THE MlSsING CRUISER.
New Evidence That the Spanish
 Warship Has Been Lost.
WAS REPORTED AS UNsEAwoRTHY.

The Cruiser Sent Out to Look For the Reina
 ReEenta Returns After Vain Search.
 Growing Belief That She wnI Never Be
 Heard From Again.
 GIBRALTAR, March Ia. A French steamer which has arrived here reports that she saw big vessel, supposed to be the Spanish cruiser Reina Regente, ashoro in AceitunoS bay. She was unable to as- sist the vessel ashore on account of tho heavy weather prevailing.
 TANGIEE, March l5.-The MOorish steamer that went out in search of tho missing Spanish warship Reina Regento has returned and reports that she found no trace of that vessel.
 While she was cruising the Moorish steamer rescued II men from tho Spanish bark Luz, Captain Jaroon. from Bruins wick, Ga, Feb. 1, for Palma, Maiorca, which was wrecked during the recent storm. Tho men had been ailoat four days In an open boat when they were picked up.
 MADRID. March 15.-Several British warships have left Gibraltar in search of the missing vessel. One report current hero late last night was that she was found by British vessel in disabled condition of the African coast.
 The government was questioned in tho chamber of deputies as to the information 1t had regarding the Reina Regente Re plying to tho question, Prime Minister Sa- gasta said that tolegrams announcing the wrecking of vessels at various places along the coast had been received. and that, though the government had no positive news regarding tho Reina Regente beyond the fact that she had sailed from Tangier, he feared that the vessel had been lost.
 Senor Carvajal, a Republican member. asserted that if the warShip had foundered the disaster was due to the fact that she was overweightcd forward by her big guns.
 The belief, which is hourly growing stronger, that the vessel will never again be heard from has created feeling of con sternation throughout the country. In Cadiz and Cartagona, where most of the crew belonged, the excitement and anxiety are intense.
 Flags, a compass box and other wreck age belonging to the Reina Rogento have been washed aShorc at Tarifa.
 Senor Diaz Moreu. a naval officer, read a report made by a former commander of tho Reina Regcnte asserting that the cruis- CT was not suited for heavy weather owing to her being overloaded by her armament

INDUSTRIOUS sHoPLlFTERs.
Three Women Captured Who Have stolen
 Many Valuable Goods.


 PITTsBURG, March l5.-Three shrewd and successful female shoplifters were arr rested here by Detectives Frank Aiken and James Steele of AlIeghany City. The story revealed is almost beyond belief. The women arc sisters-Mrs. Celia Stake ly and Mrs. Mary Cohout-and i9-year- old Annie Dennison.
 The two older women were arrested in Boggs SS BuhI's storo, and whom taken to the station a 90 yard bolt of silk was found under Mrs Cohout's cloak. Search warrants were procured and the houses of the women searched. A big express wagon load of silks, dress patterns, two sealskin coats worth $500 apiece. gloves. faces, handkorohiefs. fine shoes. etc, were taken to the station house as a result.
 Several trunks packed ready for ship ment were also found. X largo number of express receipts worc discovered, show ing that the "fence" cf the trio was in some western city, the name of which the police refuse to divulge. but which is said to be Chicago. One receipt for s, 900 worth of goods is only about week old.
 Tho police authorities have telegraphed to havo tho oonsignees arrested, when the complete story will be known. Mir Boggs estimated the value of the wagonload cap tured at Sl0, GOO, and says goods worth nt least $10 900 more were left behind be- cause ns yet they could not be identified. In Mrs Cohout's parlor alone he saw bric-a-brao worth fully Sl, 500, and her cupboards were filled with the best of cut glass.
 Tho police authorities claim to have been on the track of the thieves for the past eight years, but the women were so accomplished in their work that not be- fore this could they bring them down.
 The hunt was made so hot for the pris- oners at times that they were compelled to go to other cities to do their stealing. In this way they have visited Philadelphia. Chicago and St. Louis, each trip resulting in a large haul, which was sent hero to be shipped to the western fence"

.Rinaldor Is Not Hilariou..

"Rinaldo," the play just produced by Joseph Haworth, appears to be a very cheery sort of affair. Five of tho charac- ters die-one by poison. two by the sword, one of a broken heart and one of q dis eased heart. In addition to this, two are wounded. Mir. Haworth was wildly enthu- siastic about "Rinaldo" before it was pro- duced, and his managers thought that 1t was going to be the production of the sea son. Their enthusiasm has now probably simmorcd down. There Is nothing like the production of play to dispel illusions with regard to it.

FOUR PERSONS BURNED.
Results of an Attempt to Save a Gil
 Whose Clothing Caught Fire.


 Results of an Attempt to Save Cir
 Whose Clothing Caught Fire.
 New York, April 19.-Four members of a Hebrew-Polish family of shirt waist makers were burned in their room, No. 309 East Houston street, at 8 o'clock this morning. One of them, a child seven years old, was so badly in- 1ured that she is not expected to live. The family name is Lemische. The fa- ther, Aaron, came to this country from Lemburg, Poland. Six weeks ago he brought his family over on tickets to be paid for on instalments. They were all nicely settled and making some pro- gress when the father was prostrated by a paralytic stroke that disabled him.
 This morning the children were hud- died about the open stove. Some one opened the hall door, and the draft car ried aaflame out upon the skirts of the girl Minna Her sister Rose tried to help her, but was burned so painfully that she started back. Then Morris, twenty-two years old, brother, struck at the flames, but he, too, was set on fire. The mother rushed in from the next room, seized Minna, and pressing her between her legs, wrapped her in her arms and skirts. There she held her till the flames were smothered, and her own legs and hands were severely burned.
 An ambulance surgeon from Bellevue hospital sent Morris and Minna to the hospital for treatment while 4e stayed to care for the mother and Rose. De- spite their general pains and bereave- ment, their despair seemed deepest when they looked at their blistered hands.
