THURSDAY. JANUARY 10. 1901.

The new election law, known
as Bill Is, goes into effect Sun

a hitch in it somehow, or else
things have changed. Sam Shack

One Mystery Cleared Up.

One day about two years ago Jesse
George, young Leavenworth lawyer,
mysteriously disappeared. A package
of love letters from his sweetheart,
who then lived in Indiana, was found
on the river bank near Leavenworth
and everybody supposed George had
drowned himself. His sweetheart
mourned him as dead. One day last
week it developed that George is not
dead. A report reached Leavenworth
that he is chief clerk of the depart
ment of education in Manila and has
been chosen by Superintendent At
hnson to look after the educational
interests of the province of Benguet.
He is now in the territory of Igorrot-
tee. The news has created much talk
at Leavenworth among those who
knew him, especially in society circles.
No explanation is offered for his mys-
ferrous conduct.

Washington, May g. Brig. Gen. Bell,

of southern Luzon, said last night:
"One-sixth of the natives of Luzon
have either been killed or have died
of the dengue fever in the last two
years. The loss of life by killing alone
has been very great, but think that
not one man has been slain except
where his death served the legitimate
purposes of war. It has been neces-
sary to adopt what in other countries
would probably be thought harsh
measurers, for the Filipino is tricky
and crafty and has to be fought in his
own way. One of my sentinels was
beheaded within $50 yards of my head
quarters. His executioner was a bolo
man, who came into camp disguised
as a fruit vender. He had his bolo
hid in his basket, and at the opportuEe
moment drew it and with one blow cut
off the sentinel's head

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
COnf1agration in Jacksonville, Fla,
Burns Over $50 Blocks.
SIx Lives Reported Lost in tho Ftre-The
Property Loss Is Fifteen Million Dollars
and Fifteen Thousand People Are
Rendered Homeless.

Jacksonville. Fla, May 4.-Jack-
sonville yesterday had the most dis
astrous fire of her existence. Along
the entire length of Beaver street,
from Davis street to the creek on
Liberty street, all buildings have
been destroyed. This is IA solid
blocks of residences. For the same
distance Ashley and Church streets
have both been completely blotted
out. When the fire reached Bridge
street in its eastward course it en-
Ve1oped in flames an area three blocks
wide, taking in. Duval, Monroe and
the north side of Adams street, burn
ing that entire section of the city
and running IA blocks to the Duyal
street bridge. How much further IN
that direction the city is burned it is
impossible to learn, the street being
impossible, but it is feared that ST.
Luke's hospital was burned and it is
reported that the Presbyterian church
in East Jacksonville is ablaze. If this
is correct the fire must have extended
five blocks further east. The con-
aagration, which broke out at 1873
o'clock yesterday afternoon, has COW
cred, as far as is definitely known,
distance of 81: miles by half mile
wide.
The fire department begun to use
dynamite to blow up houses a block
from the fire, hoping thus to prevent
the fire from spreading. So fierce
was the blaze, however, and so strong
had become the wind, that millions
of sparks and flying burning shingles
spread over five or six blocks, setting
the roofs of the houses on fire in adj
vance of the department. Soon Sem
ator Tailaferro's residence and the
adjoining houses on that block were
ablaze and, in spite of all efforts TO
save the Windsor and ST. James no.
tells both hostslries were quickly en-
veloped in flames. For about an hour
the guests in the Windsor had been
busily packing their trunks and many
of them had gone away loaded with
trunks and grips.
Once the fire got started on Main
street, the closely adjoining buildings
went one after another. Paint shops
with barrels of oil were plentiful il
this district, and as they caught fire,
one after the other, the blaze, rising
hundreds of feet high, quickly set the
buildings across the street on fire.
Six lives were lost in the con-
f1agration. The mayor has called a
meeting of the city council to con-
slider ways and means of relieving the
sufferers.
Later The plans of the city, as pre-
pared by the city surveyors, show
that $50 blocks were burned and part
of another block. Mayor Bowden at
one o'clock this morning said that
the property loss will exceed SIS, O0O,-
OO0. Ten thousand to $4,000 people
are homeless.

new railroad will be completed
Throughout the dominion, most of

plored wilderness, as it is recognized
that railroads are essential to the
opening up of this vast territory. The
mineral wealth of this region is said
to be undoubtedly immense, while the
dense forests of hardwood are expect

ores are found in limestone and are
not accompanied by other minerals,

ties will be promptly followed by

of the Soldiers.

Washington, May 6.-Surgeon Gem
eral Sternberg is very much gratifed
at the showing made in the recent re-
port from Manila of less percentage
of sick than at any time since the
American troops were sent to the
Philippines. He attributes the better
condition to several causes, but not
ably to the fact that officers and men
understand the Importance of taking
good care of themselves. The soldiers
in the Philippines are to all intents
and purposes regulars and are Off
cered by regular officers or voluteer
officers and the men are compelled to
conform closely to the restrictions as
to diet and care of themselves. Gen.
Sternbe"g says the training and edr-
cation of the surgeons in the Philip
pines has had good results. These Off
GERS have learned how to treat trop-
zeal diseases and complaints indigo
