JAPANESE CUT CABLE.
Would Prevent News of Operations
Reaching Russians.

Would Prevent News Of Operations
Reaching Russians.
Paris, Feb. 9.-The French foreign
Office has been advised that the Jap
anese have cut the cable connecting
Japan and Korea. The object of this
action is believed to be to prevent
news of the operations of the Japanese
reaching the Russians, which was pos
sible no matter how closely censored
the dispatches sent might be.
Following the breaking off of rela-
tons between Russia and Japan the
cutting of the cable is regarded here
as significant of the purpose of the
Japanese to begin hostilities.
It is learned that among the troops
sent by Russia to the vicinity of the
Yalu river are $4,000 Cossacks, whose
province it is to destroy the commune
cations of any Japanese army landing
along the coast or trying to strike the
Port Arthur railroad. The French
military experts consider this a good
tactical move. for the reason that the
Japanese have only a small cavalry
force, insufficient to cope with that of
the Russians

by the best fighting forces which more

Throughout the terrible contest in
which firemen and fire waged for SUI
premacy, humanity was handicapped
by gale which carried burning brands
over the heads of the workers and be-
yond the reach of the hundreds of
streams of water poured into the rag

volunteers in seeking out and ex-

Said to Have Precipitated the Crisis
in the Far East.
London, Feb. 9.-In a dispatch dated
Nagasaki, Saturday, Feb. 6, and which
was delayed by the censor, a CORE
spondent. of the Daily Telegraph as
serts that Russia deliberately precipi-
tated the crisis by secretly dispatch
ing few days ago from Port Arthur
transports loaded with full division
of troops and escorted by a fleet and
landing them near the Yalu river, thus
occupying Northern Korea.
Japanese patience became exhaust
ed and today Japan moved her ships
and took unresisted possession of
some merchant vessels, including the
Shika and Manchuria," the CORE
spondent continues. "T wo other Rus
sian vessels were seized and escorted
to Saseho, Japan"
The censor suppressed the location
Of the seizures.
In a dispatch from Nagasaki cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph
says:
1T is assured that the Russian fleet
will fight. The Russians long ago de-
cided upon war and their delay was
due to lack Of preparation and uncer-
tainty whether certain powers would
intervene or not"

NOT A SINGLE LIFE LOST
AND NOBODY BADLY HURT

Not a single life has been lost and
not a human being has been even
dangerously injured. The hospital
lists consist of minor burns with the
exception of Jacob Englefritz, a fire.
man from York, Pa. He has a frac-
tured leg and is badly burned. It is
doubtful if history shows catastrophe
in which so tremendous money loss
was accompanied by so slight human
sacrifice.
So far there has been no call for
aid Proffers of assistance have come
from many quarters, from sister cities,
from corporations and from private
citizens, but Baltimore cannot now
say whether or not it will be needed
or accepted. That will be decided
soon. '..;t.I Esf.&

PROPERTY LOSS PLACED
ABOVE HUNDRED MILLIONS

Insurance companies have opened
temporary offices in the Lexington no.
tel, but their representatives decline
to estimate the loss. The answer of
one is typical of all:
"1t's too big. We have not figures
to describe it. Make it above $780,
100000. That's the best we can do. "
The same indecision was true in re-
gard to estimates concerning insur-
ance.
The city was early placed under
martial law and thus all danger of
looting in the doomed district was
eliminated. Word has been received
that General Corbin of New York will
soon be here to take command of the
federal troops. The presence of two
regiments of militia as an adjunct to
the police, which were augmented by
details from Philadelphia and Wash
ington, resulted in the maintenance of
the best of order.
No one dares to guess what would
have happened had the flames jumped
the falls. The struggle Monday was
with the one end of confining the fire
to the west side of the muddy stream.
That this effort was successful is
merely the result Of the fire burning
itself out and concerted labors Of
nearly 100 fire companies, aided by
the powerful fire tug, The Cataract.

BUILDINGS DYNAMITED TO
STOP PROGRESS OF FLAMES

Dynamite explosions were constant
Monday. The programme adopted Sun
day of blowing up buildings in an at
tempt to stay the progress of the
flames was continued until the fire
was under control Then the dyna-
miters turned their attention to razing
tottering walls which threatened to
collapse. The result was almost con-
slant cannonading and the decorating
was heard in all parts of the city.
With the fire under control the
blackened waste which lies in the
wake of the sea of flames presents a
view, terrible in it's pyrotechnic gran
deur. Where the fire has died out
nothing remains but waste, from
which rise hundreds of towering and
insecure shafts. These are all that is
left of what were once handsome Of
fee buildings, storage, wholesale and
business houses of all kinds. The
loss will not be accurately estimated
for weeks.
Stew persons explored fully, even
such portions of the burned district
as the cooling ruins would permit. The
high winds made it utterly impossible
for anyone to pass through the
streets bordered by crumbling walls
without grave danger to personal safe
ty. Tangled masses of wires cross
and recross the streets and these were
dashed so furiously by the wind that
they could have proved no more dan
gerous had they been alive.

DIVORCE AND THE WAR
The Effects of The Present I'm
pleasantness Between Japan
And Russia.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 14-Most Of
the provincial authorities directing the
distribution of aIimony TO the fami-
lies of men serving in the war have
decided TO regulate the positions Of the
large number Of households where
there is no legal marriage owing TO
the Russian Orthodox Church refusing
70 perform the ceremony unless both
PARTIES are of that communion, and 70
there being no civil marriage in Rus
STA
In place Of the marriage certificate
the Zemtsvos are accepting a written
declaration announcing the parties
bound to each other, and prepared 70
proceed TO full marriage as soon as
the law permits. The step was found
necessary, as many families physically
resisted the taking of their men TO
the war until their claim to support
was recognized.
Many Jews who have been taken to
the war have consented TO divorce ON
the understanding of re-marriaee
should they return. Their marriage
law in Russia refuses TO recognize q
widow as such unless the death GER
tificate of her husband is signed by
two eye. witnesses of his death. Their
abbis refuse to accept the military re-
turns where merely the fact OF death
IN battle or hospital is stated. As in
the great battles many hundreds are
killed whose bodies are not recovered,
their widows, if they are Jews, can
not re.marry. Their authorities now
sanction the temporary divorce.
