Tho federal troop3 repeatedly charged tho rebel's stronghold, tho arsenal, but wcro repulsed with heavy losses as rapidly as they advanced. Tho robels renowed thoir cannonading of tho National Palace and shelled Madero's private residence Tho latter was badly damaged. Madero told his advisers and leaders In the Moxlcan senate, who spent most of last night in trying to induce him to quit offlco and pormit tho olectlon of a now President, that ho will dio rather than do so.

I (Special to The Advertiser) It is( strongly intimated that tho special mooting of tho senate called this morning insisted on President Madero's resignation. Many of the senators did not attend as they declared they wero unable to traverse tho city. Minister Lascurin declared aftor the meeting of tho senate that it was by no means certain Madoro would resign. Tho President, he said, was to end the difficulty in a patriotic manner, if possible, wltuout further bloodshed, but this appeared improbable Francisco Do La Barra, former provisional President, professed ignorance as Ho declared the question of his resign nation had been submitted to President Madero and that the matter at present had gone no further, A few minutes later Do La Barra, accompanied by General Felipe Angela, a federal commander, went to the palace for a conferenco with Madoro. Following tho conference Do La Barra announced that Madero had authorized him and General Angela to confer with Felix Diaz and Gen. Manuel Mondragon on tho question of arranging an armistice. Madero proposed tho naming of a commission bv each Dartv to contrivo a plan for a solution of tho situation. I Diaz replied that ho could not consider . an armistice and that ho would enter ' into no negotiations for pcaco until ho was officially notified of the resignation of President Madero, the Vice President and the entire cabinet, BEADY FOE EMERGENCES. tly Federal WtrMes TeWrii.h , WASHINGTON, February 15. to Tho Advertiser) The administration hopes if Francisco Do La Barra should ultimately be Madero's successor that peace will follow. Do La Barra is popular with all Mexicans and has a closo knowledge of this government's feelings towards tho Mexican Republic. For soveral months after tho abdication of Porfiro Diaz lie acted as provisional President and his administration met with the approval of tho natives. It was admitted at tho state department, however, that even if poaco comes it will be months before any now administration is stablo enough to enforce order, and that Americans and other foreigners would continue to bo unsafe. Absence of news today of conditions at Mexico City and other Mexican points caused orders to be issued to tho commanders of tho warships Georgia, Virginia, Nebraska and Vermont, all in Mexican waters, to bo prepared to land marines and bluejackets if Aiuorican Ambassador Wilson, or any of tho American consuls, should need their services.

The vessel was not materially injured. The cargo space re- niiiins undamaged and tho vessel will sail at six o'clock Tuesday evening for San Trancisco, as scheduled. Chief Engineer Morse, after a survey last night, announced that ho could sail in nn hour and that cleaning up is all that is necessary. The Lurlino nrrived yesterday morning from Knhului. Tho nssistnnco of tho entire waterfront was last night extended to fight tho firo within tho Lurline.

After removal to tho Queen's Hospital in the machine by which sho was Btruck, sho died within a short time, never having regained consciousness, liartholomow is a recent arrival in tho city from Washington, D. C. Just where tho blamo for tho tragedy lies has not yot been determined by tho police, who aro making a thorough investigation nnd who have taken tho statements of several witnesses, including that of Mr. Bartholomew, but tho tiagedy proves tho utter disregard of auto drivers for tho possibility of persons ciossiug a street who may havo been concealed for a few seconds by a passing street car, and is an example .of tho necessity for making nioru drastic regulations concerning tho passago of autos alongside trolley cars. Had such an ordinance been in effect last night's accident would not havo occurred, and 11 woman's lifo would not have been sacrificed. From Behind tho Car. According to tho statement of Bartholomew ho was traveling up Nuuanu street on tho right side of tho Btrcet, and when about opposito Albert Afong 's residence, the second houso ubovo School street, a street car was en routo down toward town.- He says ho honked his horn several times as tho two vehicles approached and tworved to tho right. Just as tho street car passed, Bartholomew states that a woman stepped across tho tracks toward tho Waikiki side of tho street and camo directly in front of his path. Ho honked his horn, applied the brakes, but tuo car squarely Btruck tno woman, tuo Company, at onco offered tho use of any body falling between the two gas lamps of tho company's steamers in port to movo the Lurline to perform other service whenever desired. Superintendent Sheedy of the s.imo company, himself took command of a squad directly in tho engine room and did yeoman work. Alarm Startles Town. Tho firo was discovered by tho second engineer as it climbed up tho side of the settling tank. Between tho discovery and the alarm by whistlo, very few minutes elapsed. The unusual and prolongod whistlo startled the town mildly, but as tho oil tanker Santa Maria was due to leavo in tho evening it was supposed that it was she. It was tho only alarm given, Tho police, however, recognized in it tho signal of distress and Motorcyclo Officer Chilton was sent down to see what was needed. He soon learned tho facts and unable to secure a telephone on tho wharf motored back to tho station whore he turned tho alarm in both to tho police and the firo The engines and chemical trucks, together with tho polico patrol and a special force of polico guards from Chief Kollctts department wero soon on tho spot. Chief Engineer Thurston of the firo department took of tho firo fighting immediately upon arrival. Thetis Sends Men. The first alarm was recognizod as a police signal nnd was answered almost at onco by tho United States rovenuo putter Thetis. A .squad of twenty men, including a number of Filipinos nmong the crew, wore sent over to tho Lurline under command of Lieutenant I of Crete as finally evacuated by the protecting Powers, Great Britain, Russia, I service, getting down directly with tho I France and Italy today, and the Greek nag was hoisted amid enthusiastic J&.KK $$ ,? , ffi& demonstrations by the Cretans. A British cruiser, this morning, landed a detachment of bluejackets In Sudn Kay and these men hauled down tho flags of tho Powers, which havo flown lbflS, ns well as that of Turkey. Tho flags wero handed over to tho consuls of their respective countries, that of Turkey being placed in charge of the German consulate. In 111 eg Pine, nnd performed invnluablo and under tho wheels. When tho ma chine was brought to a stop Miss Chapman's body had been dragged until it lodged under the axle of tho hind wheels. Tho rapid transit car stopped at this juncture nnd passengers alighted to render service. Among thorn was Miss Young, n nurso on the staff of tho Queen's Hospital. Sho helped place tho broken form of tho aged woman into tho automobile and accompanied her to tho hospital. Sho was badly Injured and died almost as soon as tho hospital was reached. To Keep the Baby.

Whenever Mr. nnd Mrs. Williamson go out ovenings, Miss Chapman has been in the hnbit of goring to tho houso to look after their young baby. It was on such a mission last night that she wont to hor death. Sho was crossing tho street in tho company of Mr, Williamson's mother, and waited for tho street car to pass. Then camo tho tragedy. Mr. Bartholomew states his belief that Mis3 Chapman was hard of hearing, but Mr. Williamson says this is not so. A Kamaaina. Miss Chapman was born in England nnd enmo hero nearly thirty yoars ago with Doctor Rhodes, who was a well-known kamnainn. Sho always lived in Nuuanu street, living until recently in tho homo now occupied by Mr. nnd Mrs. Williamson. Sho is an aunt bv marriairo of Hon.

At half-past ten tho Thetis inen wero ordered on deck nnd tho firemen and tho members of tho engine room force and tho black squad alono handled what rcmainod of tho blazo. Very shortly afterward Superintendent of tho Inter-Island Steam Naviga tion Company, who bad been leading a squad of fighters bolow deck reported to Captain Wcedon that tho blazo was out. Master and Chief Away, Both Captain Wecdon and Chiof Engineer Morso wcro ashore when tho fire broko out. Tho master was at n friend's house in Waikiki but was notified by the polico department and arrived on board shortly after ton o'clock. Simultaneously tho question of tho chief engineer was on board or not nrose. Captain Weedou's first question was about him. "What's tho ho asked not a whit alarmed as ho stepped on deck. "Whero's tho chief engineer!" "Thero is a firo in tho fire room," volunteered Shipping Manager Drew of Cnstlo & Cooke. "So I believe," said Wecdon calmly, "Tho chiof engineer is not on board," gaid President E. D. Tenney, of tho party of Castlo & Cooke officials, which was 'watching operations. At that moment the same drunken man, who had played the role of tho low comedian tho evening became extremely wrathy and directing a torrent of nbmo nt Wecdon nm' Mr, Tenney swuro that tho chief nas right down oil tho job fighting tl.o fire.
