Three Fires Started IN Tenement
House HGlL1cdyS.

Three fires. all said by the police to be of in
cendiary origin, caused a panic among the ten
ants in the block in 25th street between Second
and Third avenues last night. Two OF the fires
broke out in the house at No. 227 and the other
at No 231. The police found in each case that
the Railways had been soaked with gasolene,
The tenants OF both houses We're forced to get
out, and their neighbors became alarmed when
the rumor spread that some one had attempted
20 fire the whole block.
Many Of the families refused to go back TO
their homes again after the fires were out. The
first fire in No. 227 started shortly after )
O'Clock and put out with little damage.
The second fire broke out at II o'clock, and de-
stroycd the first floor front apartment. II was
hardly out when fire broke out at No. 231. The

LIBERALS AGGRESSIVE.
Seek Offices of Magoon-May Ask
HIS Recall.

havana, Nov "a determined effort to in
duce Governor MagoOn to begin a general dis
ulouuon or offices among the members of the
Liberal party was made this afternoon when a
subcommittee appointed by the Liberal meeting
on Thursday night. composed OF Juan Gualberto
Gomez. DeInetrio Castillo. Jose J. 01onteagudo.
Alfredo zayas and Carlos Garcia Velez. held a
two hours conference with the Governor The
result OF the conference is not known on leav-
Ing the palace. however. General VeIez said
the interview highly satisfactory and that
Governor MagOon assured the committee that
he would continue the reforms in the municipal
in June. General Velez evaded the question rs
to what reply Governor Magoon made TO the
specific demand for offices.
Other members OF the committee also pro-
fessed entire satisfaction with the outcome Of
the conference, but did not state definitely that
their demands were complied with
Governor Magoon said that he did not con-
slider 1T appropriate to make any statement with
regard to the conference in anticipation of the
committees report. 1t is generally believed,
however, that he did not respond to the press
ure and make the desired appointments.
While the committee on appointments did not
meet tonight TO report the result OF the con-
ference with Governor Magoon, there was a
meeting at the Liberal Club. attended by 200
members of the party who took part in the
recent insurrection. General Renos presiding.
Among the other leaders present were Asbert.
Betancourt and Estanoz The meeting mani
tested its strong disapprobation of the Gov
ernor's course in not filing vacancies with Lib
erals, and resolved that if the demands Of the
party were not promptly complied with to ar
range an anti-Magoon demonstration in the
form of parade and mass meeting, the latter
to pass resolutions appealing to President Roose-
velt to recall Governor Magoon. Furthermore,
the meeting appointed committee to call upon
Governor MagOon tomorrow and demand me
reinstatement of Juan r. O'Farrill. former Lib
