RAIN oUENcHEs FOREST FIRES.
All Danger Now Passed-Losses Said
to Be Greatly Exaggerated.

~ oC NJ SdAby I\dS9S' deSN'
Marinette, Wis, May 23.-All dan
ger from forest fires is past. It rained
yesterday morning and the wind has
died out. The loss everywhere is be-
lieved to have been exaggerated.
The l. Stephenson Company of
Wells, Mich, was the heaviest loser
and it's losses will not be more than
$4,000. Most of the buildings de-
stroyed were of frame construction.
The saw mills destroyed were all
small ones, worth not more than from
$1,000 to $4,000. The total loss in
the burned area will not be more
than 100000.
The number of settlers burned out
has also been greatly exaggerated.
Some papers have placed the number
as high as 1000. Considering the way
in which the northern country is set
tied it is certain that not 500 have
been burned out, and it is probable
that the actual number who lost their
homes is not more than 200, and it
may not reach this amount.
The most damage is at Quinnesec,
Mich, large town, which was de-
stroyed, but the fire there was not due
to forest fire, but to bonfire in the
rear of a livery stable. There are no
woods around Quinnesec.

Washington, May 23. More than
600 marines will confront liberal lead
ers on the isthmus of Panama in case
they attempt to promote riots and

in Panama on June 20.
Only 200 marines are on the 18TH

mand of Maj. G.. J. Long.
More than 400 marines are on the

Guantanamo, and will be within easy
call in case the politics become
stormy in Panama.
QueII Any Disturbance.
The zone police force has been

miniature army and is ready for SER
vice at any time.
Under the leadership of the well
trained marines it is believed the po-
lice force will be able to quell any
disturbances which may arise. The
Panama railway affords such excel
lent transportation facilities that
troops can be hastened to any posi-
BILE scene of trouble in the canal zone
without delay. This insures the pro-
lection of all American property in
