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. * & Generons Gift.

V~'lll fSo to t~antIago, 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. f5 feet 2 tnehes of beam, 21 feet 6 Inches 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 and the Maria Teresa Were set on fire by the Amerlcan shells and Were run to shore wre a , The board all their available ~ employ As fast as a mangled worltmnu waa,ex~ tricated he was tenderly carried to o.~e of the waiting hospital ambu|aneet~ and the usual pitiful scenes were ~tnestmd at morgue andho~ffdta]s.
