A dispatch from the city Of Mexico says:
Public sentiment here regarding the Cutting

threatsof war from the state OF Texas In

FOREST FIRES.
EOBEsI EthES.
Later Concerning the Wisconsin Fires.

A Milwaukee dispatch OF the L th gives
the following general summary OF the stu.
alton: Though the forests in the northern
tier OF counties OF this state are still ablaze
and are likely to remain SO until rains
Guench the flames, the danger to the vii
lagos and towns dotting them is over, I'M
less heavy gales should again sweep down
upon them. While not over dozen cases CT
human cremation are reported, il is 5eliey-
cd that many baekwoodsmen and families
remote from settlements cannot possibly
have escaped. The fatality to cattle has
been terrible Hundreds OF charred bodies
lie on the bIakeued track of the
devastating fire. 1t is estimated that
in Calumet. Clark, Marathon and
a few adjacent counties 500 iami-
lies are rendered homeless and desti-
tute and viii suffer uniessimmediate relief
is sent them. Many of these people had
narrow escapes from death, having hidden
in wells or submerged themselves up to
their necks in streams, with with wet blan-
kets covering their heads, until the
fires passed. In some places the
fire swooped down so suddenly
up on the people that they barely had
time to seek this method of safety. In
other places the roar OF the flames was
distinctly heard, and the terror stricken
people fed nadly before the flames to the
neighboring villages and towns. The loss
cannot even be estimated. Hundreds OF
homes, dozens Of saw mills, lumber camps
and millions Of feet Of timber are in ashes.
Acres of ripening grain were laid waste and
hundreds upon knntlreds of cattle were
burned to death. To-night's adyiees are
that the fires are abating considerably
by rlnning into clearings and be-
ause the wind has died out. How
ever, fears are entertained OF
repetition should high winds pre-
vail again before rain appears. Along the
valley division Of the Chicago. Milwaukee,
and 81. Paul. heavy rains today extin-
guishcd all the flames. saving the largest
cranberry marshes in that section. To-
day the suiioeatins clouds OF smoke from
the burning forests were borne by north
winds down as far as Milwaukee. On tho
lakes, for mica from the shore. near Green
Bay, Sturgeon BaY and even further south,
the smoke clouds are so dense that the sun
is obscured, and vessels can navigate only
by continuous blowing OF horns, il being
impossible to see 400 feet ahead at mid
day.
The losses at Spencer aggregate $780,
900. Business is suspended. Reports from
the towns OF Eaton, Bellevue and Depers
reveal much loss and distress. Nineteen
families In the vicinity OF Noodruffs old
mill were burned out The Uasssn family
Of five saved their lives by getting into the
well1 The damage at Pensaukee is esti-
mated at $50. GOO. Reports from Lansy
and Angelica, In Shawano county, say that
the fire is very bad. Five families were
burned out and their crops destroyed. The
mill near Angelica burned. Fred Regain,
near St. Nathans, Cconto county, lost fiye
buildings and his crops.

A dispatch from New York says: The will
Of 5. j. Tilden was read at Greystone in
the presence Of ali the relatives except
those in the west. The document is a long
one containing about ten thousand words.
Hon. John Bigeiow, Andrew IL. Green and
George w. Smith are named as executors
and trustees. All OF Mr.. Tiiden's kindred
are generously provided for in the viii.
The whole estate is placed in the hands OF
the executors as trustees. Each heir Is to
receive an equal share in the line OF his or
her consanguinity. That is, nephcws
and nieces receive equal amounts,
and their children certain amounts,
but they are to receive only the income
derived from an equal separate specific
sum, the principal at their death to be dis
posed of in q manner which Mr.. Bigelow
could not state. None of his relatives,
except Mrs. Mary b. Hilton, his sister,
are given any specific bequest forever. To

likely to become more important
question now than eyer before, in
view of the fact that the disturbances
