FAIRFIELD.

Additional paving for Fairfield was
probably postponed indefinitely at a
specia. meeting Of the city council
when the proposition to secure plans
for the construction of a modern sew
err system failed to carry by the nee
essary majority. Although many citi
gems are urgently demanding more
pa, ing, it is not probable that any will
be installed until new sewers are laid.
The last reports of the financial con-
dition Of the city shows that the only
indebtedness consists of bonds not yet
due. with much more than enough
mt ney in the treasury to meet these.

MEN IMPRISONED BY AN EXPLOSION

Trinidad, Col, October S.-Between 50 and 100 men, nearly all Americans, are re- ported to be walled up in the Colorado Fuel and Iron company's mine at Stark vile, near here, by an explosion which occurred at 1o:5O tonight, The explosion, according to first reports, was caused by accumulation of gas.
 Immediately upon receipt of the report special train was made up here car rying doctors, newspaper men and nurses.
 Ample galleries In the mine are relied upon to afford the men fresh air and a possible means of escape. The workings are enormous and are reported to connect with the Engleville mine and possibly others Unless these connections are blocked through disuse or choked by deb- ris from the explosion 1t is thought the mon have an excellent chance for life.
 The mine Is used to supply the Santa Fe railroad with coal. It has been on fire several times before.

SERIOUS DAMAGE
 BY FOREST FIRES

International Falls, Minn., October S. Special. )-Blaudette Minn.. was wiped out by fire last night. 1000 people being rendered homeless.
 The Shelvin-Mahtieu Lumber company s mill at Spooner. Minn., and the Rat Por- tage Lumber company mill at Rainy River, Ontarior, are in ashes. with a loss of more than $1,OOOOOo on each mill, not including great stores of lumber.
 A vast. fear-inspiring pail of smoke covers the whole Rainy river basin from Kettle Falls to Winnipeg. Only the Cana dian Northern depot at Beaudette remains standing. Unless rain comes quickly and in volume nothing can prevent the de- struction of a dozen or more small towns hemmed in on all sides by woods.
 Even modern fire department could not stand against the flames. and the settlers with axes and shovels as their only weapons are only endangering their lives in battling them.
 To make matters worse, the dry sea- son has dried up almost every stream and we'll in this part of the state. Drenching rain and that alone can quench the great forest fires that are probably 100 miles square, with the center of the confagra- ton at about the northern border of Bel tramie county.

America Takes a Hand

Madrid, October S.-The Heraldos prints n dispatch from Gibraltar asserting that King Manuel of Portugal left on the American cruiser Des Moines. His de- parture, the dispatch says, was the re- suit of an agreement concluded by tho United States, Great Britain and Ger many. which was hurriedly made to the powers last night.
 The story goes on to say that yesterday King Manuel and the Queen mother Ame- lie. had a two hours conference with the Gibraltar authorities on board the yacht Amelie.
 At the same time unusual activity was noted at naval headquarters while the commander of the Des Molnes had been summoned by Admiral Sir Fred H. Pelham The two naval officers sent long telegrams to their respective govern ments At nightfall the commander or the Des Moines went aboard his ship. while Admiral Pelham. accompanied by two hides. went aboard the Amelie. They conveyed two persons with great secrecy aboard the Des Moines, which immediate iy weighed anchor, in spite of the fact that there were many officers and men ashore, and proceeded at full speed 10 Portugal.
 The United States cruiser Des Moines. Commander John F. Luby, was at CID raltar on the morning of October !, and saluted the royal yacht Amelie, after her arrival with the King Of Portugal. The Des Moines was under orders to pro- ceed to Lisbon.
