One hundred and seventy-five fires
occurred in Topeka during the year.
The actual value of buildings and con-
tents in which fires occurred is shown
to have been $3.50 465. The Insurance
carried upon same was $2S8, 215. The
amount of loss paid by insurance COM
panies for fires that occurred within
the city was $25, 97S. SO for the year. The
total loss throughout the country was,
however, quite large. The number of
fires in the United Estates during the
wear attributed to electricity alone is re-
ported to have been $3.50. This fact
shows the Importance of exercising the
greatest care upon the part of owners
and agents of buildings in all cities in
requiring that the wiring of buildings
for electricity and for the installment
of electrical appliances be done in a
first-class and thorough manner, and
strictly in accordance with the latest
standard rules and requirements for
general safety.
One hundred and twenty-six fires
have occurred in this city the present
year. since January 1, but the losses
have fortunately been kept down quite
small in comparison with the amount
of property placed at risk at fires

Washington, Nov. 30.-That the re.

the proposition which General Reyes,
envoy of Colombia to the United States

consideration of the officials at Wash

General Reyes arrived here shortly
after 9 a. m. He was met at the sta
tion by son of DR.. Herran, the Colon.

hotel.
General Reyes talked with a. repre-
sentative of the Associated Press
about his mission. He said:
"You will readily admit the pro-
priety of my refraining from discuss
ing my mission, which Is of confiden-
tial character, but of the offer which
Colombia is ready to make desire to
say that my energies and those of my
followers will be devoted to the grant
ing of the canal concessions to the
United States without the payment of
a cent. Even at this Colombia will be

Are you authorized by President

GENERAL BROOKE ON STAND
Gives Damaging Evidence Against
Wood in Senate Hearing.


Wood in Senate Hearing.
Washington, Dec. Major General
John R. Brooke, retired, former gov
ernor general Of Cuba, Monday gave
testimony before the senate commit
tee on military affairs which charged
insubordination against General Leon:
ard Wood. General Brooke was before
the committee more than two hours
and occupied the entire time in tell
ing of General Woods conduct at
Santiago. The witness offered in sup
port of his statements many docu-
ments taken from records at the war
department and several papers from
his personal collection,
One of the charges made by Gener-
al Brooke is that General Wood vio-
lated the order which required him
in making improvements in Santiago
to submit estimates to the governor
general. AS evidence of this viola
ton General Brooke called attention
to the building Of barracks at Santa
go near the Moro without General
Wood first having given notice to the
department at Havana. General
Brooke said also that General Wood
continually sent communications to
the war department over the head
his commanding officer. The witness
assured the committee that he cared
$othing for the ignoring of his author
ity but said that the proceeding had
been detrimental to military discipline.
