By that time all who escaped death had got out of the building by jumping from the windows, or climbing down ropes made of bedclothes. A few es- capped from the ground floor through . the front door Some of the escapes were very narrow. Almost everybody who got out suffered some injury or was frostbitten. The guests barely had time to get out when aroused. the James had spread so rapidly. Some saved their clothing, which they carried n their hands but others were not so lortunate, losing everything

GEN. DE WET BADLY ROUTED
BUT ESCAPES COMBINED MOYE-
 MENT FOB HIS CAPTURE.
A Desperate and Successful Exploit When His Fall Seemed dImminent-Hts Losses Severe Consist of@S3 in Killed, Wounded and Prisoners, 700 Horses and Many Cattle.

London, Feb. 9.--F'rom Wolvehoel
 Lord Kitchener has to-day Autographed
 long description of 8 combined move.
 ment of numerous British columns Witf
 the object of securing General De Wet
 Lord Kitchener says:
 'The advance began on the night of
 February 5, the whole force moving
 from various directions and forming a
 continuous line of mounted men on the
 west bank of the Liebenbergs Wei from l Frankfort as far south as Fanny S | Home, and thence to Kaffirkop. The l line then advanced to the west, and the following night the British entrenched
 with their outposts fifty yards apart. They held the line from Holland on the
 Heilbron- Frankfort blockhouse line to Doornklof on the Kroonstadt-Lindley blockhouse line, while the columns were also working in advance of the block house lines to prevent De Vets cross ing.
 "The advance was continued Febru- ary and De Wet was within the in- closure, but, realizing his position, he ordered his men to disperse and seek safety during the night. De Wet him self, with some men and number of cattle, made for the Kroonstadt- Lind ley blockhouse line, and at l o'clock in the morning, when it was very dark, by rushing bis cattle at the fence broke his way through the line, mixing up with the cattle and losing three men killed.
 Many attempts were made to break through the line on the night of Febru- ary = further reports Lord Kitchener, "the line of outposts being attacked at various places. But very few escaped, and ten dead Boers were picked up in the morning near Heilbron.
 s'I did not get exact details of the Boer casualties, continues Lord Kitch- ener, but as far as I have ascertained they consist of 2S3 in killed, wounded and prisoners, as well as about 700 tired 1 horses and many cattle.
 Our casualties were only ten"
 Lord Kitchener's great plan, which | he has been elaborating for months l past, failed by the escape of De Wet, | but was successful in the greatest sin | gle capture of Boers since Lord Kitch- | ener arrived in South Africa.
 Altogether, twenty three columns | were employed in an immense irregular formed by the lines of and the railroads between | Frankfort, Lindley and | ISroonstadt. It is estimated that De Vets forces amounted roughly speak rg to 1000 men. Lord Kitchener per ;onally superintended the final prepara- ions for the expedition and the great move was made over a front of forty niles, the advance extending sixty niles, with the object of driving the 3oers against the railroad line, where trains were patrolling and were repeatedly in action, shellng the 3oers to prevent their crossing the rail- oad. De Wet succeeded in slipping trough the lines to the southward. The of MT. Steyn is unknown, hough one report says he is with De Vet.

PRESIDENT R0osEVELT HERE.
Passed Through New Haven on Special
 Train Yesterday

President Roosevelt passed through New Haven on a special train about 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon on his way to Groton, Mass, where his son, Theo- dore Roosevelt, ir,, is ill at the prepara- tory school in that place. The presi- dent was expected to go through here on the Federal express Saturday night, but instead of doing so went on a spe- cial train. The train consisted of only the engine and the presidents private car, and stopped here only about five minutes, just long enough to change engines.
 Few persons knew that he was to pass through New Haven and conse- quently there were not many people at the depot A crowd of twenty-five OF thirty persons, mostly all railroad em- ployes, gathered about the car, and just as the train left President Roosevelt stepped out on the rear platform and. lifting his hat, bowed to the crowd.

NEW HAVENERS INTER ESTED
in the Big Fire Which Ragged In Pater-
 son Nesterday.

There was considerable interest in
 New Haven last night in the big fire in Paterson, N. J., and many inquiries con- cerning it were made at the Journal and Courier office by New Haven peo- pie who have relatives or friends in business there, One of the business places destroyed by the fire was the large millinery store of M. l.. Rogow- ski, a brother of the late MT. Rogow- ski, founder of the Rogowski millinery store on Chapel street, this. city. Mrs. RogoWski, wife of the Paterson mer- chant whose place was destroyed, is a daughter of s. Calm, of New Haven, formerly a well known clothier on State street. MT Calm and his family were deeply interested in news of the fire last night. At last accounts it was thought that MT. Roeowski's residence had escaped damage from the fire.
 '. B. Bradley, the well known cabinet manufacturer and tyler of Hiram lodge, was another interested New Havener. MT. Bradley's son-in-law, Mir Baldwin, who was formerly for years city treas urer of Paterson and is now state bank examiner in New Jersey, lives in Pat erson but his residence is not in the district where the fire ragged.
 Herbert Mason, secretary of the Se- curity Insurance company of this city said last night concerning his compa- ny's loss by the fire: ''The Security Insurance company of this city with drew their agency from Paterson over a year ago and their losses in this fire will not exceed $2,5o0 at most"

HENDOO JWINS SEPAR1TED.
Operation on Them in Paris-yV ere
 United Like Sismese Twins

United Like Siemese Twins.
 Paris, Feb 9.-The Hindoo twins Ra- dioa and Dordica, who were united in a manner similar to the Siamese twins, who were exhibited throughout the world, were separated this afternoon by Dr. Doyon. The operation lasted twenty minutes and was entirely suc- cessful, But owing to the weak condi- ton of the patients, due to the illness of one of the twins, who has been suf- fering from thrush, the final result of the operation is still doubtful. The membrane connecting the twins con tained three large arteries, and the pa- tients lost between one and two ounces of blood The only complaint they made was that they felt pain in the nem- brane. They were very weak and had some fever. It was reported at ten o'clock that both were sleeping quietly.

Paterson, N J., Feb. 9.--A great fire
 swept through Paterson to-day, and in
 it's desolate wake are the embers and
 ashes of property valued in prelimi-
 nary estimate at 100000 000 It burned
 it's way through the business section of the city and claimed as it's own ma jority of the finer structures devoted to commercial, civic, educationa and re- ligious use. as we'll as scores of other houses There was but small tribute of life and injury to the conflagration, but hundreds were left homeless and thousands without employment. A re- lief movement for the care of those un- sheltered and unprovided for has all ready been organized, and Mayor John HenchcIiff said tonight that Paterson would be able to care for her own with out appealing to the charity of other communities and states.
 The great manufacturing plants of the place are safe, and the community temporarily dazed by the calamity has already commenced the work of reor- ganization and restoration.
 The fire came just after midnight and was only checked after desperate fight that lasted until late this after noon. Every city and town within reach of Paterson sent firemen and ap- paratus to the relief of the threatened city, and it took the united efforts of them all to win the battle.
 A northerly gale gave the conf1agra- ton its impetus and carried it's burning brands to kindle the blaze afresh at other points. The fremen made stand after stand before the wall of fire but l were repeatedly driven back, and when victory finally came to them they were grmed and exhausted.
