War Investigation Commission to-day de-
cided to ask General Lee to follow Gene

day that the policy of calling General
Miles or General shafter had not yet been
under consideration.
MORE LETTERS EXAMINED.
The commission to-day continued It's ex-
animation of letters bearing upon charges
OF mismanagement, some OF them calling
attention to such charges and others at
tempting to refute them. Many or the
| letters referred to newspaper reports OF
abuses, and In most OF such cases letters
were sent to the editors in question. ask
ing them for Specific information.
Many of the charges received by mail
| are quite vague in character An officer
! I'm a Pennsylvania regiment wrote that
he had been at Camp Thomas and az Fer
nandira and Tampa. Fla, and that he
knew tho charges of mlsmanagcment
were false. He expressed his willingness
to come to Washington and give the COM
mission the information at mis- command,
at his own expense
MONTAUK.
To-day's letters deal especially with the
conditions at Camp Wlkoff. In one In
stance n minister wrote that he had
pointed out the inaccessibiity and ex-
posed condition of the location. and the
poor condition of the water, before the
place was selected.
The members of the commission express
their determination to make a very com-
plete inspection OF affairs at that point.
and It Is probable that they will visit the
place as body.

FOREST FIRES MORE FURIOUS.
villages Wholly or Partly Destroy
ed-pnmnge $4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900.

ST. PAUL. MINI, September 30.-The
forest fires which have been burning In
various places throughout Western Wis
consin for the past few days were famed
into furious storms of flame by yester-
davis winds, and did great damage
throughout Chippewa, Barron. Dunn. ST.
Croix. and Polk counties.
A general destruction OF telegraph wires
makes the reports very incomplete, but 1t
seems that the villages of Clayton, Ala
nena. and Poskin have been wholly or
nartlv destroyed; that Cumberland has
suffered heavy losses and that Glenwood,
Rarron. Prentice, Philips, and Turtle
Fake were saved only by great efforts.
LOSS OF LIFE.
Ranor,s OF loss of life are coming in,
hut have not been verified except in one
instance.
A railroad bridge and trestle over 700
foot long on the 800" Line west of Bar
ron was burned last night, and trains ere
running by another route.
The fires have been checked in places by
rains and the subsidence of the wind. A
rough estimate places the aggregate css
at from 100000 to S,Ooo@O.
DEVASTATION IN COLORADO.
DENVER, tOlI, StpleHbtI oV.-ise-
ports from the western portion Of the
State continue to tell of the ravages OF
the forest fires, which bid fair to devas-
tate the greater part of the forests OF the
state A special from Glenwood Springs,
the centre of the burning district, says:
"The fires in the mountains near here
have taken fresh life to-day, owing to
high winds The sun has been nearly OBJ
scured all day, and the atmosphere Is
heavy with smoke. The fire east OF
| Glenwood Springs is. fortunately. in an
unsettled portion of the county, and
aside from the immense loss by the
burning of timber, no loss has occurred
| ND 10 the present time The stock on the
| range. as far as heard from. has escaped
| the fire"
A special TO the News from Kokomo,
| Col. saws: Forest fires are raging on
| every hand here. Sheep Mountain. on
| the north side. Is a mass OF flames,
| which are within a quarter of mile OF
| this camp. Great apprehension Is felt
