MANY OF THI VALUABLE PAINTINGS THOUGHT LOST DISCOVERED, BUT COSTLY OEMS HAVE IEEN LOST.

' (Amarlran Xawa Service.) , , Brussels, Aug: 16. A commission of three experts today opened a Judicial inquiry into- the fire which wiped out omt of the moat valuable exhibits of the International - exposition Sunday night and yesterday morning. ' The grounda were again thrown open to the public. "At the samo time it was stated officially that a financial disaster was .not feared. In spite, of the heary loss, owing to reinsurance. Though the damage - Is estimated at amounts . ranging from f 10.000.000 to 220,000.000 the Insurance Interests of Belgium, France and England are declared to be In a position to stand the strain without difficulty. Insurance adjusters today crowded the ruins,: working In collaboration with the exposition officials, British companlea carried -more than $25,000,400 Insurance on the English exhibit. which was completely wiped, out Of this 1200,000 was, the amount of in surance granted the British government, by Lloyds. . The losses of the Belgium Union Underwriters will be less than $1,000,000, - however, according to reliable estimates. ," ' ; The Kermesso was Injured in England, the amusement concessionaires there being for the most part Englishmen end Americans. What the Losses Are. , With the accounting for many of the paintings at first believed to have been destroyed. It was made clear today 'that the chief loas. aside from the furniture, pottery and tapestry exWlLli- . 1 W - . . ... muita fa um cngitsa quarters, nas ianen upon the diamond, dealers.. Though more f2,5tN),00O worth of gems were saved by being in a fire proof vault when the blase started, the gems not so protected were. worth many millions. The DeBeers Interests, alone bad uncut diamonds In the Belgian lection, where the lapidaries and Jew. elers had their exhibits, suffered most heavily with the British. Bostock. the American animal trainer was one of the heaviest individual losers. Of his extensive collection of wild beasts, only an elephant and a rage full' of monkeys, were saved. Most of the other beasts and reptiles were roasted alive and some killed. In spite of the disaster, the exposition will probably be carried to a successful conclusion, although, the destruction of records will greatly curtall the distribution of awards: ' The ruins are an attraction in themselves, however. Not only was a great crowd on hand this morning, clamoring for admission to the grounds, but hotelkeepers report an ' influx of for eigners, attracted , by the prospect of seeing the ruins. The latter are under close guard while a specially picked corps of men la searching for gems and other val uables In the debris. SLEUTH HAS BATTLE (American News Service.) Buffalo.

A Famous New

Defies the Dread Black Hand

(American News Service) ' ' New York. Aug. 10. Domenico Bor - gla, chevalier of the order of the crown of Italy, sculptor and architect, one of the most prominent members of the j Italian-American colony of New York after appealing in vain for police protection from the Black Hand for nearly a year, has asked to be allowed to protect himself. ' His pleas for assistance ia running down 'the men whd have vowed to murder him, torture his wife, and kidnap his children unless he pays $2,000 having failed, he wants permission to arm himself. He has been referred from police official to police official, and has been met with promises of help and that is all. Mr. Borgia who is known in every public spirited, enterprise in , aid of his compatriots . in this country, is head of the Borgia construction company at 1133 Broadway. He lives with his wife and son and daughtec-ftt ISSth street and "Washington avenue. His work in marble adorns many notable

451 buildings throughout the country. He 425 was one of the prime movers in the as373 soclatlon which: erected the Verraiaho

statue at the Battery during the Hud-son-Futon "celebration. For his services generally he was knighted a fw months ago by King Victor Emanuel and on August. 28 he is to be the guet at a breakfast given .in his honor by the leading foreign business men of the city. ; r ' First Letter Last December. Mr.' Borgia reluctantly consented yesterday to tell of the persecutions he and his family have undergone since last December. ., "I had left for Mexico last December," said Mr. Borgia, "when there came to nyofflpe a letter signed 'II Mano Nera," demanding that I leave $1,000 on the new Brooklyn bridge under penalty of death. The- letter was written in an illiterate hand and was full of oatha and blasphemy.: When I returned In March "another letter came in the same handwriting, making a similar demand. I paid no attention to this; it did not frighten me. Twenty-two years residence in this country have taught me not to be frightened by threats that might move some persons to whom American ' Institutions are strange. .': "As a matter of 'precaution, f took the two letters to the police. They would look into it at once, the proper squad would be put to work, in the meantime I must say nothing. I waited. More letters came, almost monthly. I have . received them nearly all at my office here, but one at my house.' . Demand Increased tor $2,C00. ' ' "They have grown more threatening ia tone at every number, and-In July they Increased the demand from $1,000 to $2,000. Here they are. Mr. Borgia took from an 'envelope seven letters, all signed "II Mano Nera." Two men appeared to have written them and . they were' mailed either, at Station Dor in Tomkins Square. Interwoven with threats of death for the sculptor and his family were fearful oaths and blasphemous expressions. "Yon r time is growing short, read the letter received the latter part of July; "you are walking Into our trap. We were watching you when you were at the picnic of 8tgno BarsettI (alluding to an entertainment given by the editor of a leading foreign paper), our eyes are never away from -you. Send us $2,000 now or you will Tcnow What we mean. ' 4 The letter of "July 1, received after a free Interval, read " rso you -thought we had. forgotten you; ' yon1 thought we were 'through with jou. Wen, we nave had other

4A a.i'L t

York Sculptor I things to do, and now your turn has 'com again- You know what we mean Bend u8 the money or take the fate of the vendetta." Every other word almost waa an oaiBThose letters have come to me, as you see," continued Mr. Borgia, "and I have appealed to the police to put a stop to it. All I have received isj fair words. I have made up my mind that I will not submit to 6uch, things. ' In the meantime I have announced that I will protect myself. I am endeavoring vainly to obtain permission to arm myself. I wrote a letter to one bureau and to another,, and have been advised to see some one else. I wrote a letter to the police commissioner for permission to carry a pistol, and was referred to the police station nearest my home. I assume that there will be another delay. . - t "In the, meantime It may ,as well be known that I am prepared for any at0a ,kw blackmailers who expect to find me an easy victim will be surprised. My children are guarded and so is my house. I almost1 welcome the attack. They will get treatment they deserve. I do not know or any greater service I could 'perform than to break up' such a band ot malefactors who prey upon the terrors of Ignorant and fearful persons."
