BUSH FIRES IN AUSTRALIA.
vast Tract Burned over-seven Persons
Perished.

Vancouver. B. c., March 5-The
steamer Aorangi, from Sydney, today
brings an account of the most disas-
trous bush fires in Victoria experienced
in the last 30 years. The entire
Warrnambool district has been devas-
tated, and the damage is estimated at
1000, 900. The fire broke out simulta-
neously in various parts of the colony,
and burned for two days and three
nights, finally burning itself out the
morning of January 81. The whole
country between Dunkeld and Mort
lake is a mass of blackness. Seven
persons perished in the flames, which
swept over a tract 40 miles long and
80 miles wide, consuming 100000
acres OF grass, six wool warehouses,
1000 sheep and / 900 cattle aud horses.
The latest news from Noumea prior
to the sailing of the Aorangi was to the
effect that the plague had again broken
out among tho kanakas. In almost
every case the disease has proven fatal
to the kanakas, but in the majority OF
cases cures are effected among Euro
peans. In five weeks the mortality
has been nine Europeans and 81 kama
kas and Asiatics. So far, owing to
the strict measures taken by the author
tiles to prevent the pest extending to
the country. it has only been reported
at Neponi. The village Of Neponi has
been quarantined. One case of bubonic
plague is reported from Tasmania, and
there was also one case at Sydney, but
both recovered. There was tremend-
ous scare all through the Australian
colonies, and rigorous quarantine regu-
lations have been enforced, with the re-
suit that no other plague cases have
made their appearance.
The coast delenses of New Caledonia
are being strengthened, large sums be-
ing expended in erecting forts on the
hills and in the suburbs of Noumea.
Convicts are being employed in the con-
struction of earthworks and batteries,
These public works, utilizing the serv'
ices of all the convicts, none OF the
latter will for the future be let out to
private enterprise.
The scarcity of labor has necessitated
a cessation of mining operations. The
government has entered into negotia'
tions with the Japanese government sto
bring over 1000 japanese as agricul'
tural laborers, and 5000 for work IN
the mines.

cuBANs ARE ALL RIGHT.
General Wilson Says Contrary Reports
Are Untrue.


Are Untrue.
Matanzas, Cuba, March 7.--General
James II. Wilson, military governor of
the department of Matanzas-santa
Clara, in the course of an interview
today, said:
Trouble is absolutely out OF the
question. The future depends largely
upon the agriculture prosperity; and
where work is plentiful, wages are
good, and a country is prosperous, no
sensible man wishes to alter conditions.
"Any person who publishes reports
representing the Cubans as preparing
rising, does so with malicious intent to
misrepresent them, or because he has
been led to believe this by those who
know better. The prospects OF Cuba
are very bright. II sugar goes to the
United States free or nearly so, there
will be such an influx of capital and Of
immigrants as will render Cuba, ere
long, one of the richest and most pros
porous places in the world.
"The best the United States can do
for Cuba and the Cubans is to give
every opportunity for improving the
value of the land by putting it to the
best uses. In this way capital could do
an immense amount of good here as
we'll as get large returns"
General Wilson suggests supplying
cattle for working purposes on time
basis, accepting regular rates of inter-
est, which should be about per cent a
month.
Cattle" says he, "can be landed
here at cost of $40 yoke, which,
once here, would bring more than
$3.50. Large numbers of working cat
tie are required by reliable and hard
working men who are anxious to OBJ
tain them.n

prevention of Forest Fires.

Washington, March 6. 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, Ari-
zona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado,
Wyoming, Idaho. South Dakota. Be-
sides field study. designed chiefly to
discover means of preventing the evil,
the forestry division is making a his
troic record of all important 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, $40, =
900. 1t will probably run far above
this sum, as the Pacific coast states
have been only partially examined.
Accounts of over $500 disastrous fires
have been obtained in the II states
already examined. Michigan, Minne-
sofa and Wisconsin nave suffered the
most severely.

iured in freight collision today be-
tween two Illinois Central freight

freight train. Both trains were on the
way to Chicago from Western Iowa,
and were made up mostly OF loaded
stock cars with o caboose and passenger
coach for the stockmen. All the pas
sengers were asleep in the day coach.

were thrown violently from their seats
to the floor of the cars. The caboose
telescoped the coach. pinning a number
OF the unfortunate passengers in the
debris.

injured were in great danger OF roast
ing alive. By hard work on the part
OF the uninjured passengers and the
train crew, all were removed in safety.
The cars were almost totally con-
sumed. The wounded were loaded into
an empty box car and taken to Broad

City of Mexico, March 7.--Professor
Marshall Saville, representing the
American museum of natural history
of New York, has left for home, taking
many unique objects discovered by him
at the ruins near the prehistoric City
of Militia, in the state of Oaxaca. The
principal work of the professor was
the uncovering OF many ancient
mounds overgrown with forests to
which road had to be constructed.
Duke dc Loubat, himself interested
in archaeological research, describes
the work of Professor Saville as most
important. Half Of the objects dis
covered go to the Mexican government
under the agreement made previously
Some of the largest cotton mills at
Puebla and Orizaba will suspend oper-
ations for time, owing to the high
price of cotton, and will sell off accu-

Refined sugar production for the re-
public last year amounted to over so,
600 tons and the unrefined to more
than double that amount. There will
be large increased production this

Secretary Long Submits a Statement to
Congress.

Secretary Long Submits Statement TO
Congress.
Washington, March 5.-Secretary
Long has made a statement to the house
naval committee ON the general needs
of the navy and the desirability of not
building new ships in government
yards. AS to the new ships, he held to
his recommendation at the time con-
gress met, namely, three armored cruis-
ers of about $4,000 tons each, with the
heaviest armor and most powerful ord
nance; IL gunboats of about 900 tons
each, three protected cruisers of about
5000 tons each. As to building war
ships in our navy yard, Mr.. Long said
they cost much more than those built
under contract, and took twice as long
to build them.
Admiral Dewey suggested to the COM
mittee that it leave off the IL gunboats
and give three new battleships instead.
He said that the battleships would be
more servlceable, as General Otis had
Just purchased IA gunboats, and had
turned them over to the navy. They
were in fair condition, and the admiral
said that from his experience, ne
thought they were lust the vessels
needed for service in the Philippines.

Washington, March 7.-Carter dealt
vigorously with the Quay case in the
senate today, in the course of an ex-
planatin as to why he will vote for the
ex-senator from Pennsylvania, notwith-
standing that he voted against the seat
ing of Corbett in the last congress.
The near approach of the time of voting
ON the conference report on the tinan-
cial bill brought out two speeches on
that measure, one by Fairbanks and
the other by Butler. Thomas X. Bard,
recently elected senator from Cali

his colleague, Perkins. Later the oath
was administered by President Pro
Tenn. Frye.
Considerable miscellaneous business,
much OF minor character, was trans
acted in the house today. During the
consideration of bill to incorporate
the Frederick Douglass Memorial and
Historical Association, the speaker and
Bailey, Of Texas, exchanged sharp
words, and the latter filibustered and
ultimately prevented the final passage
of the bill by demanding the reading OF
the engrossed bill. The bill proposes
to collect at the residence of the late
Frederick Douglass, in this city, a rec
