ment to be given next Tuesday evening,
one of their dresses caught fire from

were burned to death, two died an hour
later and five others died before midnight.
Half dozen others were burned more or
less severely.
The fire started In a little dressing

were grouped in the wings of the stage.
near the foot of the stairs descending from
the dressing room.
The girls in the dressing room had near
ly completed their costumes when one of
them brushed against the gas jet. A touch
of the flame was sufficient, and in an In
stant her dress of cotton and light cloth
was in a blaze.
She screamed and ran out of the room
communicating the blaze to the others us

Girl a Flaming Torch.
One of the girls, with her dress in a
blaze, jumped out of small window into
the stairs leading to the stage, and then
down the stairs. a flaming torch she
was as she almost fell down the stairs,
and rushed into the groups of children
standing in the wings.
They were all clad like her in the fancy
costumes of cotton lace and silk and the
fire spread with incredible rapidity from
one to the other.
There were fourteen children in the cast
of the Christmas entertainment and only
a few escaped. 1t was over in ten minutes
and in that time four perished, seven were
fatally burned and others more or less Sc
verely injured.
Jumped From Teachers Arms.
Frank Musholt a teacher of the school,
was standing at the foot of the stains from
the dressing room when he heard the cry
of fire" and turning to where it came
from saw the flash of flame in the dressing
room.
He was half way up the stairs at one
bound, when he met a child rushing and
tumbling down, mass of flames from
head to foot. Tearing off his coat, he
threw it around the blazing child and en-
deavored to exhnguish the flames, but she
jumped out of his arms and rushed on
down past him, still wrapped in his coat,
into the group of other children standing
about in the wings of the stage.

Manila. Dec. 22-The newspaper Demo
oracia, the organ of coterie of Fillpinos
including the Supreme Court judges, IA
voring American control in the Philip
pines, tonight announce that il has bsen
decided TO suspend publication.
The paper was started at the suggest on
and under the patronage of the Philippine
advisory Commission. held By Prof. S. g.
Schurman. The Democracia prints a sin
gle page, in big type.
In the statement accompanying the an
rouncement Of its susr sion. the editor
says he has been directed by tha provost
marshal to retract certain criticism of the
clerical methods adopted in regard to the
management Of schools, and adds;
Recognizing the authority of the pro-
vost marshall we have no recourse except
to comply and have decided 10 suspend
publication until the present extraordina-
ry conditions regarding press matters dis
appear. When we know what laws rule
us, by what mode we are judged, and TO
whose jurisdiction press matters are
amenable. the Democracia viii reappear"
The paper has generally been warm
supporter of the administration The
provost marshal recently threatened to
suppress it for publishing an editorial as
serting that Manila streets were in worse

warned, with an intimation OF lmprison-

BANQUET GIVEN GEN. BROOKE.
Pleasant Words Spoken at Farewell
Dinner in Havana.

Havana. Dec. 22.-Sixty-five persons were
present at the farewell banquet rendered
to Gen. Brooke to-day at the Paris res
taurant. Gen. Maurio Menocal presided
and Mr., Ernest Lee Conant acted as toast
master
Senior Llorente, 'in proposing the health
of Gen. Brooke, said:
Gen. Brooke was called upon to gov
ern Cuba under the extremely difficult
conditions of transition from the old mar
row system to the new liberal regime
and he did so without injuring the rights
OF any one. Cubans will always remem-
Der him with gratitude and love"
Maj. Gen. Wood, who spoke briefly in re-
sponse to words of welcome, said:
THE United States is in Cuba in the
persons of representatives who intend TO
carry out a great work and to fulfill strict
ly the promises of the United States c, n
gress. AS for myself, 1 can only do what
the President has sent me to do; but 1
hope to enjoy the esteem and confidence
of the Cuban people as Gen. Brooke has
enjoyed them"
Gen. Brooke, responding, said in part:
Il shall always remember the long
hour of toll in Cuba but l shall ever re-
call the kindness shown me by all Gu
bans. especially by those who realize that
the Americans are their best friends"
Gen. Brooke will leave tomorrow for
Tampa. A squadron of the Seventh
Cavalry and a battery of the Second Ar
tillery with a band, will escort him from
the palace to the wharf. A major gen
erals salute will be fired from Cabanas
as the steamer leaves the harbor at
o'clock.
A governor generals salute will be fired
in honor of Gen. Wood.
At to-day's meeting of the Municipal
Council a motion was made to send an
address of thanks to President Mckinley
for his candid references to the Cuban
people and the future of Cuba in his re-
cent message to Congress. The motion was
rejected on the ground-as asserted by the
principal speaker in opposition-that the
message contained nothing new, but mere
ly reiterated a former promise.

GEN. METHUEN's MOVEMENTS.
Said to he I'm Position TO Afford Ala
TO Kimberley.


London, DEC. "a dispatch from Cape
Town dated Sunday, Dec. H. says that
Gen. Methuen's primary object In crossing
the Modder river appears to have been
TO establish searchiight communication
with Kimberley, which is believed to be
eull on fun rations. The water in the
mines Is plentiful
On the other hand, in spite OF their US
ual tactics, it is considered possible that
the Beers have been compelled to assume
the offensive, the commander having ar
ranged for the disposition Of the forces
and anticipating difficulty in maintaining
food supplies I'm the present positions.
Moreover II Is said there Is a growing
desire among the Free Staters to return
home, which is testified to on many sides
and may tend 10 precipitate an action on
the part Of the Boer comm ands.
In spite OF the delay Of Gen. Methuen in
advancing he is regarded as largely the
master Of the situation, and his entrench-
ed position is believed to be unassailable.
In the event of the Beers attaching Kim
berley Gen. Methuen would be enabl d
TO make a counter move with his artillery
and cavalry. Consequently, such q move
ment on the part of the Beers Il Is said
Is not contemplated.
Il is apparent, therefore. that 10 make
haste slowly Is the truest policy at pres
ent. In accordance with Cen Methuen's
dictum. the army should not advance fas-
ter than the slowest OK wagons
