Loss by Forest Fires.

Washington, D. C.-The former official
estimate of the wooded area of the United
States, placed at 26 per cent, has been
raised to 81 per cent by the latest CON-
putations Of the division of geography
and forestry Of the United States geo.
logical survey. That Office has issued a
bulletin containing new figures on Amer
lean forests, some of which tend to prove
the national timber resources greater than
is supposed.
The two latest states to be examined
are Oregon and Washington. The former
is estimated to contain 234,653 million
feet, B. NJ, in standing timber; the lat
ter, HATS million feet. Destruction by
fire has been exceedingly serious in Wash
ington. On the assumption that the
burned areas contained on an average as
much timber as the untouched portion,
10000 million feet have been destroyed
since numbering began. This amount
would supply all the saw mills of the
United States for two years, and at a
value of only rs cents thousand, means
a dead loss to the state of $30,OOO,O00.
The amount actually logged in the same
period has been $4,000 million feet, max
ing the estimate by the same comparison
of areas. Oregon has suffered less from
both fire and numbering, owing to the
smaller facilities for marketing the pro-
duct.
Investigation of the causes, effects and
means of prevention of forest fires in the
west, will be carried on this summer in
Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona,
New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming
Montana, Idaho, South Dakota. Besides
field study, designed chiefly to discover
means of preventing the evil, the division
is making historic record of all import.
ant fires which have occurred in the
United States since 1854. Although YET
incomplete, this indicates that the annual
recorded loss by forest burnings in the
United States, is, at the very lowest
$2O,OOO,OOO. 1t will probably run fal
above this sum- as the Pacific coast state:
have been only partially examined. Ac
counts of over $500 disastrous fires have
been obtained in the II states already ex

Cronje Sent to Cape Town.

London, March 1.-The war office has
received the following dispatch from Lord
Roberts:
'fPaardeberg, Feb. 2s.-General Cronje,
with his family, left here in charge of
Major General Prettyman and under es-
cort of the City Imperial volunteers and
mounted infantry. Later i'll the day the
remaining prisoners went in charge of
Earl Enroll and escorted by the Gloucesters
and 100 Imperial volunteers. The women
and children are being sent to their homes.
81 inspected the Boer lager yesterday
and was much struck by the ingenuity
and energy with which the position was
made almost impregnable."

beers WILL FIGHT It OUT
THEIR CAUSE Is RIGHTEOUS
Says That Past Victories Have
shown It-Kruger Appeals to the
Burghers to stand Fast sin the
Name of the Lord"

London, March Ga special to the
Times from Lorenzo Marquee says that
persistent reports continue that the Trans
vaal republic has opened negotiations look
ing to the securing of peace. On the 9TH
er hand it is asserted that the Beers will
make stand at Glencoe and Laings Mex
and that in the meantime the entrench-
ments at Pretoria are being extended in
anticipation of a siege. A conference be-
tween the Boer presidents, it is added,
and the generals commanding the Beers
in northern Natal was hurriedly arranged
on account of the news of Cronje's surren-
der.
Beers Trust in the Lord.
Until Thursday night official confrma-
ton of the surrender was withheld from
the public. Kruger sent religious appeal
with orders that it should be read by all
officers to the burghers, urging them to
stand fast and strive in the name of the
Lord, for unless they had faith in Him,
cowardice would set in and their position
would be hopeless the moment they turned
their backs on the enemy. Their past
victories, he declared, showed that the
Lord was on their side. The president be-
seeched the burghers not to bring destruc-
ton on their progeny.
Last Stand in the TransvaaI.
Continuing, the special says that high
authority in Bloemfontein declares that in
the event of the repulse of Free State
forces, the latter will retire towards the
Transvaal and, united with their brethren
there, maintain the struggle to the last
The Boer casualties at Colenso during
the week ending February rs are reported
to be 81 men killed and 1870 wounded.
Next Move in Doubt.
London, March 6.-There are now
practically three British armies in the
field, one in the Free State, one in Cape
Colony and one in Natal. All that is
known about the first and most important
is that it is in close touch with body
OF Beers, estimated to the number Of
about 5000 men. Speculation as to the
direction and method of Roberts advance
into the Free State is quite worthless, SO
carefully are the plans concealed.
In Cape Colony.
In Cape Colony General Brabant and
General Clements command two horns OF
the army, while Gatacre holds the main
Boer force in check. Gatacre and Glen.
ents will probably combine and advance
on Bloemfontein with Brabant, guarding
the right flank with the mobile colonials
This movement will be subsequent to Sc
curing line of communication along the
lines of the Free State railroads, which,
according to the latest dispatches, seems
almost accomplished.
| Relief of Matching Comes Next.
As incident to the British main objec-
tive, which at least is clearly outlined to
be Pretoria, the relief Of Mafeking by
force from the south may be expected
any day, Colonel Plumers force on the
north seeming incapable of accomplish
ing it.
The unexpected activity of the Cape
Dutch and the reported likelihood of fight
ing between them and the Basutos aided
by other tribes having grudge against
the Beers, is regarded as rather ominous
