'. 1 GERMANY SAID "NO" Was America's Friend During Spanish War. STATEMENTIN OFFICIAL PAPER Reply liy niisl.iml Will Undoubtedly Mvnn rnliHentlon of UociimcuN ItvlntlttK to rroiMiMnl of I'nun- cofote for Collective Xotc. BERLIN. Feb. 10. The official North Geramn Gazette thte evening joins In the c-ntmwcrsy regarding the attitude of the vera! jtowers pre-ious to the outbreak of the Spanish-American "War. It sa 2rd Pancfote'K proposal April 14, 1S!S. to pend collective note to the Govern ment of the United State?, declaring American Intervention In Cuba to be un justiltaulc. Is a historical fact, and the Gazette proceed to characterize as ab ,F!'r! the "attempt now being made to ob jure find dispute an event which did not o fur in the presence of the representa tives: of only two powers, but on which tl e representatives of all the powers at Washington, after reaching an agreement. reported to their respective governments, April 14. 1S83. simultaneously and iden tically." The German official declaration in the North German Gazette Is a direct conse quence of the incredulity expressed by Anvrlcan and English newspapers re garding the disclosures from here of the anion of Lord Pauncefote of April 14, l$s f this declaration is rep'led to by Gnat Prltain. the documents relating to the matter v.-lll undoubtedly be published. In ofltcal circles here it is deemed bt"-t - wait and sec how the statement pub llsh"d this evening In the North German Gazette is received. The correspondent of the Associated Fress learns that transcript of the dls Iitch from Von Tlolkbrn, the German Air.bs.sador t Washington, communi cating the proposal of Lord Pauncefote, w.v snt to Emperor William immediately n':r its receipt, and that the Emperor announced his fiat refusal on rpc margin. The correspondent added: "Put for the action of Empror William Lord Fauncr--fHe"s proposal would have been adopted In- the otnor powers." The German Gov ernment considers that, although Its atti tude fe no more than correct, it Is quite u:iv, llHr.g that its course should be mis understood. TO ATOXK FOH .WCESTORS' POLICY. rCfjvcllt Jlarrny VTrniti Ingrlnnd to Erect n Stutne to V.'nnlilxiprton. LONDON. Feb. 10 David Chrltle Mur rav. the novelist and playwright, has writ ten a letter to the Daily Chronicle with t ferrnce to the Anglo-American commlt fe which was inaucurated under the presidency of the Duke of Sutherland rt Stafford House a couple of years ago. to promote an entente cordiale, but which Las since remained dormant and Is now sending circlars to its members, asking tem to assist in a platform propaganda. J'r Murray thinks this is unnecessary, a it is needless to convert the converted; out he suggests that the committee take imans to erect, by British MJbscrjptions and on Brltleh soil, a statue or other stately memorial to George Washington, as a "National recognition of the Justice or the caue in which he fought, and a 1'ral.slgn of our amity with the Ameri can people. We owe it to ourselves, by a 'I the moans open to a brave and hon ccahle race, to repair and atone for the fully of our ancestors." Til OOPS IX A STATK OF MUTINY.

The news received here from the Brussels sugar conference that Great Britain Intends imposing a countervailing duty on sugar against bounty-paying countries has alarmed the German and Austrian sugar manufactur es. The delegates of both countries met here yesterday and discussed the action to bo taken.

Great Imperial Array Contemplntccl. NEW YORK. Feb. 10. The Government Is understood to be contemplating the de sirability of raising an imperial army of considerable dimensions, says a dispatch to the Tribune from London. The idea is not a novel one. but It always hitherto has been regarded by military people here as impracticable. The War Office com mittee is now. however, said to be seri ously considering a system for the con sideration of an Imperial army by colonial ad instead of leaving the young nations of the empire to support only sufficient Irrgular soldiers for local defense. There undoubtedly are a great many difficulties in the way. but If It were possible to carry out such a project the ties which bind the mother country and the colonies would be drawn tight, Indeed.

PATERSOiN NEEDS NO AID ?S,000,000 XOW GIVEX AS LOSS BY GREAT FIRE. Xuinber of Injnred la O.T Majority of Those Burned Out Will Rebuild. PATERSON. N. J., Feb. 10. The fierce conflagration which burned its way through the business center of Paterson yesterday has completely spent its force, and Is quickly dying out In the ashes and broken brick of Its ruin. The firemen who hurried from other cities to save the en dangered city have gone back to their homes, and several companies of the local department have been ordered to their houses for the rest and refreshment they so sorely need. A feeling of confidence in the future prevails In the minds of the citizens of Paterson tonight. Mayor HInchclIffe has the situation well in hand, and to an of fer of assistance which came from Mayor Low. of New York, an answer was re- Voe.a j LATEST PICTURE OF MRS. ROOSEVELT AND "TEDDY, JR." ' ! i i., , " , , ' ' i 1i it Mi Hi t ill I Hint lTlT ' I i i LATEST PICTURE OF MRS. ROOSEVELT AND "TEDDY, JR." turned containing thanks nnd tho as surance that Paterson Is managing to care for those in need. Conservative opinion Inclined today to cut $2,000,000 from the aggregate loss of ?10.O,'X,0'j0 agreed upon yesterday, and ?S, O00.OCO probably will be accepted finally as the actual cost of the fire. No tabula tion of Individual losses that can be ac cepted as reliable has yet been made, and it will be several days before satisfactory figures can be prepared. Equally incom plete If the estimate of insurance. It was stated here today that the amount of insurance was between ?4.000,000 and $5,000, 00), but what gave basis to the calcula tion was not clear. Several of the larg est losers said they had not yet had an op portunity to examine their policies, and that meantime they could not tell what amount they carried. Money and securities said to amount to $3,003,000 were recovered from the two huge vaults under tho ruins of the First National Bank this afternoon. Books, papers, bullion and paper money were found uninjured., Burled beneath the ruins of the City Hall were found the safes which belonged to the Controller office, and also the papers, legal docu ments and public records were found un harmed. The greatest tangle In city affairs will be in the tax office. So far as can he ascertained, the records of the depart ment are destroyed. There Is a set of books which shows the valuation, etc., of each piece of properly in the city, and the Assessors have their field books, frevn which all this could be duplicated without overmuch work. It Is said, however, that It Ls almost certain the records showing who paid their taxes, and who had not. are destroyed, and that there Is not in existence anything from which the Infor mation could be obtained. Worlc of Clearing: I'p Xot Yet Reitnn. The iork of clearing up the burned dis trict has not begun, but the firemen were busy until night with ropes and dynamite tearing down the shaky walls that endan gered those who had to be inside the burned area. So well did this work pro gress that in the afternoon the public was admitted to the ruins, and sentries were posted at every important point, keeping the crowd moving briskly. Thou-j-ands passed about the choked-up streets and viewed the ruins during the two hours and a half allowed them. At the expira tion of the time the sentries In tho center of the section began moving outward and gathering up the extra men at each step, and soon had the entire section cleared. Probably no fire ol equal magnitude and T.-idesj.read destructivenoss ever produced an equally small casualty list. Dozens of firemen and the volunteers who labored with them were slightly Injured by falling b;icks and timbers, burned by flying tire brands or temporarily overcome by smoke, but only a few of them needed surgical or medical attention. The small casualty list is explained by the fact that the peo ple had ample warning and time to aban don their homes before the flames came upon them. . There was comparatively little suffering on the part of those rendered homeless by the fire, and the armory, churches and public shelters opened their doors to but few applicants during the night. Prac tically every home that escaped the aflmes was thrown open, and nearly every refu gee found shelter at the home of some friend. The declaration of Mayor Hltchcllffe j that the city can care for its own Is not concurred in by everybody, ana tncre may be an appeal later for outside help. Those who are organizing a plan of relief will soon be able to reach a decision of the question of asking aid from other com munities. Mont of Lo-erH Will Start Afrcnh. With the embers still aglow In the busi ness district, commercial Paterson planned resumption and restoration. All of the banks burned out yesterday opened for business in temporary quarters today, and the officials of the banks expressed a determination to do their part In the malntenanco of the financial standing and credit of the city. The Hamilton Trust Company announced that it would, as soon as the ruins of Its building became cool enough, begin the erection of a new bank building to cost 520O.O00. All of the banks and trust com panies announced that their safes and vaults had proved strong enough to pre serve -the securities, moneys and records locked In them at tlje close of business on Saturday. Many of those whose business places and homes were destroyed were ruined financially. and must give up, but the majority will be able to start afresh. They are cour ageous and confident. The underwriters and adjusters representing the insurance companies that held thousands of riskc af fected by the fire are hurrying here and negotiating for the adjustment of the losses. The militiamen Temained on duty today, and will be kept under arms and on duty as long as necessary. Much valuable property Is still exposed, and the authori ties are determined to prevent looting and disorder In any form. Saloons that attempted to open after midnight were promptly closed, and the sale of liquor prohibited until after daylight. The holi day crowds of yesterday had dispersed and the city was very quiet and orderly to day. Fifteen hundred public school children and several hundred more who attended St Mary's Parochial School found themselves on enforced va cation today, but by the end of the week they all will be back at their desks. The High School pupils will divide the quarters of the Normal School, with ha!f-dayses-slons at the start. A bread and coffee famine was averted by outside aid. A Newark Bread Company early this morn ing started wagons loaded with 3000 loaves of bread for free distribution in the stricken city. Injured Xumber Sixty-three. In the hospitals are C3 persons injured in the long fight against the flames. Two deaths were due to the calamity. One was that of an old woman who fell down stairs In her anxiety to view the fire- The other was a woman who had Just become a mother, and who died as the result of being removed from her home. The sternest feature which Mayor HInch clIffe and his co-workers find confronting them Is the necessity of providing employment and permanent homes for the destitute. The fact that the great silk mills escaped the fiames Is most Im portant. About half the population de pends upon the silk trade, and if their oc cupation had been taken away the situa tion would have been appalling. Another Important Industry Is that of locomotive building, and it was equally fortunate that these works escaped the flames. Tho great Rogers works and the American locomotive works give employment to thousands, and these ore running as usual today. Just before daybreak the militia arrested In one hall 11 men looting a building. Companies A. C and G. of the Fifth Regi ment. Company A, of the Passaic, and Ave Deputy Sheriffs were on guard all night. They had orders to club any one who did not obey orders to move on. The 120 members of Paterson's police force went on duty at S o'clock, relieving the militiamen. The anarchists who have made this city their headquarters mourn the loss of their favorite meeting place, the office of La Qucstlne Soclalc. in Market street. The home of Mk-s Ernestine Cravella, the young woman who attracted attention after the murder of King Humbert, by her Inflammatory speccheo In public meet ings, was also burned. The homes of miny others of the Paterson anarchists were destroyed, though Bariholdi's Hall, which was the bearding place of Bresci, the assassin of King Humbert, was un touched by the fire. The houses near It en Straight and Market streets were all burned to the ground. LOSSES IX llL'SIXESS SECTIOX. Insurnncc on Ilcnl Estnte Wn About 'I'vrn-Thlrd.s of Its Vnluo. PATERSON. N. J..

Besides these, there were buildings about the City Hall and vicinity as of fices, the loss of which will foot up to about $1.000,C). A well-informed Insurance man said today that It would be safe to say that the real estate loss In the fire was Insured at about two-thirds of its value, or perhaps a little more. It Is understood that the insurance on pub lic property will not figure higher than 33 per cent. Mayor HInchclIffe said tonight: "It will not be necessary for us to appeal for financial aid outside of Paterson. Only three applicants went to the Armory building last night for assistance, ahd all these cases have been cared for." Railroad Mont Pay Fire Losses. DENVER, Feb. 10. The Court of Ap pcals of Colorado today decided that the Denver & Rio Grande Railway Company Is responsible for the losses entailed by the fire which burned the old Antlers Ho tel and some other property at Colorado Springs In October, 1S9S. The suit against the company was brought by some of the Insurance companies which were caught by the fire. It was a test case, and is said to Involve losses aggregating $400, O30. The fire ls alleged to have been caused by sparks from a locomotive which first set fire to the Rio Grande depot. MEANS FREEDOM FOR MANY Decision of Court In Cane of an ex Volnnteer Xotv In Prison. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 10. Established prece dents of the United States Army were overthrown, and the freedom of nearly 200 men now confined In Federal penitentia ries was assured by a decision rendered by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals today In the case of Peter C. Deming, an ex-Captain of Volunteers, against Robert M. McClaughrey, warden of the Federal penitentiary at Fort Leav enworth. Deming was Imprisoned on the sentence of a court-martial composed of nine regular officers, convened by Gen eral W. R. Shafter'on March 29, 1900. The opinion of the Circuit Court, writ ten by Judge Walter S. Sanborn, is that the court-martial which sentenced Deming acted In violation of article 77 of the ar ticles of war. which provides that officers of tho regular Army shall not bo com petent to sit on courts-martial for the trial of officers and soldiers of other forces. Tho essential question, as stated in Judge Sanborn's opinion, ls whether tho volunteer Army is the same as tho regular Army, or whether it ls one of the "other forces" mentioned in article 77. The opinion establishes the fact that the volunteer Army is at all times dis tinct from the regular Army. Deming will be released from the Fort Leavenworth penitentiary within CO days, and all other former members of the vol unteer Army who are confined in the Fed eral prisons on sentences infiicteu by courts-martial of regular officers will also be liberated as the result of today's de cision. It is stated E. A. Rosier, United States District Attorney, estimates the number of such cases at 200. Deming was a Captain in the subsistence department of tho volunteer Army. He was commissioned under the act of 1S99, providing for the enlistment of soldiers for the Philippine War. The clfztrge against him related to his accounts. The court-martial dismissed Deming from the service and sentenced him to three years In the penitentiary. This sentence was affirmed by the Secretary of War and ap proved by the President. In June, 1S3S. Judge-Advocate-General Llebcr decided that regular Army officers might try volunteers under the act of 1S9S, providing for tho enlistment of soldiers for the Spanish "War. Under this ruling many cases were tried and sentence Im posed. The Deming case was the first In which an appeal was taken. In his opin ion Judge Sanborne says that General Shafter was prohibited by he laws of the United States from constituting the Dem ing court-martial of regular Army officers, and that the action of such a tribunal Is void. Diamond Field Story it Myth. BUTTE. Mont., Feb. 10. State Senator Hobaon, who ls largely Interested In the sapphire diggings In Fergus- County, says the story In circulation throughout the East of the many diamonds being found In this state Is a myth. The stone that ls creating all the furore Is a white sap phire, very hard, but of comparatively little worth. Hobson has, made special trips to New York and London, where he has Interviewed well-known lapldtets with reference to the Montana stone. In veins extending for miles along the creek beds Holton says these white stones can be found by the barrel. TEDDY, JUNIOR IS WORSE. (Continued from First Page.) that the crisis of the disease will be reached on Wednesday, and the next two or three days are likely to show some seemingly unfavorable reports, but they will be due to nothing more than the regular course of the disease. No plans have yet been made for the return of President Roosevelt to Wash ington. He can remain at Groton for 10 days at least, so far as the pressure of public business Is concerned. It seems probable that it will be a week before ho leaves. Every facility has been given him with regard to communication with Wash ington.
