.No intelligent estimate of the money
less by the explosion and fire can t)e
made. In the opinion of capitol officials
and mechanics who examined the
structure the loss will reach probably
$200,000 to the btdlding. The loss on the
library and records a's stated above, can
scarcely be estimated in dollars and
cents. A mililon dollars could not re-
place them because of many of them uo
duplicates are in existence.
The capitol building has been dam-
aged a number of times before by fire.
but it is believed that this fire w|l
prove to be the most disastrous in the
history of the building. On two (inca-
stuns prior to this fires have been
started by explosions of gas. Seven-
teen years ago a large amount o~ dam-
age was done to the same part of the
building by an explosion of this kind.
and in 1876 there was an explosion of
gas that killed one man and eame near
killing another. *

Washington, Nov, 7.--The'army In-
vestigation commission will soou go
in sight when the Maria Teresa went
down. The Vulcan remained at her
post until all the crew from the Teresa
were rescued. When the line between
the ships parted the cruiser was sink-
ing rapidly. Then in the darkni~ss the
Vulcan moved away and signals from
the tag were not answered.
[The Infants Maria Teresa was In her
prime the pride of Spain. It was not so
much her power as a fighting ship that
made her dear to the hearts of the Span-
lards as the circumstances in which the
vessel was built and launched. When the
cruiser was floated it was the queen regent
herself that released the boat from the
ways. The building of the Maria Teresa
was attended with great enthusiasm at a
special plant In Bilbao under the ram'e of
La Sociedad Anonlma de l,os Astllleros del
Nervion. From this plant the Infants
Maria T~resa was la~nehed in 1890.
This superb war vessel was 364 feet long.

mean draft, and her displacement, wltb all
stores on board, 7.000 tons. She was what
ts called technlcallvy an armored cruiser.
Her protection consisted of a belt on the
water line 12 inches the(k, extending over
a length of 315 feet. Around the positions
of the heavy guns was Worked armor10V,
inches tn thickness. She had a proteet~(i
deck three inches thick The main armor
belt was five feet six Inches in width. For
armament the Maria Teresa had twe 11-
tnch and ten {].5-Inch Hontoria guns in her
main battery and 16 rapid-fire guns in the
secondary battery. In speed she was ths
queen of the Spanish navy.
The Infanta Maria Teresa was disabled
in the great naval battle Juat outslde San-
tiago de Cuba harbor July 3 last, When
Bampson's shtps, under the temporary
command of Commodore ~chley, wlped
out Cervera's squadron. The Teresa sailed
out of the bay at 9:35 o'clock that morning,
bearing Cervera's flag and leading the
Spanish squadron In its rushdor liberty.
The Brooklyn, Texas, Oregon, Indtana'and
Iowa, asalsted by the other vessels In the
American navy, poured a storm of shell
into the flying Spaniards. During the first
15 minutes of the engagement the Oquendo
