Winnipeg, Man. Especially 1t is
estimated that two to three hundred
people have lost their lives in the
forest fires which are devastating the
whole of the northern half of Roseau
and Beltrami counties in Minnesota,
and 90 miles of the Ontario country
across the Rainy river to the north.
Seventy Eve blackened corpses
have been found in the path of the
flames, and vast area is yet to be
searched for dead. 1t is the worst
horror of it's kind since the Hinlsloy
fire 15 years ago.
The property loss will run high up
into the millions. The towns of
Spooner, Beaudett, Graceton and Pitt
have been wiped off the map and half
mile of the town of Rainy River is
burnt over
Four large lumber mills, with their
yards have gone, 80 miles of railway
have been destroyed. one freight train
has pitched through bridge into the
river, and all communication has
been cut off.
Winnipeg is sending two sections
of it's fire department and towns to
the east are rushing aid forward.
Temporary shacks are being thrown
up to shelter the inhabitants of the
burnt towns.
WagOnloads of Corpses.
Wagonloads of corpses are being
brought into the railway station at
Beaudette at intervals.
1t is reported that many settlers,
crazed with grief at the loss of fam
lilies and property, are roaming the
woods, and searching parties are
going out after the injured, the dead
and the demented
On Friday night at o'clock cy-
clone of fire struck Beaudette and
Spooner, and within three minutes
after the first alarm every building
was ablaze. Within an hour all were
heaps of ashes.
The people of these two towns had
just sufficient time to get out of their
homes with what they had on their
backs. They boarded a passenger
train standing at the depot and were
taken across the Rainy river,
Ontario.
Large Area On Fire.
The whole country east of here is
on fire. Roosevelt, Swift, Williams
and Cedar Spur are in great danger
All the women and children are be-
ing rapidly removed to places of
safety.
The people OF Beaudette and Spoo'
ner and the settlers through the
north central part of the State have
lost everything. Five thousand are
homeless, and the greater part OF
them destitute. Help must reach
them in the next day or two, as the
majority are only half clad and cold
weather is likely to set in at al ~
time.

REJECTED BY HIS
 NATIVE LAND HE'S
 ACCEPTED HERE
Special from United Press.


 Washington, Aug. 2O-Refused en- try by Cuba, rejected by his native land and apparently "a man without a country, Marcelyino Uribe, Mex ican, was today accepted by Immi- grafton officials at New York city in response to orders from the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor. Uribe first came to America four years ago and obtained a position as an iron worker. To all appearances he has been industrious and prosper ous. He heard the call of the land of his childhood. A year ago he smuggled himself a stowaway in the hold of a vessel bound for Cuba sat isfied that he would soon see the shores of his home land.
 nation tribe was apprehended by the Cuban immigration officials refusing entry and was ordered deported to the United States. He escaped from the Cuban officials and succeeded in slowing away in a Mexican vessel de- termined that he would in some way reach Mexico. When the boat ar rived at her dock he was nabbed again and refused entrance. Trial after trial failed to gain access into Cuba. Firing of these unsuccessful attempts he decided that the United States was good enough for him. He made his way back to New York only to be detained again by immi- grafton officials and confined on Ellis Island He told his story and the case was appealed to the department It was learned that his former em- ployer would take him back and to- day Uribe is happy, at least for a while

BRIDGE CLOSED TO WEST BOUND
 TRAFFIC SUNDAY

All west bound vehicles approach ing the Pequonnock river by Strat- ford avenue must cross by way of the new Congress street bridge beginning tomorrow.
 Director of Public Works Kenny has secured detail of police to en- force this order, owing to the unset tied condition of Stratford avenue during the completion of the paving work now in progress.
 East bound vehicles may pass over the Stratford avenue or lower bridge, as usuual, but all vehicle traffic from the west will not be permitted to go further west than Kossuth street. Thence it will be diverted to the new bridge. -
 Director Kenny said this course had been adopted for public safety, for to allow both east and west bound traffic in the narrowed thor oughfare would be to run too great risk. Pedestrians may use the bridge as usuual.
