The statement Is as follows : "Some of

have been destroyed , and In the meantime
persons have been massacred by the Turkish
soldiers In the district or Sassoimn. Others , ,

8:30. : whcn the poltcal hcnllquarter ( of hoth
Mr. Fisim nml Mr. lalby were filled with
Ilo\tclans amid newspaper men , cries or fire
from different parts of the house caused '
consternation among the guests. The out-
burst or fnmcs before au nlarm cou11 b
/h'en was aPPalling. Up time elevator shaf
shot solId column of lianmes which
a so\ll lames , spread
quickly to ench of the five floors. Jiortu-
nlter ] , the guest \st was 10t very large and
the mnjorly ( of those reglsterell ( were 11\
lclans and were down on the second floor.
There was n rush for time stairs In the front
n11 the servants stairs In time back , where
time flames had 10t yet reached , and In a
few minutes . there was 1 tumbling mass of
humanlt 10wn these two menns of egress.
Those on tim two ullller floors cou11 not avail
themselves of these exits , for the flmcs
were rushing along the corridors nnd 110111e
on the street who hall not yet seen time famcs

Wihin ( cut minutes after the first note of
alarm , at least twelve persons were danglng
on the Insulclent rope fire escapes or hang-
lug to the wIndow sils , The tepartment nr
rh'cel quIckly. hut It tool some tme to get
ladders up and In the mcautme some of the
people hind dropped to the street.
JUMPED TO Hm D ATI.
On the right side of the building there
appeared nt time window , surrounded by
smoke , a man and wmnan. The man had
hold of the woman , trying to persuate her
to walt for helll , but she broke away and
sprang out She strucle a balcony anti re-
bounded to the stmeeL The mun waited for
1 ladder and was taken down In snfely. His
name Is I A. Foakes anti he represents I

WOman die. was his wie. ald she will probably
die.In
In ex-Speaker Mtmltby's room , which was to
the rear 01 time elevator shaft , where the
lire first appeared , there was the greatest ex. ,
cltemmient . . I
clemcnt. About twenty politicians were
there , Including Congressmen Weaver and
Curtis , Senator Kibur and Mr. ltialtby. A
rush was made for the stairs , amid when time
party landed In the street the only Injured
one was found to he Assemblyman Hobbins ,
whose haIr anti face was badly hured ,
Alhough the building was five stories

lie , heard tl cry of fire. A hurst or fame
made him look to the window as the means
or escape. lie hind but two ' altermmatives-a
fiery death or 0 jump lie chose the laUcr.
When picked up from the sidewalk he was
dying. His wIfe who was In the room wlh
hl n. tried n rope fire escape , but It either
broke or else she failed to hold I , for Ihe ,
too fell tQj the , pavement , Her right Imb
\vn broken , her left ankle dislocated , ant
she ! was badly burned abut the face amid
ane
head. Edward Walsh n reporter , was cught
In the hal and badly btmrned.
In less than fnen minutes a'ftem' the Ire
alarm was turned In the entire building was
wrapped In Inmes , resemblng a huge crater ,
and all hopes of saving the famous structure
were hopeless. The h tel takes In the entire
entre
block about 10 br 450 feel , and this was In
anbthcr fifteen minutes a seething cauldron
only bound by the four walls.

At 10:30 : the east wll felt In and some of
the firemen narrowly escaped being burlet ,
At 1 :30 : the Broadway wail fen out and one

ously Imurt nnl1 rumored at this late hour
tlit there are bodies In than ruins , all that
quito a number of people did 10t eSC9pe. The
clerk says tonight that ho Is positive all of
time guests escaped , but does not feel so sure
about the help ] , of whom there was a great
number. There Is no way tonight of finding
out positively whether theo rumors are true
or not , and It wIll take a day or so to de-
ermine
Mr. Malby salt after the lime : "It Is
Inconceivable how the flames ohtalnel such
headway. The hnls were n mass of fire
before we reclved a word of warning. " Of
the hunlrell or more guests not one saved
more than time clothes they wore One of
the Incidents or lie fire was the escape of
Miss Martini of New Yorll. She was In the
fourth story window on the Steuben street
side when a ladder was raised A messenger
boy rushed up and broke the window , thus
freeing' her.
Mr. anti Mrs Drdley Martin . Bradley ,
Martn , jr" , anti Mrs F' . 'F. Martn were
guests ot time hotel , having come here to
. bury time former's son. They were on the
second floor , a good way from where the (
fire started amid escaped Mr. Martin , when
ho renched the sidewalk , offered anybody
$500 who would get his wife's jewels No-
body accepted , and they were destroyed , ] ,
Thcre wal a satchel IleJ with jewels valued
at $5,000.
