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 COM
menced the work Of reorganization and
restoration.
The fire began its work Of destruction
at the power house of the Jersey City,
Hoboken & Paterson Traction Com
pany, which fronted on Broadway and
extended block to the rear Of Van
Houten street. 1t commenced in the
car shed and was burning tiercely when
one of the employees detected it, 1t
was leaping through the roof and the
gale was lifting it in forks and whirls
when the fire apparatus came into the
roadway at Van Houten and Main
streets. The firemen tried to hem the
blaze in, but 1t skipped across Van
Houten street In one direction and Main
street in another, and gaining vigor as
it went, burned unchecked down into
the business district Every piece of
fire mechanism in the city was called
out, but the fire and gale were masters.
The fire came at midnight and was
only checked after desperate fight
that lasted until late this afternoon.
Every city and town within reach of
Paterson sent fremen and apparatus
to the aid Of the city, and it took the
united efforts of them all to win the
battle. A northerly gale gave the con-
fiagration its impetus and carried its
burning brands to kindle the blaze
afresh at other points, The fremen
made stand after stand before the wall
of fire, but were repeatedly driven back
and when victory finally came to them
they were grimed and exhausted.

opened Japan. Among the dangers that
face Europe, he mentioned a possible

he said, it would fall TO the lot of the
United States to assist in saving Eu-

MlNDANAo GOVERNOR RESIGNS
Military Officers Would Not Recognize His
Authority.

Manila, Feb. 12.-The governor OF
the town of Cayagan, in the province OF
Misamis, island of Mindanao, has re-
signed, declaring that the military au-
thorities there do not recognize his au-
thority in refusing to receive his writs
of habeas corpus. Some months ago
many of the leading officials of Misamis
province were arrested because they
rendered a banquet to an insurgent colo
mel, and because it was proved that they
had also contributed funds to the in
surgent cause. At that time General
Davis, commanding at Zamboanga,
island of Mindanao, requested that the
province be transferred from civil to
military control. The military author
tiles in Misamis refused to allow the
prisoners to be represented by lawyer
sent by the civil commission from
Manila for that purpose, holding the
arrested officials as prisoners of war.
Lately General Chaffee instructed Gen.
eral Davis to release the prisoners in
question, and notified the civil author
tiles when and where they could arrest
them. But the fact that their offensf
was committed before the passage oI
the law of sedition makes further ac'
tion in the matter improbable, Gen.
eral Chaffee deeming it inadvisable
that civilians should be tried by a mil.
itary commission

ernor of Bataan province, fled after his

Groton, Mass, Feb. l0.-Theodore

it is too early to say what the chances
are for his recovery. This was the
statement issued'by George B, Cortel.
you, secretary to the president, at 8
O'Clock tonight, and it was made after
careful examination by DR.. Alexander
Lambert, the family physician of Pres.
ident Roosevelt, who arrived here from
New York a& 6 O'Clock tonight.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt spent a
long anxious day in the infrmary,
awaiting the crisis of the disease, which
this morning appeared to have taken
such strong hold of their son. The
change for the worse in the boys condi.
tion occurred during the night, and
showed itself when the regular morn
ing examination was made by DR.. Shat
tuck and DIR. Warren. Secretary Cor
telyou, who is the only means of COM
municating with the sick room, made
the announcement this morning OF the
patients serious condition, although he
said then it was not alarming.
"His temperature il higher" said
Mr.. Cortelyou, "and his respiration is
weaker than yesterday, but his pulse is
better" He also said there was no i'm
mediate danger; only the natural prog
ress Of the disease. He announced that
the disease had spread and involved
both lungs.
This sudden and untavorable turn
warned the president that the most
skillful medical treatment was neces-
sary, and tonight he called to the aid
of Drs, Shattuck and Warren his fam
lily physician, DR.. Alexander Lambert,
of New York, an eminent practitioner,
and man well acquainted with the
boys physique.
Groton, Mass, Feb. IL, 2:30 A. M.
The condition of Theodore Roosevelt,
Jr., at this hour is apparently very SER
ious, for lights can be seen in the in
firmary and nurses and doctors are NOV
ing around. For the last half hour the
voice of the boy calling for water could
be heard on the street. Nothing could
be obtained from the house, but it is
believed the patient is delirious.
Groton, Mass, Feb. IL, $3.50 A. NJ
The excitement in the infrmary has
subsided, and it is understood that the
patient is now resting easily. An hour
ago he complained of difficulty in
breathing, and the pain caused some
delirium. At this hour it is stated
that the patient is no worse than earlier
in the night.
