DEWEY's SAILORS HEALTHY.
The Admiral Again Shows Himself to
Be Naval Commander Par Excellence.

Washington, September 3o.-Admiral
Dewey seems to have been lucky in pre-
serving the health of hisssailors and in
that respect has even exceeded the record
of the North Atlantic squadron.
q Secretary Long today made public a
short extract from the admiraPs last re-
port treating on this subject in which
while dealing with the general climatic
conditions of the Philippines for the in
formation of the government, he says OF
the sailors and troops:
LAS 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 1000 on the ships of my squadron the
number of men on the sick list at any
time has not exceeded 40, nor has thsre
been any considerable sickness among the
troops OF shore, though they are much
exposed for three weeks in the trenches
during rainy season. As a matter of fact
Manila is far from being an unhealthy
city and the climate is as fine as that OF
any place in the tropics.

FORMING ARMY FOR CUBA.
Movement Of Troops Begins About
October 18th.
HAVANA CUSTOM HOUSE WELL BE
SEIZED AT EARLY DATE.

Conduct of Spanish Customs officers Not
at All Satisfactory to President-see-
retary Hay Attended Cabinet Meeting
For First Time.
Washington, September 30-The cabinet
meeting today was devoted largely to
matters in detail in connection with the
formation Of the army which is to be sent
to Cuba. Reports were read to the effect
that by October Is, the danger from yell
low fever will have passed. and it is
understood that the movement of the
troops will be begun at that time. The
conduct of the Spanish customs officers
at Havana is very unsatisfactory to the
President. and it is said to have been de-
cided to take possession of the custom
house there at an early date. Information
has reached the President that the Spanish
authorities at San Juan recently took
possession of and sent to Spain about
$40. 900 belonging to an association of
school teachers. This matter has been
the subject of a protest sent to the
Spanish govern ment. 1t is said to be the
purpose of this government to compel it's
return if possible and if not. vigorous
m easures will be taken to collect it from
the persons responsible for its mis.ap-
preparation.
Secretary Hay attended the Cabinet
meeting today for the first time. There
was also some consideration of the subject
of mastering out comparatively large
number of general officers of the volun-
teer army. Military matters kept Score
tary Alger in conference with the Presi-
dent for three-quarters of an hour after
the rest of the Cabinet had left with in
struotions given to the two commissions
now sitting in the West Indies which pro-
vides, it is stated, for the actual occupa-
tion of Porto Rico in advance of Cuba.

PROHIBITION FAILS.
Majority in Favor in Entire Dominion Not
Over Eighteen Thousand.

Toronto, Ont, September -30.-The ma
jority for prohibition throughout the en-
tire Dominion will not likely exceed 49,
600. All the provinces except Quebec
voted prohibition, Ontario giving it a
majority of about 10, 600. Quebeo's ma
jority against of 40, 600 Is just offset by the
returns from the maritime provinces,
while the returns from Manitoba. the
territories and British Columbia show
that the West is in favor of prohibition by
a majority of 1000 or 5000. Even the
prohibition papers consider tn majority
too small to influence the government to
attempt to enact prohibition legislation.

THE WESTERN FOREST FIRES.
MILES of Country Are Enveloped in
Flames.

Denver, Colo, September 30.-Battle
Mountain government reserve is mass
of flames. This reserve runs through
the counties of Garfield, Delta and Mesa.
The big White River government re-
serve starting in Garfield county and ex-
tending through the Routt and Rio Blan-
co, is also on fire.
Reliable reports show that the fires are
nearly 800 miles in circumference, and
practically every mountain range with
timber is afiame. There appears to bs
no hope of cessation of the confiagration
until it burns itself out, except by heavy
rain.
Minneapolis, Mimi, September 30.-A

The forest tires are still creating great
havoc through this section of the state

LOSSES IN WISCONSIN.
St. Paul, Mimi. September 30.-The
forest fires which have been burning in
various places throughout Wistern Wis
consin for the past few days. were famed
into furious storms of flames by ysster-
days winds and did great damage
throughout Chippwea, Barron, Dunn,
St. Croix and Polk counties. 1t seems
that the villages of Clayton. Alamena
and PosI1in have been wholly or partly
destroyed. and that Cumberland has
suffered heavy loses. Reports of loss of
life are coming in but have not been veri-
fled except IN one instance. A railroad
bridge and trestle over 700 feet long on
the 500 Line west of Barron, was burned
last night and trains are running by an
other route. The Northwestern Lumber
company lost 2 900, 600 feet of logs near
Eau Claire. A rough estimate places the
aggregate loss at from So. coo, 90 to So, 900,
