Smith, of company E, Seo ond Oregon. Among the incidents of yesterday's fighting was the coolness exhibited by a company of Washington volunteers, who crossed the river in a' native canoe under a heavy fire, 15 being taken across on eaoh trip of the em all. boat, to attack the enemy's trenches. The inability of the commissary train tc keep up with the advance led to con siderable suffering; and many of the men were completely exhausted when they were recalled, and, falling from the ranks, weie strung along for a dis tance of almost six miles, numbers re turning to camp in the artillery ambu lances, which were always close up tc the lines. The work of the ambulances was especially worthy of mention. Among the dead are several who were previously reported as wounded. Hebelf Were Entrapped. Manila, March 21. Some, of the rebels recently expelled from Cavite and the small towns in the vicinity of Pasig combined forces and last night, as already cabled, attacked a company of the Washington volunteers, a de tached post at Taguig, about a milt and a half southeast of Pasig. Gen eral Wheaton immediately reinforced tho Americans with ' two companiei each of the Washington and Oregon regiments. The post had held the enemy in check, and the fire of the re enforcing companies repulsed them, diiving them aoross to an island formed by the estuary. They were thus in front of the Twenty-second regulars. On discovering that they were en trapped the rebels fought desperately, aided materially by the jungle and the darkness, but they were completely routed, with heavy loss, after two hours' fighting. The Americans lost two killed and 20 wounded, among the latter Lieutenant Frank Jonet.

New York, March 20. Flamet which originated from the igniting of a lace curtain, burst forth from tne sec ond floor of the Windsor hotel, at Forty seventh street and Fifth avenue, short )y after 8 o'clock this afternoon, just as the St. Patrick's day parade wat pas sing the building, and in a few mo ments they had leaped to the roof and enveloped the entire Fifth-avenue and Forty-seventh Btreet fronts of the hotel. Ten minutes later the flames were roar ing through the interior of the hotel, and all escape by 'means of the stair ways and elevators was cut off. There was the wildest scene of excite ment within and without the building. Hundreds of guests and employes were in the hotel when the fire broke out, and for many of them to esoape with safety was impossible. Probably 15 lives were lost within a half hour, and 45 or 60 persons were injured in jump ing from windows and in rushing through the roaring flames in the cor ridors arid stairways. Many who were injured died later in nearby residences and at hospitals, and others who made wild leaps to the stone sidewalk were to badly injured that they are still hovering between life and death. It may be 24 hours or more before the complete list of fatalities becomes known, and it will be longer than that before it can be ascertained definitely how many charred bodies are in the mass of fallen masonry that mark the spot where the hotel stood. Thus far 14 are known to be dead, 42 injured, and 41 missing. TO POLICE PHILIPPINE WATERS. Mosquito Fleet Will Be Sent to Ad miral Dewey. Washington, March .20. -The navy department is taking steps toward the formation of a mosquito fleet for the Philippines. The conditions now pre vailing in Luzon indicate that for a long time it will be necessary to main tain a strict police of the coast and in land waters. For the inland work, especially, the department will need some very light-draught boats. For this work the big ocean tugs that formed the mosquito fleet that operated around Cuba during the blockade, and of which the government has a num ber, are now being looked over with a view to juBt ' this service. Some of them are on the Paoiflc coast. The department has figured out a coasting voyage that will take them up the Alaskan coast, coaling at Sitka, to Unalaska and Cook inlet, thence down through the Aleutian islands to Hako date, the northern point of Japan, from where they can make the run across the China sea down to Hong Kong and thence to the Philippines.

This section will be built and worked ex clusively br Germans and superintend ed by the German government It is not unlikely, however, that a portion of the oapital will be offered for sub scription in England.

TO AVOID POSSIBLE TROUBLE There Is Growing Danger of a Serloui Clash Between Americans and Cana dians Near 'the Border. Washington, Maroh 22. The Brit ish ambassador, Sir Julian Paunoefote, oonferred today with Secretary Hay in reference, it id understood, to a modus Vivendi to be observed along the Alaska border in order to obviate the possi bility of a clash, pending the final de limitation of the border. The need of this has been emphasized within the last few days by reports of a battle between the Canadian and the American prospectors on the Procupine river. These reports have caused con siderable uneasiness in official circles in London, and efforts have been made to learn the facta. There has been no official information, however, either here or in London. Just such a clash has been expeoted, and the reports have served to direct the attention of officials of the need of effeoting a border ar rangement. The preliminary move in this direction was made as soon as the Anglo-American commission adjourned without settling the border question. Sir Julian then suggested that a tem porary arrangement be made. This would maintain the status quo, each side making no further advanoe pend ing a final agreement on the boundary. A temporary line probably will be run by the two governments. This would not affect permanent interests, but would Berve as a legal barrier be tween the lawless fortune-seekers in that locality.' The plan is favorably received on both sides, and is likely to be carried into effect, although no agreement has been entered into thus far. Some important statements concern ing the boundary line situation are given in official correspondence now on file in the state and interior depart ments, which has nevei been made public. Governor Brady, of Alaska, at long ago as the latter part of February called attention to the extremely threatening condition of affairs. February 21, Governor Brady, who was here, had a conference with both Secretary Bliss, who was then just leaving the cabinet, and Secretary Hay, in which he urged that the aggressive acts of the Cana dians should be promptly met. A FATHER'S TERRIBLE CRIME Killed His Five Children and Attempt ed to Cremate the Remains. Hutchinson, Kan., March 22. An atrooious crime was revealed here to day when the coroner and his assist ants removed the dead bodies of five little children from the house occupied by John Moore, whioh burned at an early hour. A ooroner'i juiy investi gated the case, and, in accordance with the jury's recommendation, Mooie, the father of the dead children, wat arrest ed on a charge of murder. When the firemen and neighbors reached the burning house, the father was the only member of the family of seven found outside. His actions were queer, and he would not talk. While the building was still burning and his children within the burning walls, he took a horse from his stable and rode away. When the firemen entered the house, alter having partly quenched the flames, they found the five chil dren, lying side by side, in a bed on the floor, all dead, but not badly burned. The coroner's autopsy held this af ternoon developed convincing evidence of an awful orime. The skull of each obild was deeply indented, and fiom the dents long fractures extended. All but one of the children had been stabbed in the neck. The throat of the little 3-year-old, a boy, had been slashed so deep that the spinal column had been severed. It was upon these facts and the strange behavior of the father, that the authorities base their charge of murder. When Moore was oalled before the ooroner's jury to testify, he pretended to believe that an exploding lamp had oaused the fire, and that his children had met death in the flames. He testi fied that he was awakened from a deep sleep by the smoke, , and he found the house afire all over. It was 15 min utes, he said, before he recovered his senses, and, then he did not try to save the children, because he knew that they must be dead, as the fire had started in the room in which they weie sleeping. His riding away from the fire he explained by stating that his wife was away from home attending a sick lriend, and that he went to tell ber of their loss. Moore showed little conoern when the jury toturnod the verdict charging him with mnrdor. Soudan Expedition in the Fsil. London, March 21. An Anglo Egyptian expedition will be under taken next autumn, according '.o a dis patch from Cairo to the Daily Mail, to finally dispose of his khalifa, Abdullah, and the other dervish leaden in the Soudan. No Trouble In Porte Rico. Washington, March 22. The fol lowing dispatch was made public to day: ''San Juan de Porto Rico. Adjutant-General: Newspaper reports of conditions here and reported interviews with me stating the chances favor an uprising are absolutely false. There is a gTeat deal of idle talk on the part of the ignorant, but that as to resistance against law and order by the masses it absurd. HENRY." One MODUS VIVENDI PROPOSED, i British Scheme to Get a Foothold on American Soil. - Washington, March 23. The British government proposes a modus vivendi to govern tne AiasKa Dounaary nne. That was what they did to get the best of the United States in the Behrinj sea, and it will be interesting to note whether Secretary Hay will be caught by the trap that is being laid, as it means that if the Britishers get their foothold over the declared line of boundary in Alaska, it will take a ' great deal of trouble to get them out. The extremely friendly relations be tween the United States government and Great Britain, the further fact that Secretary Hay wae ambassador to England and his relations with t lie English diplomats being very pleasant, make it possible that the proposed , modus vivendi may be accepted. Any aotion looking to the giving up of valu able territory in Alaska will be resent ed in the next congress. Some sug gestion has been made that United States troops should be sent to the dis puted points in order to maintain the American olaimt, but this will not be done until there are further diplomats negotiations. - Brady Foresees Trouble. Seattle, Wash., March 23. Gover nor John G. Brady, of Alaska, arrived here today from Washington, where he has been since January looking af ter Alaska legislation. Concerning the Alaska boundary, Governor Brady said: "The Canadians will surely have a fight on their hands if they try to move the boundaries on the Porcupine, as they have on the Slickeen and the Lynn canal passes. Do you think that 2,000, Americans, everyone of them well armed, who have gone into a country and taken up claims on what has always been considered American territory, will let a handful of Cana dian policemen move the boundary line- at will? "This boundary question is a serious, one, and no one can tell how it is go ing to come out. Evory member of the commission should come West and make the trip to Alaska. They should at least come west of the Rockies, for I understand that there are members of that commission who have not been, that far West." CANADA'S POLICY. rremler Laurier Replies to Sir Charles- Tupper's Attack. Ottawa, Ont., March 23. In the house of commons today, Premier Laurier replied at length to an attack made upon the government's general policy yesterday by Sir Charles Tupper. The premier aooused Sir Charles of preaching a policy of retaliation against the United States. This, he said, the government would not coun tenance. In referring to the Washing ton negotiations, Sir Wilfred said that the Canadian commissioners had acted as honorable men in adjourning the commission and not terminating it, as Sir Charles wanted done. The adjourn ment had been taken so as to give the British and United States governments time to come to a settlement over the difficulty in dispute, which was the Alaska boundary. It also afforded an other opportunity of having the whole question settled amicably. The Cana dian people, the premier declared, would support the action of the govern ment in tire matter.

Reed, at Alfred, Me., today, contained the statement that "Mr, Reed will never again be a candidate for the presidency of the United States." Mr. Allen further said: "It is Mr, Reed 's disposition to withdraw from politics entirely. A to Mr. Reed's antagonism in connec tion with the McKinley administra tion, there is absolutely nothing in it. With regard to the war with Spain, Mr. Reed has been no more conserva tive than was President McKinley at the beginning. As to the present war in the Philippines, Mr. Reed is simply disgusted with it." ' ' Five Thousand Hoineseekers. St. Paul, Minn., March 23.
