AWFUL Windsor Hotel, New York, Totally Destroyed by Fire. New York, March 18.—Flames which originated from the igniting of a lace curtain burst forth from the second floor of the Windsor hotel, at Forty-seventh street and Fifth avenue, late yesterday afternoon, just as the St. Patrick’s day parade was passing the building, and in a few moments they had leaped up tc the roof and enveloped both fronts of the hotel. Ten minutes later the flames were roaring through the interior of the hotel, and all escape by means of stairways and elevators was cut off. There was the wildest scene of excitement within and without the building. Hundreds of guests and employes wore in the hotel when the fire broke out, and for many of them escape with safety was impossible. Probably from 10 to la lives were lost within a half hour, and 30 or 40 persons were injured in jumping from windows and in rushing through the roaring flames in the corridors and on the stairways. Many who were injured died later at nearby residences and at hospitals, and others who made wild leaps to the stone sidewalk were so badly injured that they are still hovering between life and death. It will be hours before the complete list of fatalities becomes known. Lawbreakers Now Fear Havana Po-lice-Fatalities of Recent Riot. Havana, March 21. —The excitement growing out of the conflict between the police and the populace is rapidly subsiding, and it is not likely that there will be further trouble. The mob has been taught a lesson which will probably prove sufficient. Lawbreakers now fear the police and realize that the latter will not tolerate resistance to their authority.

During the affrays of Saturday and Sunday three police were killed and about 15 wounded, while of the populace five were killed and between CO and 70 others wounded, some so seriously that they probably will die. The condition of Police Captain Jose Estranipes is serious, but it is expected he will recover. Sixty arrests have been made and orders have been issued to the police not to hesitate to shoot hereafter, should occasion require it. IN THE TOILS Members of the Firm of 14. S. Dean & Co. New York, March 18.—D. B. Kellogg, Samuel Keller and Myron S. Bernard, members of the old bucketshop firm of E. S.

PRESIDENT KRUGER Favors the Government Retaining the Dynamite Monopoly. Pretoria, March 20.—President Kruger, in an important speech at Heidelberg, emphasized the necessity of the state retaining the dynamite mouoply, because, as he argued, the South African republic being an inland state, in the event of trouble with any of the powers, its supplies of explosives might otherwise be suddenly cut off. “Where should we be then,” he exclaimed. He’ a.mounced his intention to modify the mining laws and reduce the period entitling au applicant to full burghership from 14 to nine years’ residence. DON CARLOS To Enter Spain Soon After Exchange of Peace Treaty Ratifications. Rome, March 21. —The Opinione revives the story that Don Carlos, the Spanish pretender, has secured advances of several millions from English and French bankers and will soon entei Spain.
