THE SCENES OF RUIN
Results of the Fire at Crip
pie Creek.- -
DESOLATION SEEN EVERYWHERE
Only a Few Scattering; Buildings Ite
iukIu Standing Thousands Are
Left Homeless.
Chipplk Ckkee, Colo., April 30.
In a general way the ground within the
fire limits does not present even a de
cent rain. The fire swept everything
before it just as if a flaming broom had
passed over the district. The fire
moved generally in a northern direction,
spreading out eastward and westward
under . the impulse of the terrific wind
The Masonic temple, postotnce, ana a
few other scattering business structures
remain, but no vestige is recognizable of
furniture or fixtures, iron or glass,
everything having been melted away.
As the day advanced thousands of
people who had sought shelter in the
neighboring districts flocked back to the
scene ot their losses. Women and chil
dren came with their husbands and
fathers, but in most instances were
turned back. Smouldering heaps ot
debris were constantly bursting .into
flame, fanned by the rising wind. Twenty
acres of ashes are not very easy to han
dle when the wind gets into them, and
every available hose in town was put
in use again by 8 o'clock this morning
to flood the heaps of rains.
On all foothills reaching down to the
fire litiea stand homeless people awaiting
news. The most of them will leave town
if they can. ' " ' '
During the night officers and the military-patrolled
the streets and arrested
all who could not give a strict and
prompt account of themselves, thus
ridding the town of the lawless element.
The jail was full by midnight, and after
that the box cars at the Midland depot
were improvised into prisons. - The
morning train brought Sergeant Ben
nington and squad of ten men from
Denver, who at ones took charge of po
lice affairs.
The work of relieving destruction was
formally begun at 1 o'clock' this morn
ing, when many prominent men and
women met in the Masonic building to
organize. In addition to Cripple Creek
citizens there was a substantial repre
sentation present from Denver, Colorado
Springe, Pueblo, Victor, and smaller ad
joining townB.

l"arl
Bryan
the
Stand.
Nkwpokt, Ky., April 30. According
to the Kentucky law, which requires
that if the defendant Is to be put on the
the stand at all, he shall be called first,
Scott Jackson was this morning pat on
the witness stand.. He gave a brief
sketch of his life in Jersey City and New
York, and of his acquaintance with
Greencastle, Ind., where his mother
lives, and told briefly, his acquaintance
with Pearl Bryan. He was in Green
castle, Ind., from the spring of 1895
. until the middle of October in that year,
and he saw her - often. He admitted
. illicit relations with her during the last
Christmas holidays. . He was about to
. tell the statements made him by Will
Wood, concerning Wood's relations with
Pearl Bryan, when the court decided
that such testimony was not admissable.
Jackson said he had received many let
ters from Wood, but they were so vile
'that he destroyed them all except two,
which were now in the possession of the
prosecution. ' ' ;
STEAMKlt BERHDI1A SIGHTED.
Filibuster Loaded with Arms
and Mn
Jfor Cabs.
Jacksonville, Fla., April. 30. The
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
miDustering steamer .Bermuda was
sighted about 4 o'clock Monday after
noon twenty-five miles south of 'Moa
quito inlet and fully forty miles out at
eea. Captain E. J. Brown, of the coast
ing schooner Mabel, sighted the Ber
muda. The steamer passed about a
mile to the eastward of the Mabel.
Her fires were banked and she was going
very fast. Her course seemed to be
shaped for the Bahamas. Captain
Browu knows the Bermuda well, and
looked at her. through a glas9, but he
saw only four persons on deck. - Captain
Brown then ran his schooner in shore.
and when near New Smyrna, saw two
Spanish cruisers Bteaming slowly south.
One was the Reina Mercedes. The Ber
muda only eluded these vessels by stand
ing far out to sea after leaving the bar
at Mayport. When the- warships were
sighted, Captain Brown says the Ber
muda roust have been sixty miles south'
east. Captain Brown is a lriend of Can
tain Eeilly, of the Bermuda. He thinks
that Captain Keilly will take the Ber
muda east of the Bahamas and around
the eastern coast of Cuba, and finally
land the arms and men.
Off Cape Florida, Captain Brown
sighted a Spanish cruiser, which fol
lowed his vessel over twenty-five miles.
The Spaniards apparently finally con
cluded that the Mabel was harmless.
