the Foreign Consuls

oy <ASSOCldtSu iSSS'
MANILA, Feb. 27.-A leading Amer
lean firm in this city has received the
following cable from Canton:
"The boycott has greatly encouraged
the anti-foreign feeling. Teachers, re-
formers, agitators and the native news
papers now have the power of that as
sociation behind them, causing re-
markable growth in the reform party
and secret societies. while the anti-for-
eign, anti-dynastic viceroy of Canton,
by his autocratic rulings and his an
tagonistic attitude to the anti-foreign
consults, encourages the masses of the
people in their anti-foreign feeling.

foreign church procedure, approved by
Peking, has strengthened the revolt

|NCENO|ARIES ARE
AGAIN At WORK
TUESDAY EVENING BLAZES
LOOK SUSPICIOUS
Six Stores and Methodist Church,
Near Twenty-flfth Street and
Central Avenue, More or
Less Damaged

More work Of incendiaries, says the
fire department regarding the blaze in
seven buildings that originated early
last evening at Twenty-seventh street
and Central avenue.
Six stores and Methodist church
were badly damaged by fire about 9:30
O'Clock. From the appearance of the
blaze, which started simultaneously in
each of the stores, the fire was the
work of pyromaniacs, and rigid in
vestigation Is being made.
1t is estimated that the damage will
amount to about $2600.
The fire seemed to originate In each
of the seven buildings at once Despite
the quick response of the fire depart
ment, when 1t arrived on the scene the
business block was in flames and the
church that stood back of it was burn
ing fiercely.
Quick work by the department soon
put the fire under control.
Inquiry Begins
An investigation revealed no real
cause for the blaze. Those that saw
the flames first say that each of the
stores seemed to be illuminated at once,
and from the investigation of the de-
partment the conflagration was to all
appearances of incendiary origin.
The real estate office of A. M. Will
hanson at 2501 Central avenue was
damaged to the extent of $780, and a
large amount of furniture was practi-
cally destroyed.
To the cigar store occupied by Is.
Wilkinson at 2503 the damage was the
heaviest. 1t is estimated that the loss
there was about 500. On neither of
these stores was more than little in
surance carried.
Mrs. Mary Rosenberg, occupying the
store building at 2505, sustained $500
damage to her millinery stock Only
$3.50 insurance was carried. The Dean
Incubator company at 2507 sustained
similar loss
But little headway was made by the
fire in the grocery store of ]. S. Bell at
2509. Only $500 damage was done and
that was covered by insurance. The
Ferguson Harness company at 2511 sus-
tanned a loss estimated at about $10O.
Just back Of the buildings on Twen-
ty-fifty street is the Methodist church.
This building was blazing at the same
time that the others began to illumin-
ate the sky. The department sue
ceeded in extinguishing this blaze
quickly and only a loss of $3.50 was
sustained
