So Long az Honor lis yfndicatea He

Washington. Dec. is. - Beyond the
comment that his honor had been vim
dicated and he was satisfied with the
decision of the court, Admiral Schley
refused to talk when told of the finding
or the cur of inquiry by a reporter.
Although he did not venture any re-
marks his face showed some disap-
pointnent as a majority OF the findings
of the court were read TO him. His
face frightened up and a smile of satis-
faction was evident when the MEM
bers of the court commended his cour-
age and general conduct during the
battle. He displayed even greater sat
isfaction when the additional report of
Admiral Dewey. commencing his entire
course, was read.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-The ~four-story
| apartment building known as the Ottin-
ger lfiats, at the corner OF Indiana ave-

at an early hour yesterday morning.
The sixty tenants, most of-whom were
asleep, were aroused by the dense
smoke and many narrow escapes from
death were spectacular and exciting.
So far as reported every one left the
burning building by the fire escapes or
from ladders hoisted to the upper win
dows by firemen, but much suffering
was caused by exposure to the intense
cold in scant attire.
When the first detachment of fire
fighters arrived the majority of the
tenants were panicstricken and rushed
wildly through the halls and apart
ments in their efforts to leave the
building. The attendant cold spell was
responsible for the fire. Complaints
from the tenants that the building was
insufficientIy heated caused the ~janitor,
John West, to overhead the n In
the basement, where the fire started.
The ~janitor rushed to the upper floors
and aided in ~arousing the occupants of
the, sixteen apartments. Very soon all

Many persons were kept by force from
leap.ng from the upper windows: 9TH
ers were overcome by the dense smoke,
and a scene of indescribable confusion
followed. Women in their night
clothes and with bare feet climbed out
on the fire escapes and descended to the
street and were given refuge in neigh
boring residences and stores. Many
daring rescues were made by the fire.
