ARE ALIVE AND WELL.
American Board Receives Reassur-
ing Advices in Regard to Cap
tive Missionaries.

Boston, Feb. 24.-Rev. E. E. Strong,
D. D., editorial secretary of the
American board Saturday stated that
he had assurances that Miss Stone
and Nine. Tsilka are alive and well
and that efforts for release are being
prosecuted unremittingly. He adds
that he has reason to believe that
more than once definite arrange
ments have been made for the re-
lease, only to be followed by disap-
pointment because an alarm has been
given, leading the brigands to break
off the negotiations and flee to some
new place. The renewal of negotia-
lions, accordingly, requires time and
patience.

Rear Aami-ai MINER Not mar.

rear Admiral Joseph N. Mlller, ro-
tired, who was reported mortally
hurt in the fire, was not hurt at ell.
He was found by reporter at ten
o'clock in the morning and said he
was in his usual health.
Mrs. Reed, wife of the hotel pro-
prietor, was rescued early and taken
to neighboring residence. Later
search was made for her, and when
she could not be found there were
fears that she had persisted. She
was not hurt.
How the fire started in the hotel
and fire officials declare that in their
opinion the blaze in the hotel was
entirely independent of that at the
armory; that it was only coinci-
dence that the two fires occurred so
near together.
Explosions in the Armory.
In the headquarters of the Fifth
brigade, in the Thirty-fourth street
and Park avenue quarter OF the
armory, large quantity Of ammuni-
ton, both blank and bullet cartridges,
was stored. These cartridges soon
began to explode and added to the in
tense excitement. Shortly after these
explosions had ceased the wall of the
Thirty-third street side fell inward.
This crash was followed by the ex-
plosion of about 1000 pounds of pow
der stored in the basement of the
armory. The defamation was terrific,
but firemen had been warned of the
danger and none of them were in
jured. Ambulances were called from
every hospital in the district, and the
firemen turned their entire attention
to the hotel. A line of hose was
quickly rushed up to the third floor,
while scores of guests were taken from
the windows by other firemen on the
outside. The firemen inside found
that the hotel was rapidly filling with
smoke and the firemen for time
dropped their hose and hurried
through every portion of the build
ing in search of guests who might
have been overcome by smoke. Their
search was rewarded, for on nearly
every floor and in the Railways scores
of persons were found who had been
overcome before they could reach the
open air.
Cause of the Fire.
1t was established with fair de.
gree of certainty Saturday that the
fire at the Park Avenue hotel orig.
mated at the base of the north eleva,
tor shaft. From this point it crept
up to the fifth and sixth floors and
spread in every direction, completely
quitting the upper floors.
Police Captain Delaney said that
when he was notified that the hotel
was afire there was no thought of
the structure being endangered from
the armory blaze.
The Park Avenue hotel was built
by A. T. Stewart, who spent $3,O00,-
900 on its construction and furnish
ings. The building occupies the en-
tire front of the block on Park ave.
nue. from Thirty-second to Thirty
third streets, with depth of half
block. 1t is seven stories in height
and encloses on four sides a court
containing $4,000 square feet of space.
AT the time of it's construction it was
the largest hotel in the country,
with the exception of the Palace
hotel of San Francisco.
Mr.. Stewart designed the hotel
originally as home for working
women, but when it was found that
it could not be managed on the plan
adopted by its founder, it was con-
verified into a commercial and family
hotel.
