WINDSOR HOTEL FIRE.
Fragments of Three More Bodies
Found in the Ruins.

NEW YORK, March 21.-!The frag-
ments of three bodies found in the
Windsor Hotel ruins to-day, and taken
to the Morgue have been numbered
Body No. 49," Body No. 90" Body
No. 21."
It is impossible to give description
of the bodies each box containing
merely a mixture of charred bones,
blackened and shriveled flesh and dirt.
The total dead now is thirty-two, the
identified numbering eleven and the un-
known dead twenty-one. The list OF
missing is still very large, numbering
about forty Most of the injured have
recovered, and have been discharged
from the hospitals.
The third body found to-day was un-
covered late this afternoon near the
Forty-sixth street side, about twenty
five feet from the annex wall. The
fragments consisted of portions of the
large bones, portions of the spinal col
umn, with ribs attached, and some dis
colored flesh. Near this spot were
found several pieces of calico and some
green plush, and it is believed the re-
mains are those of a woman, probably
a domestic employed at the hotel.
Large gangs of men still continue to
dig about the ruins, and many articles
have been added to those already at
the East Fifty-first street Police Sta
tion.

ALGER'S VISIT TO CUBA.
THE SECRETARY SAYS 1T rs OF
NO SPECIAL IMPORT.
Wishes to Get in Personal Touch
With the Current Business of
the Island Government.

HAVANA March 2T.-Secretary of
War Alger conferred with the American
Generals at Governor General Brooke's
headquarters this morning.
Secretary Alger says his rather hur-
ried visit to Cuba need not be consid-
cred as having any special import. He
wishes to get in personal touch with the
current business of the island govern
ment and talk with the Generals who
contro! the various military depart
ments In this way he expects to gain
more vivid impressions than would be
possible from any official correspondent.
Moreover, he will be able to get some
rest, and to enlarge his notions of West
Indian geography.
Thus far his expedition has been
busy, instructive and entertaining. He
received callers on board the Ingalls,
before 8 o'clock this morning, and at
9 he met the department commanders
in Governor General Brooke's drawing
room at Elverado. A conference last
ing three hours followed, and after
lunch the Secretary drove with General
Brooke to CaM4p Quemados, where he
reviewed the seventh Army Corps. This
evening he was present at a reception
given in his honor at the residence OF
the Governor General.
At the morning conference. which was
of somewhat rambling character, two
of the department commanders said II
would materially aid their labors if they
knew President McKinley's exact policy
with respect to Cuba-whether the
American occupation was to be long or
short. Both described themselves as
working a, little in the dark with re-
spect to the ultimate purposes OF the
United States Government. This un-
certainty as to the length of the occu-
patton they declared tended to promote
restlessness among the Cubans.
These observations, which were de-
veloped in a conversational way, did
not elicit from the Secretary OF war
any expression of opinion as to the
Presidents policy other than that the
work ahead was to- restore civil control,
and to modify the Spanish system
wherever the Governor General found
it defective.
Those present at the conference with
the Secretary of War were Governor
General Brooke and Generals Chaffee.
Wilson. Bates, Lee, Ludlow and Has
brouck.
General Alger thinks of going. to
Pinar del Rio tomorrow, but has not
decided as yet. He will go to Cienfue-

The Armour Cur|ed Hair and Felt
Works Destroyed,
EntaiIlng a Monetary Loss Of -Four Hun
dred Thousand Dollars.
Six People Missing, a Majority of
Whom Are Thought to Have
Perished, While Eleven Were
Injured, One Fatally, and Four
Hundred Others Had Narrow
Escapes.

CHICAGO, March 27-Fire destroyed
the Armour Curled Hair and Felt
Works, Thirty-first place and Benson
street, tonight, causing a property
loss of nearly 100000, injuring eleven
employees, one fatally, and endangered
the lives of 400 others who rushed to
escape through the binding smoke.
Late tonight it was found that six
people who were in the building when
the fire broke out were missing, and
while it is not thought that all of them
are dead, it is probable that the ma
jority of them perished. The names
of the missing follow:
James Flanagan, machine hand;
last seen on third floor.
William ellison, workman; last seen
on Fourth floor.
Ella Henniwright, last seen on sec
ond floor.
Thomas Mitchell, last seen on fifth
floor.
Dennis Sheehan.
John White, last seen on third floor.
The injured:
jeremiah Steele, jumped from third
story window; will die.
Joseph Kuda, bady burned about
legs and body.
John Rhodes, jumped from second
story window; leg broken.
George Mosher fell down elevator
shaft; right shoulder broken.
August Schonnberg, ankle sprained
and scalp wound.
Mamie Riley, face and arms burned.
George Schwartz, hands, face and
arms burned.
Margaret Goenthy, both arms cut and
head bruised.
Nellie McNab, hands and face burn
ed.
Paul Rosomier, both hands burned,
left side of head scorched.
Harry Lee, fell from the second story
window; scalp wound.
Employees on the floor on which the
fire started said that a nail, which
caught in a picker caused friction,
igniting the infiammable material with
which the machines were fed. The
flames spread to bales of curled hair,
and in three minutes the entire floor
was dense with binding black smoke.
Men and women left their posts in
frantic rushes to the exits. Many ran
to the windows and descended by the
fire escapes, but most groped through
the smoke to the first door and out
the corner entrance.
jeremiah Steele was bending over his.
carding machines when the blaze broke
out Stifed by smoke he staggered to
a window, swung himself over the sill
and held by his fingers. Meanwhile
firemen stretched a net and shouted to
Steele to drop. He did so, but crashed
to the stone sidewalk.
The Armour Felt Works burned out
nearly a year ago. 1t was replaced by
a substantial five-story structure, ]l2x
225 feet, which was completed only last
August Equipped with special refer
ence to fire protection in the way Of
construction and exterior fire escapes,
the total destruction worked by to-
days blaze was a source of keen re-
great to the owners. The loss is total.
The insurance is 100000.
