ing tine vault in which the body of the
late President Mckinley lies. 1t is to
the effect that the guard on duty on

to stab the guard.
Military regulations prevent either

New York. Sept. 29.-In the closest
for old Americn's cup. the white flyer
Columbia to-day beat the British chal-
lenger over n windward and leeward

Washington, Sept. 20.-A well-known
official of the government. in speaking
of this outbreak against the American
forces in Samar, said he regarded II
as consequence of the assassination
of President Mckinley. In all prob
ability the insurgents had received, he
said. only meager reports of the
tragedy and possibly believed the
shooting to be the result of some pop
ular outbreak against the President.
The natives had ceased the oppOrtuni-
ty In the Pickering hope Of retrieving
some of their losses.
Company 9 was portion of the
Ninth regiment of United States in
fantry which went to China ut the
time OF the Boxer outbreak and while
there performed valiant service. Later
the troops went to Manila and were en-
gagged in provost duty In that city.
During the past summer n battalion Of
the Ninth was sent to Samar. All the
officers connected with Company G,
which was almost wiped out by the
insurgents, are named in General
Chaffee's dispatch, there being no sec
Ond lieutenant now with the company.

ment concerning the order of the Navy
Department of May 20. 1898, in which
he was directed to Inform every YES

desired to correct his response to the
courts inquiry as to why this order
was not carried out, by saying that 1t
had been carried out. 1.-The flying
squadron was ordered to proceed with
all possible Dispatch" he said, and
added:
II did not desire to inform the COM

Lieutenant Spencer S. Wood, who
commanded the dispatch boat Dupont
during the Spanish War, was then
called and continued his testimony,
begun yesterday. Mr.. Rayner re-
sumed his cross-examination. The
witness said that, while off Cienfuegos,
he had been on picket duty two miles
from shore the night of May 22nd and
had been instructed to signal the
squadron with two red lights in case
the enemy's torpedo boats came out of
the harbor.
Mr.. Rayner then read from the testi-
mony of Captain Harber of the Texas,
saying that there had been no picket
vessels within the line of the fleet of
Cienfeugos. The witness said that
the statement was wrong.

BIG FOREST FIRES ARE
NEARLY BURNED OUT

Ward, Colo, Sept. 27.-Denver Re
publican Special)-The wind went
down last night and to-day has been
calm, as n result of which the forest
fire has made comparatively little
progress. The fire is spreading little
to the west and has nearly reached
Abe Nelrs saw mill, one and one-half
miles west of Sunnyside. Around the
mill the timber has been cut out and
the fire will not have much to work
on, but IL it once gets past the mill it
will strike heavy timber again and
come down Pennsylvania gulch to Sum
nyside. This is not expected unless Il
strong west wind blows up, which
would drive the fire down the gulcl.
1t is not known yet how many cattle
perished in the fire. A few have been
recovered, but the greater number
have not yet been found. The district
burned over will measure about five
miles square. Dodd's saw mill was
saved.
Eldora, Colo. Sept. 27.-The fire is
now out on Eldorado mountain, but is
burning on the other six mountains.
1t is gradually burning out, however,
and has not spread any in the past
twenty-four hours.
Colonel O'Brien, special agent for
the land once at washington, left FL
dora for Denver to-day. He stated be-
fore leaving that the hard work done
by his men and himself in the Middle
sex country, preventing the fire from
crossing Jenny creek, had resulted in
saving an immense tract of timber on
the south side. Colonel O'Brien person.
ally paid the men employed by him
and will look to the government to re-
imburse him.

New Cripple Creek Line.

Florence, Colo, Sept. 3O.-Denver
Republican Special)-Engineers have
completed the survey of the Florence,
Victor & Cripple Creek railroad. The
distance from Florence to Victor will
be thirty-tive miles. The maximum
curvature is twelve degrees and the
grade divided into three sections shows
the average over the first nine miles
from Florence a two-per-cent. grade,
the next eighteen miles maximum of
30 per cent. and the remaining eight
miles only 2A per cent. The total cost
Of construction will be less than any
line running into the district, while the
expense of freight hauling will be re-
duced one.third. Engineer Kelly, who
has charge Of the work, will require
the next six weeks to complete his
maps and estimates and is assured of
sufficient capital to build the road as
soon as his maps and estimates can be
verified.

Down at Sparrows' Point. south of
Baltimore, completed all but a few
finishing touches. lies the great steel
floating dry dock built by the Mary
land Steel company for the United
States government, and which Is to be
towed to Algiers, La, as soon as the
West India hurricane season has pass
ed. That will be about Oct. 1 and sew
eral powerful ocean-going tugs will
convey the huge dock to its destina-
ton. It is certain that this immense
piece of marine mechanism for lifting
great vessels out of water in order to
clean or repair them is without a su-
perior in its line, and it is doubtful
whether it has an equal. 1t can raise
a 15,OOO-ton battleship and have the
floor of the dock, two feet above the
water, which is demanded by the gov
ernment for it's work, but with the
floor even with the water-line it can
lift an 1s,00o-ton ship.

Mr.. Berkout, formerly forester in
the Dutch East Indies. recently gave
some facts not generally known con-
cerning India rubber and gutta-percha.
which are often confused. The quality
OF elasticity distinguishes India rub
ber from gutta-percha. The latter Is
derived from one plant only while
India rubber is produced from more
than sixty plants. Three-fourths OF
the gutta- -percha of commerce comes
from Sumatra and Borneo. or the to-
tai annual production of India rubber
nearly two-thirds comes from the
Amazon valley. about one-third from
Central Africa and one-twentieth from
Asia. The total production OF gutta-
percha is about one-twentieth as great
as that Of India rubber.

that stone Weighing about twenty
pounds and about a foot and a half In
