AGUINALDO WILL NOT HEED.
A Filipino General Beheaded for
Advising Peace.
MOaE CONDEMNED TO DEATH.


MANILA, March o1.-It Is reported
on hitherto reliable authority that
Aguinaldo Is taking extreme measures
to suppress signs calculated to cause n
cessation Of hostilitics. Twelve ad-
berents Of the cause Of independence,
residents Of Manila, have been con-
demncd TO death because they were
advising surrender. All loyal Fill
pinos have been called upon to perform
'thc national service" of assassinating
them.
Last Friday General Lagarda visited
Malolos to advise Aguinaldo to quit.
He argued with the insurgent leader
and attempted to convince him of the
folly OF his persistence in the face of
overwhelming odds. Aguinaldo was
furious at the advice and ordered Gen.
eral Lagarda to be killed Immediately.
The general was promptly beheaded.
Many prisoners represent that the
Filipino soldiers are weakening. The
generous treatment that the Ameri-
can administer to the native prison
ers and wounded seems to influence
tho insurgent army powerfully. In
the opinion of the Americans, how
ever, the Filipino leaders will con-
tinue to provoke fighting just as long
rs they can retain their hold upon
their followers, because they have
everything to gain and nothing to
lose.
The enemy has twice as many men
on their firing lines as they have arms,
and the fact hat SO few arms are cap
tured by the Americans is because the
guns Of the wounded Filipinos and
many Of those who surrender, are
spirited away.

A Third Body Is Found.

Nav YORK, March 1.-The third
body taken out of the ruins of tho
Hotel Windsor was recovered early
to-day. The body was that Of n wo-
man. Only that part of the head from
the jaw down was still on the neck.
The body was badly mlngled.
A hundred men worked all night ON
the ruins In many places the debris.
was too hot to permit of work there.
A number of pieces of bodies were
found during the night. Early this
morning workmen who began digging
on the Fifth avenue side near the en-
trance, where the first traces Of bodies
were found, came upon a piece of pei
Wis weighing about two pounds
Later a workman found what seemed
to be the knee cap of a child with
pieces OF the joining bones. II was.
dug up on the Forty-seventh street
side. A pile of damaged clothing was.
found here.

NEW York, March 2t.-The skeleton
Of a victim OF the Windsor hotel fire
was found to-day upon the Forty-sixtb
street side. II was In such a condition
that II was impossible to tell whether
IL was that of a man or IN A
human foot, with nearly all the flesh
still on IL, was also discovered at tho
same spot. A little later the burned
bone Of a human leg was taken from
the ruins.
Search OF the ruins Of the hotel was
begun to-day by a large force OF labor
ers. The fire Is still smoldering, de.
spite a steady pour Of streams from
two fire engines throughout the night.
The big otlioe safe was dug out, APP.
parently intact. Numerous small arti.
t%icles, such as jewelry, purses, bundles
of papers, photographs and wearing
apparel, which had belonged to occu.
pants OF the hotel, were also gathered.
No picks and shovels are allowed
the laborers. They remove the debris
with their hands. There Is two-fold
design in this. First, there is the
care to recover valuables from the
w%reckage. Were the debris taken up
by the shovelful, jewelry and other
valuable property might be thrown
away among the waste heaps.
Miss Helen Gould turned her house
into a relief bureau for the workmen
last night. Four long tables were
spread in her kitchen, boilers Of coffee
were put or the range, ham and cheese
were cut in the laundry and all the
men employed on the ruin were invited
to eat.
All sorts of theories are current as
to the origin of the fire. One very
persistent story is that thieves set fire
to the hotel to aid them in purposes
Of robbery.

FATAL OMAHA FIRE.
TWO WOMEN DIE AND MANY
INJURED.
Patterson Block Burns-Fire started
While a Ladies' Lodge was Holding .
Session In Rooms on Third FIoor-Home
of the Thurston Rifles.

OMAHA, Neb., March 22.-Two women
dead and a dozen or more seriously,
some probably fatally injured, is the
result of a fire in the building on the
northeast corner of Seventeenth an d
Douglas streets, occupied by the Thurs
ton rifles armory and known as Labor
temple, yesterday afternoon. About 3
o'clock, while a meeting of about fifty
ladies of the Royal Neighborp was in
progress on the third floor of the struc-
ture, fire broke out in an adjoining
apartment. 1t swept through the
building with such spontaniety that
quite a number of the ladies were un-
able to reach the stairway. They
gathered about the windows on the
west side of the building and some of
them got out on the narrow lodges,
from which are suspended fragile fire
escape ladders at the north end of the
building.
The dead are:
MRS. THOMAS L. TAYLOR. whose
husband is employed at the Cudahy
packing house in South Omaha.
MRS. ANNA SCHAMAL, mother-in.
law of DIR. Merriam, 25O5 Pierce street.
Owe a score of persons were more or
less severely burned or otherwise in
jured.
Accurate details Of the occurrence are
extremely difficult to procure. but IL
appears that there were thirteen wo-
men who found their escape to the
stairway cut off by the flames in the
narrow hall. OF these four are re-
ported to have jumped from the third
story windows to the stone pavement
below. The escape of those who were
so fortunate as to reach the stairway
was attended by hardly less hazard.
They came down the narrow stairways,
amidst binding smoke and flame, in a
veritable panic, and IL is the greatest
miracle that many of them were not
killed. Some of the women who had
climbed out upon the fire escape lodges
were only prevented from jumping by
the p~ersuasions of the crowd below.
They remained and were safely taken
out upon the arrival of the fire depart,
