men, with Lieut.. Boyle, and all crawled
to the Filipino intrenchment on their
hands and knees surprising the insur-
gents and repulsing them with such great
loss that they stopped troubling our
troops.
Lieut.. Meade received honorable mention
for the part he took in this affair. He was

$1,000 ACRES BURNED OVER.
Fire Havoc in Dismal swamp Section
Wild Animals Driven Out.

Speclsi 20 The washington Post
Suffolk, Va, Sept. 20.-An investigation
Of the Dismal Swamp fire completed this
afternoon shows that at least 1900 acres
of forest land were burned over. The
blaze has not been extinguisbed yet, but
its course is seemingly checked.
No intelligent estimate can be made con-
cerning the damage to pine and juniper
timber. owing to the cOmbustible nature
of the swamp soil, which, in some places,
resembles peat. Great excavations have
been burned into the earth.
Deer, bears, wildcats, and other animals
have abandoned their haUnts and either
sough, safety by fleeing TO the highlands
or have been driven further into the fast
Desses of the swamp.
The theory has been advanced that the
peculiar species of wolf which has been
preying on the stock Of North Carolina
farmers was forced from the Dismal
Swamp by the fire. Two of the wolves,
taken alive, have been sent to Delaware
Park, and another younger one was ship
ped to Franklin, with a view to domestiea-
ton. The animals are similar to the
coyote.
Lake Drummond, normally eight miles
across, has been shrunken to much small
er proportions by the protraeted drought.
