TWELVE HOTELS BURNED.
Atlantic City Visited by n Fierce
ConfIagrntIOn

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., April A.
Twelve hotels and more than Il score
Of small buildings adjoining the board
walk which is built along the ocean
edge have been destroyed by a fire
which swept the beach front for two
long blocks from Illinois avenue to
New York avenue. The loss. it is be-
lieved will exceed S1,000,000 In this
respect the confagration is the most
disastrous that has ever visited this
city. The loss will be only partly COW
cred by insurance. as the rate of 3 per
cent charged by insurance companies
on property here is regarded as almost
prohibitive.
Fortunately no lives were sacrificed,
though probably Il dozen persons were
slightly injured and burned during the
progress of the fire. 1t was reported
early in the afternoon that six men had
perished in the flames, but the rumOr
was without foundation. The origin of
the fire is unknown, but is said to have
started In either Brady's baths or the
Tarleton, which adioins the baths at
Illinois avenue and the board walk.

BRITISH CRUELTY CHARGED.
General Delarey Alleges Ill Treat
ment of BOer Women.


ment of BOer Women
AMSTERDAM, April S.-General De-
larey in message to President Kruger
accuses the British soldiers of placing
Boer women as screen against his at
tacks.
He charges that a number of Boer
women have been killed. His own wife,
he asserts, was prosecuted by General
Methuen, whom he defeated and cap
tured on March Z last. She is now wan
dering somewhere about the veldt with
her six children. His mother, he says,
has been driven from Klerksdorp after
being robbed of her cattle.
General Delarey mentions many spe-
cific cases of women and prisoners who
were murdered.
General Delarey sends the atfidavits
of Ignatius Ferreira, acting secretary
of state, and Attorney Lichtenburg in
support of the charges.

SOFT COAL TROUBLES
Grievances Of Miners Before
Executive Board of Union.
WEST VIRGINIA SITUATION OMINOUS
Action of the Conference Kept n
secret. but II Is Quite Likely
That n strike VIII lie
Ordered.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 9.-The trou-
BILE in the block coalfelds of this state,
where 1900 men are on strike has been
called TO the attention of the national
executive board OF the United Mine
Workers association, and the afternoon
was spent in going over the situation
there.
Negotiations have not been entirely
broken off 1t is understood, to effect Il
reconciliation before the national board
takes any action.
1t was decided to appoint n commit
tee OF two Of the board members to act
in concert with the district officers to
arrange a settlement Of the difficulty
with the operators.
In case the operators do not yield to
the demands of the men it is likely the
strikers will be upheld and prepara-
tions made to wage a vigorous fight.
The West Virginia situation was TAX
en- up, although it had been set as a
special order for today. The district
president and several local officers of
the field arrived yesterday and were
heard. The utmost secrecy was main
tained in regard to what action was
taken, but it would not be surprising
if a strike order is issued within few
days.
The miners, it is well known, have
for two years tried hard to organize the
district and force the operators to rec
Ognize the union. Their efforts have
been resisted by the officers of the min

fused to treat with the union.
An order to strike would affect be-
tween 10000 and 25,000 men, it is said.
The situation in the anthracite field
has not yet been taken up.

its enactment at this late date will

he has made careful canvass and he
