SUSPICIOUS FIRES IN FIFTHATE.
JANITOR OF AN APARTMENT HOUSE RE
PORTS THREE IN TWENTY
FOUR HOURS.

William Dyson the janitor of the five story apart
ment house at No 1,4O Fifth-ave., went to the
East One-hundred-an fourth-st, station last night
and reported three fires in the apartment house
within twenty-four hours, which he considered
suspicious and worthy of investigation. Dyson
lives on the second floor of the apartment house.
The first two fires occurred simultaneously AT
BIS O'Clock on Saturday afternoon. The first was
at the top Of the stairs leading to the roof, and
was discovered by George Johnson, a tenant, and
extnguished with two or three pals OF water. The
second fire was IN the dumbwaiter shaft In the
cellar. and quickly put out.
Mrs. Isaac Tyson, n tenant who lives on the top
floor was out at the time OF the fires, and did not
return until $50 o'clock Saturday night. She
found that the door leading TO her apartment had
been forced and that a gold watch and several
trinkets. valued at $50. had been stolen There
was a strong odor Of kerosene about Dyson was
about TO go 70 the police station yesterday. when
he needed the dumbwalter send some articles
upstairs. II opened the door leading 70 the dimo-
waiter shaft and took hold Of the rope to hoist IL
when the cable parted and the dumbwaiter fell
with a crash 10 the cellar.
Dyson found that the rope had been nearly
burned through. The top OF the dumbwaiter was
Charred and Il found that the door 70 the
on the top OF the dumbwalter was found a bundle
OF -harrcd rags There no odor OF kerosene
The police think that the person who entered
Mrs Tyson's apartment and stole articles probably
attempted 70 burn the apartment house and thus
make good an opportunity 10 go through The build
investigating -ha case. and the Fire Marshal will
make investigation.

aoVlces show this to be the case. and they are
using every effort to avert such action because
the Minister received a dispatch from the Vice
roy OF Human and Hupe. central provinces in
Chlna- on this subject. The Viceroy had been
IN consultation with other high officials Of the
empire, as a result of which they communicated
with the Chinese representatives in this and
European countries. directing them to request
the Governments interested not TO send any fur
ther troops to Tien-Tstn while the Government
is making every effort TO suppress the operations
of the Boxers, because Of the suspicious and ex-
element which such steps would cause among
thorities fear the consequences of the introduc-
ton Of these large bodies Of foreign soldiers
and hope that It may be stopped. Minister Wu
laid the matter before the Secretary OF State
and it will receive the attention of this Govern
ment.
Minister WI characterizes as ridiculous the
report that the Empress Dowager had decreed
is not true, he said, Il will bet my life on il.
She is too sensible a woman 10 do such q mad
and foolish thing as that"
Just now there appears to he q lack Of infor-
nation among the foreign embassies and lega-
tons in Washington as to affairs in China Their
home governments like our own are without
news of a definite character from Picking and
the officials here are almost entirely dependent
on the newspapers for what they may learn
specting affairs in the East.
The 9th Cavalry, which will sail from San
Francisco shortly, will not directly to Manila,
but will be taken to Nagasaki where orders will
be sent based on the developments in the Chi
situation.

CHINESE OFFICIALS FEAR EFFECT OF
LANDING OF FOREIGN TROOPS.

Washington, June 24.-The order given early
to-day for sending the monitor Monadnock to
Taku was countermanded. Admiral Remey re-
ported that the vessel had been stripped Of her
officers presumably for duties on the other yes
sells and for this and other reasons II was not
deemed advisable 10 send her. Chief among
these reasons IS the fact that the typhoons now
raging IN the Eastern seas would make voy-

low freeboard extremely uncertain She would
have 70 be towed the greater part OF the as

The war branch Of the Government is prepar-

Is of q magnitude which would both interest and

may be called upon TO face within the next few
weeks months, and for that reason there Is
no purpose 10 make public the complete prep

All that the officials will say is that both the
Army and the Navy, If the occasion arises, will
give a good account of themselves.
