THE B0ER DELEGATION.


Washington May lit can be
stated that the persons composing
the Boer delegation who are about to
sail from Europe for the United
States this week will not be denied
access TO the secretary of state when
they reach Washington. They will
be received as individuals, just as was
Mr.. Montagu White, but with the dis
tlnct understanding that they are not
recognized officially as Boer dele
CATION. In other words, Secretary
hay will treat them exactly as he
would treat any distinguished visitor
from abroad without regard to ma
tionaliiy, but will not admit their
competence TO enter into any negos
tiations with the state department.
1t is believed that the prospective
visitors thoroughly understand the
conditions under which they will be
received and that instead of directing
their efforts upon the government In
Washington they will rather seek to
influence 1t through the American
people by means Of an active Boer
propaganda.

Estimated Loss, &2O,00O,OOO.

Ottawa, Ont, April 27.-Five square
miles of territory burned over; more
than $500 dwellings, factories, mills,
stores and other buildings destroyed,
entailing loss estimated to reach
$20,0O0,0O0, and between 10000 and
10000 men, women and children
homeless, is summing up of the
havoc wrought by the fire which has
been raging at Hull and in Ottawa
since II o'clock yesterday morning
and at midnight was not completely
under control.
Most of the lumber piles in Ottawa
and Hull have disappeared and are
now mere heaps of charred wood and
ashes. Half u dozen churches and
schools, a number of mills, the Hull
water works, the Hull courthouse
and Jail, the post Office, the convent,
almost every business place, and
about 1000 dwellings and shops in
Hull have been destroyed. Indeed,
practically nothing of Hull is left but
a church and n few houses beyond it.
The spot where the fire originated
Is about a quarter of mile from the
main street of Hull, and as n gale was
blowing from the northwest, right
in the direction of the lumber piles
and mills on both the Hull and OlB,-
wa shores of the Ottawa river and
Chaudiere falls, ii was soon seen that
the fire was almost certain to be a
large one. BY 1880 the fire had got
good hold of Main street, and the
entire street, with dozens of cross
streets, was burned Practically,
there is not a house lett in the street.
