"What can I do for you ? " asked oneral Wey-
ler , as I was ushered Into his presence at
the palace toGday.
Tlio general has converted the picture gal
lery Into his private work room. The desk
at which he sat , near a window , was covered
v/lth mar maps and reports from generals
In the field. Scores of generals , other offi
cers of high rank and citizens with petitions
were In the ante-room , all anxious to see the
new governor general , when I presented my
card. An adjutant , took the card to General
Weyler , and a few moments later I was ad
mitted , General Weyler received me with
the greatest suavity , and greeted me with the
Inquiry as to what he could do for me.
"General , " I replied , "I want to know
how your new proclamations' , Issued yester
day , affect Americans In Cuba. "
"They do not refer to you , " ho answered ,
cmlllr.gly shaklnR hands. "The American
correspondents are exempt , unless they fur-
nlMi Information to the Insurgents concern
ing the movements of the Spanish troops.
I know you would not do that. "
"I am here solely to send war news , " I
explained. "How do the proclamations apply
to other Americans on the Island plantero
and merchants ? "
WILL MAKE NO DISTINCTION.
"Naturally , " raid General AVeyler , "I ex
pect everybody , Americans Included , to com-
l ly with my orders. They must not , and I
know will not , communicate with the enemy.
Should any American violate the orders.In .
that respect he w"ll bo treated In strict ac
cordance with the treaty stipulations. I shail
always adhere strictly to the letter of the
treaties between Spain nnd foreign natlon.3. "
"Do ycu Intend to go to the field soon to
take command ? "
"Not at present. I have too much work
on hand. I am familiarizing myself with the
stcto of affairs In Cuba. Should an emer
gency arlee , and should my presence be
needed In any particular place , or should
there bo a midden change In the situation
> 'Uc-h au I do not expect I should go to the
field Immediately. "
I told General Weyler that the American
correspondents were pleased at the an
nouncement of the removal of pome restric
tions upon the Bending of news.
"I want you to rend news with perfect
freedom , " the general declared. "Any time
you are In , dcubt about anything come -to
me. I will gladly help you. I want you
to know I am your friend. "
General IVeyle 's proclamation outline. ?
h's plans for distinguishing between the
friends and the enemlea of Spain , and for
disposing of the latter.
Beginning at he eastern part of Cuba ,
where the Insurgents have full sway outside
the garrisoned towns , the general orders
everybody to leave the country regions and
gather at he different military headquarters ,
where they will be under surveillance. Even
the stores are to bo abandond to the gov
ernment , and any sort ot property which does
or may afford a hiding1 place for rebels may
be destroyed In the discretion of the district
commander.
General Weyler assumes supreme judicial
authority , and delegates It to the military
commanders In certain cases , their action to
bo subject to his approval.
THESE MUST DIE.

MOVEMENTS OF THE REBELS.
General Maceo was at San Antonio do Las
Vegas yrstcrday with a strong force. That
town Is six miles noitheast of San Felipe ,
which ls considered a strong point on the
troclm. Colonel Scgura , learning Maceo was
there , led a Spanish column out from San
Felipe , but the Insurgents retired to the
hills without much fighting. With Macco
were Ilia rebel leaders Ulro and CaKello.
The Spaniards are said to have captured
Fcventy-one horses and a "largo quantity"
of arms and ammunition , though It Is con
tinually reported on both sides that the
rebsls are very short of these articles.
A train convoying a Spanish force under
General Echaguo was attacked at Molina
by Insurgents , who thought the troops
muet ho guarding a valuable train of mer
chandise. The rebels were driven off with
out stopping the train ,

HAVANA , Cuba ( Via Tampa , Fla. ) , Feb.
17. ( New York World Cablegram Special
Telegram. ) The Santlsomo sugar plantation
at Trinidad , near Sagua la Grande , Santa
Clara province , belonging to the Count Mora
estate , has suffered but slightly at the hands
of the Insurgents. The residence Is one of
the finest en the Island , and In front ot U
stand four palm trees , famous tor their
height and beauty. The place Is dcecrtcd
now , the planter having come to Havana
with his family. Three thousand rebels , un
der Rabl , visited the plantation a few days
ago , had breakfast and then rode away. The
old keeper , left behind to watch the properly
when the planter came" here , was Just con
gratulating himself on what he considered a
narrow escape , when there was a loud knockIng -
Ing nt the main gate. Loklng out , the
keeper saw eight "platcados" ( camp follow
ers ) . The Spanish soldiers always shoot a
plateado when they find one , and Gomez has
given positive orders to hang them. The
plateados finally broke the gate , entered
the mansion and began to ransack It. The
keeper slipped out the back way , mounted a
horse and gallcpcd In the direction taken
by the rebel band. After a mile's hard rid
ing he came up with Chief Rabl and re
ported what had occurred. Rabl took a de
tachment and went back to capture the
band. As the Insurgents nenred the planta
tion two plateados escaped , but six were
captured. Rabl had them searched and
found on each something belonging to the
plantation. The captive ? were then tried by
a drum-head court martial and sentenced to
death.
NOT WORTH A SHOT.
"Wo cannot waste valuable ammunition
on you fellows , " said the rebel chief. TurnIng -
Ing to the plantation watchman he asked ,
"Havo you any stout rope about the place ? "
When the condemned plateados heard this
they begged for mercy.
"Mercy , " laughed the rebel chief. "You
fellows don't deserve any. You show no
mercy to the poor people you rob and kill. "
The watchman scon returned with ssveral
pieces of rope. Two plateados were grabbed
nnd hanged to two large , ornamental brass
and Iron lamp posts In front of the mansion.
"Where are you going to put these other
fellows ? " queried the chief of his men. "If
we hang them all to these posts we might
Injure the posts. "
"Why , hero are four palms , " said a lleu-
tcrant.
"That's true enough. " replied Chief Rabl ,
"and what's more , wo have Just four fellows
left. Hoist up , boys. "
A few moments later the four plateados
were hanging to the palm trees.
"If you have any more visitors 'of the
kind these fellows belong to , " remarked the
rebel chief to the keeper , "let us know. We
arc always glad to be of service. "
A few moments later the rebels were off
again end the watchman had a job burying
the six plateados.
MAKES TRAVELING DELIGHTFUL.
Mr. Schutto. a native of the United States ,
who has lived In Cuba sixty years and owns
a Inge plantation near Collsco , Matanzas
province , left his home a week ago to come
here. There had been no train ? running eai't
of Matanzas City , but when the railway au
thorities finally determined to try to run
one , Mr. Schuttq dec'dcd to risk the trip , as
he had important business. Twenty-five vol
unteers went along as a guard. Among the
few passengers aboard was an American
whose name I did not learn , and his flvo
daughters , whs left home to escape the revo
lutionists. At Co Us co the train was blocked
by the burned station. A small band of - insurgents
surgents suddenly rode up and the volunteers
piomptly fired on them , shooting out of the
cars. In a very short time the train was
surrounded by 500 insurgents , who opened
firevigorously. . The volunteers jumped out
Of the cars and took to the woods , while the
unprotected passengers threw themselves on
the floor of the cars.
When the Insurgents saw the volunteers
running cff they stopped firing on the train
and a squad with revolvers went through It.
The passengers were told to leave the train.
Then the baggage was seized , the cars were
set on fire and the engine was wrecked. The
passengers were not harmed , though badly
scared.
INSURGENTS ARE PLENTIFUL.
Mr. Schutte was compelled to return homo
over the mountains. The next day he started
east , again , on horseback , selecting moun
tain paths , known only to natives. I asked
him If there are many Insurgents In Matan
zas province.
"Yes , " he answered , "In the part where 1
live there Is scarcely anything elre. Insur-
genU actually swarm there. "
"Havo they burned any of your cane or
destroyed your property ? " I asked.
"No. They treat mo all right. They
come to my place often , make themselves
at home , help themselves to a horre or coater
or a pair of shoes , or take a hat and that's
all. Now I am trying to get back homo
again. Goodness knows how I'll get there. "

LONDON , Feb. 17. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Tonight's
discussion of the Venezuelan question In
the House of Commons may lend to Im
portant developments. It Illustrates forci
bly the points made In the London
Times' recent New York cablegrams , outlined
In my dispatch to the World last Saturday ,
as well as the warnings given In this cor
respondence for a month.
Atherly Jones , the mover of an amendment
advising the settlement of the dispute by ar
bitration , Is personally of no consequence ,
and his long speech contained no new facts.
When ho finished , Arthur Balfour , as a
leader of the House , took the highly excep
tional course of Interposing with a strong
appeal to the members to let the debate drop
It on the grounds of national policy. .The
exact concluding words of his brief speech
are so significant I reproduce them. lie
said , with a solemnity of manner that had
an Immediate effect on the British members
present : "I do not Intend to make a speech
In Intervening between the mover and the
seconder ; I only desire to make an appal to
the House on my responsibility ns a member
of the , government. In my Judgment n con
tinuation of tlila debate cannot serve the
objects which the honorable member quite
tiuly says he had In view. It will not have
the effect of making a satisfactory and
honorable arrangement more easy. 1 earn
estly trust that the House , feeling how grave
rra the matters at stake , will not take this
premature opportunity for discussing the
policy which has been pursued , and which
Is being pursued. "
SMOTHERED THE AMENDMENT.
Mr. Labouchere rose It ) second the amend
ment. Though ordinarily by no means
amenable to ministerial appeals , he responded
to Mr. Balfour by admitting that In the face
of such an expression from a responsible1
minister. It would bo Inadvltable to pro
ceed with the discussion.
The Irish nationalist members , however ,
declined to assent to this proceeding. Mr.
Dillon expressed a strong hope that the
mover of the amendment to the address
In reply to the queen's speech would press
It to a division.
Sir William Harcourt , the liberal leader , on
the other sand , pleaded that the amendment
ba withdrawn by consent of the House. But
at the same time he complained of the delay
In presenting the British cas > c and made a
strong argument In favor of arbitration.
The manifest anxiety of both the govern
ment leader and' the opposition leader to
Dmother discussion was responded to In a re
markable manner by Speaker Gully , who de-
cleared the power's withdrawal of the amend
ment carried , though at the moment Michael
Davitt was on his feet to continue the discus
sion. The coup by the speaker was Deceived
with obvious satisfaction by Mr. Balfour and
his colleagues , while the Irish members
strenuously protested that an unfair ad
vantage had been taken of them.
Immediately on the conclusion of the dis
cussion a representative of the World had a
conversation in the members' lobby with a
prominent official of the late liberal govern
ment , an eminent authority on foreign af
fairs , who stipulated that his name should
not be published , Being asked far his in
terpretation of Mr. Bilfour's great nnx'ety
to etop the discussion , he said :
"I believe the affair Is In a decidedly deli
cate position. I know Sir William Harcourt
thinks it to be most critical , but my Information
mation from various sources does not lead
me to believe it to bo really very threatening
to the peace of the two countries. Tlio dif
ficulty in the way cf arbitration Is Lord
Saliybuiy. I know that Mr. Balfour and Mr.
Chambirlaln personally favor arbitration ns
strongly as does Sir William Harcourt , but
Lord Salisbury so far won't concede what Is
necessary to make arbitration possible. "
BOTH SIDES ARE WORRIED.
Mr. Balfour'sactlon has caused a very un
easy feeling among the members of Parlia
ment generally , as It was fully cxpcctad
that the negotiations would liava proceeded
far enough by this time to enabla some
general announcement to be- made by the
government. The sudden curtailing of the
discussion Is calculated to produce In tlio
public mind precisely these Injurious effects
Mr Balfour obviously desired to prevent.
Sir William Harconrt's dlscovo'y for such
It appears to be that Mr. Olney had stated
In his dispatch that the settled or occupied
district should be a subject of special ref
erence in th e arbitration agreement , was
one point which appears to make for an
amicable feolutlon.
The Irleh members will decide at their
meeting tomorrow whether they will "put
down" the amendment again es ns to force
a division and compel the government to
dec'aro Itself one way or the other. Mr.
Davitt told tlio World correspondent to
night that he favored pressing the govern
ment to a definite policy or to a definite
Imue , and thinks it likely that the party
will agree with him.
If Mr. Balfour nnd Mr. Chamberlain take
a determined attitude against Lord Salts-
bury , he can reslet them , but the danger
Is that an opportunity for a settlement may
be gone beyond recall while they are settling
their dlfferencey. DALLAIID SMITH.

tinued In the House of Cora'- . ' { * " Tim
othy Harrington , Parnelllte member tor Dub
lin harbor , moved an amendment to the
effect that amnesty be granted to the Irish
political prisoners. The motion was sup
ported by Mr. John Redmbml , Tarnclllte
member of watertonl city ; Mr. II , C. Plun-
kett , member tor the south division of Dub
lin county ; Prof. E. II. Lecky , liberal union
ist member for Dublin university , and
others.
Mr. Balfour , the conservative leader , moved
the closure , which was carried by a vote of
270 to 107.
Mr. Harrington's motion was then de
feated by n vote of 279 to 117.
Mr. Atherljr-Jones , liberal member for
the northwest division of Durham , then
moved the following amendment :
"And while we are glad to hear that her
majesty's relations with the foreign powers
continue to be friendly , we deplore that her
majesty's speech does not contain an assur
ance that all matters of difference between
this country and the republic of Venezuela
In relation to the delimitation of the fron
tier of that state nnd British Guiana will be re
ferred to arbitration , In accordance with the
proposal of the government of the United
States. "
In moving the amendment Mr. Atherly-
Jones wld ho thought the government should
be grateful for an opportunity to ascertain
the opinion of the House of Commons upon
the policy It ought to pursue. In accepting
the amendment In that spirit , lie continued ,
It would only be following the example of
President Cleveland , who asked the opinion
of congress upon the message submitted to
Orr > it Britain.
Mr. Atherly-Jones then asked the House
to act In the spirit of the resolution already
adopted , that all disputes and difference ! . '
between Great Britain nnd the United States
should bo settled by arbitration , falling any
ether mode. While the speaker had a high
regard for the marquis of Salisbury , he In-
Elbted that the question involves such tre
mendous ISSUCB that lie believed he was ex
pressing the views of everybody of demo
cratic tendencies when he said they would
not be Justified In leaving thtm In the hands
of two or three men , however able they
might be. The speaker -submitted that
arbitration of the present dispute was most
In ccnscnance with the honor , dignity nnd
permanent Interests of Great1 Britain. It
wan quite admitted that Great Britain had
the right to resent Interference on the part
of a foreign state when such interference
lavored of menace , but hedetiled that this
character attached to the course taken by
the United States. ,
Continuing , Mr. Atherly-Jonfs remarked :
"That state would have been untrue to Its
great position as the protectories the repub
lics of America If It had not responded to
the entreaties of Venezuela/ '
Mr. Atherly-Jones said It , was admitted In
1841 that the Orlnocs should constitute the
boundary. Since that time there hr.d been
seven changes In the boundary .claim. In the
face of these facts , how could It be contended
by Great Britain that the Scnomburgk line
was outside the pale of arbitration.
Having expressed dissatisfaction at Lord
Granvllle's treatment of the ( question in 1SS1.
Mr. Atherly-Jones protested , , against the as-
'sumptlon that the action , cf the United
States government was only an election
dodge. "We ought not to Judge the action
of the government by President Cleveland
nnd Secretory Olncy's .dispatches , , but by the
friendly representations received subse
quently. " j
DEBATE HINDERS SETTLEMENT.
Mr. A. J. Balfour , first lordof tlie treasury
and government leader , thtfl.jarose to reply
and said he desired to appeal to the House-
that In his opinion a continuation of the
debate would make an honorable arrange
ment of the matter- greater difficulty. He
trusted that the Hbuee wjuld not take a pre-
matuio opportunity of discussing the policy
which had been pursued or wlilch ought to
be" pursued.
John Dillon , anti-ParnslHte , thought that
the American people ought to know that
Intense feeling existed In the House of Com
mons against any attempt to bring on a
war en thla question. The conduct of the
American , government , he skjd , had been
most patient and fair. It was only after
a year's delay and shuffling on the part of
Great Britain , followed by an Insulting dis
patch from Lord Salisbury , that the presi
dent had ssnt his message. It ought to be
understood In America that Lord Salisbury's
dispatch did not represent the feelings of
England or Ireland.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt , the liberal
leader In the Houoe of Commons , said Mr.
Atbeily-Jones' amendment had been moved
In the interes-t of arbitration , but It was
couched In a form which woijld censure the
government , and If a devlslon were taken
upon It there would bo a great majority
agaliiBt It , and It would go forth to America
nnd to the world that the Housp of Commons
had pronounced against arbitration. He be
lieved a great majority 'In the Houseof
Commons and elsewhere "wcje In favor of
arbitration 'on a proper basls' and the main
object should be how best to give expression
to this feeling. He deplored the use of ex
asperating language. Nothing could be more
Injurious and untrue , he said , than to say
that .the president's message was an election
dodge. The United Statesjiad been pressing
the question for settlementf4r , ten years In
the most salutary manner. We must all
endeavor on both Hides to remove the sources

He was strongly Impressed , he continued ,
with the evils and dangers of delay In com
ing to some agreement. He would be glad
to know from the government the cause for
the delay In presenting the British case. It
waa desirable the public oil both fildfs of the
Atlantic chould be Informed of this In order
to conc'llato ths differences between us.
Many differences had already been removed.
Instead of resenting wo should now welcome
the co-operation of the United States. So far
as tlis question cf arbitration 'went , all were
agrufd that It was an Impossibility In the
present circumstances to lay down a fixed
boundary. He also agrcod with Secretary
Olnoy that the arbitration cjionld embrace
the value of the 0893(1310(1 rescriptlve titles

Sir William Vernon Harcpurt concluded
a * follows : "I believe the. real
points of difference , 'botween the two
goveinments arc Infelgtihtlcant. But
nothing Is so dangerousf 03 to Icava dlo-
putes of this kind to the 'Igiwant prejudices
of the people , who do riot understand the
Quet't'on. ' I venture to suggest to Mr.
Atherly-Jones that after tliobtatement the
government has rnado It would ! be useless to
pursue his motion to a division ; , which would
entirely misrepresent .tlie feeling of the ,
Hous ? , besides doing Infinite Injury In Amer
ica , I see no maner pf settling this ques
tion , except to encourage nupport of the gov
ernment In a course \v/ilch. If followed , will
most epodlly and r8ucc i'ully lead to a
good understanding between England and the
United States , " ( Cheeis ) .
Mr. Atherly-Jones tlion withdrew his
amendment. Mr. John Dillon objected to the
withdrawal and an altercation with the
speaker ensued , but the latter refused to
uphold the objection.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 17. The president
today sent to the house In answer to a resolution
elution of Inquiry , nil of the correspondence
had with the government of Qcrmany relative
to the restrictions placed upon American In
surance companies In Prussia. It Is shown
by the correspondence submitted that on
April. 27. 1805 , the Mutual Life Insurance
company of New York was notified to con
form to certain stipulatedPrussian methods
within a fortnight on pain of the cancella
tion of Its concession. Immediately upon
hearing of this , Acting Secretary Uhl pent
n cable message to Ambassador tlunyon stat
ing on representations from the company ,
that the company's methods In Germany had
been unchanged since the concession was
given , and that It was Impossible to frame a
special system for use In Prussia. In a let
ter to Mr. nunyon , Mr. Uhl sayo : "How
ever clear may be the right of
each state to determine , the condi
tions on which It will permit foreign
corporations to carry on business within Its
Jurisdiction there prevails In Mich matters
a comity which It Is to the Interest of all
nations to maintain and which Is well Illus
trated In the freedom and equality with
which foreign corporations are permitted to
extend their operations In the UnHcd
States. There Is ground for the belief that
the necessary result of the curoa lately
adopted by the Prussian authorities Is re-
upcct to the Mutual Life Insurance company
would bo to give to the beneficent principle
of comity a restricted and uncertain oper
ation. "
A long correspondence followed the with
drawal of the concess on by . .the Prussian
government. The last Important communica
tion In the correspondence Is from Mr. Run-
yon to Secretary Olney , under date of Janu
ary 5. It shows that the Imperial secretary
had Informed Mr. Runyon that the matter
of the reconstruction of the withdrawal of
the concession would be considered and that
the subject would bo referred by the new
Prussian minister for foreign affairs to now
experts on his accession to ofllcc.

LONDON , Feb. 17. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) It Is claimed
en behalf of Lord Dunraven that A. Cats
Lcdyard's icsolutlon was not fair In assum
ing him to be prosecutor , a proposition he
expressly declined , and which dlscla'meras
several times repeated by Mr. A&kwlth , one
of lib counsel. Lord Dunravcn went to
New York e.a witness only and really to ex
plain himself with a view to asauaglng the
ill .feeling . "between- the two countries. The
present attitude cf Lord Dunrave"n , as ex-
pi cssed to his frlenda here and yachting sa-
soclates , may be authoritatively stated.
Before the meeting of the New York
Yacht club Lord Dunraven had dlsatched
hlo letter to Mr. Phelps , and It Is known
this will be his final communication , and
that ho will not write any further letter In
consequence of terms , pending the motion ,
lib views' having been fully expressed prior
to the. publication of the motion. It Is
ieprted that , while naturally disagreeing
with the suggestion In the argument of the
report , that his complaint was unreasonable
to make at the time , and still adhering to
the opinion he has maintained that action
at the time of the race , for the purpose of
proof cr disproof , should have been taken ,
Lord Dunraven accepts the chief findings
of the commltt5e , and Judging from views
of Engllch yachtsmen generally Lord Dun-
raven will object to the acceptance of the
mathematical diagram as proof , and will not
apologize for having made a bona fide com
plaint to the proper authorities , whose duty
It was to deal with ths matter.

ciers believe that American finances are all

enough revenue to meet our expense' . They
say that If we had this sufficient revenue ,
the so-called endless chiln of. depositing nnd

be broken. There Is a general feeling on

to the contrary notwithstanding. In all

"Before six months have passed all first

FIRE CUT OFF T1IEIR ESCAPE.
A small boy carelessly throwing a
match Into a pile of oily waste ,
a blazing mass of flames , 300 girls and
women frenzied with fright , fighting for life
as the blaze chased them , was the beginning-
at a fire tonight that consumed .thousands ,
ot dollars worth of property and caused the
destruction of many lives. From the out-
slde of the high building the first notice of
Impending disaster was lh Might of a b'ody
of girls at ) they rushed out upon the fire
tscapss from the windows , those who were-
more fortunate crowding cut the entrance.
Following them was a mass of smoke with
flashes of flame. Then the mass of frenzied
humanity , flndlnu the cgmnes too small
for Instant escape , began climbing-
over the sides of tha ( Ire escape nnd
bundles of clothing filled with humanity
dropped at the feet of horrified passersby.
Within twenty minutes after the fire started
there were three dead women laid upon tlio-
door of an adjoining store , and at least a
dozen burned and maimed girls and.
women taken to the hospitals or their homes.
Of the 330 girls and women In the building.
It Is presumed that at leapt a half dozen
are In the ruins , for It is impossible to lo
cate all and tht-ro may possibly be a score
of dead.
It wns Just thirty minutes before the closing
hour in Stctthelmer & Co.'s shirt waist fac
tory , on River stre2t , and the .150 girls nnd
women were working rapidly to finish up.
In the cutting room on the fifth floor the 1C *
girls were closing up their day's assignment *
and preparing to leave when the whirls
blew. Llllle Krelger , who wan working near
a machine , called to a small boy to light tlio
gas over her work. The boy struck a match
and tlnew the burning stub to the floor. It
struck a pile ot oil rags , and In an Instant
the girl was enveloped In ( lames. With her
clothes and hair burning , she rushed to the
window , and In an Instant the room became
a struggling , shrieking mass of humanity ,
filling the windows , the fire epcapea and the-
only stairway. Jamming ami pushing , tear
ing each other's clothes from tholr backs ,
turning In narrow corridors to find sister or
mother , or friend , the number In the. exits
was augmented every inlnutu by those from
the other floors ,
FOUGHT FOR THEIR LIVES.
These girls and women fought for their
lives to Ket away from the flames that
paemed to be growing to a monstrous size.
With rare presence of mind. Policeman Fnr-
rel , who was on the street , seeing that In
the panic a number were Hablo to jump , let
down the awnlne over the entrance. Barely
wns It down when two or three forms cam
flying down from the fifth and sixth storle
and bounclnc from tlio awning fell to the *
sidewalk. Lilly Krelger , over whose ma
chine the fire started , was ono of these. Sim
struck the awning , fell on her back and
bounced to her hands and knees on the walk.
She got up and staggered about unt'l people
ple helped her to her feet again.
By this time * nearly every window bad a
female form dangling from It , and when the
firemen arrived there was a hustle to get
the ladders up. At the center window on
the sixth floor a woman , hanging by her
hands , was forced out by the llamea licking ;
her face. With a last Klirlck , slio lot go and
came tumbling over and over until she struck
the pavement. When picked up It was found
that she was Mrs. Margaret Carroll. Her
hfilnal column waa forced through Into her
brain. '
Jiirt below her , In another window , liunR
a woman turning appealing glances to the
crowd , The smoke was pouring from the-
window , but as yet no flames were visible
and tlio crowd yelled encouragingly to her
to hold on , but a burnt of red Ilaino readied
out just then and licked her fuco , and In
an Instant her body wan rebounding from1
the pavement , She was Mrs. Foley , a widow ,
and when picked up was doad. On the eamo
floor , hanging from another window , was
another woman , and salvation In the shape
of a ladder , wat almost within her grasp when
her strength tolled and she vient whirling
down to death , She was Mrs. Kane.
OFFICERS SAVED MANY. I
The firemen and police worked likeheroHl
and to their energy wan due KteM saving ot
life. At least a dozen women anil girls were
