81 STILL MISSING.
Three Bodies Taken from rne HOtel
Windsor Ruins Yesterday--.Some
Bits Of Zone Found.

NEW YORK March 22-What are sup
posed to be the remains of three bodies
were taken out of the Windsor Hotel ruins
at a late hour tonight. These three bring
the list of dead to eighteen. There are
Thirty-seven persons missing.
The first find was made near the corner
of Fifth avenue and Forty-sixth street.
The workmen uncovered the remains OF
a body consisting of a number OF charred
bones. Portions of heavy silk skirt and
some bead work found with the bones
gave the impression that the body was
that of a woman. Subsequently portions
of what are believed by the police to be
two bodies were found pear the elevator
shaft. Nothing was found to identify
them. Those who examined the remains
thought they were the bones of an adult
and a boy, the latter being possibly the
elevator boy, who is among the missing.
The remains have been taken to the
morgue.
Shortly after six o'clock tonight frag-
ment of charred flesh was found on the
Fifth avenue side of the ruins.
The laborers reached the elevator shaft
at the Fifth avenue and Forty-sixth street
corner tonight and began 10 dig away the
debris An elevator in this shaft is
thought to have been filled with people
who started down after the fire broke out.
Some fire is still smouldering in the ruins
and an engine played upon it at the Fifth
avenue and Forty-seventh street corner
at intervals during the night.
The five bodies that were recovered on
Monday or Tuesday, or what remains OF
them, are still at the morgue One has
partly been identified by two of the hotel
employees as that of Mrs. Margaret AuZe
of New York, but this identification is
not considered conclusive.
The rain to-day interfered with the rapid
progress of the work to some extent, and
it was not until the afternoon that the
workers succeeded in getting steadily
down to the removal of the debris. The
fire department still has it's lines about
the ruins, isolating a considerable section
of one of the busiest parts of the city.
A force of about 80 men was employed
throughout the afternoon. A new shift
of the same number was put on tonight.
c. E. Hasbrook, of Boston, whose name
at different times has appeared in lists of
Hotel Windsor guests, who were missing
after the fire of last Frida, is safe.
Margaret Farrell, a laundress in the ho-
tel, who was reported missing, is also
safe.

SENATOR SHERMAN BETTER.
Moved From His Cabin to the Steam
er'S Deck For an Hour.
WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE
CHICAGO THIS MORNING-THE
SENATOR'S DAUGHTER NOTI-
FLED OF HIS CONTINUED I'M
PROVEMENT-HO THE UN-
FORTUNATE REPORT OF HIS
DEATH CAME ABOUT.

Santiago de Cuba, March %, 10 a. m.
Mr.. Sherman, at this hour, continues
improving and will be moved from
his cabin on deck this afternoon for
an hour.
Gen. Wood is now on board the
Paris, paying visit to Mr.. Sherman.
The city is full of tourists, who have
landed from the American liner.
Washington, March 22-Mrs. Mccall
lum, daughter of the Hon. John Sher-
man, received cablegram to-day from
Mr.. Wiberg, who is accompanying the
former Secretary of State on his tour
of the West Indies. announcing Mr..
Sherman's continued Improvement.
The Chicago will probably arrive at
Santiago tonight, and if Mr.. Sherman
and his friends are still of the same
mind, will take him aboard and bring
him home. AS to the landing place
it is said by Secretary Long that the
commander of the Chicago, Captain
Cooper, will be guided entirely by the
wishes of Mr.. Sherman's family, and
if it is desired that he be taken to some
Florida port to avoid danger from a
too rapid climatic change, that course
will be adopted. If the Chicago leaves
Santiago tomorrow, according to the
present intention. she should reach
Tampa, if that port is selected as a
landing, by Sunday evening, probably
taking the western route by way of
Cape Antonio, to keep in smooth wa
tiers as far as possible.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, March 22.-It
nows turns out-respecting the unfortu-
nate report of Mr. Sherman's death, which
is the main topic of conversation here to-
day-that the announcement was made by
the French cable company and the signal
corps within ten minutes of each other
When Captain Leigh, the chief signal Of
ficer, learned that the report was erron-
eous, he Immediately communicated with
the Guantanamo station to discover the
cause of the blunder.
The man in charge of the station replied
that having received a message of inquiry
ing any information himself, he visited the
manager of the French cable company,
who assured him that the report of death
was we'll founded. Thereupon he tele-
telegraphed the confirmation of the ru-
NOR, having no reason to doubt the as
surance given him. The French cable
company's officials here claim to know
nothing regarding the matter.
Mr.. Sherman's relatives on board the
Paris are naturally very indignant at
somebody's stupendous blunder, but Cap
tain Leigh considers that the man in
charge of the Guantanamo signal office
was entirely justified in accepting the
statement of the French cable company s
manager.
Mr.. Sherman's condition this evening
continues about the same. He rested quite
comfortably throughout the day and if
anything is somewhat improved.
He expects to go on board the United
States cruiser Chicago tomorrow.

HAVANA Is QUIET,
But 1t Would Take Little to Start Trouble
All Arms are to be Confiscated.

But 1t Would Take Little to Start Trouble
All Arms are to be Confiscated.
Havana, March 22.-Havana is quiet.
An example of the suppressed state
of excittment prevailing occurred last
night in the cafe of the Hotel Ingla-
terra. A thief stole two hats and ran
away. The commotion which followed
alarmed the crowd present and many
men Immediately drew revolvers and
started for the doors.
The police, however, succeeded in
quietly dispensing the assemblage.
The military assembly owing to the
absence of quorum held no meeting
to-day, but meeting will probably
be held tomorrow, though Saturdays
meeting is likely to be the important
session of the week. The feeling is
now, as it is clearly impossible to raise
funds for the army. the most logical
course, all things considered would be
TO disband the army and dissolve. A
motion to this effect will undoubtedly
be made and will provoke hot contest.
Orders have been issued to the po-
lice to confscate all revolvers carried
by civilians and already the results are
large collection of miscellaneous
arms.

Manila, March rs p. m.-While
apparently inactive since Sunday, really
the opposite has been the case with
| the American forces. A reorganization
entailing many changes has been in
flying column. General Wheaton's
and General Halls brigades have not
been assigned, but the Oregon
regiment, the Minnesota regi-
ment, and the Twenty-second regiment
have been concentrated at the camp on
the Luneta, at the water front, in
readiness for immediate transporta-
ton when the plans of the military
leaders have been formulated.
Our troops are entrenched and the
situation is practically unchanged. The
enemy has refrained from making any
attacks recently, and it would appear
that the rebels are saving their ammu-
milton for a decisive movement.
According to prisoner captured by
our troops, Aguinaldo has announced
that he will personally conduct the
reserves at Malolos and march into
Manila within twenty days, unless the
Americans withdraw in the meantime.
The concentration of rebel forces in
the vicinity of Malabon gives color to
the statement of the prisoner.
Advices received from Cebu by a
coasting steamer say everything is
quiet there.

TOSSED THEM IN A blanket.
How CaroIinInns showed Affection
for Their OfIicers.

Blanket tossing mas become a source OF
great amusement in several of the regi-
ments encamped near Savannah. It's
nuts for tossers and onlookers, but the vic
tim finds himself wondering if he will
ever come down again. Many who have
gone out TO the camps on business have
been given a taste of the tossing, one or
two railroad men having come in for their
share of it. The absurdity of resistance
impresses every prospective victim, and
the medicine is usually taken peaceably.
The First North Carolina Regiment
tossed every officer in the command yes
terday with the exception of two, who are
suffering from physical disabilities. Col.
Armteid had his splendid proportions
thrown into the air and the second lieu
tenants shared the same fate.
All the officers took the violation of mill
tary discipline very nicely. it is said. The
tossing started among the men, but they
decided 10 bring the officers into it. Maj.
Rutz,er was the first victim. He was
seized and given a taste of the tossing,
and then Col Armfeld was looked up He
was informed of the desire of the regi-
ment to toss him and submitted grace
fully Even the chaplain was not spared
one of the majors took to his heels, but
the crowd out sprinted him, and he, too
went into the air.
While his brother officers were beins
tossed Capt. Alexander. regimental adju-
tant, sat on the ridge-pole of a tent and
took snapshots with his camera He VIII
enjoy showing the undignied attitudes
in which he caught them.
A non-commssioned officer of the regi-
ment explained that the tossing grew out
of anything rather than a dislike of the
men for the officers He said there is
the greatest friendship for the officers
and the men are ready at any time to TO
all they can for them. The tossing had
not occurred to the non-com. as a viola
ton of what is due an officer under the
military regulations, but merely as rather
a demonstratlve way of showing their az
lection.
