Widow and Two Children Dead
Several Badly Injured.
OVERCOME BY SMOKE.
Daring Work OF the Firemeu in Res
cuing the Inmates. Whose
Escape was Cut Off.

New York, Jan. GA tenement house
fire On East Ninety-second street early
today resulted in three deaths and seven
persons being injured. The dead: Mrs.
Mary Sutherly, a widow; Frank Suther-
~ 8 years old, and James Sutherly, %
months old, two sons Of Mrs. Sutheriy.
The injured are: Harry Sutherly, Mrs.
Sutherly's 5-year-old boy, who is in
critical condition; Raphael Pitizzo, who
saved family from burning, ankle
spralned and bruised Fire Lieut.. Charles
Stone and Fireman Michael Edean,
Michael Sullivan, Charles Mccarthy
and Martin O'Leary, who were overcome
by gas and smoke
The fire started in the cellar, had
gained much Roadway before the firemen
arrived, because of another fire in the
same district, upon which they were en-
gagged at the time the tenement fire was
discovered. A policeman aroused the
tenants. Meantime scaling and extern
sion ladders were raised by the hremen
and a number of women and children
who had collected upon the fire escapes
on the front of the building were safely
carried down. Firemen who had run
hose into the cellar, were being over
come by smoke, when a number Of other
fremen ran in and rescued their sutfocat-
ing comrades.
Raphael Pitizzo. who lived ON the third
floor, took his family of three small chii-
dren down the rear fire escape to the
second floor, where he was cut off by
flames. While clinging to the fire escape
he was compelled to pass his children
over 12-foot fence, surmounted with
spikes, which separated the tenement
from the adjoining house. His arms
were cut by the spikes on the fence and
when he saw his children all in safe
ty, he collapsed and fell, sustaining
bruises.
sWhen the firemen were able to enter
the building they found the dead body
of Mrs. Sutherly lying face down with
her baby dead in her arms. A few feet
from her on the floor lay the half-burned
body of her boy Frank. The damage to
the property is estimated at $1,000.

BRITAIN BACKS DOWN.
Renounces Further Search of Ger
man Mail Steamer General.

Berlin, Jan. Ga dispatch received
here from Alden, the British fortified port
at the southern entrance Of the Red sea,
says the authorities of that place have
renounced all further search of the i'm
perial German mail steamer General, de-
tanned there under suspicion of having
contraband of war on board. The dis
patch adds that the steamer will resume
her voyage in a few days.
This report has operated to soften some
of the harsh talk of the German people
and at the same time is interpreted as
showing that the vigorous protests of the
foreign office did not go unheeded.
While the foreign Office was not to be
stampeded by the outcries Of the newspa-
pers it is quite true that the protests We're
accelerated by the vigorous tone of the
German press. The conservative view
is that in q conflict with Great Britain
Germany would stand alone, and that
an emergency. The agrarian Deutsche
TagesZeitung goes to the extreme of
comparing the Bundesrath and General
incidents to the Fashoda affair.
France the paper says, has bad her
Fashoda: now the humiliation is ours
IF Bismarck were still alive" says the
Hamburger Nachrichten, 1.-THE matter
would be settled at Il rluch quicker
rate.
England Wants Peace.
DR.. de Pindella, the Portuguese minis
ter at Berlin, III an interview today ex-
pressed the belief that Britain was anx-
ious to conclude peace with the Beers,
and that after the war the Transvaal
had fairer chance than Britain of Sc
curing Delagoa bay.
Many papers suggest that the German
government ought to prohibit the Krupp
works from delivering the $4,000 steel
shrapnels ordered by Great Britain If
Great Britain was so intently averse to
German war articles being sent to the
Beers she must renounce securing the
same materials for herself
The Berliner Tageblatt has a report to
the offect that the German bark ship
Hans Wagner, which sailed for South
Africa before the outbreak of war had
powder and dynamite on board.
In maritime circles it is suggested that
German imperial mail steamers be escort
ed by warships until danger of seizure by
British ships is passed.

Topeka, Kas, Jan. 6.--Mr. Crane of
Buffalo, a wealthy manufacturer of Gle

walk on the platform and was left be-
hind when the train drew out. His wife

a special train, in which he left Topeka

cial-an engine and a cOach-sped west
ward at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
1t was expected that the special would
overtake the flyer" at Newton, but a
spring hanger on Cranes train broke at
Peterton and delayed him thirty-fve
minutes. At Newton the flyer" was
held forty-fve minutes awaiting the ar
rival Of the special. The run from Flor

made in thirty minutes.

Something New in Spain.

Until a year ago such thing as az
electric car was unknown in Spain. The
cars in a few principal towns that could
boast of having tramways of any kind
were drawn through the streets at jog
trot pace by horses or, more frequently,
mules. Within the last few months,
however. foreign enterprise has been the
means Of inaugurating electric traction
in the streets of Madrid Barcelona, Va
lencia. Bilbao and San Sebastian and
the lead thus taken by the principal tram
way companies in the chief cities of
Spain is likely to be quickly followed by
others.

Reports OF Russian Troops

London, Jan. 6.-Cn the Stock ex-
change today prices were weak at the

railroads to transport troops. The ex-
pertinent, it is added, is regarded as high

HORRIBLY MUTILATED.
FiendjSh Treatment of American
Prisoners Held by the
Rebel Insurge

Manila, Jan. 6-7:30 a. m.-Advices
from Magalang, province of Pampanga,
report that Capt. Conhauser, with three
companies of the Twenty-ffth regiment,
captured the insurgent stronghold Com
manche, on Mount Arayat, yesterday.
Three Americans were wounded but the
enemys loss is not known. Three mem
bers of the Ninth and two Of the Twelfth
regiment, whom the insurgents held as
prisoners, were shot and horribly mutt
lated. Three of them are dead and the
other two are recovering.
Capt. Conhauser set fire to the barracks
and the town.
The Report Confirmed.
Washington, d. c., Jan 6.-Official
confirmation has come from both Gen.
Otis and Admiral Watson of the first re-
port from Manila of the release OF the
American prisoners who have been held
in the hands of the Filipnos for many
months, and there is no longer any doubt
that Lieut. Gilmore of the Yorktown is
among the number. Gen. Otis dispatch
reads as follows:
Manila, Jan. 6.-The prisoners now en-
of them Will be telegraphed tomorrow.
Capt Gilmore is among the number.
Admiral Watson's advice is as follows:
Manila, Jan. 5.--Cols. Hare and Howse
have recaptured all of the American prison
ers, including Gilmore, now at Vigan.

The sweeping statements made in the
dispatches to the effect that all of the
American prisoners have been released
has aroused a hope that ia the list will
appear the names Of some Of the officers
and privates of the army who are set
down upon the army rolls as missing

for Their Services.

Chicago, H., Jan. 6.-For their serv-

NJ. Pullman. Robert 7. Lincoln and Nor
man b. Ream will receive $425,000. The
formal order permitting them to take this
sum from the assets of the estate now in
their hands was entered by Judge Batten
Of the probate court yesterday.
Everyone interested in the property left
by Mr.. Pullman gave consent and agreed
that the compensation was not too high.
The fee is the largest ever awarded in
the probate court of this county, or of
any other county in the country so far as
could be learned. The entry of an order
granting executors a fortune for little
more than two years service would not,
experienced attorneys say. have been en-
tered by any court III an estate where
there were minor heirs. 1t would only
be done by unanimous consent.

in the event of her contracting large loan
for the purpose of recognizing her finances,
the two governments were disposed to guar

the recognition of the integrity of the
