THE SEWS FROM ALL THE WORLD DOMESTIC. The president has appointed Herbert Putnam, of Boston, Mass., to be librarian of congress. Gen. James A. Walker, member ol congress up to March 4. fought a duel -with W. S. Hamilton in Bristol, Tenn., and was probably fatally wounded. ► A/windstorm swept over a large section of Pike county, Pa,, causing considerable damage to property and injuring a number of persons, some fatally. Martin J. Carter, of Pennsylvania, has been appointed consul of the United States at St. Johns. X. F. Horace G. Taylor, of Wisconsin, was sworn in as assistant secretary of the United States treasury. The designers of the mint are engaged upon a design for the new La Fayette dollars^ 50,000 of which are to be minted by the United States government as a compliment to the French republic. Should a portion of the Cuban army support the military assembly in rejecting the Gotnez-Porter agreement, and refuse to disband without a larger sum than $3,000,000, forcible disarmament will probably follow. The executive committee of the national board of administration of the grand army will meet in Philadelphia April 12 to select a commander in chief to succeed the late (ien. James A. Sexton. Charles F. Gillett’s private bank at Lagrange, 111., closed its doors with liabilities of $17,000. The circuit court in Cleveland has disbarred Judge Frank E. Dellenbaugh and Senator Vernon II. Burke for unprofessional conduct. The administration has decided to take a census of the island of Cuba as complete and careful as that taken in the United States. In an official letter to President McKinley Rear Admiral Sampson 3sks that the naval promotions, which were defeated*in the senate, be again announced, with his name omitted. Postmaster-General Charles Emory Smith left Washington for a hurried trip of three or four days in Cuba. The war department has decided to acquire such tracts in the Hawaiian -islands as may be necessary formilitary -nurnoses.

Cubans generally are im the action, of the assembly removing over Gen. Gomez from command of the army, and from all over the island expressions of loyalty to Gomez and faith in his motives are made.' As the United States senate now promises to stand when the next session begins in December, 1899, the republicans will hold, a majority of 16 clear. *• ^ Robert S. Lewis was hanged in Atlanta. Ga., for the murder of Charles Haynes, on gallows built by Lewis two .years ago. * An order has been issued by the war department increasing the age limit for enlistment from 30 to 33 years. The youngest age at which a man can enlist is 16 years. The sovereign camp, Woodmen of the World, is holding its biennial session in Memphis, Tenn. It is now practically certain that ten freight steamships have been lost on the Atlantic in recent storms, involving the sacrifice of over 300 lives and $2,500,000 of capital. Gen. Gomez, in discussing the stand taken by the Cuban assembly, said in Havana that he could recognize only one power in the island—that of the United States—and that in his opinion the assembly was only trying to get more money out of the United States. President McKinley Mhaa instructed Gen. Brooke to disperse and dispose ol the assembly should its members advocate acts of violence. In the Minnesota legislature & bill was passed which absolutely prohibits the practice of the boycott in anj of its forms. .It is announced at the war department that the remains of all the aolflier dead brought, back from Cuba will be sent for interment to any place which the relatives of the victims may designate.

There'were many thrilling scenes it; the hotel during the early «agcs of the fire. A hall-boy discover'd the flames while he was passing along ♦*». fourth floor, immediately over tl - rooms occupied by President McKinley’s brother, Abner McKinley, anil hifamily. The bov pulled a chain attached to the fire alarm, out the cham broke, and then he cried out. an alarm of fire, and ran to the floor below. The blaW was then licking uo everything on the Fifth avenue end of the hui’u inf, and the lad when he get o tfc« floor abbA-e the main hall, ran Into the American dining room, ami ga'e t .e alarm to the guests there.

Warn n Lcland. proprietor of the hotel, was in the rear of the long hall, and the boy shouted to him that the building was on fire. At Mr. Iceland's instructions the clerks tried to save all the books aig papers, and the boy then rushed '’ov. u the basement stairway and alarmed the women who were at work ia the laundry. It is believed that a’l of them escaped. A Daring; Rescue by Firemen. One of the most daring rescues effected by the firemen occurred on the fifth floor oh the Fifth avenue front. An elderly woman was seen at a window, and two firemen succeeded in reaching the window underneath. On? of them climbed to the coping of the window on which she was standing, a id then swung the woman clear of tin window, and landed her safely In ti e arms of his companions, who. wit a the assistance of several firemen, passed her to the street. The First Horror.

The first horror occurred jn?t 15 minutes after the fire broke out. A handsome woman appeared at the window of a room-on the fouth floor. She held out her arms to the crowd l»e!ow. Then she raised her hands as if i i sup]>lication. and in a moment climbed to the window and leaped. She turned about like a top. and struck the iron railing in front of the hotel, ller body seemed to be impaled there, but it fell off and into the area way. Sir- wt> dead. TbfVwoman, was identified n« Mrs. Amelia Paddock, of-Irvington'. X Y. Heroic Keseoe of Several Women. One of the most thrilling scenes o< the fire—at a tune w£en the building was a seething cauldron of flame—was the heroic rescue of several women from the upper stories. One had been carried down from the fifth story. Mrs. A. II. Fuller, of Pittsburgh, then appeared, with her maid, ar »he window of the fourth story, it seemed nr age before the ladder was lowered. Firemen ran up. and with great diiiiculty brought down Mrs. Fuller and her maid. Just as she was gotten out of the window a middle-aged women appeared at a window just nor‘h ct that at which the ladder was placed. ; The woman, fearing that she w«m*d net i be rescued, prepared to jump. Sl.e w; s warned to keep back, and became pan ic-stricken. and stepped hack into tin, dense smoke. A hook a ml-ladder man seeing the desperation of the woman seized a scaling ladder and went uj story after story through the blinding ' smoke. He climbed to the coping just as the woman reappeared. Seizing he* by the waist and holding tightly to tht ■ wall of the buildiug, he crept s!ow!\ on the coping and passed the faintirg woman to anothef fireman, who had j braced himself to receive her. There was a dreadful suspense as the firemen ! drew the .woman toward him, and final- ! ly had her safely on the ladder. A tremendous cheer went up from the crowd. Otfccr Brave Rescues toy Firemen. Fireman John Hanna, of the fire* boat Zephar Mills, rushed through the smoke to the top floor, and found Night Watchman MacNieho), ha’f asphyxiated. Hanna lowered him by, means of a wire to the fire escape two stories below, and let himself down the same way. His hands were badly cut by the wire. Then Hanna assisted the old man down the fire escaj>eFireman William Kennedy, of Engine Company 23, rescued a Mrs. Itrarn from the fourth floor of the hotel by means of a scaling ladder, ilis rescue was cheered by the immense crowd.

The post had.held tin enemy in check, arid the tire of the reinforcing companies repulsed them, driving them across to an* island formed by the estuary. 1 hey were, .hus in front of the Twenty-second !

Wheaton determined to punish the natives, and at daybreak yesterday his brigade started in the following order: The Sixth artillery holding the extreme right, the Oregon volunteers heading the center, the Washington regiment keeping to the **ige of the lake, and the Twenty-second regulars occupying the right of the hue. which swept the whole country along the lake, in a southeasterly direction, toward (len.

The enemy Heel, the last of them being seen about half-past three yesterday afternoon. At scarcely any time did the Americans get within 1 200-yards of them. TroOp* Returned Rxhnnnted. The troops returned to Pasig last night, exhausted by the hard work under a hot sun. The Oregon regiment had one man killed and four wounded, and the Twenty-second regulars one wounded. According to the official reports no fewer than 2(H) Filipinos were killed. ^ | >ow Command the Lake. Gen. Otis says the American army and gunboats now comma ml the lake. He estimates that property.of the insurgents valued at $300,000 has been destroyed, while quantities of rice and j sugar and 400 tons of coal, which is very valuable here, was captured. The Filipino* Arc Weakening;. Many prisoners represent that the Filipino soldiers are weakening. The generous treatment that the Americans administer to the native prisoner* and wounded seems to influence the insurgent army powerfully. In the ! opinion of the Americans, however, the Fiiipino leaders will continue to provoke fighting just as long as they can retain their hold upon their followers, because they have everything br gain uid nothing to lose. • More Men Than Arm*. The enemy has twice as many men I on their firing lines as they have arms, * and the fact that so few arms are cap j tured by the Americans is because the ! guns of the wounded Filipinos and many of those who surrender are spirited away. * The Tonr of the LakehyArmed Toss. The armed tugs Laguna de Bay and Oeste have returned to San Mucaii, and reported the results of i.beir tour on the lake. On Friday morning last they shelled the town of Moroug, the rebels fleeing without making any response to the fire. The Americans landed a pGrty, which destroyed a quantity of stores and all the stone buildings, except the church. The expedition then proceeded to Majaygay, where a sugar mill and a sawmill were destroyed. Sants Crva Strongly Intrenched. On arriving at Santa Cruz, a town of 1,200 inhabitants, it was found that the enemy was strongly intrenched and prepared to defend the position assisted by two gunboats ar.d severaip launches. Moreover the mouth of the river was blocked with rocks and bamboo.

Ex«du of ClKieit. A few shells caused the exodus of the citizens, but not of the enemy’s troops. The Americans did not attempt a landings Capt. Grant, who is in charge of the expedition, asked for reinforcements, and will probably take Santa Cruz today. Arrival* at Manila. The United States distilling ship Iris, which left Honolulu, for Manila, with the United States battleship Oregon, on February 20, arrived yesterday. Yesterday morning also-arrived the San Joaquin, the last of the overdue English steamers sailing under American registers, that were detained by the insurgents on the northwest- coast of Luzon. Gen.
