Burned in a Tenement Fire.

New York, Mar. 30.-Early this
morning Mrs. Bertha Cohen, 38 years
old, and her two children, Benjamin,
aged years, and Sophia, one year old,
persisted as the result of fire in big
six-story tenement at Norfolk and De-
lancy streets. Max Saltburg. Police
Officer Reardon and Michael Osstfeldt
were burned or Injured, while trying to
save the panic stricken tenants, 1t was
typical tenement house fire, starting
in basement store, and spreading with
rapidity through halls and airshafts to
the roof. The fire escapes were soon
thronged with halfclad, excited tenants.
The firemen and police soon got to
work and saved every body but Mis-.
Chen and her babies. Louis Cohen,
the father, escaped down ladder with
a young SOD, but Mrs. Cohen and the
two other children were unable to es-
cape. Their bodies were found on the
fire escape after the flames were exlin-
guished. In the panic which occurred,
mothers lost their reason and threw
their children from windows and fire
escapes to the street below. That all
were caught by the police and firemen
aud escaped injury seems almost q
miracle. A few thousand dollars will
cover the financial loss.

The Capture" OF 4 guinaldo.


Madrid, Mar. 30.-The Filipinos here
are belittieing the deeds of Funston
aud bis comrades 10 the capture OF
Aeuiualdo. A prominent member OF
the Filipino colony said today, that be
believed Agninsldo's capture was put
up job, of which Funston, however,
haa no inkling. The recent scheme OF
the American Philippine commission to
establish local government, which, 1t
was proposed. was to go into effect on
April /, was communicated, the Madrid
Filipino says, to Aguinaldo, General
Trias, and other leaders, all OF whom
agreed to accept the terms offered by
the Americans, with the exception
of Alejandrino, San Diego, MalvAr and
Father Agllpsy, chaplain general Of the
insurgeDt army. General Macarthur,
the Madrid Filipino continued, had
four conferences with Alejsndrino at
Pampaga. Alejsrdrino held for bet
ter Job than that offered to him, as
good Jobs had been offered to Aguin-
aldo, Trias and others. On account OF
AlejaDdrino's obstinsncy Aguinaldo re-
moved him from his command 10
the provinces OF Pangasnsn and
Zamboles, Baldomero Aguiuslio be-
ing appointed 10 succeed Alejandrioa.
Baldomero gave TO the Americans
Aguinaldo's letters appealing for more
troops which enabled General Funston
to penetrate to Aguinsldo's head
quarters with the help OF Hilario
Placido, who had Aguiusldo's con-
tidence. Only Aguiosldo, MacAr-
thur, President Taft, of the Philip
pine Commission and few Filipinos OF
high position were acquainted with the
plot, so the capture of Aguioaldo bore
all the marks Of genuineness, Aguinsl-
do having demanded that he should be
taken In this manner in order to save
his prestige. simultaneously Col.
Lopez and brother, Sixto, who COM
manded Balangas, surrendered, the sub.
mission of all being practically assured
with the exceptions before stated. The
Filipino agents in Paris had an inkling
of the scheme. When they heard OF
Aguinaldo's capture. Roxss, Lichanco
and Tuason, rich Filipino bankers. and
others declared they would 60 to the
American consulate and ask for papers
as American citizens, saying that Ale
iandrino and other irreconciliables were
unable to continue the insurrection.

that the foregoing circumstantial evil
dence proves Aguinaldo's completely 10

and polygsmy are fostered and cherish

hsmmedan, and not the Christian, is
the religion OF that island. But there
are many more things than are dreamed
of in the philosophy of the average
American voter.

wise war was the prolific source ofall me
woes of all the American people, black
