Three thousand pupils, boys and girls, were this afternoon marched out of Public School No, 39, in the Bronx, tn lesa than a minute and a half, withont the least disorder, when fire was discovered on the top floor of the building. The fire, which was in the janttor’a storeroom, was put out with little damage. But the “three fours,” the much dreaded aig- nal to evacuate the school immedi- ately, was sounded and the children obeyed as if it were a drill, although the upper part of the school was filled with smoke. ‘The blaze was discovered by a little, wirl who wan in the top floor wash- room. She ran to her teacher with the news of the amoke and the teach- erin turn notified Miss Emma Lichten- stein, the principal, who gave the alarm, The janitor and his five as- aistants went to the doors, in response to the alarm, opened them, and the children, already formed in line by their sixty-nine teachers, passed through quickly and quietly. Then from the fire box at Kelly and Beck streets, which corner the school is situated, the @larm was sent in and the firemen and their ap- Pparatus soon filled the neighborhood. With the news of a fire in the school came an anxious army of mothers and fathers, but by this time the children were @ block and a half from the school, more interested in the arrival of the engines than anything else. It required some time reassure all the parents, but in a little while the firemen had taken ex- tingulshers to the top floor and put out the blase, and the children were signalled to return to thelr class- rooms. While Motor Engine No, 94 was on Ite way to the fire it ran into @ deep rut in the pavement of Southern Boulevard opposite No, 683 and the driver lost control of the machine, To avoid striking a horee and wagon he swung the wheel over and the heavy engine dashed onto the sidewalk and charged the house at No, 870, There three women on the front eteps were sent into @ panic and darted into the vestibule, The motor engine kept on after them, however, and took off the steps and the brass railing and the side coping where the women had been a few seconds before, The en- gine itself was not much damaged, but it did not go to the fire, Famity. — Nathan called to-day at en Meinen- ‘era Crug, left joctore for Mrs. AGO, Dh, Aprit Straus of New York the home of San berg, a sailor kill GIANTS WIN 00102° - 4 PHILADELPHIA 0 001- 3 Batteries—Mathewson and Meyers; Chalmera and Killifer.

Williams. (Qtaff Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, April 27.—European diplomats in Washington, ft was leamed to-day, are pessimistic over the successful outcome of mediation proposals by South American Governments. to prevent war with Mexico, While the action of Great Britain, Germany and France in urging Huerta to accept the good offices proffered by Brazil, Chili and Argentina has had an encouraging effect upon officials here, there are few who believe that success can eventuate from the undertaking, At 2 o'clock Ambassador da Gama and Ministers Suarez and Naod proposals. Though no announcement was made, it was reported that no definite plan for the next move had been determined. Diplomatic experts not directly concerned in the negotiations were iso far from sharing optimism manifested by some State Department officials in the Issue of the tender of good offices. No basis on which the negotiations were to go forward, once the formal acceptance from Gen. Huerta had been received, had become known in diplomatic circles, where the belief was prevalent that such a basis had not yet been evolved and that the South American envoys would find the formulation of the fure ther plans by far the most difficult part of their task. The utmost good will toward the mediation plan was displayed. 1 has, in fact, been tangibly manifested by the representations undertaker by the representatives of three great European powers to Huerta to’ fe duce him to accept the tender of good offices. It was quite generally felt, however, that too wide a gulf lay between the standpoint of the United States and that of Gen. Huerta to be bridged over by the pan American mediation. It is, said one of these diplomats, as if Huerta “is to be invited to step out and commit political suicide—and to expect bien to accept the invitation.” e It was understood in diplomatic circles here to-day that Foreign Mine ister Rojas of the Huerta Government was the official who had communi cated with the Spanish Ambassador here to signify the willingness of the Huerta Government to accept the good offices of Brazil, Argentina and Chile. The communication was therefore considered as practically an official acceptance binding on thé Huerta Government. Since the announcement Saturday night of the acceptance of the mediation proposals by this Government there have been misunderstand. ings as to wnat the original agreement as to good offices involved. The fact is that no formal conditions have been made by the South American envoys who propose mediation, either to Huerta or to the United States, Under no circumstances would the envoys suggest any stipulations to either side until each side to the international controversy has accepted the proffer of good offices. ‘ But in informal, conferences at the White House before the accept }ance of the offer of mediation, participated in by members of the Senate and the House and other Government otticials, it clearly was understood that when a stage might be reached upon which the mediators would be asked to stipulate terms of negotiations this Gov anything which did not mean the eventual elimination of Huerta ontrol of Mexican governmental affairs, But no formal stipulations this kind have been made nor can they be until a more advanced stage in negotiflions has been reached.
