Denver, Colo, Aug. 27.-Forest fires.
which it is thought were started from
camp fires, are raging on the foothills
near the entrance to Platte canyon,
about twenty miles south of here. The
fires started five miles up the canyon
and burned over the mountains on
both sides of the canyon and are now
devastating the timber section along
the foothills.
There are a number of ranches in
the vicinity and several of them have
been slightly damaged by the fires. At
one time today they were threatened
with destruction. The town of Deer
Creek was also in danger, but the wind
changed its course and drove the flames
back to the hills.
Tonight the fires are burning fiercely
and the wind being slight, are gradu-
ally creeping toward Deer Creek again.
The fires illuminate the sky, and are
plainly visible from the outskirts of
Denver.
Millions of feet of timber have been

COMPLIMENT TO AMERICANS.
Lord Kitchener's Address at the
Opening of the Atbara Bridge.

Cairo. Aug. G.-In the course of his
speech yesterday at the opening of the
Atbara bridge. which was constructed by
Philadelphia firm. after competition
with British firms for the contract. the
sirdar. Lord Kitchener of Khartoum, said:
The construction of this magnificent
bridge, l think, may fairly be consid-
cred record achievement. So far as
the failure of the effort to place the con-
structlon order in England is concerned
| think it demonstrates that the relations
between labor and capital there are not
sufficient to give confidence to the cap
italist and to induce him to take the risk
or establishing up-to-Gate workshops that
would enable Great Britain to maintain
her position as the first constructing ma
ton in the world.
But as Englishmen failed. l am de-
lighted that our cousins across the At
lantic stepped in. This bridge is due TO
their energy. ability and power to turn
out works of magnitude in less time than
anybody else. L congratulate the Amer
leans on the successful erection of a
bridge in the heart of Africa. They have
shown real grit far from home. in the
hottest month of the year. and depend
ing upon the labor of foreigners"

WATCH FOR A HURRICANE.
Washington Weather Bureau Keep
ing Eve On West Indian Cyclone.

Washington. Aug. 27.-Ofhcials of the
weather bureau are not yet able to pre-
dict the extent to which the cyclone re-
ported south of Martinique will de-
velop. At present the information re-
ceived indicates only a slight disturb
ance south of San Domingo. The local
ity affected now, however, is entirely
outside of the scope of the reporting
stations, and until the storm moves
further north, it will be impossible to
determine its extent. By tomorrow
morning the expectation is the storm
may reach the vicinity of Santiago,
when more definite data may be OBJ
tanned.
Careful watch is being kept by the
weather bureau of its progress, and
should a severe blow come prompt
warning will be given by the service,
as in the case of the hurricane several
days ago. The storm is now in the
Caribbean sea, and the officials say the
present indications are that it will not
be serious in effect.

THE STRIKE AT HAVANA.
Situation Is Causing Much Alarm
Among the Citizens.

Havana, Aug. 27.-The strike in Havana
is beginning to cause genuine alarm
among among the citizens, as it is sup
posed that the bakers will go out tomor-
row as they have threatened. A strike on
their part would cause a good deal of
hardship, as few private households have
facilities for baking their own bread.
The hackmen also threaten to strike
within the next few days if the strike Of
the masons does not soon terminate. The
merchants say everything is ripe for a
strike that would mean Il genuine tie-uD
of business for fortnight. as majority
of the employees who have had work for
some months have saved money and want
a rest A sympathy strike would give
them their opportunity.
Senior Perfecto Lacoste, the mayor and
General Rafael Cardenas, chief of police.
are doing all in their power to persuade
the bakers not to go out.
