ILL WANTS DAM AGES.
Claims This Country Has WrOngcd
Her 5000. q Worth.

San Francisco special: 1t is stated
on what appears to be good authority
that the errand of II. A.. Widcmann
OF Honolulu to this country is that of
commencing a damage suit against
the United States in behalf of the cN-
Queen of Hawaii. The amount Of
damages to be asked for is said to be
S2tO.0O0 and the friends of the en-
Queen claim that she has been mulct-
ed to fully that amount. Her claim
is that the Provisional Government
could never have been established had
it not been for the unwarranted action
Of a recognized agent Of the United
States. the captain Of the warship
Boston. which action was subse-
quentIy formally disayowed by the
President.
Whatever Mr.. Widemann's error is
his departure from Honolulu was kept
a profound secret until almost the mo-
ment OF sailing when he suddenly APP
peareu on the dock and secured pas
sage. Within a few days he will 60 to
Washington, where he does not deny
he has business of importance to tran
sact.
Mir. Widcmann declined to be inter-
viewed regarding his mission to Wash
ington, and when asked whether he
was going u institute Il damage suit
on behalf Of the eX-Queen his answer
was that he had been accused of that
before.
His fellow passengers from the ISL
and declare that Mr.. Widemann's err
rand is as stated and that he has in
structions to 90 about the matter very
quietly and gain as little newspaper
notoriety us may be possible.

MORE FOREST FIRES.
Grow Wing County. Minnesota, Suf-
fcrs Immense Damage.


st. Paul, Mimi, special: More
serious forest fires were reported this
morning from Crow Wing County and
and several fatalities feared. A dis
patch from Bralnerd says Il large part
of the county was laid waste by fires
which ragged with terrible fury and
that probably a dozen farmers in the
eastern and southern parts OF Crow
Wing County lost nearly all their
buildings and in some eases every
thing contained in them. Lon Vim
cent and family had a marrow escape.
and their farm house was destroyed.
The only thing John Swanson saved
was his team. County Treasurer John
II. Frater suffered greatly, all his
farm buildings. crops and household
furniture being destroyed. Albert
La Fond lost considerable grain with
farm buildings. The farms of Joseph
Meyers, \. +. Detail and George San
grin are also reported to have been
devastated. No authentic estimate of
the losses is possible, but many lost
their entire crop and all buildings.
The flames spread with the greatest
rapidity and it is wonderful that no
lives were lost. However, many
families are known to be in the fire
belt that have not been heard from
and the gravest fears are felt for their
safety. The fires are still burning.
but the wind has subsidized and 1t is
hoped the danger is past.
