Admiral Dewey VIII Send the Baltimore
and the Petrol to Watch Over AM
erican Interests.

Washington, Oct 3.-Secretary Long,
upon advices received at the state de-
partment showing the existence OF
threatening conditions in China, has
ordered Admiral Dewey to send two
warships Immediately from Manila to
a point as near the Chinese capital as
possible for warship to approach.
The vessels selected for this undertake
ing are the Baltimore and the Petrol.
II is expected that the Baltimore will
not be able TO get beyond the Taxa
forts at the entrance of the Pang He
river. upon which Pellin is situated
but the Petrol, being of much smaller
proportions, may be able to reach Tien
Tsin, so miles above The mouth, and
about the same distance below Pekin.
The officials regret that there is not
now on the Asiatic squadron light
draught gunboat of The Helena class
which could ascend the river as far
rs the Chinese capital.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Oct. Especial
Agent Abbott of the interior depart
ment has returned from Carbon coun-
ty, where he was engaged for three
weeks in fighting forest fires along
west side of Bald mountain. the east
and west sides of the Platte valley.
near Bennett, on the head of Spring
creek. the forks of the encampment
river and around Battle lake.
Mr.. Abbott's force consisted of n
large number of ranchmen who volun-
teered for the work, and 20 men whom
he hired The country where some of
the fires were burning is rough and
mountainous, and it was necessary to
use pack animals to reach it.
With great difficulty the various
fires were put out. and their ravages
confined TO comparatively small
area. Had the fire on Bald mountain
crossed to the east side of the noun
tain, tract of magnificent timber %
miles long would have been DESTROYED.
The department of the interior au-
thorized Mr.. Abbott to spare no ex-
pense in eXtinguishing the Carbon
county fires. From where ne was
working, Mr.. Abbott states, that the
immense fires around Hahn's peak,
Col, could be plainly seen. The Colo
RADIO fires are driving large numbers
OF deer and antelope north into Wy

Word has been received that the big
forests of northern Uinta county,
south of the Yellowstone national
park, are burning. These fires will be
put out by the forest rangers sta

THE AMERICAN HOG.
Allowed to Get in His Trichinous Work on
Our German Cousins Because of
Their own Careiessness

Berlin, Oct. A most important
revelation regarding American pork
was made by the German govern
ment's announcement in the semi-offi-
cial press yesterday that it has re-
ceived information that American pork
has entered Germany without certi-
ficate.
Inquiry made at the United States
embassy confirms the report that the
discovery had been made. Thousands
of tons of American pork have been inn
ported through number of custom
houses for years past without cert;fi-
Gates. The German government was
ignorant of the fact and denied it, un-
ii | overwhelming evidence was OBJ
tanned and submitted by the embassy s
scientific attache, Mr.. Smith. The en-
bassy has requested the foreign office
to instruct the customs houses to in
sist in every case upon certificate.
No American firm is implicated in
these importations, which explain the
alleged discovery of trichina in
American pork. German dealers in
American pork offered in July last a
reward of 1000 marks for case of
human trichinosis due to American
pork, and three months have passed
without anybody claiming the money.
