900 and 33,0O0,000. All but two house
buildings were burned down and per
haps 1000 persons, concessionaries
and employees, were turned into the
streets hopeless and penniless. No
lives we're lost.
The burned area represents nearly
Z third OF the entire amusement re-
sort, all Of which would undoubtedly
have gone in the teeth of a strong
wind but for the fact that Coney
Island. with high pressure water
system especially designed for fire
protection, is better guarded against a
disaster of this kind than any other
similar resort in the world.
Fire Starts at "HeII Gate"
The fire was discovered, small
blaze, In the tarred scaffolding OF
Hell Gate" a scenic railway, close
to the entrance to Dreamland. Tween.
ty minutes after frightened watch
man had turned in three alarms all
Dreamland, ten acres of gaudy, closely
packed buildings, was one blaze. The
flames, urged by strong wind, were
visible for nearly fifteen miles. Close
to Hell Gate" where the fire started,
was the "Bostock'' animal show and
nearer yet the infant incubator, q char
ity nursery in which were six wee in
fants and their attendants. The chill
dren were taken out in their little
glass houses and rushed out of danger
by the police.
Removing Animals Dangerous Task.
Then came the work Of taking out
the animals, q costly collection includ-
ing several dangerous man eaters. The
animals were in panic. Their roar
ing could be heard for many blocks,
above the cracking Of the flames and
throbbing Of the engines
The trainers lost no time. While
policemen with drawn revolvers stood
at the entrance to guard the crowd in
the streets against any beasts that
might escape the attendants drove
their charges from the cages through
the runway into emergency vans
which are always ready.
All went we'll until the transfer
was nearly concluded. Then the big
gest of the lions in panic. broke from

Big Lion Shot to Death.
A mounted policeman came at tn
crouching beast in the center OF tn
wide avenue with drawn revolver
Twice he shot and twice he missed
the lion backing away from the glar'
and noise of the explosion. Then si1
more mounted policemen lined up II
front of the crowd and opened fusil
lade. Backing away, and leaving {
trail Of blood of his wounds, the l1o1
made his way across the avenue into
the dark woods" of the Rocky RoaC
to Dublin" In a black corner beneath
painted scenery Of Africa he made MS
last stand Three final volleys were
required to finish him and he sank tc
the ground riddled like sieve. Tc
make sure that he was dead one OF the
policemen pulled down fire axe from
behind the scenery and knocked the
skull in two. AS soon as the crowd
was assured the lion was dead they
rushed in and literally tore the carcass
to bits for souvenirs. The first man
on the scene took the tasseled tail, the
next three divided the long name and
fifty men fought among themselves for
the honor of possessing one of its
teeth.
Meanwhile the escape of the big lion
had cut short the work OF the animal
men and the fire was already In the
menagerie before their work was com
pleted. Sixty of the los animals were
left to die in the fire.
Almost before the f1remen had THEFT
hose connected to the high pressure
49, Trno M
land tower. with its glare of hundreds
of thousands of electric bulbs, fell In
to the lake.
The fire coming at this time on the
eve of the first great summer holiday
assumes greater financial Importance
to the management than at almost any
other time during the summer
Practically all of the concessionaires
opened their doors last Saturday, just
week ago, and beginning today they
counted on practically four days OF
large crowds.
The cause of the fire will probably
never be definitely known. The firemer
had no information except that the
first blaze was in the Hell Gate
scenic railway, where workmen with
tar pals were smearing the causeways
to paint the scaffold against the
weather.
Insurance Only one-fifth.
It is supposed, of. course. that the
! fire had it's origin from the hot tar. 4
new $4,000 scenic railway, built by
Chicago investors, which was to have
been opened tomorrow, was among Tho
structures which were destroyed. M
H. Reynolds, a former senator. was the
principal owner of dreamland. Wher
notified Of the fire at his apartments
in the Hotel North Nassau, Lone
Branch, he said: 1--WE have been afrait
of this for seven years, and have beer
doing our best to ward it off. 1t is the
toughest piece Of news I ever heard
Dreamland Is worth $2,500,000 anc
there was less than 100000 insur
ance."
Coney Island has been swept more
or less by fire ever since 1t became
the great popular amusement place
The most disastrous blaze was one
which started in the Gave OF the
Winds" in Steeplechase park, July %
1907. This fire swept some thirty-fve
acres clean and caused loss of $1,000.

ed that Diaz would take the more lux
urious route, the bandits have not
molested it. For this reason it was
, chosen by the former president for
his trip.
General Diaz was still feeble from
his illness and far from being a well
man when he left his home.
A more dreary leave taking scarcely
could be imagined. Rain had fallen
earlier in the night and by the time
the former president emerged from his
house the air was chilly. He was
closely muffled and to aid in the dis
guise borrowed automobile was
used. The route to the San Lazaro
station had been mapped out over un-
frequented streets.
BY a prearranged scheme, at the
last moment, police were scattered
along the line. At certain points the
close friends of the former chief ex-
ecutive, including those who are to &C
company him across the Atlantic, fell
in behind his limousine.
Three Trains Used.
Three trains were used, the first act
ing as pilot. The Diaz special followed
and some time later third train, oc-
cupied by detachment of the TWEEN
ty-fifth infantry, set out.
The trains ran without orders to
prevent rebels along the line picking
up news from the wires. Just when
or on what snip Diaz will sail is mat
ter of conjecture. The French ship
Espagne was due to leave Vera Cruz
yesterday, but may have been held at
the disposal Of the party from Mexico
City.
A Spanish liner, the Manuel Calvo,
is scheduled to weigh anchor today,
sailing by way Of Havana to BARGE
Iona A German ship on which the
Diaz party recently reserved state
rooms, which reservations have not
been cancelled, sails next Wednesday.
General Diaz undoubtedly will make
lis home in Spain, probably at Madrid.
During the recent centennial King Al
fonso conferred title upon him and
made him an honorary general of the
Spanish army. Sonora Diaz was made
lady in waiting to the Spanish queen.
General Diaz speaks only Spanish, and
outsl-e of Mexico he would find the
most congenial surroundings in Spain.
