ing cablegram from Commander Mc
Lean, ot thu cruiser Cincinnati:
"Colon, Sept. 22. Tho United States

guarded by American naval force In

McLHAN."
A belief, which hns grown so strong
that it can no longer bo disregarded,
is held in Central and South American
diplomatic centers hero, and it should
bu stated that thu Impression prevails
in spitu of emphatic expressions of
high olllchtls of thu United States
government to tho contrary, that tho
largo naval force which hurl boon sent
to keep tho trnllle open across thu isth
mus will prevent, by its very prewnco,
thu continuation of hostilities along tho.
railroad on any extensive scale, and
soon bring them to a halt altogether;
that thu force has been sent there in
anticipation of an early signature of tho
Punuinu canal treaty, and that it will
bo kept there to maintain order and
quiet along the strip from Panama
to Colon, which, by thu tonus of tho
prospoctivo treaty, tlio Unltod Shitos is

TIAUJER CAN HE SAVED.
If Taken Out of Iiurut District nnd Used
Within Three Years.
Portland, Sept. 25. J, A. Buckly,
who controls a largo amount of timber
hind in Sknmania county, Washington,
in the region no recently devastated by
thu forest II res, bus just returned from
an inspection of the damage wrought
by thu destructive blaze. Mr. Buckly
says:
"Tho flro worked eastward from
Wind river to thu Lewis river (ountry,
burning a strip of turritory from 10
to 15 miles widu all thu way. This
strip is about 10 miles buck from the
river and lies in nearly an easterly and
westerly direction. Thu timber on
eight or nine townships was destroyed,
and it is estimated that it amounts to
4,000,000,000 or 5,000,000,000 feet in
till. A good donl of it is simply killed,
nud can be raved if it can he cut anil
brought out within tho next four vcurs.
"Tho fires weru started by careless,
settlers and campers, who build a blso
up against a big cedar log, and then go
away and leave It burning, It soon
spreads and then all Hie surrounding
country becomes involved, Such fires
wero started near Stovumon and Wash
ougul, and they wero, I think, tho main
causes for thu forust II res that fol
lowed," PINS MIS PAITII ON PUBLIC.

tury they would ruisu such it hue und
cry that thu men who own thu mines
nnd thu operators would not dnro op
