TERRIFIC HEAT MAKES WORK OF
RESCUE By FIREMEN I'M
POSSIBLE.

New York, Nov. 27.-Thirteen per
sons lost their lives and several 9TH
ers were injured early yesterday in a
tenement house fire at One Hundred
and Ninth street and Second avenue.
All the dead are Italians. Seven of
the thirteen were children. The bodies
were found huddled together in rooms
on the top floor of the four-story build
ing, where the terror-stricken people
had been driven by the flames, which
rushed up from the lower floors. They
had succumbed before they could
reach windows which led to the fire
escapes. Some bad been enveloped in
the flames and burned alive. Others,
overcome by smoke, were spared the
agonies of death in the flames.
Work Of Incendiaries.
That the fatal fire Vas the work
of incendiaries. who sought revenge,
is the opinion Of the police and fire.
men who made the first hasty exami-
nation. Three weeks ago three Ital-
ians were caught in the act of at
tempting to rob the saloon Of Gut
seppe Cudano, on the ground floor.
The safe contained over $4,000, which
the saloonkeeper's friends had with
drawn from banks during the money
panic.
The would-be robbers were arrested
and are now awaiting trial. The fire
of yesterday started in Cudano's sa-
loon. and the police believe that it
may have been the work of friends
of the prisoners, who took this means
of squaring the account with the sa-
loonkeeper.
Find Piles Of Dead.
So quickly did the flames spread
that almost before the firemen arrived
the whole building was a furnace and
it was impossible for any one to enter.
After the flames had been partially
checked, the firemen fought their way
through the smoke to the upper floors.
There they came upon piles of dead
where they had fallen victims to the
rush of flames and smoke even before
they had a chance to attempt to save
themselves.

1900 ARABS FALL IN FIGHT.
10000 Tribesmen in Reckless On
slaught on French.

Makhnia; Algeria, Nov. q. - Ten
thousand of the fiercest Benis Nassen
tribesmen swooped down on the
French camp Sunday and were beaten
off with a loss OF 1900 killed. The
fighting continued for a long time and
was conducted on the part of the
tribesmen apparently with total disre-
gard for their lives.
At n time the French infantry
were in danger of being surrounded,
but they finally disengaged themselves
from their perilous position by a 0
brilliant charge of the Spahis.
Arabs Put to Rout.
The rout of the Arabs was COM
pleted by vigorous Smelling by the ar
tillery. The French loss was eight
killed.
The Arabs were not discouraged by
this severe repulse, but reformed their
forces, and in addition directed their
efforts to rousing other tribes. The
fighting was resumed yesterday and
the booming of cannon could be heard
throughout the afternoon. The results
of the battle now on are unknown at
present.
Drawn Into Ambush.
Lalla, Magma, Nov. 27.-During the
| pursuit of the enemy the Spahis were
drawn itno ambush and Lieut.. Bose,
who was riding in front, fell riddled
with bullets, but the troopers rallied
and threw themselves upon the
| Arabs in ambush, cutting them to
pieces. The French forces followed
| up their advantage, and securing the
| country killed many of the fugitives.
The artillery bombarded the mountain
slopes where the remainder of the
| tribesmen had taken refuge.

MANY APPLICATIONS FOR GER
TiFIcATEs RECEIVED At
THE TREASURY.
BANKS ARE BLAMED
OFFICIALS HOPE TO PUT STOP
TO PRACTICE OF BOARDING
CURRENCY.

Washington, Nov. %. Secretary
Cortelyou stated yesterday that he
was we'll satisfied with the number OF
applications SO far received at the de
partment for treasury certificates, and
that he already had made some allot
ments, but he maintained his usual
r~eticence when questioned as to the
number and amounts involved. The
secretary said that he had decided not
to make any public statement as tc
the details connected with the issue oil
certificates until the Panama cana
bond issue had been disposed of
shortly after Nov. 30.
To Use His Discretion.
The discretion reservation in his
original offer of 3 per cent certificates
that $50. 0OO, 900 will be allotted by the
secretary in his discretion upon offers
of subscriptions addressed to him has
brought a great variety of orders and
suggestions, among which 1t is some
what difficult to choose as to what Is
most advantageous to the government
and the financial situation.
The attitude OF the New York banks
in furnishing currency to country cor
respondents in such amounts as they
can spare without impairing their re
serve unduly has not been the subject
Of official criticism either at the
White House or at the treasury de-
partment. II Is felt that II criticism
lies against any institutions for hoard
ing cash It is the country banks rather
than those of New York.
Would Stop Hoardlng.
New York banks are known to have
| rejected demands for currency from
country banks where they knew that
the applicants already had a much
larger eserve than is required by law
and in many cases larger than the q
per cent required in reserve cities
The weekly statement Of the New
York banks speaks for itself as to the
reserve held there, and indicates the
heavy drafts which have been met
from country banks. 1t Is hoped by
the administration that the entire
| policy of boarding will come to ar
end when the government receives
the large amount of money which are
expected from the sale of Panama
bonds and the one-year certificates.
