COLORADO FIRES STILL RAGE.
With No Prospect for Rain
to Check Them.

DENVER. COL, Sept. 30.-Reports from
the western portion of the state continue
to tell of the ravages of the forest fires,
which bid fair to devastate the greater part
of the forests of the state. A special from
Glenwood Springs, the center of the burn
ing 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 oc-
Cured up to the present time
The stock on the range, as far as heard
from, has escaped the fire.
A special from Kokomo. Col, says:
Forest fires are raging on every hand
here Sheep mountain, on the north side,
is a mass of flames, which reach within
a quarter of a mile of this camp. Great
apprehension is felt here for the safety OF
the town The origin of the fire here is
supposed to be sparks from engines
a special from Montrose, Col, says:
1.-The forest fires southeast of town about
twenty-five miles have now reached large
proportions. and can be plainly seen from
town. The range between Hairpin mesa
and Saw Tooth mountain is nearly devas-
tated."
The weather man can offer no hope for
those on the western slope whose homes
and crops are threatened by the fires.
There are no indications whatever of rain,
and this seems to be the only element
able to stay the flames fury.
Throughout Eagle county, high winds
have prevailed. giving a fresh impetus to
the forest fires that are devastating the
timber domain. In consequence, new ter
ritory is being devoured. The blaze is
rapidly extending along the Grand reserves
on Girard mountain, west OF Homestake
creek. and from present appearances Will
sweep the country to Bear mountain, al
| Minturn.
Back of NIinturn to the heads of Willow
| and Two Elk the country is devastated,
| little remaining to feed the flames. From
| Hoosier mountain the wind has driven the
| fire to the edge of Gypsum creek. The set
| tiers of Upper Gypsum, Cannon, Collins
| and others are fighting desperately to save
| their homes and stop its passage across
| into the magnificent forests OF West brush.
| If it gets into the brush. the finest body
! of timber in the state Is gone. No loss of

| All the game is leaving the country to

MANILA NOT UNHEALTHFUL.
No More Than Forty of Dewey's 1000
Men Have Been Sick at
One Time.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-Admiral Dewey
APPEARS to have been lucky in preserving
ththealth of his sailors, and in that matter
heeven exceeded the record of the North
Atlantic squadron. Secretary Long to-day
mde public short extract from the ad-
miars last report, treating of this subject,
I'm which, while dealing with the general
climatic conditions of the Philippines, for
th.information of the government, he says
of The sailors and troops:
sAs Iuzon is the farthest north of the
lare islands, its climate is naturally the
mdt temperate. In this connection ii may
be mentioned that, out of a force of over
2O1 on the ships OF my squadron, the
number of men on the sick list at any
tiur has not exceeded forty, nor has there
been any considerable sickness among our
IRONS on shore, though they were much
exposed for three weeks in the trenches
duing the rainy season. AS a matter OF
fat Manila is far from being an un-
be.lthful city and the climate is as fine as
that of any place in the tropics"

not as bad as for several days previous;
but the smoldering embers may be famed
into an awful confagration by the Slight
est wind. The fires around Aspen are
working down the mountain side toward
town, although they are not burning with
the force they have been.
Reliable reports show that the fires are
now nearly 800 miles in circumference, with
Glerwood for q center. and practically
every mountain range with timber Is
ablaze.
The only cessation of the fire that is re-
ported comes from Cottonwood and Four
Mile creeks, where the flames have con-
sumed everything that will burn on the
mountain sides.
On the south side of the Rio Grande, from
MInturn to Glenwood. the railroad reports
a steady blaze of fire plainly visible from
the smaller valleys. Many ranches have
been abandoned.
J. S. Swan, game commissioner, states
that there is no doubt but that the fires
are caused by carelessness of campers and
people generally during a season of excep-
tional dryness.
Colonel w. T. S. May. chief United States
forester has gone to the West slope to in.
spect the country under government control
where fires are burning.

About forty witnesses testified. The court

the first degree. but the state has not
made a strong case. The defense proved
that Evilsizer had repeatedly threatened
Herndon's life, and that Evilsizer cursed
him whenever they met. An attempt was
made this afternoon to prove that Hern-
don had made improper proposals to an
adopted sister of EvilsiZer's wife. and that
that was what led to the killing. This
was excluded by the court as incompetent
and irrelelatve. The courtroom has been
