WILL DELIVER ANOTHER BLOW.
General Otis About Ready to Strike
the FiIipinOs Hard.

WASHINGTON, March T.-General Otis
is planning another blow at the insurgents
in execution of his general scheme of hast
ening the ending of the rebellion in LuZon
before the advent of the rainy season. The
fact appeared quite incidentally in a cable
gram received from him, in which he re-
piled to an inquiry from the War Depart
ment relative to the discharge of the volun-
teer soldiers serving in his army. These
soldiers are entitled by the promise of the
War Department, and, perhaps, by the
terms of their enlistment, TO be recalled TO
their homes soon as they can be relieved
by regulars. General Otis said that the
men were willing to stay in the Philippines
as long as they could be of active service,
and then he added that he was about to
have some work of the first Importance for
them, indicating that another general move
ment forward was in prospect. This under
standing is confirmed by the report from
Manila to the effect that another column,
in addition 10 that of Wheaton's, is being
formed under Lawton's lead, and IL is be-
lieved that this will be pushed rapidly
northward from Manila, inclosing between
itself and Wheaton's column the largest
body OF the insurgents remaining in the
neighborhood of Manila.

NO SENATOR ELECTED.
Adjournment of the Joint Convention
of the California Legislature.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 1S.-The one
hundred and fourth ballot for United States
senator has been taken without choice, and
the joint convention adjourned after being
in session six consecutive hours, during
which time nineteen ballots were taken.
The proceedings were marked with much
confusion, the lobby invading the floor of
the assembly chamber. AT the end of the
seventh ballot to-day resolution providing
that when twelve more ballots had been
taken adjournment be taken sine die, was
adopted by the close vote of 81 to IS. The
nineteenth ballot to-day gave the follow
ing result. Total number of votes cast 120;
necessary for choice, 81. Barnes (Rep), IS;
Estee (Rep.), /; Burns (Rep), 80; Grant
(Rep), 80; Scott Rep), 4: Patterson (Rep).
4; Devries Dem), i; Phelan (Dem.), 6;
White CDem.). "a: Rosenfeldt Dem.), 2.
The journal for the day was then read
and Speaker Flint declared the joint as
sembly adjourned. The Legislature, by con-
current resolution already adopted, ad-
journed at midnight. Unless the resolution
adjourning the joint assembly be set aside,
no ballot for senator can be taken. 1t Is
not thought that the action suggested can
be taken as the same vote which supported
the resolution would be cast against an at
tempt to reconsider 1t.

SPANISH PRISONERS.
Representation from the Madrid Gov
ernment Through NJ. Cambon.

WASHINGTON, March 1s.-The Spanish
government. through the French ambas-
sador. NJ. Cambon, has presented 10 the
State Department, representation as to
the condition of the Spanish prisoners held
by the Philippine insurgents, setting forth
what they consider serious results arising
from General Otis's recent prohibition of ef-
forts by the Spanish authorities TO secure
the release OF the prisoners.
The statement is said 10 be not pro-
testation, but more in the nature of OBJ
servations on the unfortunate" conditions
with request that some sort Of relief may
be afforded. Reference is made to the
action of General Otis in forbidding COM
munication across the lines, also of the
necessary suspension of efforts by the
American forces in behalf of the Spanish
prisoners because of the armed conflict with
Aguinaldo. How far the condition OF the
prisoners is detailed Is not known, but IL
is understood that the number is placed at
about 900 and that the seriousness is
heightened by the presence of women and
children. The hope Is expressed that In the
interest Of humanity some effective steps

NO MORE BODIES FOUND.
Ruins Still Too Hot and Dangerous for
Searchers to Begin Work

NEW YORK, March 1s.-Through the in
cessant rain to-day, their efforts hindered
by a choking smoke that arose from the
half quenched ruins, more than two hun
dred men from the building, police and fire
departments sought, but with only half sat-
isfying results, for bodies of persons be-
lieved to have perished in yesterdays fire
Most of the time the smoke was so dense
that the workmen could scarcely see their
hands before their faces, and the heat from
the mass of debris, glowing red in places,
held the rescuers almost beyond its limits.
Besides the remnants of the walls left
standing were so shaky and threatening
that ii would have been dangerous to allow
the men to work about the mass of riveted
iron and brick. Efforts were concentrated
on clearing away the debris, removing weak
walls. drilling the chimneys and other parts
of the walls for blasting and making the
way safe for the men to dig in the ruins for
the bodies.
No more bodies were taken from the seeth-
ing mass of ruins to-day. 1t is believed the
men will be able TO proceed with the grew
some search tomorrow with more salts
factory results. Several fire engines had
kept their stations all night long throwing
heavy streams of water onto the ruins. Oc-
up from some unnoticed spot like bubble
and burst away as the streams were played
on IT, Through the day explosions of gas
punctured the continual pumping of the
engines.
CROWDS OF SIGHTSEERS.
The scene of devastation in the immediate
vicinity OF the fire can scarcely be imagined.
Broken and blackened windows, wrecked
doors. smashed ratings, dirt and general
debris surround almost every house. Count
less thousands of spectators, pouring from
every street and avenue and from every
transit line that passed near the scene of
the great holocaust, ana from the private
carriages as well, packed the surrounding
thoroughfares all day, pressing as close to
the ruins as the restraining police lines
would permit and straining their eyes in
hope OF catching sight Of some CHASTITY part
of the spectacle. One hundred policemen
held back the crowd AT intervals the lift
ing smoke showed the fire engines putting
almost solemnly and their silent attendants
at their sides. Beyond, where all eyes
sought to reach rose two gaunt columns of
masonry, all that remained standing of the

Actor Haworth Missing.

NEW YORK, March 1S-Theatrical cir
cles were stirred to-day by a persistent ru-
NOR that Joseph Haworth, the actor and
until recently Viola Aliens leading man in
The Christian was one of the possible
victims of the Windsor Hotel fire. AS the
story started, Mr.. Haworth was said TO
have been at the Players Club with some
friends in the early part of Friday after
noon. He is said to have left them 10 visit
the Windsor Hotel, where a friend was
stopping, and where Mr.. Haworth occa-
sionally lived. He was not again seen. Sew
eral efforts were made tonight to find him
In some of his accustomed haunts, but with
out success. Ipquiry made of his most inti-
mate friends as to his Whereabouts was
equally futile. At the Players Club it was
said that Mr.. Haworth had hot been there
Friday afternoon, as the rumor alleged, and
no person there could recall when he had
last seen the actor.
