TURKEY MUST PAY
MONEY AT ONCE
PeremptOry Demand Made on
TeWfk PaSha for IRdeIl-
nifty Promised

Constantinople. April 27.-The Amer
ican note handed to the Turkish min
lister of foreign affairs, Tewfik Pasha,
on Tuesday, is couched in peremptory
terms, demanding immediate payment
of the indemnity several times prom
ised to Minister Straus by the sultan.
The note does not fix a time limit for
an answer, but its tenor is not far
from the character Of an ultimatum.
It has produced a great impression
upon the porte. which, however, shows
no disposition to modify the attitude
hitherto maintained, namely, re-
pudiating the responsibility and seek
ing to diminish the Importance Of the
matter. II is presumed that the porte's
reply will be in this sense; and hence
it is feared the United States govern
ment will be obliged to take steps to
enforce it's demands.

Property Loss Now Estimated at
$17OOO,OOO-Sufferers Appeal
to Country For Help
FRIGHT KILLS AGED WOMAN
HARDSHIPS FACE SURVIVORS

Ottawa, Ont, April 2S.-Over five
square miles of territory burned over.
more than 1000 buildings destroyed,
seven lives lost, 1000 men, women and
children homeless and property loss
of S17 100000, according to the latest
estimate, insured for half it's value. are
the results of the destructive fire which
swept this city and Hull Thursday and
yesterday. Although under control for
many hours the flames were not en-
tirely extinguished until yesterday.
The list of dead is as follows: Miss
Minnie Cook, aged 40 years, cremated
in her own house; John Pumple, car
repairer, suffOcated in Canadian Pa
cific railroad yard; George Peeley,
shoemaker suffocated; John Dare,
Hull, fireman for e. b. Eddy & Co.:
unknown man, found dead in Meyers
House, Hull; Mrs. Carron, Wellington
street, Hull, aged 80 years. died from
fright; A. Baudin. years Old son of
Charles Baudin, Duke street, Hull.
A relief committee has been formed
by the citizens, and this, together with
the Catholic archbishops of Ottawa
and Montreal, will make an appeal
for relief to the country. The most
serious problem that cOnfronts Hull is
that Of work. The majority of house
holders who were burned out are poor
and have large families. 1t is not ex-
pected there will be employment for a
considerable period, and the way in
which many of the poor are going to
live in the meantime is doubtful. On
the Ottawa side fully two-thirds of
Dalhousie ward is devastated, and an
estimate by residents of the district
place the number who were without
roofs of their own last night in this
district at 5000. The destroyed prop
erty in this district included some Of
the finest residences in Ottawa. as well
as a great many of the humblest.
The Ottawa Electric company will be
a very heavy loser. An approximate
value of their property destroyed is
placed at 100000. The ottawa Elec-
trio Light company had six power
houses. There was one central, or dis
tributing power house, and the other
five were auxiliary or sub-stations. OF
these sub-stations only one that oper-
ated by steam, remains, the other four
being destroyed. The Central power
house and the steam auxiliary station
were only saved after a hard fight
by the directors and employees.
The fire area was viewed by hun
dreds Of people yesterday afternoon
and evening. One of the most remark
able things about the sad scene was
that no smoke was to be seen. There
were no half burned buildings OF
smouldering logs anywhere. Every
thing that the fire touched was burn
ed to ashes. All of Hulls principal
buildings with the exception of tho
Catholic church are things of the past
The buildings and land in the place
are valued at S2,700,00O, and of this
amount over S1,OOO,OOO may be put
down as a loss. Then in stocks, fixtures
equipment, household effects and wear.
ing apparel there is a loss of nearly
S3,O00,O00. The vast piles of lumber
which went up in smoke may be reck-
Oned at S2.OO0,00O more.

Completely in The Grimes

New York. April 2S.-Armcd with
search warrant from Judge Mcmahon,
of the court Of general sessions. Capt
Schmittberger. of the West One Hun
dredth street station, together with
number of detectives. raided the pawn
shop Of William Wiesenberger, at 52S
Sixth avenue. yesterday. The search,
which was a virtual seizure Of the
pawnshop. was made on a warrant
based on the confession of Harry Hess,
notorious 6urglar, who pleaded
guilty to burglary in the second degree
before Judge Mcmahon on Monday last.
Yesterday Hess confessed to AZ burg
laries on the west side.
In Wiesenberger's pawnshop Capt.
Schmittberger recovered about S25,00
worth of property. consisting of jew
elry and slverware. costly hangings
and valuable wearing apparel Capt.
Schmittberger declared Hess received
about 81 600 for the lot.
The police in all the uptown pre-
cincts notified everybody whose house
had been burglarized recently TO 60 20
Wiesenberger's and inspect the goods.
All through the afternoon the resi-
dents of the upper west side came to
the pawnshop. nearly 100 women be-
ing included in those who were able
to identify stolen property.
About a thousand different pack
ages were examined. and as each was
identified it was forfeited by the police
from Wiesenberger's stock. The in
spection is being continued today.
In his confession Hess declares that
he sold the stolen property outright TO
Wiesenherger. The pawnbroker de-
MED this strenuously. and said that
the goods were pledged in the regular
procedure of business.

without loss. but with the advantage
of seven British guns, together with a
hundred prisoners captured.
Meanwhile the British advance to
Pretoria has not begun. Small wonder
is it that muffled complaints and criti-
cisms are beginning to be heard here
and there against Lord Roberts. Two
thirds of his entire force have been
employed in effecting this small sat
isfaction. and the probability is that
the whole force must be again con-
c6ntrated on Bloemfontein before the
main advance begins. AS similar raids
on the British communications are
likely to be repeated it is evidently still
a far cry to Pretoria.

The man arrested was one of the most
prominent men in the town and was
the owner OF the best business blocks
in the place. The evidence against
him was conclusive but the jury re-
