Milwaukee, Oct. 4.—The pecuniary damage wronght by the forest fires in the northwest part of the state cannot be estimated at present. It may amount to anywhere between $1,000,- 000 and $5,000.

It is also believed many persons were burned to death in their efforts at fighting the flames and who were unable to escape when their efforts failed. A most thrilling experience was that of a party of loggers in charge of Au- gust Mason of Chippewa Falls. The lo ng crew were returning from the camps at Cedar lake. They had a race for their lives, having ndicap over the flames of eight miles, with but one mile to cover to reach a place of § The race was most exciting esuited in the probable loss of four of the crew. The party ran in two sections, making for a lake with all their might, mounted on horses.

Cyelone Sweeps the Georgin and South Cnrolina Coasts: Sayarneh, Ga., Oct. 4.—For eighteen hovvs Savannah has been in the grasp of a West Indian | cyclone. During hat time the wind blew steadily from ffiy to seventy miles an hour. While the city escaped with comparatively little damage, the loss of property nmong the sea islands of the Georgia South Carolina coasts is believed to be very heavy. For miles in every di- rection around Savannah the lowlands eng the rive re submerged. Only « fatality has so far been reported— the drowning of a negro while at- tempting to reach the mainland from 1 island near Thunderbolt—but y of life is feared on the Sovth rolina sea ‘lisands, where sneh fearful loss of life occurred d ing the great tidal storm of 1895. The conditions now are similar to those Jluring that storm. Owing to the sub- merged country and the isolation of the islands, no news can be had from them until the waters subside. For eight miles north of Savannah the Entire Country Is a Lake, only the hillocks visible. At noon the water was eight feet above ihe highest tide. Driven on shore by the northeast storm, it filled up on the islands, swept over the banks and daw arrying away the remnant of the rice crop that was left by the Au- gust storm and had not been gathered, and wiping out entire crops. The loss to vegetable growers alone will be $50,000 to $75,000. Of the entire rice crop along the Savannab river, valued at $250,000, all but about 15 per cent was lost in this and the preceding storm. The damage to shipping is con- siderable. The wharves at the quar- antine station at the entrance to the river here were partially carried away. Four vessels which were at anchor at the station were torn from their moorings and driven into the marshes. How badly these vessels are damaged is unknown. with THE MARKETS.

All parties are still awaiting the result of the Paris conference to determine the future of the islands. Hyen if a dele- gation from the dictator does wait upon Gen. Otis and offer him the pro- tectorate over the new “republic,” it is not likely the veteran commander will commit himself. Aguinaldo has been forced into action by botheads desir- ous of securing from the Americans some indication of the policy of the United States. ‘The dictator president does not occupy a very firm seat, and unless some definite reasons for his actions can be shown soon he realizes ithat his own life will be endangered.

McCord, an American mining engineer, who was imprisoned by the Peruvian govern- ment during the last revolution, for $50,000. The article says: “Surprise is expressed here at the article appear- ing in the American newspapers re- specting the present relations of.the United States and Peru and the lat- ter’s intentions. Peru simply protests before the world against the want of consideration and justice with which she has been treated. She bears no ill will, has no hostile intentions and is resigned to the consequence of the arbitration.” CHINESE OUTRAGES. It Is Grimly Said That England Will Call Attention to Them. London, Oct. 4.—The British foreign office received a dispatch from her majesty’s minister at Peking, saying that Mr. Mortimer, a member the British legation, on returning home yesterday with a lady was insulted and attacked by a mob, which stoned him and covered him with mud. Later in the day some American mis- sionaries..were similarly attacked, as was the Whinese secretary of the United States legation. The latter's ribs were broken. Sir Claude M.

It is reported that immense forest fires are raging on the range and they are gradually working their way to Cripple Creek. It is believed that the heat from these fires caused the high winds here dur- ing yesterday's fire, which formed such a strong opposing force against the efforts of ghose who were fighting the flames. EMPEROR TORTURED. Frightful Fate of the Late Ruler of the Chinese. London, Oct. 4. special dispatch from Shanghai says the announcement of the emperor's death is confirmed.

Camps in Cuba, Washington, Oct. 4—The war de partment has decided to send boards of officers to Cuba to investigate and report upon the location for camps for the army of occupation in that island. Each board will consist of a quarter- master, a commissary and a surgeon. Havana, Cienfuegos, Matanzas and Mariel will be visited.
