Criminal Indifference t? the Lobs of Human Life.?The reported scenes at tbe recent holooanst at the Fifth Ave? nue Hotel, in New York, in which at least a dozen female servants were roast? ed alive, without opportunity of escape, indicate a criminal disregard of human life. I An eye-witness says that no doubt if an alarm had been sounded on the dis? covery of the fire, the girls would have been rescued. The general impression is, that the hotol proprietor?, in their anxiety to save the furniture and carpets, wonted to put the fire out themselves. The loud, piercing screams of tbe girls on the top floor were distinctly heard in the basement. At this time, the fire had made great headway; bat even then a hotel employee, whose attention was directed to the great glare, said, "Oh, it is nothing;" and again, "These girls will scare the guests if they go on in that way." Uen. Shaler, of the fire department, Bays the alarm was not given soon enough. Chief Engineer Perley says the location of the fire was first telegraphed to him at eighteen minutes past 11, and firemen were on the ground five minutes later. He thinks the delay at the hotel in giv? ing the alarm unaccountable. The tortuous ways of the interior of the building prevented the firemen doing very effective service. The foreman of one company says that at first he was refused admittance to the hotel, with the excuse that they didn't wish a panic among the guests. He finally insisted upon entering. The Fire Marshal says that nothing like sufficient precaution had been taken to guard against loss of life in the event of a fire at the hotel, and that he finds no efforts were made by the people in the hotel to rescue the girls. Ho thinks tho authorities were so concerned about the baggage of the guests that human lives were forgotten. Besides, the work? men were looking after the baggage in? stead of attempting the rescue of the endangered people. An employee says that be ineffectually endeavored to tear off the screws of the windows where the girls were confined. A movement is again being made to create a confederation of the five repub? lics of Central America, with a form of government similar to that of the United States.
