FOREST FIRE SITUATION
SOMEWHAT RELIEVED

MissOula, Mont, Aug. 23.-The fire
situation in Western Montana and Ida
no has cleared considerably and last
night it was more hopeful than for
three days.
Mullan has been saved; Saltese has
been preserved; Henderson, threaten
ed yesterday, is in fair way to be
placed on the salvage list; there are
800 men back-firing at st. Regis and it
is believed their efforts will result in
turning the fire around the town.
To Offset this credit side of the ac-
count, there are the smoking ruins of
De Borgia, Haughan, Bryson, Taft and
Saltese; the Milwaukee has twenty
four out of twenty-nine bridges ruin
ed, and the five that are not destroyed
are badly damaged; nine lives have
been lost in the hills above Saltese and
at least six otehrs in a fire on Cedar
creek that came over the Idaho divide
at the head of Oregon gulchs
Last Fire Vicious.
This last fire destroyed the Mador
properties at the head of Cedar creek
and the buildings and power plant of
the Kansas City Commercial Company
on Cedar creek, but swept over the big
dredge of the company, which was not
much damaged.
At Iron Mountain there is no dam
ger. and with the fires so well in hand
at st. Regis, it seems that the crisis is
passed. There is no wind today; the
gale which prevailed Sunday and Sat-
urday subsidized Monday afternoon and
brought new confidence to the fighters.
Conditions Improved.
Up the Blackfoot river conditions
are also improved. The fire at Camas
prairie was checked last night and the
farms in the valley are safe. In the
timber above the valley the situation
is not entirely cleared, but it is be-
lieved that without wind the fire VIII
be under control in the morning.
There are nearly 1000 refugees In
Missoula. Exhausted fighters in the
burned districts are struggling in, ar
ter having saved many inhabitants.
Many Parties Lost.
Two young men came in last night
who were caught in the Oregon gulcn
fire; they started with eight compan.
ions and some pack horses. They say
they know the horses are all dead and
they do not know where their compan-
ions are. The fire came down and cut
them on.
A distressing feature OF the situation
ia the fact that so many parties are
not accounted for.

Macaronl au cratIn.

An easy way to prepare macaron1 is
to boil half a package In sailed wa
ter until tender, drain 1t in colander
and stir it into saucepan or chaling
dish, In which two tablespoonful Of
butter and half a pound Of grated
cheese have been melted, the latter be-
ing added after the first has begun to
bubble. Toss the macaroni with .
fork until heated through. season with
q dash Of salt and pepper and serve.
The result is delicious. especially
when the macaroni comes piping hot
from the chafing dish.

such as have made possible the build
Ing Of extremely deep foundations un-
der water and which contributed
largely to the success of the building
of tunnels under the Hudson. No
divers are used, and the pontoon sys-
tenn is put completely aside. The
method proposed Is to swing the
Maine In a cradle of powerful cables
and lift her completely out of the wa
her hull will be possible.
While the ship is suspended above
water. Mr.. O'Rourke declares. she can
be repaired as readily as If she were.
In dry dock. and after being sre-
launched from the cable cradle, can
leave Havana harbor under her own
steam. This Is said to be the first
plan yet proposed which would pre-
sent the ship to naval board In pre-
cisely the same condition as she sunk
on the night Of February Is. 1898. To
raise her with pontoons. construction
experts say, would mean to work
upon her hull under water and to
float her with compressed air would
disturb conditions between decks.
First wharf of piles would be
built on either side Of the submerged
wreck. Then between the wharves
and the hull IL pneumatic caissons
would be sunk-six on each side Prac-
teal tunnel building operations would
be employed thereafter and q hun
dred little tunnels would be driven
through the mud under the Names
keel between the opposite caissons.
Through each tunnel powerful steel
cable would be run and each end
would be run up the outside of the
caisson. to the wharf above. So there
would be q steel cable under the hull
every four feet and the aggregate Of
all would be calculated to be capable
Of raising four times the weight Of the
wreck. which Is about 1000 tons.
Each cable end would they be At
tached to q system Of steel screw
rods and the screw jack principle
would be employed. In that the war

William Pittman, the Boston eng1-

Before departing for Corinto with
Generals Toledo, Vasquez, Ortiz and
Montenegro and DR.. Julian Irias, the
presidency was turned over by Madriz
to Jose Dolores Estrada, brother OF
Gen. Juan Estrada, the leader of the
revolution.
Immediately afterwards, Jose Estra.
da issued a proclamation, saying that
he would give the Office to his brother,
and started peace commission, com
posed of foreign consuls, for Granada
to inform Gen. Estrada of his inten-
lions.
The commission was compelled to re-
turn to Managua, however, as the rail-
road tracks had been torn up.
