overcome by smoke and then caught
in the flames. Others who had been
aroused too late fell unconscious be.
fore they could reach a window and
were burned to death scarcely an
arms length from safety. Many more
we're injured by jumping from upper
windows TO the street or by being
crushed as they fought for positions
Of safety on the choked fire escape.
Several of the injured who were
taken to hospitals are in a critical
condition. That so many persons
were killed and seriously injured was
in part due to the carelessness of the
tenants of the house themselves and
their disregard of the rule that fire
escapes must be kept clear of obstruc.
tons at all times.
Threw Children to Street.
When the frightened men and WON
en- rushed from their rooms they
found the fire escape platforms over
ed with boards which could not be
quickly removed. Excited fathers and
mothers with children in their arms
and the smoke pouring out of the
windows behind them and the crack
ling of the flames behind them, be.
came panic-stricken and tossed their
children TO friends in the street.
Fully a dozen children we're tossed
from the second and third-story win
dows and were caught by men stand
ing in the streets. The men and WON
were later carried down by firemen
ladders.

in Manila Bay.
ON scene OF HISTORIC FIGHT
Fleet EvOkes Widest Enthusiasm and
Admiration of Thousands of
F~iIipinOs.

Manila, Oct. 4. - With the brilliant
tropical sunlight pouring down on
their polished buns and cleaning
paint, and a swift land breeze whip.
ping their many flags u straight
from the STATS and stirring the bunt-
ing that covered the half hundred
launches and excursion steamers that,
crowded with thousands, escorted the
big ships up the bay, the Atlantic bat
tleship fleet steamed slowly into Ma
Mia bay yesterday afternoon, and.
sailing majestically across the battle
field where Dewey and his men fought
their historic fight with the Spanish
fleet ten years ago, dropped anchor
off the city. "
The fleet cleared the south channel
shortly after noon and steamed I'D the
center of the bay, while launches and
steamers, sailing proudly along beside
the monsters of the navy, sounded a
discordant welcome with whistles,
cheers and every other noise-making
device that could be c%ontrived.
FiIlpinos Cheer Wildly.
The ships presented a magnificent
appearance as they moved slowly
along, and the sight of the long line
evoked the widest enthusiasm and
admiration Of thousands that crowd
ed every point of vantage.
The anchorage was reached at 3
p. m. and all along the shore line the
crowds continued to increase. even
after the last vessel had come to rest.
AS the ships anchored, Gen. Weston,
military commander in this city, sent
a wireless message conveying the
greetings of himself, his officers and
the men of tie army to Admiral Sper-
~ and his Admiral Sperry re-
piled, thanking him for his kind wei
come. Gov. Gen. Smith witnessed the
arrival of the feet from his launch.

Sperry discussed the question with
Gov. Gen. Smith this morning, and
this action was determined upon.
There are still several new cases OF
