by Careless Campers.

Glenwood Springs, Col, Aug. IA
For hundred miles in each direction

numerous are the fires IN the forest

The rangers state emphatically that

SAVED BY GEN. WHEELER.
The Young Son OF william Jennings Bryan
Saved from n Shocking Death
by Gen. Wheeler.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Gen. Joseph
Wheeler, commander of the depart
ment of the lakes, yesterday saved
the life of William Jennings Bryan,
Jr.. the 12-year-old son of the demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency.
The lad visited Gen. Wheeler, and the
latter, after his first greeting, turned
to his work, and allowed the young
ster to amuse himself as best he
might.
Young Bryan found a loose chair
caster and a big bundle of rubber
bands. These he tied into a long
string, and then, securing the caster
to the bottom went to window and
began bouncing the piece of iron up
and down on the sidewalk, IS feet
below.
The general, engrossed with his Ia
oors, paid no attention to the boy,
who gradually became so interested
in his play that he leaned farther AMI
farther out of the easement of the
window.
Fighting Joe" happened to glance
up few moments later and was hor-
rified to see the lad hanging with his
whole body over the sidewalk and
only the toes of his shoes visible.
clutching the angle of the window. He
sat aghast for a moment. And then,
rushing to the window, he pulled the
lad in by his legs and landed him
safely on the floor.
Speaking of the occurrence after
ward, Gen. Wheeler acknowledged
that young Bryan was within an inch
of being dashed to death.

Washington, Aug. l5.--A high ofi-
cial said that the indemnity which the
United States would demand for
every American citizen killed or
MANNED by the Chinese during the
present trouble would be sufficient to
comfortably to support their families
for the remainder of their lives.
Nh Chinese Territory wanted.
This government does not want .

demnity," said the Official. who il
close to the president. There Is but
one indemnity which they can give
our people, and that is a monetary in
demnity to the families of their
American victims. For every one Of
these, China must pay sufficient sum
to keep their families from want dur
ing their lives.
VIII Exact Assurances.
This government will exact assur.
ances of satisfactory.ch character that
such state of affairs as now exists
in China shall not again occur. The
nature of these assurances will be de-
termined later. The collection of in
demnity may prove difficult, and Il
may be decided-although so far the
proposition has not been considered
to station warships in the harbors OF
the principal cities and officials within

protect the interests of the United
States. II need be. by taking charge

serious than anticipated. 1t now an
pears that IL persons were killed and

The disaster was caused by the tel

The engine of the first section became
disabled and stopped. and was almost
immediately afterwards struck by the

New York, Aug. 15.-Mr. Hunting
tons death had little effect on the
general stock market. Even his own
stocks, chief among which was South
ern Pacific, was hardly disturbed.
Some large lots of Southern Pacific
came out in the initial transactions,
but they were promptly taken by
banking interests known to represent
the late millionaire, ana as a result
the price of Southern Pacific soon ral-
lied from its one point decline. 1t

About Sixty Cases in the City at
Present, Four of Them
Being Americans.
NEW ARRIVALS PRINCIPAL SUFFERERS.
The Cases Principally Conaned to
the New City, and Men of the SAM
itary and Street Cleaning Depart
ment are Actively at work In the
Infected District

New York, Aug. IA dispatch to
The Herald from Havana SAYS:
August opened with 35 cases of yell
low fever in Havana. There are 80
cases in the city now, four of the vic
tins being Americans.
Thirty Deaths In July.
There were 30 deaths from the fever
during July. Up to Sunday the num-
Der of deaths this month was IL. Yel-
low fever cases this year have been
principally confined to the locality Just
west of Central park. known as the
new city. Scarcely any eases have ap-
peared in what has heretofore been
known as the yellow belt" in the
vicinity of the arsenal and the
wharves.
How IL IL Accounted For.
Tbs is accounted for by some OBJ
servers by the fact that a great
amount of sanitary work was done in
the old part of the city last year, and
electrical disinfectants have been con-
tinualiy USED there.
Confidence is expressed by the au-
thorities that there will be no general
fever epidemic, as immunes are widely
scattered. The condition is regarded
as nominal, compared with other
years, when immigration reached ths
present figures.
Largely Confined TO Newcomers.
The cases are largely confined 10
Spaniards and Canary islanders. many
of whom have come to Havana in the
last six months.
1t is expected the cases will average
one day during August. This IS
usually the worst month for yellow
fever.
Work In the Infected District.
Men of the sanitary and street clean.
ing departments are actively at work
in the infected district. Col. Black las
ordered the electrozone plant run night
and day. All suspected cases are sent
Immediately TO hospitals. Marine hos
pital service officials insist that all
baggage for the United States shall
be disinfected. Usually this is re-
quired only for baggage going to
southern states.
No yellow fever cases are reported
among the American soldiers.

SCION OF THE HOUSE OF SAVOY
Courage and Kindness of the Young
king-WOrthy Son of an
HOnOred Sire.

Rome, Aug. 1.-THE police have or
dered the arrest of two men for neg
lecting to make the regulation sig
nails to stop the second portion of the
tram.
The entire press speaks of the
courage of the king in going alone
among his people in order to succor
the victims of the accident and in
driving in a simple cab with the
queen, thus showing, as one journal
puts it, sArmness and GOODNESS in con-
formity with the traditions of the
house of Savoy"

Situation of the Country.
Washington, Aug. 15.-While the
war department has no specific in
formation as to the future move
ments of Gen. Chaffee, il is thought
that he may have covered the 20 miles
between Ho-Si-Wu and Tung-Chow.
The Pei river makes a great bend be-
tween Ho-Si-Wu and Matow, the next
town of Importance on the road. 1t ID
a low, marshy country, where the riv-
er doubles back on itself in it's effort
to get forward. The road here cuts
across the country reducing about
twenty-five miles of boat travel to II
miles of deep and almost impossible
road journey through swamps and
quagmires. This country presents no
defensive features, but about eight
miles beyond Matow comes the inn
portant city of Ching -Chai-Wan. Thi
is strong defensive point. where the
Chinese will make a stand If they
make ii at all this side of Pekin.
From Ching-Chai-Wan il is prac-
tically all a continuous city for the
next three miles, until the walled
town of Tung Chow is reached. Here
are stored the immense supplies of
grain on which Pekin would depend in
case of siege. The city would be al
most as hard to carry as was Tien
Tsin, possibly more so, owing to the
labyrinth of streets and houses out
side it's walls, where in case of de-
termined resistance, mines and am
buscades of all sorts would naturally
be encountered at every street corner.
In case a determined stand is made
by the Chinese at this point there is
no question that the international col
umn would be forced TO wait for all
the reserve force it can command.
But the officials here are very much
in hope that China will come 10 rea-
sonable terms before our forces are
committed to the extremity of fore
ing this key TO the gates of Pekin.
