Theories OF a Grcnt Fire,

Almost fifty of the guests of the de-
stroyed Windsor Hotel are still re-
ported missing. and charred bodies are
yet being found In the ruins. which
cannot be cleared away completely in
side OF a week. but a bad feature con-
nected with the fire Is the startling evil
dence that the calamity was the work
Of incendiaries. The work Of investi-
CATION concerning the origin OF the
fire so far indicates that it started in
several different places In the hotel.
This theory is based on the statements,
made by many OF the guests who es-
flames were started by thieves. For
this reason. the fire commissioner has
ordered a most thorough investiga-
ton, and examination Of escaped guests
and the employees who were located in
various portions Of the building.
Aside from this suspicion, the disas-
ter has become Of serious moment in
New York. and elsewhere. among peo-
pie who lost friends and relatives,
particularly In view of official opinions
concerning the circumstances OF the
fire, and statements that other public
buildings. built years ago. are deficient
in certain requirements imposed by
laws recently passed for the protec-
ton Of the public. and 1t will not be
surprising II q general inspection OF
such structures, including theatres, Is
ordered. In so large and so crowd
ed city the necessity for extraordin-
airy precautions is imperative. and when
a great disaster like the recent one
comes It Is not unnatural that the pub
| lie should be aroused on the subject.
q building inspector in every large
community Is rs necessary an indlvid-
ual as any other public officer, and
even the smaller cities, like Wheeling
and others Of its class. that are with
out them, may find this subject worthy
of consideration.

The immediate effect of the signing

1t Is announced that Aguinaldo Is to
take personal charge OF his forces In
LuZon, and has promised his poor de-
luded followers that he will drive the
Americans out Of Manila in few days.
Aguinaldo Is In desperate frame OF
mind. The Americans at Manila want
nothing better than to have Aguinaldo
n.command. He is the Individual OF all
others they would prefer to have in that
position, for he Is the gentleman they
are after.
In connections with this announce
ment is a statement that the address Of
the United States government to the
natives of the Philippine Islands has
been made public at Manila by the COM
missioners in charge of 1t. If the dis
patch correctly quotes the address,
which, 1t is said, Is to be translated into
NIL the native dialects and distributed
on all the Islands, 1t Is likely to prove
very effective in bringing about deslr-
able results.
Assurance is given OF the intention of
this country to develop the powers Of
self-government among the people. and.
being responsible before the whole
world for the stable government of the
archipelago, the government promises.
in the meantime. to guarantee protec-
tlon to all natives who lay down their
arms and place their trust in the Amer.
lean authorities.
The United States commissioners who
ore the bearers OF the address will. in
all probability, recommend, after thor
oughly Weighing the situation, policy
of government which will be conserva-
tive enough to give public satisfaction
In this country. The address Is frank
and firm. though kindly In Its language,
