FORESTS IN FLAMES
The Losses Around Sandwich Will
Run into the Thousands.
CRANBERRY BOCS PROBABLY RUINED
Great Destruction in the Adirondack
Upwards of Thirty Fires Raging and
Many Costly Cottages and Sum-
mer Hotels in Danger.

Sandwich, Mass, May 2O.-The ter
rible forest fire which devastated such
large amount of property in and
around Sandwich only a month ago,
was at the time considered the worst
ever heard of on the cape, but the Ire
mont conhagration which started at
Kelly's saw mill Monday afternoon has
surpassed even that terrific fire in the
amount of damage done to property.
Starting at the above point, it was
driven by northwest wind at a terrific
rate in the direction af Parker's mills
and then toward White Island pond
and Half Way pond, the most valua-
BILE cranberry land in the world at
present. 1t has covered an area OF
land more than twenty miles long and
from three to six miles in width, and
totally destroyed all immense amount
of valuable woodland. The loss cannot
be estimated with any degree of accu-
racy to-day, as the men sent into the
cranberry district to flood the bogs
have not yet returned and it is feared
that they have had hard work to es-
cape the fury of the flames with their
lives. The big trees and thick under
brush have had no rain to moisten
them for months and have burned like
kindling. No reports have yet been
received of any lives lost A number
of dwellings have been destroyed. The
loss to cranberry bogs alone may reach
hundreds of thousands of dollars and
this would mean want to many homes
which are wholly dependent on the
cranberry business for support. The
thunder storm which came up last
evening about ended the disastrous
conhagration.
Lancaster's Fire Out.
Clinton, Mass, May 2O.-The exten
sive forest fire which commenced Mon
day morning and ragged in the vicinity
of Spectacle pond is now about out.
The Lancaster fire department got it
under control after It had destroyed
the houses, barns, hennery, etc., on
the Samuel Rugg place. Between
1000 and 5000 acres of woodland was
burned over, including large amount
of valuable sprout land. The loss will
be well in the thousands. 1t was the
biggest fire that Lancaster ever ex-
perienced, and in fighting the flames
several hundred gave their services.

STARTING A NAVY
Cppans Believed To Be in Search
of a Gunboat.
OFFER MADE FOR A PILOT STEAMER
The City of Richmond, Now Being Over
hauled at Baltimore, Probably An
other FiIibuster-Spanish General
Vicuna Dies OF Yellow Fever.

Baltimore, May 20.-Capt. John
Hebb, president of the Maryland Pi"
lots association, has been approached
by person interested in Cuban af-
fairs with an offer for the associa-
tion's steamer Pilot. 1t is suspected
the Cuban revolutionary party would
like to get her to fit out as gunbeat,
for which purpose she is admirably
suited. She is practically small
ocean steamship, roomy and speedy.
By plating her with armor she could
be easily converted into a formidable
gunboat. The Pilots association will
sell her if enough money is offered for
her. The steamer City of Richmond,
now being overhauled here for alleged
freight business among the Florida
keys, is another vessel which is under
suspicion. 1t would not surprise many
if some morning soon it is found that
she has slipped off during the night for
the ''Florida freight business. Con-
siderable anxiety is felt here for the
Baltimore steamship Laurada, which
sailed over week ago from New York
with two young Baltimore society men
aboard bound for Cuba to aid the insur-
gents.
In Memory of Jose Marti.
New York, May 2O.-The council of

Dos Rios. The hall was well filed with
Cuban patriots and sympathizers with
the struggle for liberty. There We're
many pretty dark-eyed girls in the au-
dience who heartily applauded every
allusion made to the memory of the
dead patriot. The addresses were in
Spanish.
