The DAILEs, Ore, Sept. 3-As a re-
suit of yesterdays disastrous fire about
one-third of this city is in ashes and not
less than 1000 people are homeless
Eighteen blocks are totally consumed.
The Vogt block, opera house, Methodist
Baptist and Congregational churches,
Gibbons. McAllister d. Co.'S large imple-
ment warehouse and the stores of FilloOn
Bros, together with five or six hundred
residences are now a mass of ruins. Had
the high wind continued which pre-
vailed during the early stage of the con-
tlagration the entire city would have
been destroyed. Every building on the
North Bluff, on South Madison street and
Laughlin street are but heap
of ashes. The region bounded by
Third, Washington, Bluff and IN
ion streets, with the exception
of brick school house and the residence
of George Rush is blackened waste.
Not much less than million dollars
worth of property has gone up in the
flames.
Fortunately the Cosmopolitan and
Cmatllla houses were saved. and these
two hotels furnished shelter last night
for hundreds whom the fire had rem
dered homeless. Others found lodging
IN the homes of their more fortunate
neighbors and others spent the night on
the beach keeping watch over what little
had been rescued from the flames.
1t is impossible to make any estimate
OF the amount of insurance covering the
burned property. Many of the losers
are badly crippled, while others are
ruined financially. So far as learned on
y one serious accident occurred. TWAS

to Intercept His
Escape.
he IS COMING TO The UNITED STATES.
Should Balmaceda Land in This COun-
try or Mexico He Will Be
Protected.
He Is Still Recognized as the Head of
the Chilian Government by
Foreign Powers.
he IS COMING TO The UNITED STATES.

Cry or MEXICo, Sept. 3.--Ihe Anglo
American says: A prominent gentleman
in this city who is well known in the
Anglo American colony received the fol
lowing dispatch in cypher:
"Valparaiso, Sept. president Bal
maceda is aboard the Condella and ex-
poets to disembark in San Francisco.
However, if he be pushed by the insur-
gent war ships he may land in Mexico
If he does, extend all possible courtesies, "
Here is the first definite news regard
ing the whereabouts of Balmaceda. The
Imperial torpedo boat and Condella have
sailed north and are to be pursued by
the cruisers of the congressional party.
Whatever port the fleeing president may
make he will be protected. No war
ship will attempt his capture within the
marine league of Mexico or
the United States. Until new
government is formed Balmaceda is
the recognized head of Chill. If Balma
ceda lands in Mexico he will receive the
hospitality that the constitution grants
to all political refugees. The timely ar
rival Of members of the Chilian legation
here of President Diaz insures more hos
pitality. The race of the Condella and
the Imperial against the cruisers in the
hands of the congressionalists will un'
questionably attract public attention fol
the next two weeks.

Chilian A fairs.

WAsHiNGToN, Sept. 3.-The Chilian
congressional ENJOYS in this city received
information which shows that two mem
bers of the Junta who left Iquique on
Sunday have arrived at Valparaiso
These two members are Waldo Silva,
vice president of the senate, and Ramon
Baros Luco, speaker of the house of
representatives. Senor MOntt, com
mander-n chief of the navy, and Others
of the Junta were already at Valparaiso
These three gentlemen will now go to
Santiago, where they will take steps for
the reorganization of the government in
accordance with the changed condition
of affairs. Senor Montt, principal con,
gressional envoy here, has received q
dispatch dated at Valparaiso, Sept. 2
and signed Selva and Luco. in which
they say that Gen. BaquedanO, to whom
President Balmaceda surrendered the
government when he left Santiago. had
given up command. The reestablish
ment of the constitution and laws, tha
dispatch says, has been celebrated with
indescribable enthusiasm.

So in the case Of the Chilian con

officials say, to strick observance of the
practice of this government as fixed by
many precedents and has awaited the re-
ceipt of such official information as is
necessary to enable it to know beyond a
doubt that the congressonalists have
succeeded in securing absolute domin-
ion over Chill. The requisite informa-
tion is now probably before the depart
ment and the next step is recognition.
Several cablegrams have been sent to
Minister Egan and there is reason to be-
lievc that when he is satisfied that
the government, even though it be
temporary, has been securely es-
tablished in Chill he will
immediately open official intercourse
with that government. This step. it is
said at the department, is equivalent to

ment, and as soon as such new govern
ment officially notifies the department of

HELENA, Sept. 3.-There have been
many complaints from eastern Montana
lately by cattle men of the stealing of
stock by thieves Inspectors are now
busy at the shipping points SO that the
rustler, as the thieves are called, have "a
good chance to ply their trade. Down
in Custer county, about 80 miles from the
railroad, the cattlemen have taken the
matter in their own hands. Jack Moore
who came in from that section yesterday
says that Just before he left home a
cowboy came to his ranch with the news
that Jerry Thompson, notorious rustler,
and his two companions had been caught
changing brands on cattle and were all
hanged to the same tree. This is the
first lynching in Montana of cattle
thieves for number of years.
