Disastrous Forest Fires.

Fourteen distinct forest fires are raging
in parts of Montana, and property valued
at thousands of dollars is being eaten up
by the flames, which have spread to
several small towns along the Great
Northern Railroad. Whitefsh and Co
lumbia Falls, two villages, are entirely
cut off from telephone communication
and the wagon road to Whitefish has
been made impossible by the flames,
which are raging on both sides OF it.
The latest arrivals from there, who lett
Tuesday night, report that several
churches and other outlying property
have been destroyed and dwelling-bOuses
on tside OF the town are in great danger.
1t is thought, however, that unless a
high wind should set in the main portion
of the place will be saved. Another large
fire is raging near Dayton Greek, heav-
lily timbered section, aud the pine forests
of that section will be almost destroyed.
The whole country is covered by dense
smoke, which makes sunlight almost a
novelty. In some places along the road
the smoke has totally obscured the suns
rays for several weeks past. Forest Su-
pervisor Haines and large force of men
are fighting the flames as best they can,
and owing to the extent of the burning
district they can do.little until helped by
a good downpour of rain or the force is
increased. The entire side of large
mountain is one mass of flames.

army officer, speaking of the japanese
strategy. this morning, said it was on
par with that of any power Of the world.
In this connection he said: There has
been considerable criticism of the Jap
anese generals because they did not fol-
low up their preliminary victories, and
strike blow, some day six or seven
weeks ago, which would have been de-
cisiye; or, at the least, instrumental In
hastening the end of the conflict. Now,
however, no one can question the wisdom
of the course taken by the Mikado's Of

japanese should move slowly and care

The fighting, when the refugees left, had
been chiefly directed against the remain

for the purpose of burying the dead, the
japanese had captured all of the outer
works excepting those on Christ Hill.
Port Arthur newspapers estimated the
