FOREST FIRES RAGING IN PRIN.
CiPAl TIMBER SECTIONS CT
NORTH CALF ORNlA.
CITY = SANTA CRUZ THREATENED
FLAMES SWEEPING EVERYTHING
BEFORE THEM FROM NOUN
TAINS TO THE COAST.

San Francisco, Sept 12.-Forest
fires are now raging in many of the
principal timber sections in the north
ern district of California and in the
immediate vicinity of this city. In
the Santa Cruz mountains the situa-
tion is serious in the extreme and it
is believed at present that the state
park in the Big basin, which contains
some of the finest redwood timber in
the state, is doomed.
Down the mountains to the coast
line the flames are now sweeping
everything before them-ranches and
property of all kinds, and it is only
hoped that the confiagration may not
extend to the city of Santa Cruz. The
fire in Marin county is now checked,
it is believed, after devastating an
area of $4,000 acres.
From Tehama, Butte and other
points up north come reports OF loss
by flames, which have swept the noun
tains. So far no loss of human life
has been reported. but it is feared that
in many instances it must have been
impossible for people to escape.

TENS LATEST ADDITION TO
AMERICAN NAVY.

San Francisco. Sept. l2-The new

iron works in this city at IL; so a. m.
A large tiotilla of small craft. steam
and sail, had taken up position to
greet the latest addition to the Amer
lean navy when she took her maiden
plunge and the yard was packed with
an immense crowd to witness the cere-
mony, including large number OF
Knights Templar and visitors attract
ed to the city by the grand triennial
encampment of that bod5 The chris
tening ceremony was performed by
Miss Janet Mitchell of Milwaukee,
daughter of the late United States Sen

party of visitors from Milwaukee.
Not hitch occurred in the proceed

moved down the ways and into the
waters of San Francisco bay as the
customary bottle of champagne re-
leased by Miss Mitchell broke on her
bow.

ACCIDENT UPSET THE MOVE.
Kuropatkin's Attempt to Isolate ku-
roki Beautifully Planned.

Tie Pass, Manchuria, Sept. 12.-The
breakdown of General kuropatkin's
strategy, when he had Withdrawn his
main army to the right bank of the
Taitse river, after General kuroki had
crossed the stream above l.iaoyang,
is explained as follows:
The movement was beautifully
planned. Kuropatkin intended to en-
gage kuroki, push column up the
right bank and completely isolate him
from Generals Oku and NodZu on th2
other side OF the river. Only an accl-
dent upset this plan. General Stakel-
berg's corps, which was still on the
left bank, at the extreme right, failed
to stand up against the superior force
of the Japanese. When Stakelberg
reported that he was retreating it
seemed to Kuropatkin that a portion
of his army, which he had faced east
ward, with the right resting on the
river and the left unprotected, might
be enveloped by the Japanese in pur-
suing Stakelberg He therefore drew
off and reformed his front and the
retreat from Yentai began and con-
tinued the rest of Sept. 3, the Russians
reaching Shakhe Sept. 4.
The losses on both sides from Aug
26 to Sept. are estimated at from
$4,000 to 10000 killed or wounded
Many of the killed and wounded were
left behind in the Chinese corn.
The Japanese are experiencing
great difficulty in bringing up supplies
of ammunition

BURG BUT OFFICIALS CAN
NOT CONFIRM IT.
WAR SITUATION SUMMARIZED

Reports are still current that the
Russian army is making retrograde
movement from Mukden, though st.
Petersburg officials say they are un-
able to confirm them. Only brief dis
patches have been received during the
day from the seat of war and they
leave the situation rather vague. No
fighting has occurred beyond occa-
sional contacts of outposts, condition
probably due largely to the heavy
rains, which dispatches say now pre-
vail. preventing any extended move
ments of either army.
No official figures on the losses OF
the battle of Liaoyang have been
given, but estimates still place the
casualties on both sides at not far
from $4,000 to 10000.
The news silence continues un-
broken from Toxic, no advices bear
ing directly on the operations having
been received from that source for
several days.

German Protestant Papers Object to

Berlin, Sept 12.-The Protestant
provincial newspapers suggest to the
government that the betrothed wife
Of Crown Prince Frederick William,
the Duchess Cecilia of Mecklenberg-
Schwerin, ought not to be called Ce-
ella after her marriage. They regard
this as an Objectionable name for a
Prussian queen and a German empress
because associated with Catholic
saint and many church societies are
named after her. The papers point
out that such association would injure
the Protestant religion in Germany,
as the UNIFORMED might think their
future empress was a Catholic. They
suggest a number of other names, Au-
gusta, for instance.

Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency Of medical sci
ence is toward preventive measures.
The best thought of the world is be-
ing given to the subject. 1t is easier
and better to prevent than to cure.
1t has been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia, one Of the most danger
Gus diseases that medical men have
to contend with. can be prevented
by the use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Pneumonia always results
from cold or from an attack of in
f1uenza (erip), and it has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts
any tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been
fully proven in many thousands of
cases in which this remedy has been
used during the great prevalence of
colds and grip in recent years, and
can be relied upon with implicit con-
fidence. Pneumonia often results
from slight cold, when no danger il
apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and diff
ficulty in breathing and pains in the
chest, then it is announced that the
patient has pneumonia. Be on the
safe side and take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. 1t always cures. For sale
