THE WORK OF |NCEND|AR|ES
THIRTEEN PEOPLE DIED FOR THE
REVENGE OF ONE.
CAUSE OF new Y0RK'S LATEST FIRE
DestructiOn of Andrews and Adams
Residences Fired to Encompass tho
Death of Servant.

A New York special says: Despite
reticence on the part of the police,
facts became public Saturday which
make it appear that the fire which last
Friday destroyed thirteen persons was
of incendiary origin. It transpired
that n few hours before the flames were
seen apoliceman was sent for from the
Andrews house, and was mysteriously
dismissed by servant, who said he
was not wanted.
Letters threatening the lives of the
Andrews family and the children of
Mrs. ST. John were found. 1t is be-
lieved that the motive for incentliarism
was revenge, and that the affair arose
out Of quarrel between the servants.
Foley, the butler in the Andrews fam
lily, is under surveillance. and the
police are hard ut work Investigating
the clews, which chiefly rest upon the
anonymous letters.
Mary Flanagan, tho dead maid
servant, seems to have been n central
figure in this alleged plot, and the
chief object of the supposed perpe-
tra'or's hate. The police have given
out three scurrilous, threatening an.
onymous letters which had been sent
to members of tho Andrews house
hold. One was addressed to the serv-
ant, Mary Flanagan.
The letters made charges against
Mary Flanagan and the butler. In a
letter addressed to Mrs. ST. John, the
writer said:
Il hope you and Mrs. Andrews
don't think for one moment that am
reconciled with Mary Flanagan, for,
indeed, am not, and what is further, I
will not be until l get my revenge.
feel that have given warning enough,
and am going to fix her life, and be-
cause you and Mrs. Andrews did not
give heed to warning, I am going to
fix you too. l am going to make
some one throw something in your
nurses and children's faces that will
distigure them and eat all the flesh off
the bones. This 1 will do for spite,
because You did not let Mary go-as
told you to do. You had just as we'll
let her go first as last. Yon will have
no girl alive when l get through with
her."
Funeral of tho Victims.
The funeral services over the re-
mains of the members of the family Of
Wallace c. Andrews and c. G.. ST.
John, who perished in the terrible
fire, were held at the Fifth avenue
home of the Andrews family Sunday
afternoon.
None but the very intimate friends
and relatives of the family were in at
tendance. The funeral grafton was
delivered by Professor Felix Adler, of
the Ethical Cultme Society.

GERaANS BLAME ENGLAND
For Row In Samoa While Admiral Kaut
Is Censured.

| Is Censured.
The German Democrat, published
in San Francisco has received letter
from ono of the chief German officials
| at Samoa, which is interesting as CIV
ing the German views of the complica-
tions at Apia.
The correspondent writes that with
all the shooting that has been done
not single Mataafan had been killed
or wounded and that the Mataafans and
Germans have apparently no respect
for the fighting ability of the American
and British sailors.
The Mataafans are anxious for the
allied forces to come out and fight in
the open, where they, with their ma
| tive implements of war, will have a
chance against the modern weapons
used by the Americans.
The writer says that Admiral Kautz
| gave no warning of the bombardment,
and that when it commenced he
thought salute had been fired.
According to the correspondent,
British Consul Maxse is greatly
| blamed for the trouble and there seems
to be IN inclination among the Ger
mans to hold tho British responsible
for the war instead of the Americans.
| The German commander Of the
| Fake, i'll addition to receiving on
board the women and children of his
| own nationality, extended to Ameri-
| can and English women and children
the hospitality of his ship, which was
| greatly crowded. The German cor
respondent says that Admiral Kautz
thanked the Germans for their court
esy by Smelling the German consulate.
The admiral later attributed the firing
on the consulate to poor ammunition.
The writer says that stores are being
| openly plundered by tho Mataafans
and the English cannot stop it.
On March 24th Mataafa sent word
to Admiral kautZ that he would stop
fighting if the whites would let him
| alone. The admiral replied that he
would capture Mataafa and hang him.
The English are very much incensed
against German Consul Rose, and
Captain Sturdee wants to proceed
against him as a spy. According to
tho German writer the only cure for
| the trouble will be the sending of new
consuls and new commanders, who
will act in harmony.
According to n dispatch from Wash
ington the German ambassador, DR..
Won Holleben, called on Secretary
Hay Monday and went over tho
Samoan question quite fully.
The ambassador expressed the
wishes of the German government to
have the commission begin its work at
the earliest possible moment, in or
der that the pending difficulties may
| he overcome. The German position,
as made known by the ambassador,
while not Il protest, at tho same time
questions the course of Admiral KautZ.
There is no disposition OH the part
of the German authorities to repudi-
ate Herr Roses course. The KautZ-
Rose incident, it is said in the high
| est quarters, official and diplomatic,
will be quite immaterial in affecting
the settlement under the high com
| mission.
The British ambassador, Sir Julian
Pauncefote, also conferred with Secre-
tary Hay on Samoan affairs.
The president has selected Bartlett
Tripp, of South Dakota, formerly
minister to Austria, as the United
States representative on the Samoan
joint commission.
