New York, Oct. 9.-Mayor Van Wyck

TROOPS FOR GARRISON DUTY.
Congress Expected to Give Relief to
Volunteers.

Washington, Oct. 3.-The war depart
ment has decided TO send more troops
to Puerto Rico. Orders have been is
sued directing that the Fifth regiment
cavalry, now at Huntsville, Ala; the
Sixth United States volunteer infantry,
now at Chickamauga; and the Forty
seventh New York, now at Fort Adams,
shall proceed to such point in Puerto
Rico as may be desired by the COM
manding general in that island. The
Eighth United States volunteer infantry
and two companies of the Indiana col
ored volunteers. now at Fort Thomas,
KY, will relieve the Sixth volunteer in
fantry at Chickamauga.
All the troops at Camp Meade will
soon be ordered to points in the south.
Some of them may go to Cuba, but the
majority will for the present occupy the
new camps recently selected in Georgia
and South Carolina. 1t is expected that
the troops sent to garrison Cuba will
mot remain long, but when they have
seen service for a few months will re-
turn to this country. The same is prob
ably true as to Puerto Rico.
1t is also intimated that when the
troops return the volunteers will be
given 60 days furlough and be muster
ed out. By that time congress will
have had an opportunity to determine
soning the new possessions.
This determination is no doubt due
to pressure that has been brought by
members of congress for the mastering
out OF the volunteers from their states
and districts. 50
The responsibility for furnishing
troops for garrison duty and for army
duty generally will be upon congress.
The recommendations of the president
and the war department will have been
made before the troops return from
either Cuba or Puerto Rico and the
necessity of tie case made known.
Although there has been less pressure
for the mastering out of volunteers
since the announcement was made that
the troops could not be spared, the de-
mand continues with sufficient persist
ence to convince the war officials that
a reorganization of the army will be ne
cessary and that some arrangements
will have to be made to secure a force
for garrison service in the islands and
the states, which will not be subject to
the same difficulties experienced in the
case of volunteers. Although this pres
sure for the muster-out of certain regi-
ments is not so great, the demand for
the discharge of individuals has over
whelmed the department. There is not
a senator or representative scarcely
who has not presented requests of this
kind. and there is a constant demand
for the discharge of one man or an
other upon some preteXt, which would
it is said, not be deemed valid in the
case of men in the regular army.
Personal appeals are made by faith
ers, mothers, wives, sisters and sweet
hearts. Every man in the department

FOREST FIRES IN WYOMING
CARBON COUNTY TIMBER SAVED
BY HARD WORK.
Agent of the Interior Department
Employed Large Number ofMen
to Fight the Flames.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Oct. Especial
Agent Abbott Of the interior depart
ment, returned from Carbon county,
where he was engaged for three weeks
in fighting forest fires along the 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 a
large number of ranchmen, who vol
uateered 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
a comparatively small area. Had the
fire on Bald mountain crossed to the
east of the mountain tract of mag
ni1icent 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 he was working Mr.. Alb
bolt states that the immense fires
around Hahn's Peak could be plainly
seen. The Colorado fires are driving
large numbers of deer and antelope
north into Wyoming.
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 stationed in the gov
ernment timber reserves of that Sec
ton.
COLORADO FIRES CHECKED.
Denver, Colo, Oct. 3.-Reports re-
ceived today from various points in the
regions where forest fires have been
spreading for a week or two past, are
to the effect that the fires have been
checked in many places by snow and
rain. In the vicinity of Glenwood
Springs the fires are almost entirely
eXtinguisbed.
Idaho Springs reports that the fires
on the west slope of the divide are
pretty nearly under control and there
is now not much danger of their reach
ing the east slope. However, the fires
viii shoulder for weeks and another
dry spell, followed by winds, might re-
vive the flames. Hundreds Of miles of
fine timber have been laid waste in the
mountains TO the west of Middle Park
and some ranches have been destroyed
A Le2dville dispatch says: A light
snowfall appears TO have somewhat
checked the forest fires that were
threatening some or the mining sec
tions of this county. The snow was en-
tirely too light to eXtinguish the flames,
and unless another storm comes within
the next IS hours it is feared that much
damage viii be done in Lake park and
other sections.
E. A. Julian, superintendent of the
United States FISH hatchery at Lead
vile, says that criminal careIessness
and inexcusable negligence on the part
of campers are responsible for nine
tenths of the present forest fires.

to the navigation of the ship. 1t was 10
