REVENGE WAS THE MOTIVE.
tncendiaries Burned Andrews' Home in
New York.

New York. April 11.-Despite retic.
ence on the part Of the police, facts
became public today whi'b made it
apparent that the fire which destroyed
two houses and resulted in the death
Of Is persons was Of incendiary origin.
1t has tianspired that a few hours be-
tore the flames were seen a policeman
was sent for from the Andrews house
and was mysteriously dismissed by a
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 the motive for the incendlaiism
was revenge. and that the affair rose
out Of quarrel among the servants.
Foley. the butler in the Andrews fam
lily, is under surveillance. and the po-
lice are investigating clews which
chiefly rest upon anonymous letters.
Mary Flanagan, a dead maid servant,
seems to have been the central figure
in this alleged plot.
The police today gave out three
scurrilous letters which have been sent
" vi tbC hhuICWb
One was addressed to Mary Flanagan.
The letters made charges against her
and the butler. In letter addressed
to Mrs. st. John. the writer said:
~ hope you and Mrs. Andrews don't
think for one moment that am recon-
ciled or pacified with Mary Flanagan,
for indeed am not. and. what is fur
Their. l will not be until l get my re-
venge. feel that have given warn.
ing enough, and l am going to fix her
for life. and because you and Mrs. An.
drews did not give heed to warnings,
am going TO fix you, too. Pm going to
make some one throw something in
your nurses and ohildren's faces tina,
will disfigure them and eat all the flesh
of the bone. This will do for spite,
because you did not let Mary go, as
told you. You had just as we'll let her
60 first as last. You will have no girl
alive when l get through with her."

Dewey has given to the Manila corre-
spondent Of Leslie's Weekly an inter-
view regarding the suggestion that the
admiral be made q candidate for the

said, as to his politics:
IL am a sailor. A sailor has no poll
itics. The administration is his party
and. Republican or Democratic. il
makes no difference. Then. again.
come from Vermont, and you know
what that means. To be anything but
Republican in Vermont is to be a
man without party. My flag lieu
tenant comes from Georgia. He tells
me that to be anything but Democrat
in the South Is to be a nobody. If I
lived South l would probably DO a
Democrat.
"Have you ever voted?" the CORE
spondent asked,
Eyes. years ago, but my vote was
usually influenced by personal prefer
ence or local conditions l am not a
politician, have never held political
office and am totally ignorant OF party
intricacies and affiliations"
Admiral Dewey said that neither by
vocation, disposition, education nor
training was he capacitated to fill the
presidency. He said that he was too
well along in life to consider such a
possibility. His health would not ad-
nit Of it. All his life's work was in
different lines OF effort; and that,
while the kindness and enthusiasm of
his friends we're grateful to him. and
the generous tributes Of the American
people were dear to him, he could not
and would not be a candidate for the
presidency of the United States under
any conditions.
