Advfces from MANILA.
TO SHIP SILVER WEST.
Assistant Secretary Nanderlip Has
Been Considering FInns.

Assistant Secretary Vanderlp has re-
turned to the city from a business trip to
Chicago and the west. Mr.. Vanderlip went
west to look into number of matters for
the treasury. He made some inquiries about
shipping an enormous amount of silver
from Philadelphia to San Francisco by
freight. Owing to an excessive accumula-
ton of silver at the Philadelphia mint, it
has been decided to send about 10000, 600
ounces to the San Francisco mint, prob
ably the first big shipment of silver ever
made from the east to the west. Hereto
fore all the silver has come this way from
the west. Express companies have always
been used for shipments of the precious
metals by the treasury, but the express
charges would be so heavy in this instance
as to warrant an effort to have the work
done cheaper
Mr.. Vanderlip said today that he had not
decided whether he would use freight or
express, although he is satisfied the silver
can be carried by freight safely as by
express and a good deal cheaper
The silver is in bars of from 800 to / 600
pounds, and cannot be handled easily by
robbers. AS there will be 625, coo pounds
of the metal, long freight train-probably
two-would be required. The treasury
would send a detail to guard the train, and
would have no fear of loss by robbery. The
only possibility of loss is by the dropping
of the train through bridge into some
river, but this is too remote to be consid-
cred.

DEMAND FOR RELEASE.
Less Pressure for Mastering Out the
Volunteers.

The pressure for the mastering ont of
the volunteer regiments has not been so
great since senators and representa- tives In
Congress have found that the admir- istra-
ton is determined rot to further reduce
the United States forces. It was at one
time asserted that the pressure from con-
gressmen would be SO great that the ad-
ministraticn could not resist It. ard that
from 40.0o0 to 5000 more troops would he
mustered out. The supposition was that
the reduction would be found necessary as
a political move, and to satisfy those peo-
pie who were afraid that their relatives
and friends in the army were not being
We'll treated. For more than two weeks
the War Department has resisted all prcs-
sure for mastering out regiments. The re-
quests from those who want troops mus
tered out are of individual cases, where
the illness of the soldier or other excep-
ticnal causes arc made the basis of petition
to the War Department for his release. The
department is liberal I'm this matter as
possible. yet no action is taken without
consultation with the colonel Of the regt-
ment and the commanding officer of the
corps. With the advent OF cooler weather,
the Improvement of the health of the
camps and the prospective movement Of
troops to Cuba, II is believed that the de-
mand from the troops to be mustered out
will be greatly lessened.

Spend Considerable Money.
Assistant Secretary Allen, who has been
directly in charge of the arrangements
maze with the wrecking companies for
raising suck of the Spanish warships sunk
or stranded in the battle of July 3 as can
be recovered said this morning referring
to Lieut.. HObson's work on the Teresa
that the Navy Department had given the
young constructor all of the assistance
which it possible to extend In the pros
ecutiOn of his work
Moreover, it now proposed to give him
further aid in his effort to raise the Colon,
by far the finest ship of the Spanish squad
ron Whatever credit has been earned by
Constructor Hobson by reason of the Te-
resa would, in the opinion of Mr.. Allen, be
largely exceeded if the attempt to raise the
Colon results successfully. In the case of
this ship the constructor has pledged his
professional reputation against the unani-
nous opinion of all of the expert Wreckers
who have examined the ship. Yet the Navy
Department - unhesitatingly supporting
HobsOn's judgment, as is indicated by the
fact that yesterday it shipped from New
York $4,000 worth of specially manufac-
tured rubber air bags, to be used in lifting
the Colon. Aside from the sentimental rea-
son for sparing no effort to save this ship
the Navy Department is satisfied from the

THE COPPER RIVER REGION.
commander Sebree's Report to the
Navy Department.

Inc Navy Department has received a re-
port from Commander Sebree of the gunboat
wheeling, dated Orca, Alaska. September
y, giving general outline of the conditions
at Naldes and Orca. in the neighborhood Of
the gold deposits on Prince William sound
which contains information valuable to
miners because of its authentic and official
character.
The commander says that he found 500
persons at Valdes on the 9th of September
about 300 of whom were keeping stores
restaurants and so forth. There were about
200 returning miners, and they were COM
ing Dack every day at the rate of from two
to fifteen. About 1900 persons went in over
the glacier and up the Copper river and
there are probably about / Zoo persons now
IN the interior many of whom are building
log houses and arranging to stay all win
ter. In the interior provisions are plenti-
ful. Men returning sell their outfits so
that provisions, clothing, etc, over the
glacier are selling at less than half Seattle
prices. AT Valdes about Go of the return
ing miners were being fed by the govern
ment, quartermaster's clerk being in
charge of the government depot during the
absence of Capt. Abercrombe in the inter-
ior. These men say that they have no
money and are required to work about two
hours day on the government reservation.
AT the hotel kept by the agent of the steam
whaling company about 50 men were being
agents offer to employ men at 81. 30 per day
the money TO be used to pay the passage of
forty to Seattle. Provisions a. Ealdes could
be bought at about half Seattle prices and
one tradesman was about to ship back a
lot of provisions that he had bought from
returning miners to sell at Seattle at a
profit.
Before the winter sets in from 200 to 500
miners We're expected to return from the
coast to the interior. Some of these have
no money and are asking If the government
Is about to send ship to take them out
Miners are crossing the glacier in from
twelve to fifteen hours.
In conclusion, Commander Sebree says
that possibly 80 per cent of the miners on
the coast have no money. Judging by the
prices of provisions at Valdes and from in
formation given by the miners there are
at Naldes and in the interior plenty of pro-
visions for the winter for all the miners in
the Copper river country, so there is no
danger of starvation.

PEOPLE FLEEING FOR LIFE
Forest Fires in Northwestern Colorado All
Beyond Control
Relieved by Settlers That the Fires
Were Started by the Ute
Indians.

IDAHO SPRINGS, Col, September "a
Forest fires burning on the west side of
the Divide are beyond control and people
said to be fleeing for their lives.
How many. if any. have perished cannot
be known, as there is way of getting
direct information at this time.
A light breeze gives the mighty sea of
fire a new impetus ard onward it goes,
burning everything before it, with no
chance of saving live stock or property.
Cattle are known to be perishing. and bear
and deer and other wild animals are run
ming to the east side of the Divide.
The damage will be tremendous. The
timber losses amount to more than money
consideration. These forests cover the
head waters of mountain streams, where
the SHOWS are retained for many months.
From such source the streams have been
kept arryinG a vo.ume of water sufficient
to irrigate most of the lands of the state
west of the Divide. With the disappear
ance of the timber the flow of the streams
will be lessened.
There seems to be a settled opinion among
the ranchers that the forest fires were
started by Ute InCians with malicious in
tent. They say the forcible etectment CT
the lnfians and their return to the reserva-
tiCn rcOre than year ago, because of their
slaughter of game. made them bitter
against the whites. They are now playing
even, the settlers think. and at the same
llne driving some CT the game into Utah,
whore they can hunt without being molest-
ed by game WarGers
Henry Grom, one of the ranchers living
at TCponas Egeria Park. arrived here to-
Gay from the burning country. He said:
The Gore range is on fire for more than
100 miles. The fires have been burning
there for some time. and for the past few
weeks nave been getting worse. Fires are
also seen in Grand county, near Kremm-
ling. The ranchers are fighting the flames,
and when l left were experiencing great
loss in all kinds of property"
The fires which are reported cover most
OF the northwestern part of the state ani
extend through the counties of Routt Rio
Blanco, Grand. Larimer. Garfield, Eagl
Pitkin and Summit. They are doing great
Camase to every interest of that section.
