MaN-HUNT INFECTION.

For prudential reasons the proposed
nan-hunt was called off, but our bright
Young men were unwilling that such a
promising news item should be lost, and
so they haze given in to-day's paper a
graphic account of the hunt as it would
have been, had not the proprieties stood
in the way.
We submit that it is a most readable
story and we doubt not that 1t is more
elaborate and more thrilling story than
any mere recitation of fact would have
been. 1t is the opinion Of many that the
man-hunt, with the fugitive safely up a
tree ere the hounds had started, would
have been a very tame affair and would
have given the reporters but poor ma
te1,ial for a story. But with stubborn
facts out of the way, the reports have
,lnbridled their imagination and turned it
loose. The difference is as between war
balloon held in captivity and an united
balloon generously inflated with gas and
left to soar high and far.
And so the young men have given the
readers of The Times a narrative that
reads like a romance" An old scrtbhler
can chronicle events; it requires an artist
to write fiction.

NO EXTRAVAGANT ALL0TMENTs
Secretary Root Talks of the Army
Officers in Cuba

oiuCScS' III
WASHINGTON, April 21-Secretary
Root made a brief statement al the War
Department this afternoon in regard to
the charge that eNtratagant aIlotments
had been made the army officers serving
in Cuba for the maintenance of their es-
tablishme1ts out of the revenues of the
islands. He said that about year ago,
before he came into Office, representations
We're made that it was impossible for
army officers to live their salaries in
Cuba. The question of providing for their
extra expenses out of the ryenues of the
island was suggested to Secretary Alger
and the Attorney General was called
upon for an opinion on this subject. The
latter held that there was no legal OBJ
lection to such procedure and his opin-
ion was approved by the then Secretary
OF War.
Secretary Root said that allotments
were made at that time in accordance
with tie Attorney Generals opinion. and
they have since been continued. He
further stated THAT full particulars of the
transactions will be furnished to Con-
gress.
Tie Secretary was asked if similar al
lowances for extra expenses were made
in the cases of officers in Porto Rico or
in the Philippines, and replied most en-
hatically, No"
In response to direct inquiry, he said
that allotmentS for extra expenses had
been made to four officers, namely: the
military governor of the island. the mill
tary governor of the city of Havana, the
collector of the port of Havana and the
treasurer of the island. The Secretary
said that he did not recall the exact
amount of a1lotments in each case. but
altogether they did not exceed $4,000 or
$4,000 year. In answer to another
question Secretary Root said that Colonel
Black, the engineer officer at Havana,
did not receive any extra allowance. but
that he was certainly entitled to it. Al
though showing that the plan was fully
approved by him, Secretary Root made it
clear that il was originated by his prede-
cessor, Secretary Alger.
At the time of the original allowance,
the office of Governor General was held
by General Brooke. who recently was
succeeded by General Wood. the incum-
bent. General William Ludlow was the
military governor OF Havana and receiv-
ed an allowance as such. The office held
by him has been abolished, to take effect
on the 1st proNimo. The military depart
merit formerly in his command has been
merged into the department OF Havana
and finar del Rib in command OF Cen
eral Lee. 1t is not known whether the
latter officer will receive the allowance
heretofore made to General Ludlow. but
it Is fair assumption that he will.
The other two officers favored with eX
ira allowances are Colonel r.. n. Bliss,
OF the Commissary Department. who
holds tfe Office of collector of the port
of Havana, and Major Eugene f. Ladd,
u1arterraster of volunteers and cap
tain of the Ninth Cavalry, who performs
the functions of treasurer of the island.

FEAR FOR LUm BERMEN.
Their Lives Impcrilled by Fierce
Forest Fires,


WINNIPEG, NAN, April 21.-T1wenty-
five or thirty lives may have been lost
in forest fires that are burning for miles
along the Southeastern Railway tracks,
although definite news is not yet at
hand. Early to-day the delayed regular
Southeastern mixed train reached this
CITY with about twenty-five passengers,
mostly lumbermen, who have been work
ing in the different camps. They fully
confirmed all reports as to the serious
nature of the fire, and expressed fears
as to the safety of many OF the men
at Keith's Camp.
The fire started as early as tuesday
last. and the flames Were sweeping.
strip three miles wide and destroying
everything before it.
Those coming in on last night tram
state that not one stick of either Keith S
or Buchanan's outfits were saved, and
that in all probability great many
horses persisted. One man said that the
men had no time to escape from their
camps on account of the rapidly with
which the fire travelled, and that they
were compelled to fight back the flames
from the open space around their camp
ing places.
In addition to the immense quantity of
standing timber destroyed, it is said that
5000 cords of ties have gone up in smoke.
Doctors have gone to the scene on
special train.
