FRASCE WAS WEAK AT ENGLAND'S MERCY DURING THE RECENT CONTROVERSY OVER THE FASHODA AFFAIR LACKED ME* AM MUNITIONS PRINCIPAL PORTS COULD NOT BE FULLY MANNED WHEN MOB ILIZATION "WAS ORDERED SHELLS WERE WITHOUT FUSES So Declared M. Loiehroy, Minister of Marine, in a Speech During: a De bate on the Naval Estimates In the French Chamber of Deputies ■ —Honor of France Could N'ol Have Been Successfully Upheld. PARIS. March 17.— 1n the chamber of deputies today, during the debate on the naval estimates, M. Lockroy, minister of marine, sketched the government pro gramme and gave a curious insight Into the unpreparedness of the navy during the recent Anglo-French crisis. M. Lock roy said he regarded the defense of the maritime frontier as quite as Important as the defense of the Vosges frontier, and, while France desired peace and would strive to preserve it, a strong navy must be In readiness to repel aggression. The minister of marine then proceeded to reveal a number of startling facts re lating to the condition of the French ar senals at the critical juncture ln the re lations between France and Great Britain some months ago. He Quoted from the much talked of letter written by Gen. Dps Bordes last year, declaring that "not one of our naval bases is able, to fulfill the functions for which It was estab lished or capable of making a defense to s:;ve the honor of French arms. "Today, however," the minister declar ed, "our coast defenses are so much Im proved that we can speak of the condi tions of nine months ago as of the dis tant past. The difficulty at that time was en almost absolute lack of men. At our principal ports only one-third of the bat teries could be manned on the first day of the mobilization, and most of the shells had no fuses." M. Lockroy declared that he would nev er hold back the truth from the cham ber. "These facts," he continued, "have been obtained after painful inquiries, but there are men behind the guns every where now." France, he went on to say, must pre pare for the future as well as the pres ent, and all her financial resources should be economically employed to this end. He spoke In high terms of the personnel of the French navy, praising the courage and loyalty of the men, and advocated the German system of forbidding all for eigners on warships. _L Lockroy spoke with the greatest satisfaction regarding "experiments that have proved the submarine boat Gustav Zede capable of real service." He said the boat's new apparatus enabled it to perceive enemies and to strike them with accurate aim. "Thus," he declared, "France possesses a new destructive en gine of terrible power." _L Louis Jourdan, Republican member for Florae, followed with an excited pro test to the effect that somebody ought to be made responsible for a "state of things which brought the country within a hair's breadth of a conllict." POPE'S CONDITION. Conflicting Statements Continue to Cause Anxiety. ROME, March 17.— The newspapers (Fanfulla and Oplnlone continue ln their reports of the pope's condition to lay stress upon his weakness. The ■ Vatican functionaries, however, deny that there Is any cause for alarm, and says that his holiness walks about In his room and occupied himself today In arrang ing a small library and some pictures in. his study. At 5 this afternoon Prof. Maz zoni and Dr. Lapponl, his medical ad visers, visited him, the former changing the tight bandage that protects the wound. The pope conversed with them, and on leaving they declared themselves satisfied with his general condition. LONDON, March 18.— The Rome corre spondent of the Dally News says: "The pope was present at the delivery of a Lenten discourse by his special preacher. There were marly cardinals and prelates In attendance, but ln ac cordance with ancient custom, he sat be hind a screen Invisible to all." The Rome correspondent of the Times E;iys: "I am able to confirm the report that the pope's strength has never recovered from the shock of the operation. Al though there ls no reason to apprehend Immediate danger, his continued weak ness is causing grave anxiety at • the Vatican. Still it Is hoped that careful nursing and good nourishment will af ford a complete recovery, as a minute medical examination today revealed no symptoms of organic disease. It ls the pope's physical depression and absence of elastic vitality that suggested doubts of his powers of recuperation." SWEDES PETITION* CZAR. Ask That Finland Be Not Deprived of Home Rule. STOCKHOLM, March 17.— Five hun dred Swedish delegates have gone to St. Petersburg to present to the Czar a pe tition with 500,000 signatures, asking a modification of the imperial manifesto is sued on Feb. 15 in regard to the consti tution of Finland. The effect of the czar's manifesto was almost wholly to deprive Finland of the home rule granted that province when It was annexed to Russia. It made changes In the official language and In the schools, and was an effort to Russianize the Finns. Finland was formerly a part of Sweden, and Swedes take a strong Interest ln its welfare. What effect the petition of the Swedes will have upon the question ls doubtful. The promoters of the move ment are hopeful, although their hopes seem to have no very apparent founda tion.

PEACE WITH SPAM TREATY OP PARIS HAS HDK* DULY RATIFIED BY THE dUEEK REGENT AMERICA OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED "WILL. NOT BRING ABOUT IMMEDI ATE MUSTERING OUT OP THE VOLUNTEER TROOPS STATUS OF SPANISH PRISONERS In tlie Pbillpplnea Not Definitely De termined Next ln Order Will Be Resumption of Diplomatic Rela tions Willi Spain, War Having; Ab rogated All Commercial Treaties History of tbe Treaty. WASHINGTON, March 17.— M. Cambon, the French ambassador, called at the state department and officially notified Assistant Secretary Hill of the signing of the peace treaty by the queen regent. The first news of the signa ture of the peace treaty by the queen regent of Spain was con veyed to Secretary Hay and the of ficials of the administration through the exclusive bulletin of the Associated Press. The secretary was naturally grat ified at the action,, which he had ex pected would follow the course of the cortes. The action maiss it possible to exchange the ratifications, and thus complete the treaty within the time set by the treaty Itself as the maximum. The protocol was signed Aug. 13 last, at the White house, by the president and Ambassador Cambon; Dec. 10 the treaty was signed at Paris by the commission ers; Feb. 6 it was ratified by the United States senate, after a memorable strug gle; Feb. 10 the president gave It his sig nature, and now, today, seven months and four days after the signing of the protocol, the Spanish queen regent gave her formal assent and signature. STATUS OF PRISONERS. The signing of the treaty cannot in any manner affect the status of the Spanish prisoners in the hands of Aguinaldo, for the United States government Is doing all that can be done to secure their re lease. Still it ls apprehended that the Spanish government, being unable to" address itself directly to the United States government, so soon as the ratifica tions are exchanged- will not neglect to place the matter upon the attention of the state department, and perhaps will solicit authority to resume direct nego tiations with the Insurgents looking to tho release of the prisoners. The hope is entertained, however, that It may be unnecessary to decline such a request, for by that date the insurrection may have beer, quelled. If the Spanish gov ernment should Insist, however, some dis agreeable questions may be raised, In volving the formal recognition of the in surgents by Spain, in which case, per- —St. Louis Republic. haps, It might claim the right to deal directly with Aguinaldo. Contrary to an expectation that seems to have obtained ln some quarters, the signature of the treaty today does not in volve the Immediate discharge of all the volunteer soldiers. It was stated posi tively at the state department that legal ly the treaty- does not go Into effect un til the ratifications have been exchanged, and It will be further necessary for the president of the United States to pro claim It, before the people of the United States, including the soldiers, can know Officially 'that the war ls over. In all re spects, however, the state department will treat the war as at an end. TO RESUME RELATIONS. It ls expected here that the Spanish government, immediately after the ex change of the ratifications, will proceed to negotiate a treaty of commerce, trade and amity, the old treaties having been abrogated by the outbreak of war, and there being nothing ln force to protect trade between the United States and Spain. There are a number of officers in the war department who are charged with the customs affairs of the Insular pos sessions of the United States, whose duty it will be to proscribe regulations to give conformity to the pledges of the United States to give Spanish commerce with the Philippines and Porto Rico favored treatment. The draft of the peace treaty between the United States and Spain was signed ln Paris on Dec. 10. 1898, It. was approved by the United States senate by a vote of 57 to 27, on Feb. 6, and was signed by the president on Feb. 10. MADRID, March 17.— The queen regent has signed the treaty of peace between Snaln and the United. States. The signed treaty of peace will be for warded to the French ; ambassador at Washington, M. Jules Cambon, for ex change with the one signed by President McKinley. No decree on the subject will be published in the official gazette. FATE OF A TRAITOR. Body of an American Deserter Found ln Rebel Trenches. SAN FRANCISCO, March 17.— The fol lowing mall advices from Manila have been received by the Associated Press, dated Feb. 33: "The stirring events qf the past week have followed each other ln such rapid succession that It was a difficult matter to arrange them chronologically, much less relate them ln detail. The number of troops engaged and' the amount of territory covered by the American forces, as they have swept everything before them since the outbreak of hostilities with the rebellious natives, add to the difficulty very materially. "That trouble with Aguinaldo's forces encamped outside the city was Imminent and inevitable and had been apparent ever since ' the rebel leader Issued his proclamation demanding Independence, but the American authorities had avert ed It so often, by the exercise of rare discretion and patience, that, until the first blood had been shed, no one really believed that it had come, and that the bieach was irreparable. All day on the fatal 4th of February there .had been rumors of the receipt by Aguinaldo of messages from his Washington repre sentative, Agoncillo, counselling action immediately, if he desired to avert the ratification of the peace treaty, but none paid much attention to them, since it was known that only, forty-eight hours remained before the senate would act. Other rumors and the sudden disap pearance of native servants about the same time were also- received Indiffer ently, but no alarm was created there by, and there was the usual Saturday night bustle ln the city up to the time the stores close. The story of the out break and subsequent fighting has been covered by cable. "The American, a dally paper pub lished here, says: 'Ex-Corporal John W. Hayes, of Company D, First California volunteers, a traitor and deserter, has found his Just end. His body now lies ln a trench dug to bury the enemies of his country who fell in battle, with no slab at his head, his name forever hated by his own regiment. Hayes came with his regiment .to Manila. Last October he married a Filipino, and two days later deserted to the insurgent lines. This was the last his regiment heard or cared to hear about him until yester day, when, burying dead Insurgents, they came across his dead body, riddled with bullets, with the clothes of a first lieutenant of the Insurgents." ADMIRAL SAMPSON WRITES. Contributes a Chapter- to a Book on the War. NEW YORK, -March 17.— Rear Ad miral Sampson has contributed a chap ter to the book "With Sampson Through the War," Just issued by W. A. M. Goode, correspondent of the Associated Press on the flagship New York during the war. Admiral Sampson holds that the victory over Cervera Is not entirely accounted for by the superiority of the American force, and he; ls inclined to be lieve that it was due fnore to excellent marksmanship than to anything else. Regarding the strategy of Cervera, Mr. Sampson is of the opinion that had the Spanish admiral came out during tho evening, making his departure to coincide with a passing storm, he would have had a good chance to save one or more of his vessels. Explaining this he writes: "If this attempt had been made dur ing darkness. It would have enabled one of the Spaniards to have got out of sight of most of our vessels in a few moments. The result would undoubtedly have been different. It ls my opinion that If the time of escape had been set for the evening the result would have been more successful. The whole night would have been left the Spaniards to evade- their pusuers, especially had the hour been set to coincide with a passing storm, which would have diminished the intensity of our searchlights, and would ' have greatly increased the intensity of the darkness." The author, speaking of the reports turned ln by the various officers, after the destruction of Cervera' s fleet, says -the account of the' battle submitted by Rear Admiral Schley contradicted ln va rious details those sent ln by the battle ship captains. Mr. Sampson finally de cided to send for Mr. Schley, and the result was that the latter withdrew his original report and. submitted the one known to the public. The author states that the famous dis patch beginning "The fleet under my command," and announcing the victory of July 3, although signed by Sampson, was not written by him. am MR. REED AT JEYKL. Says His Trip Has No Political Sig nificance. BRUNSWICK, Ga., March 17.— Speaker Thomas B. Reed and daughter arrived to day from Washington, en route to Jekyl Island. Their stay ln this city was short. The speaker was asked by the Associat ed Press correspondent what was the pur pose of his visit. "Rest, simply rest," said the speaker. "There is no political -significance attach- j ed to my visit. I did not know that my coming would attract any attention at this time. My stay will be for a few days. There Is no one ln my party ex cept my daughter. There is to be no gathering of men prominent in national affairs on Jekyl Island during the time I am there, as far as I know." Information has been received here that the president and Vice President Hobart will arrive at Jekyl Island Monday next. Jekyl Island ls situated ln the Atlantic ocean, six miles from Brunswick, and ls owned by a club whose excluslveness ls proverbial. No one can get on the Island without a card, and newspaper men are especially unprovided for In this respect. FATALLY BURNED. Prisoner "Who Set Fires to the Cala boose Matting. ELK POINT, S. D., March 17.— L. W. Garfield, whose horoie Is at Mason City, 10., was fatally burned in the city cala boose here this afternoon. Garfield and W. G.

WOMEN LEAP TO DEATH TO ESCAPE CREMATION Fashionable Windsor Hotel Reduced to Ruins by the Flames Within Half an Hour After the Alarm of Fire Was Given Thrilling Scenes Witnessed by Thousands of People Gallant Rescues Achieved by Firemen and Citizens- — Hospital Forces Render Efficient Aid to the Suffering Victims of Burns, Fractures and Bruises. NEW YORK, March 17.— The Windsor hotel. Forty-seventh street and Fifth av enue, was entirely destroyed by fire this afternoon with great loss of life. Fifteen people are known to be dead, and there are forty or more seriously injured. More bodies may be ln the ruins, and many of the guests of the hotel are missing. John Foy, a waiter ln the hotel, was passing through the hall on the parlor floor, the first above the street. He was making his way to a place where he could catch a moment's sight of the pa rade. In front of him walked a man, a patron of the hotel. The waiter did not know him. Passing thus one behind the other, they had nearly gained the angle of the passage near Fifth avenue and Forty-sixth street, when the patron drew a match and lighted a cigar or cigarette. He tossed the match aside. It was still blazing and fell Into the folds of a lace curtain. In an Instant the flimsy fabric was ablaze and the flames shot to sur rounding draperies. This, from all ac counts, was the origin of the fire. The flames burst furiously forth from the second floor shortly after 3 o'clock, Just as the St. Patrick's day parade was passing the building. In a few minutes they had leaped up to the roof and en veloped the entire Fifth avenue and Forty-seventh street fronts of the hotel. Ten minutes later the flames were roar ing throughout the Interior of the hotel, and all escape by means of stairways and elevators was cut off. There was the wildest scene of excite ment within and without the building. Hundreds of guests and employes were ln the hotel when the fire broke out, and . for many of them escape with safety was Impossible. Probably from ten to fifteen lives were lost within a half-hour, and thirty or forty persons were Injured In Jumping from windows and ln rushing through the roaring flames ln the corri dors and on the stairways. Many who were Injured died later at nearby resi dences 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 may be twenty-four hours or more before the complete list of fatalities be comes known, and It will be longer than that before It can be ascertained definite ly how many charred bodies are ln the mass of alien ' masonry that marks the spot where the hotel stood.

FIRE BEYOND CONTROL The flames could not be checked, and ln two hours from the time the fire broke out the entire structure was in ruins and the streets on three sides of the building were filled with debris from fallen walls and chimneys, while the streams of water being poured upon the Interior of the ruins had no other effect than to fill the air with clouds of scalding steam, mak ing it impossible for anyone to approach near enough to search for the bodies of those who perished. The fire was the most spectacular that - could be Imagined. When It broke out Fifth avenue was crowded with people watching the St. Patrick's day parade, and every window In the front of the hotel facing Fifth avenue was filled with spectators. The day was all that could be desired, and an unuyiially large num ber of people were on the s*eets on that account, a fact which interfered not a little with the movements of the firemen and police. As soon as the flames were discovered shooting frofti the windows, that part of the St. Patrick's day pro cession which was near the building came to a halt, and ln a few minutes the pa rade was disbanded, for the police came rushing toward the fire from every di rection, and, as far as they were able, drove the. people from the streets. One alarm after another was turned in, and the first of the fire engines was not long ln appearing upon the scene.
