is rich In horses, cattle and camels. Kanem
is a vassal state TO wadai and has an area
OF ZOO square miles. II borders the north
ern and eastern shores of Lake Chad and
stretches northward 10 the verge OF Sahara
desert. 1t has a population OF 10000. Ba-
girmi comprises low, marshy region south
square miles.
Sudanese experts predict that the French
will find they have a hornets nest In the
region around Lake Tchad. where several
powerful potentates hold sway. The leading
ruler is Rabeh, formerly a slave in upper
Egypt, who went westward and carved an
empire for himself with hisfsword. He is
now styled the African Napoleon" has an
army of forty thousand men and rules the
territory southwest of Lake Tchad. He Is
at loggerheads with the neghboring Sultan
OF Wadai, whose country is also included
in the French sphere and who has nearly
three million followers among the Senoussi
and whose troops arc said to be led by Eu-
ropeans. Frances policy is TO foster the
mutual hatred between Rabeh and Wadai,
but If this leads to an attempt TO subdue
either of them she will have tremendous
struggle before her. and especially in the
case of Wadai, as thousands Of Senoussi
live in Tunis and Algeria and would prob
ably make common cause with their CO.
regionists in wadai. involving a confia-
grafton in Frances North African posses
sions.
Slatin Pasha. in an interview, is quoted as
saying: Frances conquest Of her new pro-
tectorate will be very difficult and will en-
tail many sacrifices"

MORE BODIES FOUND.
known Victims of the Windsor Hotel
Fire Ney Number Twenty-Six.

NEW YORK, March 25.-Two bodies were
found in the Windsor Hotel fire ruins to-
day. Mrs. Martha NJ. Simmons, fifty years
DID, of Frederick Md, who was injured In
the fire. died at Bellevue Hospital tonight.
The number Of known dead is now twenty
six. A special patrolman formerly employed
in the hotel has completed his list of miss
ing employees. Sixteen men and eleven wOm-
are unaccounted for. This count has been
careful, the patrolman says. The first body
found to-day was near the Fifth-avenue
side of the ruins. 1t was in unrecognizable
condition and could not even be identified
as the remains of a man or a woman. The
second body was found at 9:15 o'clock to-
night under some steam pipes in the arch
way of the first party wall of the basement,
twenty feet north of Forty-sixth street. The
body was wholly unrecognizable. Only the
trunk. ribs and some pieces of flesh clinging
TO the bones remained. The body was lying
wedged under some twisted steam pipes and
great difficulty was experienced in getting
it free.
r. c. Hoffman again called at the morgue
to-day. and after inspecting body No. 3, de-
clared ii was the body CT Miss Dora Hoff-
man. his sister.
Warren T. Leland, proprietor Of the
Windsor Hotel, said to-day: 1.-The uniden-
titled dead taken from the ruins of the hotel
will not be buried in the potter's field Just
where they will be buried 1 cannot say yet.
l received a letter to-day from Charles Van
derbilt Offering plot in the Sleepy Hollow
Cemetery for the burial OF the victims, and
another from Stephen Merritt. offering a
plot in Greenlawn Cemetery, Long island.
This goes TO show that the public would not
permit any sacrilege, even if / would. One
error / wish 10 correct. and that Is the
statement that have been followed by fire.
The impression seems TO prevail that sew
eral hotels have burned under my manage
ment. That is not true. The Windsor was
the first hotel that was ever burned under
my mana cement. j was not proprietor or
manager OF the hotels at Newport or Albany
when they were burned. | also wish 10
state that absolutely every precaution that
man could take had been provided against
fire in the Windsor Hotel"

GOOD WORK BY GEN. WHEATON
ENEMY DRIVEN A MILE AND A HALF
ACROSS PAsIG RIVER.
Considerable Force Routed by Gen.
ment Expected To-Day.

MANILA, March %. Sis a. m.-Twenty-
six dead and $50 wounded in a hospital is the
latest statement OF the American losses in
the engagement with the Fflipinos.
Yesterdays fighting furnished a specimen
of the difficulties with which the Americans
have to contend. The Fillpinos never, ex-
cept opposite Malabon. permitted their op-
ponents to get within several hundred yards
Of them. They would fire few volleys
from their cover and then scuttle back to
another cover. repeating these tactics for
miles. Many of the trenches had gullies
and connecting paths through the cane and
brush, enabling them to retreat unseen.
The problem the Americans have to face
is to drive or lure the insurgents to fight in
force The trenches seem thinly manned,
except in the vicinity of Malabon- The
Americans. fighting a hidden foe, suffered
greater loss in proportion than did the enc
my. The loss OF the Filipinos had formerly
been estimated from the number OF bodies
found scattered in the swamp and through
the brush. y larger percentage of the en-
emy's wounded died than of the Americans,
many of them perishing from neglect, the
Americans naturally attending their own
men first. The wounded. after treatment in
the field hospitals. were brought to the
Manila hospital by train. Several trips
were made from Caloocan to the city. The
first load to start for the city was COM
posed largely of bandaged soldiers. who
shouted, Give 'em hell. boys!'
The gunboat Helena and two army gun
boats command Malabon. but the authori-
ties desire to avoid smashing the town,
where there is much valuable property be-
longing to foreigners, and where are located
warehouses OF most of the Manila firms.
The report of the surrender of the town
OF Polo is erroneous.

ANOKA WATER AND LIGHT
FIGHT.

Considerable local reference has
been made to the contention b.
tween the city of Anoka aud the
company that is under contract to
supply the CITY with water and
light. This week that city de.
clares all the contracts void, and
in It's resolutions gives the follow.
ing reasons:
That sad company has fail. d to
operate it's SAID works 50 as at all
times to furnish said city with a
full aud ample supply Of water for
tire purposes, as provided by said
contract.
That said company has failed to
keep all fire MIGRANTS rented of
them bv the said city in good re.
pair and efficient for fire service
and ready for use as provided by
said CO. tract.
That said company has failed to
keep I'll hydrants supplied with
water under sufficient pressure for
effective service as provided by
said contract.
That said company has failed to
make the annual test of said water
works aud system as provided by
said contract.
That said company has failed to
furnish and keep in operation arc
lights of the candle power required
by the SAID contract.
It will he seen that Anoka claims
a contract has been violated by
the company, and proceeds on that
theory. In Little Falls the city
has taken directly the opposite
position, and maintains that there
is no contract.
