SAN FRANCISCO, May 24-The attempts
that were made Saturday night to burn S..
Vincent's Orphan Asylum at San Rafael,
this State, were renewed Tuesday night and
yesterday morning. The asylum has within
its walls about GOO orphans. 1t seemed pos.
tive that the fire in each case had been
started by one or more CT the chldrenin the
building. One boy has confessed having
aided in starting the fire and several of them
are now under arrest. These Tres have
thrown the majority OF the orphans into the
greatest fear, as during at least one of the
incendiary attempts the building came near
being consumed. From the partial confes-
sion made it would seem that the boys
simply tried to burn the building down in
order to escape.
