THE WINDSOR HOTEL FIRE.
Four More Bodies Recovered from the
Ruins-FOrty Missing.

NEW YORK March 2.-Four more
bodies were recovered from the ruins OF the
Windsor Hotel to-day. The record as II now
stands is twenty-three dead, forty or more
missing and a large collection of small
bones The injured in hospitals and other
places are recovering. Anxiety on the part
of friends IF persons who have been re-
ported missing has increased to a, certainty
almost that they persisted in the fire. From
the condition of the bodies so far recovered
there is but little hope that they or any or
the bodies that may be found hereafter can
be identified. Body No. Is was taken to the
morgue tonight and placed in a case by it
self. 1t is in about the same condition as
the other bodies recovered. 1t is simply a
charred and blackened trunk, with parts OF
the arms legs and skull attached.
The work of removing the debris Is pro-
ceeding slowly, so slowly that residents and
merchants in the district within the fire
limits, extending block in either direction
from the scene of the fire, are making COM
plant. Business is blockaded in the dis
trict. President Murphy, of the Health
Board, to-day wrote to the contractor or
dering him peremptorily TO hasten the work
Of removal.
Among the things dug out to-day was a
metal box containing lot OF soiled ana
burned kilograms addressed to Abner Nc
kinley. Two pumps are at work getting
the water out of the cellar.
During the forenoon portions or two
bodies were found. The first was on the
Forty-seventh-street side of the ruins. They
consisted of a part of the skull, piece OF
the vertebrae and part of the peivis. No
clothing was found near these bones. The
second body was found In the northeastern
portion Of the ruins. The finding of stays
near the bones is taken an indication
that the remains are those of a woman.
Where the bones of this body were found
were discovered several letters. Some of
them were written in lead pencil On one
of them could be deciphered the name,
Miss r. A. Casey" Among the hotel serv-
ants was a Miss Casey, but she is safe.
Some attaches of the hotel thought that the
bones might be those OF girl who roomed
with her.
Among the articles found tonight was a
lady's gold watch marked j. w." metal
top of a purse marked IN. p. j." and some
wearing apparel marked III. II. s." An
elderly woman at the morgue to-day made
a partial Identification of the clothing
found on body No. and stated that she
felt sure they belonged to Julia Katen, an
employe of the hotel.
X. A. Merritt, who claimed to have been
the first to have turned in an alarm, and
Detective Harry Niehoff, of the Windsor
Hotel, were examined to-day by Fire Mar
shall Seery, who is conducting an investiga-
ton on the origin of the fire Neither wit
ness could give any testimony of Importance
in regard to the origin of the fire. Marshal
Seery intimated that the witnesses hereto
fore examined had given some important
information, but said that it would not be
made public yet.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, March A.-Mr.
John Sherman has been safely moved from
the American line steamer Paris to the
quarters prepared for him on board the
United States cruiser Chicago. Mr.. Sher-
man rested easy during the night and

daylight and preparations were immediate
ly made for the transfer of Mr.. Sherman
from the passenger vessel TO the war ship.
He was carried on a stretcher, which was
laid on one of the boats of the Paris while
fast TO the davits. The boat was then low
cred into the water and was taken in tow
by a steam launch. Two umbrellas were
placed over the sick man in order to pre-
vent the sun from overheating him. Mr..
Sherman was hoisted on board the Chicago
in the same manner. He was accompanied
by +. B. Wiborg, DIR. Magee and a nurse.
Immediately after Mr.. Sherman had been
taken on board the Chicago the Paris, with
her party of tourists on board, left here for

was conducted. under the direction or Chief

would sail to-day on the Chicago
and requesting Mrs. McCallum TO
meet the party at Fortress Monroe on Tues
day. Mrs. McCallum will leave here next
Monday. in order to be at Fortress Monroe
when Mr.. Sherman arrives. This cablegram
