 Generals Continues.
RODRIGUEZ AND MASSO

Havana, April S-General Maximo Gomez had a talk with Governor-General Brooke today, in the course of which he said that General Rodriguez and General Masso, former presidents of the Cuban republic would act as a committee of the army with him to aid General Brooke in the distribu- tion of the $3,000,OO0 advanced by the United States for the payment of the Cuban troops. The governor general replied that he would be pleased to have Generals Rodriguez and Masso take part, as they were representatives of the Cubans.
 General Gomez will be formally notified by the Cuban generals tomorrow at Quinta de Molinas, his residence, of his reinstate- ment as commender-in-chief of the Cuban army.
 The wrangling among the Cuban generals continues. The commanders of the forces last night visited General Gomez and un- officially informed him of the contemplated action. Another meeting was held this morning, but several of the commanders had returned to the country during the night, and consequently were not present The whole matter has assumed a farcical aspect. The scoffers express doubt that any concerted action will be taken, but to- morrow will probably determine the mat ter.
 Senor Luis Munoz Rivera, former secre- tary of state in the Porto Rican cabinet, sailed for New York today on the steamer Seneca.

He will proceed to Washington for the purpose of explaining to President Me- Kinley the economical and political situa- tion in Porto Rico
 Senor Rivera hopes President Mckinley will listen to his statements because he hopes that the Americanizaton of Porto Rico will be effected by peaceful means and without an appeal to force. He dis claims the petty, personal motives attribut- ed to him. and says he is simply attempting to aid in the advancement of Porto Rico He attaches no importance whatever to the reports regarding the formation of the re- publican Porto Rican party, which he con- siders unstable and without weight

 Four Years.

Washington, April S.-Ex-Justice of the Supreme Court Stephen J. Field, is dying His physicians do not expect him to sur vive the night
 Judge Field contracted a cold about two weeks ago which became complicated a week ago last Thursday with other troubles resulting from extreme old age. This morning his physician pronounced his condition critical, and through the day and night he has been gradually sinking. At 2 o'clock he was pronounced dying, and his death was momentarily expected
 Judge Field is over S2 years of age. Since he retired from the supreme court in 1897. after thirty-four years of service, his con dtion has several times alarmed his friends but his wonderful vitality has over come all the disabilities of age, and though feeble of late years, he has since his re- tirement enjoyed fairly good health. At the time of his retirement two years ago he had been In bad health for some time but his ambition to serve on the supreme bench longer than Justice Marshall had in- duced him to refuse retirement, although long past the legal age, until after his term had exceeded that of the first chief jus tice.

THE ANDREWS FIRE
 WAS INCENDIARY Some Startling Developments in the New York Horror. THE DEAD MAID SERVANT The Central Figure in the Mystery Story of Hate, and Perhaps Love
 -Scurrilous Letters Made
 Public by the Police.
THE DEAD MAID SERVANT

New York, April S.-Despite reticence on the part of the police facts became public today which make it appear that the fire which yesterday destroyed thirteen per sons was of incendiary origin.
 It transpired that few hours before the flames were seen policeman was sent for from the Andrews home anG was myster- iously dismissed by servant, who said he was not wanted.
 Letters threatening the lives of the An drews family and the children of Mrs. St. John were found.
 It is believed that the motive for incen- diarism was revenge, and that the affair arose out of a quarrel among the servants. Foley, the butler in the Andrews family, is under surveillance, and the police are hard at work Investigating the clues, which chiefly rest upon the anonymous letters.
 Mary Flanagan, the dead maid servant, seems to have been a central figure in this alleged plot and the chief object of the sup posed perpetrators was hate.
 The police today gave out three scurril- ous threatening, anonymous letters which had been sent to members of the Andrews household. One was addressed to the ser- want, Mary Flanagan The letters made charges against Mary Flanagan and he butler.
 In letter written to Mrs. St. John the writer sad:
 'I hope you and Mrs. Andrews don't think for one moment that I am reconclled or paclfied with Mary Flanagan, for in- deed, am not, and what is further, l will not be until I get my revenge.
 q feel that have given warning enough and l am going to fix her for life, and be- cause you and Mrs. Andrews did not give heed to warning, I'm going to fix you, too. I'm going to make some one throw some thing in your nurses and children's faces that will disfigure them and eat all the flesh off the bone. This l will do for spite, because you did not let Mary go as l told you to. You had just as well let her go first as last. You will have no girl alive when l get through with her.'
