NORE QUEER FIRES, Kindlei in Bags in a Forty-Seoond Street House. Another Suspicious Blaze in the Uptewn District. Theory that Leaky Gas Mains Caused Columbus Avenue Fires. At 12.9 P. M. fire started in the cellar five-story brownstone house at 28 West Forty-second street, occupied by James H. Raymond. ‘There was no damage, but the flames were set in a bundle of rags. Up in the Harlem district where the two suspicious fires occurred Thure- day, there was another slight blaze this morning. It was under the stoop ef an unoccupied three-story, red-stone house, at 243 West One Hundred and ‘Thirty-sixth street. Patrolman John Boyle, of the West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street Station, was trying the basement doors along the street, when he came upon a Jot of rags and paper smouldering un- Ger the stoop. He immediately thought ff the incendiary fires, and rushed for @ bucket of water. One bucket put out the fire. The stoop had only been elightly scorched. A family by the nai of Schmidt moved out of the house three days ago, They hao evidently left the rags and paper in the areaway. The patrol- man believed that some one tossed a Nghted cigar into the basement, which eaused the fire. When he reported the matter to the station he was told to keep a sharp lookout. It has been suggested that the many fires in the Columbus ayenue district may be de to leaks In the gas mains. A great deal of blasting has been done in this vicinity. It Is thought that the frequent jars have caused breaks in the mains and that the gas escaping leaked fato basements and became ignited from lighted burners. uring the two days, April 11 and 12 last, nine fire alarms were turned in for ‘the district between Bighty-second and One Hundred and Fifth streets. Before those dates there was a large number of fires in apartment-houses of the district, and since then fires have occu two or three times a day at least in this immediate vicinity. Since the first outbreak of this epl- demic of fires the police of the uptown districts have been trying to discover the Bang of firebugs, who it is be- leved start the fires for the purpose of fobbery. On Thursday “The Evening World” printed an account of two in- cendiary fires in the uptown district, Started simultaneously within a block of each other. Since the fircbugs began their about one hundred and fifty famiiles, numbering about 750 persons have been put in danger of their lives by their Nefarious work. An alarm of fire was sent in shortly after 11 o-clock this morning from Am: terdam avenue and One Hundred and ‘orty-third street. The fire was in the chimney of the four-story flat-house on the northeast corner of One Hundred and Forty-fifth and was put out with little THE BRIDE SAYS NAY. 17-Year-O14 James Zisso's Child —_ Wife Cannot Live on #4 a Weck.

Parnell was committed for the sole purpose of robbery, and that the men who are responsible for the act are tramps who made a rendezvous of the woods near Ironsides, Mrs. Parnell’s home, Mrx Parnell has regained conscious- ness, but Is so feeble that she cannot be questioned. Dr. Schipps has hopes of her recovery. Near the spot where the assault oc curred the searchers have found a small ackage of meat, a brick spattered with ood, and a picket that had been torn fromthe nearby fence.

WASHINGTON, April 20-News has ‘Deen received to the effect that the French authoritier in Madagascar have put ex-United States Consul Waller aboard a steamer and sent him under guard to France, | JOHN L. WALLER, EX-CONSUL TO MADAGASCAR. He is under sentence of twenty years’ Imprisonement on a charge of be- ing a spy in the Interest of the Hovas in Madagascar against whom the French have been waging war. The sentence was imposed by @ court-martial at Tamatave, While this action on the part of the French Government will only add to the amount of indemnity {t will be called upon to pay, should Mr. Waller's friends show that the charges upon which he was sentenced ia baseless, it will still facilitiate efforts of the Department of State to fully develop the facts in the case, as it can now communicate direct- ly with United States Ambassador Eus- tis Instead of being obliged to adopt the tedious course of acting through an in- fertor conaular officer in Madagascar, out of reach ot cable communication. Mr. Eustis has been instructed to pur- ue the matter to an end and make a thorough examination of all the facts attending the punishment of this Ameri- can citizen. He will also make a spc- cial examination into the legality under treaty stipulations of the trial of a citizen of a friendly nation by court- martial, instead of by the regular civil tribunals, as is customary and perhaps absolutely essential. Moreover the case may involve the right of France to exercise jurisdiction over the internal affairs of Madagascar, from which she appears to have been expressly excluded by the treaty of 1885, which gave her only juriudiction over the foreign relations of Madagascar. NO RECOGNITION ASKED. Cuban Rebels Haven't Been om for That Parpot (Snecial to The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, April 2.—The talk about the United States recognising the Cuban belligerents ts without founda- tion, Neither has there been a repre- sentative of the Cuban insurrectionists in Washington with that object in view. So far as the practical advantages are to be conaide! it te better for the In- surrectionists that they be not recog- nized. The decision in the Itata case secures the widest possible latitude in the shipment of arms and ammunition, and the recognition of belligerency would have only a sentimental value. Consul-General Williama is expected here next week. He will give the State Department full information regarding the Cuban situation. He has not been recalled. He can go back to Cuba if he wishes to, but It is understood that he Is tired of Cuba and wishes to live in the United States. DELINQUENTS. CAN'T ESCAPE.

OPPOSING THE TREATY. Russian Newspapers Loudly Disap- prove the Terms of Japan. ST. PETERSBURG, April 20.—The newspapers are unanimous in disapprov- ing of the conditions for the conclusion of Peace between China and Japan. ‘They are opposed to the Japanese ac- quiring territory on the mainland of China. ‘The Novoe Vremya declares that Rus- sia cannot tolerate the cession of ter- ritory north of the Gulf of Pechill, add- ing: “Japan ma yhave Wel-Hal-Wel and any territory in the south.
