The fire, which commenced at 10

the boys' dormitory was destroyed, did
not cool enough for search for the
bodies in the ashes until early this
morning. A", that time it was thought
only five children had been burned to
death. When the ashes bad cooled
enough to admit of a eearch, scores of
sympathizing friends and neighbors
began the sad task of fiudiog the

had perished. The search had been
hardly instituted when the terrible
truth that there were more than five
bodies in the ashes appeared. The
search continued until dawn, when 10
bodies had been found.

Washington, Jan. lo. Tne sup
porters of the free homestead bill fear
that the measure has been killed, so
far as this congress is concerned, by
the action of Speaker Reed in refer
ring to the house commltteo on public
laLds for the consideration of the
senate amendments. The house
committee is not strongly in fayor of
the plan. That committee voted to
report the bill to the house by a ma
jority of only one, when it provided
only for free homes for the Oklahoma
settlers.
The senate amendments greatly
widen the scope of the bill, extending
its provisions to all publio land states
and it is doubtful whether the house
committee will sanction the changes.
The bill's supporters fear that if the
committee does not make an adverse
report, it will keep the bill and take
no action on it before adjournment,
which course would effectually dispose
of it.

cures. We refer to One MinuteCougb

Except at a few Southern cities, as

chants throughout the country report
no noticeable change in trade features
and few, if any, indications of improve

collections continue slow. There has
been no revival in textile circles, ex
cept increased purchases of wool at
Boston by some of the larger manufac
turers.
There have been 478 business fail

compared with 488 last week: 412 in
the second week of January, 1896; 378
in the like week of 1895, and as com

Obstructionists Hold
Organisation.
SaLem, Or., Jan. 17. The house
held a brief Sunday session, and ad
journed till tomorrow.
Tonight the Benson men held a pro
tracted caucus and discussed the situa
tion in all its phases. A committee of
three, consisting of Representatives
Crawford. Hogue and Mitchell, ap
pointed to confer with the opposition,
made its report. Its tenor was that it
had discovered no signs of yielding in
tbe obstructionists. The caucus took
no definite action, except to resolve
informally to stand together and force
some solution of the problem.
As a matter of fact, it is clear that
the Benson men, under pressure from
Senator Mitchell, are willing to with
draw ther candidate. It has become a
vital necessity to organize the house,
in order to afford an opportunity for
a vote on the senatorial question.
There is no prospect of a change, or of
any decisive action of any kind; but it
is clear tonight that within a few days
definite overtures are likely to be made
to the opposition for an agreemeut on
any available republican as. speaker.
Riddle is the name most frequently
mentioned in this connection, and it
is not too much to say that Riddle has
a better chance to secure the speaker
ship than Benson. The trouble is that
tbe Bourne men show no signs of
yielding in loyalty to their candidate,
and they say they will aceept no com
promise that does not include the elec
tion of their chief as sneaker.
Havana, Jan. 18 The gunboats
Centinela and Relauipago left Manza-
nillo on the night of January 16,' with
the object of going up the river Cauto
to Fort Guamo, in. compliance with
the order of General Bosch. At 10
o'clock on the morning of January 17,
both gunboats were near Mango land
ing, when an explosion of a torpedo,
which had been well planted in the
river, sunk the Relampago. Those of
the srew who survived swam toward
the shore, but were fired on from tbe
banks. At this critical moment a beat
was launched from the Centinela,
which rescued the men from the water.
In view of the instructions and the
fact that the commander of the Cen'
tinela and nearly all of the crews of
both boats bad been wounded, the ex
pedition had to return to Manzanillr.
Senor Martinez, of the Relampago,
was seriously wounded in the explo
sion, as well as Gunner Francisco Mar
tinez and three seamen, while Pay
master Antero, Chief Officer Masquero,
Engineer Pazadela and the assistant
pilot and four others were slightly
wounded. Six of the officers and crew
were killed outright, and all of the
rest received wounds of more or less
severity. .
On the Centinela the commander,
Senor Puerto, was seriously wounded,
while one of the crew was killed and
Corporal Manuel Cubanas, the pilot,
Assistant Engineer Martinez and six
of the crew were wounded.

WITHOUT A NAVY.
Kingdom of Belglnm Has a Water Fraat,
Dut No Hhlp of War.
No U. citation has been extended to
the naval authorities of one neighbor
ing country to participate in the festiv
ities at the opening of the ship canal
between the 2torth sea and the Baltic,
which are to attract the armed ships ot
various European , and American
governments. . That country, says the
New York Sun, is Belgium, and it is
peculiar among European countries
having a water front from He fact that
it has no navy
This is the more remarkable when it
is considered that Belgium includes
within its borders one of the oldest
harbors in Europe Antwerpwhich,
at the zenith of its commercial success,
had as many as 2,000 ships. The com
merce of Antwerp is still considerable,
and a fair share of it is done with tbe
United States.
When tbe war of 1S30 culminated in
the independence of Belgium from the
rule of the Netherlands, the' two
countries were so divided that Holland
had the larger share of the scacoast
line, and Belgium hod a larger measure
of the inland country. Holland re
tained all the colonial possessions of
the two countries, and, in order to keep
up connection with them and protect
them from hostile assaults, the navy
was maintained by Holland.
Belgium, having no foreign colonies
to protect, was under no obligations to
maintain a navy. Holland has now a
considerable navy, having 100 ships and
7.600 sailors, but Belgium Is able to get
along without any navy at all, though
the Belgium army, on a peace footing,
ia 2,000 men stronger than the Dutch
army, and, on a war footing, has 100,000
men more. ; r . ,
