MoBs RIOT AS ESTRADA WINS.
Anti-American Outbreak in Nicara-
guam Capital.

Managua.-Juan j. Estrada, leader
of the insurgents, has been proclaimed
president of all Nicaragua. Mena's
army entered Managua without re-
sistance. Madriz has returned to the
city.
The immediate result of the insur-
gent victory will be a brief provi-
sional administration under Estrada.
With riot and panic leaving trails
of ruin and suffering in Managua and
Granada, with the lives and property
of Americans menaced by hostile
mobs, the entire government OF Mica
ragua has been thrown into the hands
of insurgents. There have been many
anti-American outbreaks.

FIRES IN NORTHWEST
1wenty-four Killed, rs Injured
When Wallace, Idaho, Burns.
PROPERTY LOSS IS ENORMOUS
Area of the Fire, 100 Miles Square,
Embraces Towns Destroyed and
Many Others Deserted-1SO
Fire Fighters Missing.

Missoula, Mon.-At least n hun
bred and fifty dead, more than double
that number missing, and millions of
dollars property loss are some of the
results of the forest fires which have
devastated miles of territory in west
ern Montana, the Occur d'Alene sec
ton of Idaho, eastern Washington
and part of Oregon.
The utmost efforts of the hundreds
of volunteer and hired fire-fghters
have been of little avail in checking
the flames. A few places have been
saved, but in most instances the dan
ger has been over only when the
fires have consumed everything in
their path and burned themselves out.
Butte, Mon.-Reports coming over
railway wires show that some towns
in Idaho and Montana have been
wiped out, while others have been
partly destroyed.
Wallace, Idaho, is about one-half
burned. All the principal buildings
and stores were burned.
Burke, Idaho, a mining town, has
been wiped out, and so has Taft, just
across the u IN MOnldud.
Scores of men have lost their lives,
among them many forest rangers.
All the women and children have
been removed from the burning
towns on special trains to Missoula
and Spokane.
The towns which have suffered are
Wallace, Burke, Mullan. Wardner,
Kellogg and Osburn, Idaho, and st.
Regis, Hamilton, Stevensville, Saltez,
Rivulet, Superior, Iron Mountain,
Ovando, Darby, Woodside, Libby,
Troy, Thompson Falls, Belknap,
White Pine, Noxen, Heron, Cedar
Spur, Taft, Barker and Neihart, Mon.
The destruction of small mining
properties is very heavy and the loss
to New York, Boston, Duluth, Butte
and Spokane mining men will be seri-
Gus. as they have large mining inter-
ests in Occur d'Alene country.
Missoula, Mon.-Relentlessly the
forest fires in Western Montana n
Idaho swept over a vast area, driving
hundreds of fugitives before them,
destroying small settlements, n
wiping out of existence millions OF
dollars worth of property.
The territory burned over is about
10000 square miles, or more than
the area of Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire, New Jersey or Vermont,
Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode
Island combined.
The property loss is estimated at
from $40, 000, 600 to $25,a00,000.
More than 200 lives may have
been lost.
Five thousand men were employed
fighting the flames.
While the fires ragged they cost the
government $1,000 a day.
1t will take a lifetime to reforest
the burned district.
The above summarizes the stu
alton. /,
Wallace, Idaho.-Twenty-four dead
and over twenty-five injured, besides
a number suffering from being over
come by smoke, is the record OF the
forest fire which destroyed half OF
this town.
Among those who persisted in the
city fire was John j. Boyd, a pioneer
of the Occur d'Alene and formerly
agent for the Oregon Railroad
Navigation company.
The number of those who lost their
lives in fighting the fires approach
TO the town will not be known prob
ably for several days.
