hospital
Reserves from the police stations
in the neighborhood; firemen, and
members of the salvage corps swarm
ed into the hospital building and af-
ter wrapping the helpless patients in
blankets and bed covering carried
which were promptly thrown open to
them. All were taken out in safety
although some were so desperately Ill
that the superior in charge expressed
the belief that they would die during
removal. SO soon as possible ambu-
lances were summoned and those
whose condition was most serious
were hurried to hospitals
The news that the hospital was
afire spread rapidly and caused al
most a panic in the neighborhood.
Persons who had friends in the insti
tuition rushed to the scene and the
police had their hands full keeping
the crowds in check Many weeping
women crushed against the ropes and
alternately begged permission to pen
citrate the fire lines and cursed the
police who held them back
The firemen finally got the blaze
under control although the factory
building, Keil's house and the hospital
were gutted. .F
The mother superior of the hospital
made arrangements for the transfer
of the children in her care to st.
Joseph's home at Avenue A. and
Eighty-ninth street and they were
conveyed there and given needed at
tention. They were none the worse
for their experience and will be kept
there until the Sisterhood can re-
open the hospital.

tions Sufficient to Last For
Several Days.

New Orleans, La, Jan. 2G.-The fol
lowing special cable dispatch was re-
ceived in this city early this morning
from a newspaper correspondent now
in Colon. The correspondent Is a
reliable man and the report is gener-
ally credited here:
"The United States cruiser Dixie
will leave for Santo Domingo with
100 marines under command of Col
onel Wood, who has instructions to
land his troops, prepared to uphold
the peace and dignity of the American
government on that island. Rush or
ders were received from Washington
by General Davis, military governor
of the canal zone, to send every avail
able marine to Santo Domingo, where
fighting has broken out in the streets
in opposition to the protocol recently
declared by the United States govern
ment. The marines were encamped
at Empire, midway between Colon and
Panama, and when orders were receiv-
ed ordering them to proceed to Colon,
considerable surprise was manifested
by the populace, and the men them
selves.
The troops we're equipped with full
rounds of ammunition and provided
with rations to last several days. Five
companies were rushed across the
isthmus and held in trains to embark
on board the Dixie which will leave
early Friday morning and should ar
rive at Santo Domingo next Sunday.
