THINK III WAS INCENDIARY.
Anonymous Letters Give "a Clue TO
the Andrews Fire.

New York. April s.-Desplte retIcence on
the part of the police, facts became public
To-day which make 1t appear that the fire
which yesterday destroyed thirteen per-
sons, was OF incendlary origin.
IL transpired that few hours before the
flames were seen a policeman was sent
for from the Andrews house, and was
mysteriously dismissed by servant, who
said he was moi wanted.
Letters, threatening the lives of the An
drews family and the children of Mrs. st.
John, were found It is believed that the
motive for incendiarism was revenge, and
tnat the affair arose out of a quarrel be-
tween the servants.
Foley the butler In the Andrews family
is under surveillance. and the police are
hard at work investigating the clews,
which chiefly rest upon the anonymous
letters.
Mary Flanagan, the dead maid servant
seems to have been a central figure in this
alleged plot, and the chief object of the
supposed perpetra tors haze.
The police to-day gave out three scurril-
Gus. threatening anonymous letters. which
had been sent to members OF the Andrews
household. 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:
"I hope you and Mrs. Andrews don't
think Cor one moment that / am recon-
ciled or pacined with Mary Flanagan,
for indeed / am not, and what Is further.

WHITE MAN NEGRo's FRIEND.
Booker Washington Tells His Race
10 Join the Democracy.

Tuskegee, Ala. April s.--Prof. Booker I.
Washington. answering the request of
prominent colored man in North Carolina
as 70 what should be done to alay the
present conflict between the races, clearly
advises him to make alliance with the tri-
umphant Democracy. Says the letter:
Il have been asking myself lately some
rather serous questions, and / want to put
one or two of them 10 you. Is there any
reason why the negroes In the South
should continue to oppose the Southern
whice man in his politics? Is this not the
source of nearly all our troubles? Uncon-
seiously we seem to have gotten the idea
into our blood and bones that we are only
acting in manly way when we oppose
Southern white men with our votes
Il believe that Gov. Johnston of Ala
bama is as Just as good friend TO the
black man as Hon. William Youngblood
Of Alabama. Hon William Youngblood
has about 400 white followers; Hon. Jo-
seph ]. Johnston has 10000 white follow
ers In Alabama. Why should we follow
Mr. Youngblood. with his 400 white fol-
lowers. rather than Gov. Johnston, with
his 500, 900 followers, when no principle Is
at stake?
why is it that the negro In Cuba mas
surpassed us in settling his race problem?
Is ii not because the negro in Cuba has
made the white mans interest their own?
For example. suppose. during the agl-
tation of the freedom of Cuba, the negro
had continued to espouse the cause OF
Spain, instead of the cause of the whites
in cuba, would not the white Cubans
have grown furious against the black man
in cuba?
"ln some way, by some method, we
must bring the race 10 the point where
it will cease to feel that the only way for
1t to succeed Is to oppose everything sug-
gested or put forth by the Southern white
men. This consider one of
our real problems. l confess that
personally ] have brought my
self wholly to the point that / should
like TO see the whole race get to- but /
merely ask these questions to put you to
thinking along these lines If you have NOT
begun TO do so.
II believe that there are thousands of
white Democrats of North Carolina who
are so per cent better friends TO the negro
than Gov. Russell. and l see no necessity
in continuing to follow Gov. Russell. who
has no power to protect, or II he has the
power, does not exercise It, rather than
these other white men, who can protect
us, II we cease to continually and for
ever oppose them"

Paris, April S.-The Figaro to-day con-
tinued its publication of evidence given
before the Court of Cessation in the Drey-
fus case. and gave the deposition of Maj.
Hartmann of the Twenty second Artillery,
who was called as a witness for the de-
fense
In addition to the facts already cabled.
Mai Hartmann deposed that he knew
about the hydraulic brakes since 1891, gave
full details of its manufacture and cited
the case of NJ. Boutonnet, an emp.oye of
the archives department, who was SEM
fenced in 1890 for giving a foreign office
attache secret documents, including de-
tails of the brake, which were not modi
fed from 1890 to 1894.
The major also handed the court the
text of a lecture delivered at the Mill
tary School of ST. Cyr, in 1892 describing
the brake, and said he did not believe
the documents in the bordereau came from
an officer attached to the war office, as
the brake had been tested at the artillery
school in 1894.
He further said he had been connected
for eight years with the technical section,
and never knew Dreyfus to ask TO see doc
uments.

he knew none of them was missing.

HANDSOME sEVRES VASES.
Magnificent Presentation Made TO the
American People.


Washington. April S.-A notable cere-
mony occurred at the blue room of the
executive mansion at Il O'Clock to-day,
when the French ambassador, NJ. Cambon,
presented TO the government and the
American people, as represented through
Sevres vases from the French national
pottery at Sevres.
The gift was from the late President of
the French Republic, Felix Faure, and
commemorated the opening of the new
Franco-American cable on Aug. II last
when President Mckinley and President
Faure exchanged the first message over
the new line, between the White House
and the Palace of the Elysee.
The vases and pedestals stand six or
eight feet high, and are of deep blue,
characteristic of the finest Sevres ware,
as well Gy in happy accord with the pre-
vailing colors of the blue room.
The presentation was made the occasion
for a happy exchange on international
greetings, M. Cambon making an address
and the President responding. The vases
had already been placed in position, one
on ellner size OF tue large NindoW iooklhS
toward the Potomac. They far exceed in
elegance anything in the way of porce-
lain hitherto brought to the White House.
The vases will now remain permanent
possession of the White House, along with
several other notable decorations given by
foreign governments If they had been
given personally 10 President Mckinley il
would have required an act of Congress
for their acceptance, but as a gift to the
American government and people, no spe-
cial act is required.
