Congress Building Burned.
Washington, June 25. Minister Stro
bel, at Santiago, has sent the state de
partment the following: "I regret to re
port the destruction by fire of tbe build
ing occupied by the house of congress.
The edifice was regarded as the finest in
Chili, and but little of the furniture or
archives were saved. The loss is esti
mated at about $1,000,000 in United
States gold, without considering the ar
chives, which can never be replaced.
The building was began in 1857, but was
not dedicated until 1876, during the
presidency of Frederick Errazuris. '
"While there are r a mora that the fire
was tbe work of incendiaries, it seems to
be more naturally the result of accident.
There were several lighted stoves in the
building, which probably caused an' ex
plosion by escaping gas.
"Tbe government has called for plans
for a new building, notifying congress
that on their completion it will ask for
funds for its reconstruction. An extra
session of congress, called to consider
the financial question, is now being held
in the state university."
"Julius Negbauer, an American
citizen, 65 years old, was found dead in
a small hotel May 4. Minister Strobel
buried him, and took charge of bis
effects, 469 in Chilean currency, and a
little clotning. The minister is seek'
ing information as to his antecedents.
