London. May ,. a. m.-The New-Zealand
Mounted Infantry achieved the honor of being
the first troops under General Roberts's COM
rnand to enter Brandfort. The Standard"
correspondent who sends this information, adds
that the foreign military attaches with the
Beers had previously left the place and in
deed the Federal troops seem have left
nothing behind them but a flag and some
wounded British prisoners. A Mail telegram
says the men OF the Irish-American commando
we're khaki clad. The mounted infantry took
them for British troops, the deception not be-
ing discovered until they had fired. General
Kitchener. well General Roberts, is at
Brandfort.
Cape Town telegram to The Express
says that General Roberts's plan is to operate
toward Bethlehem, and not TO touch Kroonstad.
The Boer peace delegates before leaving Bou-

Rotterdam en- route to America, gave an "Ex-

people. which is interesting for the reason that
il is the only utterance on the subject of their
visit which the delegates have addressed TO the
Government people OF this country. They
said they would make any concessions short of

VARNISH TANKS EXPLODE
STANDARD WORKS AT ELM PARK
WRECKED By 4 LIVELY BLAZE

The Standard Varnish Works at Elm Park
Staten Island, on fire early this morning,
and the plant for time threatened with
destruction. The varnish and materials escap-
ing from the great tanks as they blew up
flowed the yard and out upon the waters
OF Newark Bay and the Kill Won Kul The
flames from the oils leaped high into the air,
lighting the sky for miles around.
The flames broke out shortly before midnight.
There was explosion that shook buildings
for a radius of a mile. and then the flames
burst forth. 1t is believed there was an ex-
plosion Of the gases in one of the large tanks
The fire spread rapidly The engines from
Port Richmond and Mariners Harbor were soon
at the works, and a general alarm was sent IN,
calling all of the apparatus from the north
shore.
Within hour four of the big tanks had
blown up. Each contained five thousand gallons
of material
Across the Shore Road from the burning tanks
is the three story frame building of the Staten
Island Quartet Club. This the Aremen centred
upon and sought to save. Their efforts seemed
to be successful.
Fire tugs from the Standard Oil Works at
Bayonne were early at the fire, but they could
not approach the main blaze. and had to confine
themselves to efforts TO keep the burning 1lls
from floating down the Kills 20 points where
ships and boats were tied up.
The fire intensely hot, and 1t seemed at
times if the tugs lighting the flames out on
the water would catch fire. Time and again
the oils carried to the tug, which had to
turn their hose upon each other, in order to
save themselves. To have let the fire escape
down the Kills would have not only endangered
the docks and boats along the Staten Island
shore. but the flames might have been carried
across to the coal docks and oilworks in Bay
onne.
The tugs managed to hold the fire in check
upon the water while the firemen on shore
hon hQp pk from ha
of the great tanks blew up within an hour and a
half. Each explosion threw the burning
tents in every direction, and repeatedly endan-
gered the lives OF the firemen, and sent the fire
among the buildings
The flames upon the water communicated TO
and destroyed the docks and some OF tie smaller
buildings near the waters edge.
The fire will throw the entire force Of men
employed at the works out OF employment as
the burning of the material in the tanks means
6 shut down until the tanks can be rebuilt The
eighth tank blew up about / o'clock, and at that
hour the firemen hoped cOnfine the flames to
the oils and the main buildings Of the
plant.
