the recent visit to the German capital
OF Mr.. Cecil Rhodes in connection
with his Cape-to-C Cairo railway project,
says:
The government, it is believed, will

that portion Of the line which crosses
German territory in East Africa. This

not unlikely, however, that a portion
OF the capital will be offered for SUBJ

AWFUL HOTEL flHS.


WINDSOR, We" wv
New York, March 90. - Flames
which originated from the ign'ting OF
a lace curtain, burst forth from the sec
ond floor of the Windsor hotel, at Forty
seventh street and Fifth avenue. short
" after 8 O'Clock this afternoon, just
as the St. Patrck's day parade was pas
sing the building, and in few mo.
ments they had leaped to the roof and
enveloped the entire Fifth-avertse ana
Forty.seventh street fronts OF the hotei.
Ten minutes later the flames were Ioar'
ing through the interior Of the hotel,
and all escape by means of the stair
ways and elevators was cut OF.
There was the widest scene OF excite
ment within and without the building.
Hundreds of guests and employees were
in the hotel when the fire broke out,
and for many of them to escape with
safety was impossible. Probably 10
lives were lost within half hour, and
40 or so persons were injured in jump.
ing from windows and in rushing
through the roaring flames in the cor
ridors and starways. Many who were
injured died later in nearby residences
and at hospitals, and others who made
wild leaps to the stone sidewalk were
so badly injured that they are still
lowering between life and death. 1t
may be "a hours or more before the
complete list of fatalities becomes
known, and it will be longer than that
before it can be ascertained definitely
how many charred bodies are in the
mass of fallen masonry that mark the
spot where the hotel stood.
Thus far IA are known to be dead,
AZ injured, and Al missing.

you are sacrificing One-twelfth of your
