able Fire Icscapes-Torch Ap-
Piled Too Soon.

New YORK, April 10.-The police and
post Office inspectors now believe that
the fire in the Andrews mansion, which
cost IS lives, including that Of Million
aire w. c. Andrews and his wife, was
of incendiary origin. The motive,
there Is every reason to believe, was
q desire for revenge, growing out
Of petty quarrel in the servants
quarters
Anonymous letters received by Mr..
Andrews and his wife during the last
three months threatened that some one
in the household would be seriously in
jured unless Mary Flanagan, . cham
bermaid employed there, was dis
charged. They even hinted st the de-
struction Of the house by fire. The po-
lice made . determined attempt to ap-
prehend the writer of the letters, but
met with no success. So worried over
the matter was Mr.. Andrews that he
arranged to have portable fire escape
put in each OF the bedchambers in the
house and they were to have been put
in next week.
The police have the originals of the
threatening letters in their possession,
they having been turned over to them
by Mr. Andrews, and since the fire
Friday morning they have redoubled
their efforts to run down the person or
persons who wrote and mailed the let
ters. ....-. ...,.
Early in January Mr.. Andrews re-
ceived the first anonymous letter. II
advised him to discharge Mary Flanni-
gan. This letter and those subse.
quently received were in mans hand
writing. During February and March
the letters continued to come, some Of
which limited at burning the house.
Mr.. Andrews family turned the letters
over to the police.

A SAILOR, NOT A POLITICIAN.
Adm. Dewey Says That Neither by voca-
tion. Disposition, Education or Train.
Ing Was He Fit for Presidency.

New YORK, April 10.-Adm. Dewey
has given to the Manila correspondent
Of Leslie's Weekly, an interview re-
garding the suggestion that the ad-
miral be made q candidate for the
presidency next year. The admiral
said, as to his politics: II am sailor.
A sailor has no politics. The admins
tration is his party and, republican
or democratic, it makes no
difference. Then, again, come from
Vermont and you know what that
means To be anything but q republi-
can in Vermont is to be q man without
a party. My hag lieutenant comes from
Georgia. He tells me that to be any
thing but democrat in the south Is to
be nobody. If lived south l would
probably be . democrat"
"Have you ever votedp" the corre-
spondent asked.
eyes, years ago; but my vote was
usually influenced by personal prefer
ence or local conditions l am not .
politician, have never held political
ONCE. and am totally ignorant Of party
intricacies and afIiliationG"
Adm. Dewey said that neither by voca-
tion. disposition, education or train
ing was he capacitated to Ill the presi-
dency. He said that he was too well
along In life to consider such possi.
bility. His heslth would NOT admit II.
All his 1ife's work was in different
lines Of effort, and that while the
kindness and enthusiasm Of his friends
were gateful to him and the generous
tributes Of the American people were
dear to him he could not and would
not be candidate for the presidency
Of the United States under any condi-
tions.

A RIVER GORGED.
Town Of Glendive, Mont, Overlooked
and Four Persons Drowned.
Northern Pacific Tracks Arc Inundated
and Possibly " ashed Away for some
Distance Loss to Live stock
by Drowning Large.

GLENDIvE, Mont, April 10.-An ice
gorge in the Yellowstone river at this
point caused that stream to overflow
Saturday night, drowning four persons.
Eight more are missing. Three spans
Of the steel bridge are washed out,
causing loss Of s2b. 600. The Northern
Pacific tracks are inundated and possi-
bly, washed away for some distance and
the loss to live stock by drowning will
involve large sum. The dead persons
are:
Mra R. w. Snyder, wife ofa rancher;
Miss Nellie Reagan, her niece; Miss
Rose Wybecht, q visitor to the Snyder
ranch; Eugene F. OConnor.
The missing: James Sullivan, wife
and six children.
The ice began moving at 1880 in the
evening and continued until $50 when
It formed gorge. The Snyder party
noticing the backwater started for the
Northern Pacific tracks, hoping thus
to escape drowning, but before they
covered half the distance the water
was waist deep and they took refuge in
a tree. O'Connor was the first to be
washed from the tree, Mrs. Snyder
the second and Miss Wybecht third.
A huge piece of ice struck the tree and
broke it in two, carrying off Miss
Reagan. 1t is thought that the family
Of James Sullivan. wife and six chill
dren were swept away by the over
flow, as no trace Of them can be found.

ARE STILL FIGHTING AT APIA.
The American and British War ships Con.
tinue to shell Samoan Towns Sew
eral asualties.

APIA, March "a, via San Francisco,
April S.-There have been lively times
in Samoa during the past few days.
The United States and British war
ships have shelled Mataafa's forces re-
peatedly and sailors have been landed
in Apia to protect property. Numer-
Gus casualties have resulted on both
sides. Adm. Kautz and the command
ers of the British ships are awaiting
advices from their governments
When Adm. Kautz arrived on the
Philadelphia he spent two days in
making inquiries, and then called .
meeting Of all the consuls and the
senior officers of all warships in the
hareor. As q result Of the meeting .
proclamation was issued by the Amer.
lean admiral declaring that the co.
called provisional government un-
Der Mataafa can have NO legal
status under the Berlin treaty,
and, therefore, can not be rec
ognized by the consular and naval
representatives, and ordering Mataafa
and his supporters to quietly go to
their homes and respect the laws of
the Berlin treaty. 1t was further or
dered that the people elected from
their homes be returned, and the
power of the naval force, it was
stated, would be used against all who
disregarded the right Of peaceably dis
posed people.
Adm. Kautz's proclamation was
taken to Mataafa and read to him by
Flag Lieut.. Miller. 1t was received in
silen ce and no reply was made. Ma
taafa and his chiefs quietly left and
went to the western portion of the
municipality, and it seemed as If they
were about to obey the commands tc
return to their homes The German
consul, however, issued counter proc
lamation in the Samoan language,
which was distributed among the Ma
taafans. The proclamation reads as
follows:
"NorIcE TO ALL SAMoANs: BY the
proclamation of the United States ad-
miral, dated March II, was made
known that the three consuls of the
signatory powers Of the Berlin treaty
as we'll as the three commanders OF
men-of-war had been unanimous to no
more recognize the provincial govern
ment composed of Mataafa and Is
chiefs.
II therefore make known to you that
this proclamation is quite false. lam
the German consul general, continue
to recognize the provisional govern
ment of Samoa until l have received
contrary instructions from my govern
ment. ROSE.
German Consul General.
"Apia, March 13, lS99."
The immediate result of this act was
that the rebels turned back and pre-
pared for war, declaring that they
would not obey the admiral's order,
and would prevent any food supplies
from being brought into Samoa for the
Malietoa natives.

she had not only threat
ened to KIN Saxton but had long
plan ned how to do it, and that she had
outlined her pans to another party.
He also says that he cares not what
relations are shown to have existed
between the two; that they were not
such as to have justified the crime on
the evening of October q. 1898. In con-
nection with these relations he referr-
ed to the accused as an adventures,
pure and simple.

RACIAL BATTLE IN HAWAII.
The Japanese and Chinese Laborers ON .
Plantation Near Honolulu Meet
in Mortal Combat.

SAN FRANCISCO. April s.-The steam
er Mariposa arrived Friday from Aus
tralia via Samoa and the Hawaiian
islands.
A press representative at Honolulu
sends an account of a racial battle be-
tween the Japanese and Chinese labor
ers on the Kahuku plantation. which
took place on March g. For
some time trouble has been brew
ing between the Japanese and the
Chinese. The Japanese, armed heav-
lily and well organized. made an
onslaught on the Chinese quarters,
first having placed their own women
and children in places Of safety. The
Chinese were taken entirely unawares.
The. Japanese welded spiked clubs,
knives and axes, and before the Chi
nese could make resistance. three Of
their men were killed and dozen &C.
riously wounded, some fatally and
about forty slightly injured.
The noise of the battle reached head
quarters and the manager of the plan
tation. Mr.. Wright, gathered . force
of Lunas and went to the scene Of the
trouble. After considerable difficulty
the belligerents were dispersed. A
squad of policemen was sent to the
plantation from Honolulu and martial
law was declared on the plantation.
Police from other sections were soon
ON the spot and before nightfall IS
peace officers were on guard.
The Chinese fed from the plantation
and great difficulty was experienced in
locating them. Twenty-three of the
Japanese ringleaders were arrested
and seven Chinese were also Jailed.
The Chinese ON the island are great
ly excited, and the merchants in Homo
lulu look for further trouble. though
the better class are making every ef-
fort to keep the opposing factions with
in legal bounds.

and fell back in disorder on discover
