Flames Threaten to Destroy Val
liable Art Gallery, but Are Elk
tinguished With Small Loss.
DAUGHTER TURNS in ALARM.
Blaze Originates in Basement
Supposed Cause Il Defect in
Electric Wires Which
Touched Metal.

Fire Interrupted a fashionable dinner
party at the residence of John W. kauff-
mann. Linden boulevard and Kings high
way, shortly after 9 O'clock last night.
Miss Violet Kaufman ran to the fire
alarm box at the corner of the street and
turned in the alarm.
The engines responded. but, due to some
error, went to Hortense place. The guests
at the dinner party ran to the firemen and
told them where the fire was.
By this time the flames were eating
their way from the basement, where they
originated, up into the art gallery. where
Mr.. Kaufman has many priceless mas
terpieces. After considerable trouble the
flames were ~extinguished, but not before
damage amountingfi to several hundred
dollars resulted.
It is supposed that the fire was caused
by some of the electric wires becoming
exposed and coming in contact with
metal.
The guests had just arisen from dinner
when the servants detected smoke and in
formed Mr.. Kaufman. He at once sum-
moned all of the servants md a search
was instituted.
Volumes of smoke streamed through
the floor and I'D the radiators in the art
gallery and it was finally ascertained
the flames were located III the basement,
under the gallery.
BY this time. Miss Kaufman had sum-
moned the fire engines, and the f!ameS
were soon e~Xtinguished.

END OF FORMER PRESIDENT
KRUGER IS NOT FAR OFF.
Grand Old Man of Boer Republic
Lives in Retirement at MOn-
ton. France.

General Ben ]. Viljoen. one of the lead
ers of the Boer War. who Is now in the
city connected with the Worlds Fair. re
ceived a letter yesterday from a member
Of President K%rueger's household at Mon
ton, France. in which the writer states
that the Grand Old Man" of the former
South African Republic is very poor in
health. and that the end is not far OFF.
TIT letter states that he lives in almost
entire seclusion and seldom converses with
anyone. His tone is sad and pathetic and
the sentences disconnected. Some of his
compatriots recently applied, unsuccess-
fully. to the British Government for per-
mission for his return to South Africa to
spend his last days in his native country.
The ex-President is now 81 years old.
A the commencement of the Boer War
he was still in perfect health and sound
of intellect" said General Vi.joen, but it
seems the SCATTERING of his ambition to
retain the liberty of his country and the
loss Of his wife and youngest son have
left an unbeatable wound in his heart"
Doctor ReItz. who was State Secretary
of the former Boer Republic. is also an
exile and living with his family in Hol-
land. The same letter. the General says.
contains the fact that Mr.. Reitz is suf-
fering from nervous prostration and a
constant invalid.

Chairman Cooper of Insular Com
mittee VIII Introduce Bill in
House This Week.
FAVORED BY ADMINISTRATION.
Bill VIII Authorize Philippine
Government to Execute Il
Guarantee of 4 Per Cent on
S40,O00,0 900 of Bonds.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Legislation au'
thorizing the Philippines Government &c
execute a guarantee of 4 per cent per an
mum on $40. oGo. 900 of bonds for railroad
construction in those islands. is to be
introduced in the House next week by
Chairman Cooper Of the House Committee
on Insular Affairs.
This legislation will have the support
of the administration through Secretary
Taft, whose conviction tina railroads are
the next most essential step in the de-
velopment of the Philippine Islands has
been mad known to the Committee on
1nsrlar Affairs
Secretary Taft. Chairman Cooper and
Colonel C. A. Edwards. Chief of the In
sular Bureau of the War Department,
were in consultation to-day at the War
Department. and later at the Capitol.
LEGISLATION SIMPLE.
While the text of the proposed legisla-
ton has not been prepared, its verbiage
Will be most simple and contain the au-
thorization to the Philippine Government
TO issue the guarantee on the capital to
be invested in railroad building.
a restriction will be placed in the legis-
lation limiting the guarantee to American
or t1ilplno capital.
TIL first roads to be built will be in the
Island of Luzon. SOM sections of this
island. according to the belief of Secre-
tary Taft, will yield 4 per cent from the
beginning.
Other sections where railroads would
lead to great industrial development will
not earn this amount on the investment.
At h most. however. it is estimated
that the Government guarantee will be
needed for only a limited number OF
years.
SAFEGUARDS.
The strictest kind Of safeguards are to
be embodied in the legislation locking to
an absolute accounting to Government
representatives.
The plan, as at first outlined, provided
Tor a 3-per-cent guarantee on a total in
vcstment of $4,000 ~ Upon further con-
s!deration of the matter. it was deemed
advisable to reduce the total amount to
~Si0.e".OCo, and raise the guarantee 20 4
per cent. Should the total amount of the
guarantee be called for, 1t would mean 4
total yearly expenditure OF 81, $780, 900.
1t is predicted that telegraph lines will
follow the railroad, newspapers will be
established along its lines. and the educa-
iional, social and industrial development
OF the Islands will be accomplished faster
ard more surely than in any other man
ler.

FOREIGN COUNTRIES INTERESTED.
BelE1nn, France and Spain Concern
ed in Dominican Affairs.

SPECIAL.
Washington. Feb. 2I.-The diplomatic
representatives of Belgium, France and
Spain in Washington are interested In the
probable action this Government will take
in regard to Santo Domingo. These three
countries are large holders of Dominican
bonds. Belgium particularly holding sew
eral millions.
. one plan which has met with favor
among the diplomats interested is the
establishment of a Mixed Claims Commits
