown to de Lome, he promptly prouounoed it as being a forgery. He also says that an official .of the state department, discussing the matter, exclaimed: "De Lome did not write the letter. The Cuban junta has been imposed upon by somebody." On the other hand, Horatio L. Ru bens, couiiGCl for tliu Cuban junta, says: "We know absolutely that this letter is genuine. A man risked his life to obtain it. We do not hesitate to ac knowledge that it was Btolen from Can eljas. It is written on the paper of the legation. Tho handwriting is de Lome's, and the signature is his. He may deny it until he is black in the face, but it is genuine, and everybody who has seen the letter knows that it is. The man who stole it abstracted it from the envelope, and left the latter. If he had attempted to steal the en velope he would never have got away with the letter." Mr. Rubens was asked about the translation, and if there was not some danger that it was wrong. He replied: No; the translation was made by a man who thoroughly understands both languages, and is as near correct as a translation can be." "Where is the letter now?" he was asked. "That I decline to answer." Senitntion at Washington. Washington, Feb. 11. The publica tion of a letter bearing the signature of the Spanish minister, Dupuy de Lome, addressed to Benor Canelejas and making severe strictures on Presi dent MoKinley, has created a profound impression in official circles, and it is expected to bring about important re sults in the immediate future. The authenticity of the letter cannot be established from any official source, 'nor is any denial of it given out from any quarter. A strong impression pre vails that the letter is genuine in its substantial features. Little doubt ex ists in offlcal circles that if the genu ineness of the letter is fully estab lshed it will result in the retirement of of De Lome and his replacement by another minister. At the Spanish legation every ave nue of inquiry as to the letter is closed. The minister positively declines to be seen concerning the subject. He will neither affirm nor deny the accuracy of the letter as a whole or in part. CANNON AND MASON. Senators' Stirring: Appeals In Behalf ol the Cubans. Washington, Feb. 11. For more than three hours today the senate chamber rang with eloquent appeals in behalf of the Cuban insurgents. An nounced speeches were delivered by Cannon and Mason in advocacy of the adoption of resolutions which they pre sented to the senate yesterday. Fol lowing Cannon's Bpeech, Hale ad dressed the senate briefly, urging the senate to uphold the polioy of the ad ministration. The galleries were packed With peo ple, aware that this would be a field day for Cuban oratory. While Cannon was speaking, a sen sationnl incident occurred. A mem bar of the house, standing near the speaker, audibly denounced as a lie, seemingly, some statement Cannon had made. Cannon, pale with feeling. made reply to what at the moment seemed an insult, but which was sub sequently satisfactorily explained. The Republican majority was in oreased by one when the house un seated Plowman of Alabama, a Demo orat, giving the seat to Aldrich. a Re publican. This was the first contested election case decided by the present nouse against the present Bitting memoer. Those who spoke on the case were settle, Hamilton, Bartlett and Taylor.
