GAGE TO SPEAK AT
SAN DIEGO TONIGHT

HOTEL DEL CORONADO, Sept
25.-The San Diego meeting tomorrow
night promises to be one of the great
est political demonstrations ever wit
messed in Southern California. Henry
T. Gage, the Republican nominee for
Governor, accompanied by General
Barnes, care here to-day in order to
get a good rest to meet the demands
made upon his time and strength for
tomorrow. At the plaza open-air
meeting tomorrow night he will
speak at much greater length than
usual and enter fully into the discus
sion of subjects which have been
lightly touched hitherto. A reception
at the Horton House tomorrow after
noon will enable him to meet many
friends and acquaintance OF San
Diego and the surrounding country.
Special trains will bring to San Diego
large numbers of people from towns in
this region. 1t is contrary to the prin-
ciples of Mr.. Gage to do politics on
Sunday, so he came to-day unan-
nounced and sought the solace Of
Coronado Beach.
General Barnes is in fine form and
will no doubt make speech in San
Diego that will equal his splendid ad-
dresses at Ventura and San Ber-
nardino. The Republicans here are
alive to the Importance of the cam
paign and have made elaborate prep
arations for the meeting tomorrow
night. U. s. Grant has been selected to
preside.

SEATTLE, Sept. 25.-A Vancouver
(B. CO. special says Brindley Mills and
P. G. Grant, two members of a Mon
treal Klondike syndicate, arrived here
to-day after having spent four months
in trying to get through to the gold
country over the Ashcroft trail.
At Quesnelle they met Sir Arthur
Curtis, an English baronet, and his
party, and also ran across them at Mud
River, where Sir Arthur mysteriously
disappeared and was never seen by a
white man again. Mr.. Mills said they
joined in the search with Indians for
the body, and they are confident that
the Indians not only knew all about the
nobleman's death. but knew also where
the. body might be found They want
$1,000 reward for bringing it out Of the
woods.
The unfortunate nobleman, Mills be-
,lieves, met with foul play.
Mills and his party were lost for four
days without food 100 miles from Tele-
graph Creek. On one occasion they
took the advice of a treacherous In
dian guide and went fifty miles odt of
their way. They describe their ex-
periences as terrible. They declare en-
phaticallv that the route is a fraud and
that hundreds of poor fellows are ac-
tually in danger of starvation on IL
now. They are stalled fifty and 100
miles apart without provisions and
without hope.
Mills and Grant started out with fifty
eight horses and lost thirty on the road.
Their outfits also were lost, and when
they reached Telegraph Creek they
were broken in health and without

TEXAS FEVER PREVAILS
ON S0LAN0 RANGES
Vigorous Efforts Being Made by the
Stockmen to Stamp Out
the Disease.

SUISUN. Sert 25.-Stock owners in
Solano County are confronted by a
serious situation in the shape of Texas
fever among cattle in certain sections.
Numerous deaths have been reported,
and those interested in the cattle busi-
ness have come to the conclusion that
vigorous efforts must be made to stamp
out the disease. To this end a meeting
was held to-day and was attended by
prominent stockmen. Definite action
was postponed until next Saturday,
when every part of the county will be
represented.
1t is thought the disease was brought
by the importation of cattle from
Southern California counties. 1t is COM
municated by means of a tick which
gets on the animal from the ground
and is the common carrier of the mi
crobe that bears the disease. The
Board of Supervisors has appropriated
money for health officer, and owners
of cattle have been notified to bury the
carcasses of dead animals. Every effort
will be made to prevent further spread
of the disease.

WAR CERTAIN UNLESS
M'KINLEY INTERCEDES
Grave Trouble Between Costa Rica
and Nicaragua Over a Marrow
Strfpe Of Land

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-A st. Louis spe-
cial to the Herald says: John de Bar
ruel, a resident of Costa Rica, was in
this city to-day en- route to the East. He
left Port Limon two wekes ago, and is
therefore thoroughly conversant with the
affairs of that country and the Costa
Rica-Nicaragua situation.
unless President Mckinley interferes
there will be war between the two coun-
tries In December" he said to me. '"The
controversy arises over a strip of land
extending from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific Ocean, Immediately south of the
proposed canal. President Zelaya Of
Nicaragua claims that the canal is en-
tirely within the boundaries of his coun-
try and the Costa Ricans claim the canal
is on the boundary line.
1.-The Costa Rican Congress has granted
President Iglesia permission to visit Presi-
dent Mckinley for the purpose of asking
him to adjust the difficulty, and I be-
lieve he sailed for New York last FRI
day.. or at least he was supposed to sail
on that date.
.The question is one that has aroused
bitter feeling between the two countries,
but both are willing for the United
States to act as arbitrator and end the
controversy without recourse to arms,
but there will certainly be war between
the two countries unless Mr.. Mckinley
fntercedes"

HAVANA, Sept. 25.-In all probabil-
ity the distribution of the first lot of
relief supplies sent by the American
Government to Cuba since the war be-
gan will take place at Matanzas to-
morrow afternoon. The Evacuation
Commission has cabled to Washington
asking that orders be sent to the Comal
at Key West to start at once for Ma
tanzas, and Immediately to begin land
Ing her cargo of million dollars
worth Of rations as soon as she arrives
This is the result of the Spanish reply
to the Comal communication received
last night. The reply conceded practi-
cally all the Americans asked, although
still combating the American conten-
ton that the protocol made the Evacu-
alton Commission the paramount pow
er in the island and superior to all ex-
listing forms of Spanish government.
The essential request being granted the
detail that the Comal disembark at Ha-
vana was waived, especially as it was
felt that MatanZas was an excellent
center for the relief of distress
The reply grants the free landing and
distribution of the ComaPs cargo under
the supervision of American officers,
pointment, or Red Cross agents. This
will probably be followed by sugges-
ton from the American Commission to
the workers of the Red Cross in the
United States that they promptly begin
the shipment of supplies at their dis
posal.
The reply Of the Spanish Commission
to the second American demand In re-
gard to the evacuation of Cuba will
probably be delivered tomorrow. 1t is
generally believed it offers a compro-
mise on the date proposed. 1t fixes an
earlier day for beginning the evacua-
ton than named in the first Spanish
reply, but is still considerably later
than that demanded by the Americans.
A member of the Spanish Commission
told me to-day that he had no doubt
that date can be found acceptable
to both nations. The members of the
American Commission, my informant
said, will not, insist so strenuously on
immediate evacuation If the Spanish
answer seems indicative of q desire to
make all possible speed.

300 NILES IN cIRcUMFERENoE.
Reports From Denver, Col, of Tre-
 mendous Fire

Denver Sept. 30.-Battle Mountain government reserve, bounded by the Grand river on the north, Roaring Fork on the east and the Gunnison on the west, is mass of flames. This reserve runs through the counties of Garfield, Delta and Mesa. The big White River government reserve, starting in Gar field county and extending through the Routt and Rio Blanco, is also on fire. Reliable reports show that the fires are now nearly three hundred miles in cir conference, with Glenwood for a cen- ter, and practically every mountain range with the timblers ablaZe. The only cessation of the fire that is report ed comes from Cottonwood and Four Mile creek, where the flames have con- stunned everything that will burn on the mountain sides. On the south side of the Rio Grande from Minturn to Glen wood the railroad men report a steady blaze of fire plainly visible from the smaller valleys. Many ranches have been abandoned. There appears to be no hope of a cessation of the confagra- tion until itself out except by a heavy rain. J. s. Swan. game commissioner, states there is no doubt that the fires are caused by carelessness of campers and people generally during season of exceptional dryness. Colonel w. T. s. May, chief United States forester has gone to the west slope to inspect the country under government control where fires are burning.

HEALTH OF DEWEY,S MEN.
Number of Sick at One Time Never Ex-
 ceeded Forty Out Of2,OOO.

Washington, Sept. 30-Admiral Dew ey appears to have been lucky in pre- serving the health of his sailors and in that matter he even exceeded the rec ord of the North Atlantic squadron. Secretary Long to-day made public a short extract from the admiral's last report, treating on this subject in which, while dealing with the general climatic conditions of the Philippines for the information of tlle government he says of the sailors and troops: AS Luzon is the farthest north of the large islands, its climate is naturally the most temperate. In this connection it may be mentioned that out of a force of over 2,0O0 on the ships of my squad ron. the number of men on the sick list at any time has not exceeded forty nor has there been any considerable sick ness among our troops on shore, though thev were much exposed for three weeks in the trenches during the rainy season. As matter of fact, Manila is far from being an unhealthy city and inc climate is as fine as that of any place in the tropics

NEVIS FROM SANTIAGO.
A Telegraph Line 325 Miles In Length
 to be Constructed.

Santiago, Sept. 3O.-Captain Brady of the United States signal service has been ordered to begin the construction of an overland telegraph line, S25 miles in length, from Guantanamo via San tiago de Cuba and Manzanillo. The line is to be used principally for the transmission of government dispatches, although commercial messages will be accepted The present rate of trans mission of messages by telegraph from Guantanamo Is twenty cents word up to thirty words and twelve cents word exceeding thirty words. Schools will be opened on Monday, the attendance upon which will be compulsory. Eng fish will be taught. Thirty teachers at a salary of $60 a month each and a superintendent at $250 a month will be engaged. The miners are returning to work and General Wood says there is absolutely no starvation in the province of Santiago. Much qualification is ex- pressed over the law abiding nature of the people in the province. There has been no murder since the occupation by the Americans, and few crimes, all of petty nature, have been committed.
