Twx? business men In the vicinity sai.l the explosion was In ft defective boiler connected with the pvs system In the basement of the building occu lted by Rutther Troestel. which em ployes had attempted r thaw out. Others Insisted the expKvon was caused by the pis Itself, but they were unable to say how the pis hJ caused It. The expert of the Peoples Ga Company are invest (rutin the cause and are as yet uncertain. They think wmf one was thawing out a pipe and that the explosion resulted. The city fire marshal Is likewise uncertain as to the first cause. The most graphic story of the acci dent was told by J. Pauls, of 6 Twenty-second place, who stood across the street when the building went up. "The first thing 1 knew." he said. "I was blown njrainst a telegraph jmle. I was facing the market r.nd It seemed that the whole building rose in the air at once and then collapse 1 into the cellar a heap of ruins. I ran across the street and as I crossed the car tracks I could hear the cries of the people Imprisoned in the wreckage. Almost Immediately the fames burst out all over the place, and It seemed that everything was on Mre at once. "Then I caught sight of a man crawling out from the hasement. He did not seem to be badly hurt and called for help. I reeocniied him as the sausage maker Troestel had hired a few days before. I don't know his name. A man who ran ui Jumped down to help him, and between us we got him Into the street. He was able to walk and went away at once. 'The first explosion in the building disconnected the gas mains and they caught fire at once. The fire seemed to follow the pipes and five minutes later the manhole west In Archer ave nue blew up with a report airmst as ' loud as the first. The manhole in the ' east followed In a few minutes. "We could hear the cries In the basement growing fainter and we had to allow the sufferers to die without doing anything to help them." J. J. Kleiner, proprietor of the drug- ; store at Archer avenue and Twenty- second streeet was a witness to the explosion. He says that no one came ' from the butcher shop afer the hfck. t "I was standing in the front of my ; store when the explosion occurred," ' Mr. Kleiner said. "I was Just looking down Twenty-second street wh-n the building trembled. I saw the entire front of the butcher sh.'P flv nut Into the street and Instantly there came a flash of fame. I turned to the f-1 phone and called up several !' tors and told them of the di .-aster. All of , them responded. "I realised that something awful had occurred, but I could not v'.l Jun what it was. As I turned to Wk down the street again I heard the fire ,.. partmen. coming. Thn th manhos began to explode and one by one the ' caps were blown high in lh air. The ! force of the explosion was so great that the windows in street cars were ' shattered. ''The scene was one I shall nver I forget. I do not believe a person In the butcher shop or the fiat above 1 escaped." On Monday Otto Troestel KNill.lHMKN SAIL KOR HOMK. i NKYV YORK. Feu S. Hmce Ismav. W. J. Pierre ami W. S.

Captured Bor Letter Published by a London Paper. LONDON. Feb. 6 In accordance ' with the promise of Mr. fhamber'aln. the colonial secretary' to parliament, the letter recently captured In South Africa has been published. It is I from General Smuts to General Hotha and Is dated September 2, l'iol. f'"-n-eral Smuts protest against his dis missal for burning farms at Hremens- ' dorp. The writer of the letter admits that farm burning violates R.-r principles but contends it was Justified in this case because Bremensirp wa.s outalde the Boer borders. General Smuts pleads his military prowess as a r'-a- ' son for mitigation of his punishment. In the course of the letter he sVjws that at Botha's orders, the Boers drove their women unwillingly Into the British lines to force them Into the concentration camrs. The Conservative papers point to this letter as proving Boer brutality and treachery, while the Dally News points out that although Smuts was a successful general and a personal TA'-OMA. Feb. .
