FLAMES IN THE FORESTS.
Disastrous Fires Raging in Timber
Belt West of Cascades.


Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 13.-The most
severe forest fires known in years are
raging in several parts of the great
timber belt lying west of the Cas-
cade mountains. They are especially
fierce between Lake Sammamish and
the ,Snoqualmie river and lumber
camps there are in great danger.
Haley's camp on the Snoqualmie
river was saved only by the strenuous
efforts of SO men. Thousands of dol.
lars worth of timber already has been
destroyed and lumbermen say that i'm
mense damage is inevitable unless it
rains soon.
Another tremendous fire is raging
between Woodinville and Grace, on
the Seattle division of the Northern
Pacific. Several farm dwellings and
farms in that vicinity have been
burned.
Similar damage is being caused to
timber in Chehalis and Mason coun-
ties. Passengers on the Great North
ern overland train report that terrible
forest fires are raging on both sides Of
the track in the Cascade mountains
just west of Wellington.
+ The. Great Northern overland had a
thrilling race through this fire with
flames leaping about it on both sides.
Many passengers were overcome by
fright and several women tainted.
The smoke and heat were intolerable.
I Most Great Northern trains are delay
ed by the fires. - +-f..-

STRUCK ON A LEDGE.
Plant Line Steamer Halifax Seriously
9 -. Damaged.

S0St1dSCAs
Boston, Aug. H13.-The Plant line
steamer Halifax, from Charlottstown
Port Tewksbury and Halifax, N. S..
struck a. ledge off Minots light while
coming into port in a thick fog. She
freed herself, however, and was
beached in a sinking condition. Tugs
and lighters have gone from here for
passengers and baggage. -
T. The steamer left Halifax last Satur.
day night. It is understood she car.
ried a large number OF passengers. but
at the Plant Offices no information
could be obtained. ~,.ea 4
AS 1t was near high tide and as the
steamer floated without difficulty it
was. thought she was not seriously
damaged. 1t soon appeared, however,
that she was leaking. Accordingly
the captain headed for Georges island
and beached her.
Later in the day tugs reached here
with passengers from the stranded
steamer, including the famous scul
lers, Mcclure. Whitehead and Wray.
An officer of the vessel says that the
Halifax struck at about o'clock in
the morning during an impenetrable
fog. By her own efforts the vessel
f1oated as the tide rose.< Her fore
compartments were full of water and
Captain Pye decided to beach the craft
which he did on Georges island. The
Halifax carried $50 passengers and a
cargo of miscellaneous, freight. There
was little or no excitement among the
passengers.

PALMA VERY POPULAR.
All Parties in Cuba Favor Him for

FfeStcent. f.atss...
Havana, Aug. 13.-The Cuban con
stitutional convention is fastening the
work of drafting provisional cleo
toral law for the establishment of the
new government. Delegates expect to
have the law ready for publication in
The Official Gazette by the middle of
next week-certainly before General
Wood returns.
Acting Military Governor Scott. in
case of General Woods confined alb
sence. will probably be requested to
promulgate the law calling for elec-
tions without delay.
1t is reported on good authority that
early next week meeting of men
from all parties will be held to open
the presidential campaign and try to
reach an agreement in favor of Gen.
eral Palma. General Palma's letters
to Rubens and Figueredo have been
received with general approval by
delegates to the convention.
If Palma is nominated and accepts.
he will carry all the provinces except.
perhaps, Puerto Principe.

United States Battleship Iowa Leave
Puget Sound for the Scene of
# d. II Trouble.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The state de-.
partment has, authorized the American
charge d'affaires at Caracas, Venezue-
la, to use his good offices for Colombia
in case the Colombian minister at the
Venezuelan capital leaves that coun-
try. MIR. Russell telegraphed last
week seeking information as to his
course Of action in case of the with
drawal of the Colombian minister,
which apparently was in contempla-
tion at that time. He did not, how
ever, indicate that this order of with
drawal was preliminary to any rup-
ture between the two republics but
simply asked if he would be author
lied to act temporarily in looking
after Colombia's interests in case of
the withdrawal of the minister. The
state department. has no information
as to whether the Colombian minister
has withdrawn from Venezuela, or
whether Mr.. Russell is fulfilling this
temporary duty.
There have been no additional de-
velopments as to the situation on the
Isthmus of Panama, where the trouble
is far removed from that along the
Venezuelan border. Consul General
Cudger's course in looking after the
interests Of Chinese along the Isthmus
Is not in pursuance of any specific in
structions from Washington but fol
lows procedure established some IL
years ago in connection with points al
which the Chinese were entirely with
out official representation.
The navy department has now def
nitely determined to make use of the
battleship Iowa. instead of the Wis
consin, for use on the Pacific side o
the isthmus, in case affairs become Sc
rious there. a

TOO MANY POLICEMEN.
Manila Force Will Be Reduced by
One-EaIf.

Manila, Aug. 13.-Civil Governor
Taft, in the immediate future, will re-
duce the police force of Manila by one
half. At present there are 1900 po-
locemen for the city, whose poulation
only numbers 250,O00 souls. The gov
ernor considers it unnecessary to have
over 600 policemen. as they are not re-
quired for military purposes. Besides,
in the event Of trouble, the policemen
of Manila would be unable to cope
with the situation and the military
force would be called upon.
General Ludington, quartermaster
general, has arrived here on the trans
port Grant. He probably will make a
tour of the islands. He says he is
immensely gratified with the record of
his department in the Philippines and
in China.

MUST BE HOMEMADE.
Russian Government Prohibits For.

Russian Government Prohibits For.
eign Products. In;
st. Petersburg, July 29.-New IL
lustrations of the determination of the
government to prevent the use of for
eign made goods in any public works
come to light almost daily. The news
papers this week print circulars from
the minister of railways and the minis
ter of education directing attention to
orders from the finance minister
against the use of foreign railway ma
terials and educational supplies.
When the required articles cannot be
had in Russia the higher authorities
must be consulted before an order can
be given to a foreign manufacturer or
importer.
Another instance is furnished by the
decision to complete the naptha pipe
line from Baku to Batoun. 1t ends
now in the mountains. When the first
section was built it was decided to use
Russian pumps, but it was found no
Russian concern could turn out the
articles needed. The article was,
thereupon, by special ukase Of the
emperor. given to an American house.
The price was cut down pretty low, on
the ground, it is said, that the same
company would naturally get the or
der for the second section and that
having models and drawings all ready
the expense to it Of making the ad-
ditional pumps would be considerably
Bessened. The American firm is not
accustomed to depend on promises and
took the precaution to build pumps of
unique design for this pipe line and to
patent it's plan and protect its models
1t is now about to reap the reward of
its foresight. The order has gone
forth that none but Russian materials
are to be used. Invitations to bid for
pumps were sent to none but Russian
houses. However, as the pumps must
match those now used, the successful
bidder has had to come to the Amer.
leans and make terms for the use OF
their plans and drawings.

New York, Aug. ia dispatch to
The Tribune from London says:
Many of the yeomanry who have
returned from South Africa are still
complaining that they have not receiv-
ed their arrears of pay. 1t appears
that in the case of the men in more
than one yeomanry battalion no &C
count was kept of the amount advanc-
ed to the rank and file while in South
Africa. 1t was impossible to tell what
was due to the men and it was decided
not to settle any claims until proper
accounts have been received. The
matter is becoming a perfect scandal
and is certainly not simplifying the
work of recruiting sergeants. In some
instances the men have been obliged

FOUND MORE MISTAKES.
The George H. Phillips Company Bet

ter Off by $134,000.
Chicago, Aug. 13.-The Record
Herald says: The George H. Phillips
company has found itself better off
by S134,0OO than it thought by the dis
covery of two errors in the books
found since the firm suspended pay
ment. One was an error of an even
100000. The firm deposited in the
bank $133,000 in cash, for which it re-
ceived credit by the bank. but which
appeared On the books of the firm as
a deposit of $33, 900. Another mistake
of the bookkeeper was failure to
credit the firm with $4,000 worth of
warehouse receipts deposited in the
bank early in April. The deposit of
these receipts is the same as deposit
of cash and the failure to account for
them caused a reduction of the work
ing capital of the firm by that addi-
tional amount.
