                                        Schedule 13D Amendment No. 2

     This statement constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the statement on Schedule 13D
(the "Schedule 13D") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Bear,
Stearns & Co. Inc. ("Bear Stearns") with respect to its ownership of the Common
Stock of Capital Holdings Inc. (the "Issuer").

Item 3:  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     Not applicable

Item 5:  Interest in Securities of the Issuer (as of 03/13/01)

        (a)     The responses of Bear Stearns to Rows (11) through (13) of the
                cover page of this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D are
                incorporated herein by reference.  To the best of Bear Stearns'
                knowledge, none of its executive officers or directors
                beneficially own any Common Stock of the Issuer.

        (b)     The responses of Bear Stearns to Rows (7) through (10) of the
                cover page of this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D are
                incorporated herein by reference.

        (c)     Since the date of its initial filing on Schedule 13D, Bear
                Stearns has effected transactions in the Common Stock of the
                Issuer.  Information concerning transactions in the Common Stock
                effected by Bear Stearns is set forth on Appendix I.

        (d)     Not Applicable.

        (e)     On March 13, 2001, Bear Stearns exchanged 442,399 shares of
                Capital Holdings Inc. Therefore, Bear Stearns ceased to
                be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Common
                Stock of the Issuer since the date of its original filing.
