Swept by Fire.

Ottawa, Ont, April 27.-The twin
cities of Ottawa and Hull were de-
vastated yesterday by the greatest fire
tlat has ever been known in Canada.
Many millions of dollars worth OF
machinery, buildings, and goods were
swept away; 10000 to $1,000 people
were rendered homeless, and not half o
million of insurance exists. The fire
broke out yesterday morning shortly
before noon in Hull, ths chimney of q
Iaboring mans cottage being the cause.
Hull Is, or was, wooden town. In IL
brick or stone building was 80 unusual
as to be remarkable. On two sides of
It stood acres Of great piles of lumber.
The fat on which 1t lies is dominated
oy the cliff on which stands the Domin-
ion parliament buildings and from that
cliff stood out the court house, the city
nall, the Roman Catholic cathedral,
and two or three Catholic churches.
All OF these latter buildings were OF
stone. Today not one OF them stands.
The flames seized them and with them
weUt 800 houses and stores 10 Hull.
Ia addition TO this the FIRE leaped the
Ottawa river, which is full of islands,
and swept away 10 the western end OF
the city of Ottawa hundreds of dwell
ings and shops. while The neighboripg
villages OF Hintonburg, Mechanicsville
Eddysville and BRIGHTON were wiped
completely off the map.
So far as known six persons have lost
their lives and several others are miss
ing. With perhaps tan thousand per-
sous homeless and half of them frantic
it is possible that the fatality list msy
yet be considerably larger.
The area destroyed in Ottawa ranges
over ga streets, the number OF dwell
ings, stores, etc. burned being 2,026.
Ottawa, Ont, April N.-Noon. The
FIRE is still burning but it will do no
further damage. A belt over two miles
from north to south, and from q quar-
ter to half mile wide is swept bare of
everything but walls and chmneys and
during the night the fire simply burned
itself out in this belt.
This area OF Ottawa comprised
probably 5000 people who are home.
iess. Ia addition one half of Hull is
gone and probably 5000 more are
homeless there. The great majority
are poor people. Outside of the greet
mills and the public buildings Of Hull
the grester part of the districts burned
were OF the poorer class.
Belief funds are being started in the city
ard large numbers of subscriptions are being
made and also arrangements to shelter ana
feed The distressed. Seven dead or missing
are reported 80 far.
Edinburgh, April 27,-There Is much
alarm among Scotch insurance companies st
the extensive property loss resulting from the
Ottawa fire. AL the companies are heavily
involved.

The Situation i'm outh Africa

London, April N.-AlthOugh there
is still o chance of Roberts capturing
some of the Beers rerreating from WEEP
ener and Do Vets dorp, is is admitted
that the object OF the movement 10 the
eastern Free State; namely, of envelop'
ing Dewet's and DIVERS commandos,
has failed. 1t is believed the etreat-
ing Beers are making for W.nburg or
some other rsllying point northeast OF
Bloemfontein. 1t is likely that Rob
erts will soon report a sharp engage
ment between Hamilton and French
and the Boer rear guard.
A dispatch from Lorenzo Marquee
places the latest estimate of the Boer
forces at 10000, divided as follows:
1900 at KrooDstadt, 5000 10 Nstal,
5000 at Fourteen Streams, 700 al
Mafeking and several scattered COM
mandos.
The final plan of csmraign for the
Beers, the dispatch says, consists ic
putting 1000 men 10 Pretoria, which Is
regarded pufficien to make the capture
of the capital impossible, and using the
rest OF the army in guerilla warfare.
