DENVER, Colo., Sept. 30.—Reports from the Western portion of the State continue to tell of the ravages of the forest fires ‘which bid fair to devastate the greater part of the forests of the State.

It is dated on board the transport China, August 31. After giving briefly the story of his embarkation and ar- rival at Manila and the disposition of the troops there he says: I found General Greene's command en-. camped on a strip of sandy land running parallel to the shore of the bay and not far distant from the beach, but, owing to the great difficulties of landing sup- plies, the greater portion of the force had shelter tents only and were suffering many discomforts, the camp being situ- ated in a low, flat place, without shelter | from the heat of the tropical sun or ade- quate protection during the terrific down- hours of rain, so frequent at this season. }°Was ‘at once struck by the exemplary ed.

The forest fires were swept into the city from the southwest | force at about 5 o’clock last night by a tor- nado. The air was filled with smoke and burning cinders, and the fire start- ed on the east and st sides of town about the same time. The flames spread with a rapidity that threatened notonly the entire city but the lives of the in- habitants. Every part of the town was filled with smoke and flying firebrands, and the people were running in every direction panic-stricken with horror. Two freight trains took about a hun- part of the State were | | quenched by a heavy fall of rain late | Th e families were rendered homeless by | detac The | | dred people to Shell Lake, and hun- | dreds more sought the western lake shore for safetv. Meanwhile the Volunteer Fire De- partment did heroic work in trying to save the business portion of the city. The wind had now assumed the voloc- ity of a tornado, and the atmosphere was lurid with flames and the air was filled with flylng firebrands. A timely dewnpour of rain, lasting about twenty minutes, enabled the firemen to check the progress of the flames on the w side of the city, but no human power could save the city east of the Omaha Railroad, including the lumber yard and mills of the Beaver Dam Lumber Com- pany and residences, among the latter the fine ho of Mayor Waterman. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 30.—A dis- patch from Rice Lake says the forest fires in that vicinity were checked by light rains last night. Fifty farmers near Rice Lake lost all their posses- sions. The Johnson Bros.' Lumber Company, six miles west, lost its mill and stock of hardwood lumber, with no insurance. The town of Alemena, near Rice Lake, is reported destroyed. The Soo Railroad bridge near Alemena was burned, stopping all trains on that line. No loss of life has been reported. The greatest damage has been done in the townships of Cumberland, Turtle Lake, Clinton, Stanford, Barron, Oak Grove and Cedar. A special from Eau Claire says the rthwestern Lumber Company lost ,000,000 feet of saw logs above Stan- | t | his | trying to stop the flames, but with lit- |lars alike, accept the necessary hardships | tle success. No estimate can be placed | f the work they have undertaken to do, has grown and increased with every gathered | phase of the difficult and trying campaign | which the troops of the Philippine expedi- | tion have brought to such a brililant and | successtul conciusion. - he Filipinos, or insurgent forces at war | with_Spain, had, prior to the arrival of | the American land forces, been waging a | desultory warfare with the Spaniards for 1 months, and were at the time of my arrival in considerable force, various- ly estimated and never accurately ascer- tained, but probably not far from 25,00. e’ troops, well supplied with small arms, with plenty of ammunition and sev- eral field guns, had obtained positions of investment opposite the Spanish line of ed works throughout thelr entire eV extent. General Merritt then speaks of what Aguinaldo had accomplished previous | to his arrival, and continues General Aguinaldo did not visit me on my arrival nor offer his services as a sub- ordinate military leader, and, my in- structions from the President fully con- | templated the occupation of the islands | by the American land forces, as it w { stated that the powers of the military oc- upant are absolute and supreme and im- mediately operate on the political condi- tion of the inhabitants, I did not consider it wise to hold any direct communication with the insurgent leader, until I should | be in possession of the city of Manila, es- cially as 1 would not, until then, be in a position to issue a proclamation and en- my authority, in the event that his retensions should clash with my designs. X 5 sons the preparations for the attack on the city were pressed and i operations conducted without reference to the situation of the insurgent forces. The wisdom of this course was subsequently fully established by the fact that when the tréops of my command car- ried the Spanish intrenchments, extending from the sea to the Pasay road on the ex- treme Spanish right, we were under no obligations, by prearranged plans of mu- tual attack, to turn to the right and clear the front still held against the insurgents, ve forward at once and suburbs. situation of General 1 found it_on my arrival, it will be seen that the difficulty in gaining an avenue of approach to the Spanish line lay in the fact of my d inclination to ask General Aguinaido | withdraw from the beach and ‘“‘Calle { Real,” so that Greene could move for- | ward. This was overcome by Instructions to General Greene to arrange, with the insurgent brigade comman immediate_ vicinity to move to the right and allow the American forces un- obstructed control of the roads in their immediate front. No objection was made, and accordingly General Greene's brigade threw forward a heavy outpost line on the “Calle R and the beach and con- structed a trench in which some of the guns of the Utah Battery were placed. The Spanish, observing this activity on sharp attack with infantry’ and artillery on the . night of July 31 The behavior of our troops dur- ing this night attack was all that vould be desired, and I have in cablegrams to the War Department taken occasion to commend by name those who deserve spe- clal mention for good conduct in_the af- ir.

The strain of the night fighting and the heavy details for outpost duty made it fmperative to reinforce General Greene's troops with General MacArthur’s brigade, which had arrived in the transports on | the 3ist of Jul The difficulties of this operation can hardly be overestimated. | The transports were at anchor off Ca- | vite, five miles from a point on the beach | p! and occupy the city To return to the Greene's brigade, @ MERRITT PRAISES WORK OF AMERICAN Hardships Endured Without Mur- mur and Great Bravery Displayed.

TEMPLETON, Cal., Sept. 30.—The busi- ness portion of Templeton, consisting of one block, was destroyed by a fire this morning. which is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. . The losses are: H. Peterson. hardware store, part of stock saved, $5000; insured for $2300. Mrs. Claughton’s restaurant, $1000; no in- surance. Miller $ S!\lgm\f'fl saloon, $1500; urance $200.

The ingurance rates are so high here tht “>w were Insured. There is no water system, and It was impossible to save any of the bufldlnsfl in the block. The people turned out and did all they could to con- fine the fire to the block. The total loss of property is about $20,000. % | the omly way to get the troops and sup- | plies ashore. was to load them from the ship's_side into native lighters (called | cascos) or small steamboats, move them to a point opposite the camp and then dis- embark them through the surf ni small boats or by running the lighters head on to the beach. The landing was finally accomplished, after days of hard work and hardship, and I desire here to ex- | press again my admiration for the forti- tude and cheerful willingness of the men of all .commands engaged in this opera- | tion. | "¥hon the assembly of MacArthur's briz- | ade’in_support of Greene's 1 had about 500 men {n position to attack, and I | deemed the time had come for final ac- | tion. During the time of the night at- | tacks 1 had communicated my desire to | Admiral Dewey that he would allow his Ships to open fire on the right of tne | Spanish line of entrenchments, believing that such action would stop the night fir- | ing and loss. of life, but the admiral had declined to order it unless we were in danger of losing our position by the as- gaults of the Spanish, for the reason that, | in his opinion, it would precipitaic a gen. | eral engagement, for which ne was not | ready. Now, however, the brigade of Gen- | eral MacArthur was in position and the | Monterey had arrived, and under date of August 6 Admiral Déwey agreed to my suggestion that we should send a_foint general notifying | letter to ghe captain him that he should remoye from the. city all non-combatants within fortv-eight | hours and_that operations against the de- fonses of Manila might begin at any time ascer the expiration of that period. By orders issued some time previously, MacArthur's and Greene's brigades were | organized as the second division of the Eighth Army Corps, Brigadier General Thomas Anderson commanding, and in anticipation of the attack General An- Mrs. | derson moved -his headquarters from Ca- vite to the brigade camps and assumed direct command in the field. Coples of ied by J. ¥. | the written and verbal instructions re- “ooley’s 10ss | ferred to above and appended hereto Postoffice building, | were given to the division and brigade the troops were in position on’ the 13th at an early hour in the morning, About 9 a. m. on that day our fleet steamed forward from Cavite and. before 10 a. m. opened a hot and accurate fire of heavy shells and rapid fire projectiles on the sea flank of the Spanish entrench- ments at the powder magazine fort and at the same time the Utah batteries, in position in our trenches near the Calle dT MANILA began firing with great accuracy. on a prearranged signal from our trenches that it was believed our troops could advance, the navy ceased firing and immediately a light line of skirmishers from the Colorado regiment of Green€'s brigade passed over our trenches and de- ployed rapidly forward, another line from the same regiment from the left flank of our earthworks advancing swiftly up the beach in open order. Both these lines found the powder magazine fort and the trenches flanking it deserted, but as they passed over the Spanish works they were met by a sharp fire from a second line situated in the streets of Malate, by which a number of men were killed and wounded, among others one soldier who pulled down the Spanish colors still fly- ing on the fort and raised our own. The works of the second line soon gave way to the determined advance of Greene's troops, and that officer pushed his brigade rapidly through Malate and | over the bridges to occupy Binondo and San Miguel, as contemplated in his in- | structions. ' In the meantime the bri- | gade of General MacArthur,” advancing simultaneously on the Pasay road, en- | countered a very sharp fire, coming from the blockhouses, trenches and woods in front, positions which it was very diffi- cult o carry, owing to the swampy con- dition of thé ground on both sides of the roads and the heavy undergrowth concealing the enemy. With much gal- lantry and excellemt judgment on the | part of the brigade commander and the | troops engaged these difficulties were overcome with a_minimum loss, and Mac-'| Arthur advanced and held the bridges | and the town of Malate, as was contem- plated by his instructions. The city of Malate was now In our pos- sessfon, excepting the walled town, but shortly’ after the entry of our troops into Malate a white flag displayed on the alls, whereupon Lieutenant Colonel C. | A. Whittier, U. 8. of my staff, and Lieutenant Brumb . N., represent- g Admiral Dew ent ashore to communicate with the captain general. | I soon personally followed these officers into the town, going at once to the palace | of the Governor General, and thére, after a conversa Spanish authori- ties a preliminary agreement of the| terms of capitulation was signed by the captain general and myself. This agree- ment was subsequently incorporated into | the formal terms of capitulation, as ar- | ranged by the officers representing the | two forces. | Immediately after the surrender the | Spanish_colors on the front were | hauled down and the American flag dis- played and saluted by the guns of the | navy. The Second Oregon Regiment, which had proceeded by sea from Cavite. was mbarked and entered the walled town as a provost guard and the colonel | was directed to receive the Spanish arms | and deposit them in places of security. | The town was filled with troops of the enemy driven in from the entrenchments, regiments formed and standing in line in the streets, but the work of disarming proceeded quietly and nothing unpleasant occurred. In leaving the subject of the operations of the 13th I desire bere to record my appreciation of the admirable manner in WK!ch the orders for attack and the plan for occupation of the city were carried out by the troops exactly as contemplated. I submit that for troops to enter under fire a_town covering a wide area, to rapidly deploy and guard all principal points in the extensive sub- urbs, to keep out the insurgent forces pressing for admission, to quietly disarm an army of Spaniards more than equal in number to the American troops, and final- ly by all this to_ prevent entirely all rapine, pillage and disorder and gain en- tire and complete possession of a city of 300,000 people, filled with natives hostile to European interests and stirred up by the knowledge that their own people were fighting in the outside trenches was an | act which only the law abiding, temper- ate, resolute American soldier, weil and | skillfully handled by his regimental and brigade commanders, could accemplish. General Merritt then details the in- auguration of the military govern- ment of Manila by the Americans. Fur- ther he says: On the 16th a cablegram containing the text of the President’s proclamation di- recting a cessation of hostilities was re- celved by me d at the same time an order to make the fact known to the Spanish authorities, which was dene at once. This resulted in a formal protest from the Governor General in regard to the transfer of public funds then taking place, on the ground that the proclama- tion was dated prior to the surrender. To this :I replied that the status quo in which we were left with the cessation of hostilities was that existing at the time of the receipt by me of officlal no- tice, and that I must Insist upon the de- livery of the funds. The delivery was made under protest. After the issue of my proclamation, and the establishment of my office as Mili- tary Governor, I had direct written com- munication with General Aguinaldo on several occasions. He recognized my au- thority as Military Governor of the town of Manila and suburbs, and made profes- sions of his wiilingness to withdraw his troops to a line which I might indicate, | but at the same time asking certin fa- vors_for himself.

Doubtless much dissatisfaction is felt by the rank and file of the Insurgents that they have not been permitted to enjoy the occupancy of Ma- nfla, and there is some good ground for trouble with them owing to the fact, but notwithstanding many rumors to the con- trary, I am of the opinion that the lead- ers will be able to prevent serious dis- turbances, as they are sufficiently intelli- gent and educated to know that to an- tagonize the United States would be to destroy their only chance of future politi- cal improvement. I may add that great changes for the better have taken place in Manila since the occupancy of the city by American troops. The streets have been cleaned under the management of General Mac- Arthur, and the police, under Colonel Reeve, Thirteenth Minnesota, were most efficient in preserving order. A stranger to the city might easily Imagine that the American forces had been in control for months rather than days. In concluding his report General Merritt- declares his indebtedness for the success of the expedition to the bri- gade division commanders. the mem- bers of his staff and his personal aids. He commends especially Brigadier R. H. Hughes, Brigadier General Babcock, Major McClure, Major Whipple and Captain Mott for valuable services ren- dered. % All the documents, orders and procla- mations referred to in the report and appended to the same have heretofore been published. ADVERTISEMENTS. SINGULAR STATEMENT. From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham. The following letter to Mrs. Pink- ham from Mrs. M. RANE, No. 2,354 East Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia, Pa., is a remarkable statement of re- lief from utter discouragement. She says: “Inever can find words with which to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me. o *‘Some years ago I had womb trouble and doctored for a long time, not see- ing any improvement. At times I would feel well enough, and other times was miserable. So it went on until last' October, I felt something terrible creeping over me, I knew ndt what, but kept getting worse. I can hardly explain my feelings at that time. I was so depressed in spirits that I did not wish to live, although I had everything to live for. Had hys- teria, was very nervous; could not sleep and was not safe to be left alone. ‘“‘Indeed, I thought I would lose my mind. No one knows what I endured. ‘1 continued this way until the last of February, when I saw in a paper a testimonial of a lady whose case was similar to mine, and who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta- ble Compound. I determined to try it, and felt better after the first dose. I continued taking it, and to-day am = well woman, and can say from my heart, ‘Thank God for such a medi- cine.’” Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering women to write to her at Lynn, Mass., for advice.
