Secretary Day Says the Peace Commis
sion Will Finish Its fori Bstore
Congress Meets this Winter.
THE SITUATION
IS CLEARING UP
Spaniards Indisposed to Prolong the
Negotiations Since Becoming Con
vinced that No Outside Aid Can
Be Expected.
New York, Oct. 10. A dispatch to
the Herald-from Washington eaye :
From a dispatch received from Chair
man Day, the authorities are etill of the
opinion that the work of the peace com
mission will be completed by the time
congress meets. Mr. Day takes quite
an optomistic view of the situation. It
is his desire to limit the time of discus
sion of the various points raised as much
as possible, in order that the negotia
tions may reach an early conclusion.
Information which has been received
here, shows conclusively that Spain has
no further hope of foreign intervention,
and this fact leads the authorities to the
belief that she will sot attempt to drag
the negotiations out as long as she would
if she thought there was a chance of any
European government attempting to se
cure a modification of the American
terms.
The United States may submit a dip
lomatic protest to Spain through the
French government against its action
in sending a Spanish auxiliary cruiser
loaded with arms and ammunition to
the Philippines. In any event, the mat'
ter is under consideration, and it is be
lieved has been called to the attention
of the American commissioners now in
Paris.
FOREST FIRES
SPREADING AGAIN
Colorado Intermountain and State and
East River Districts Devastated
Gothic in Danger.
Marble, Colo., Oct. 10. The big for
est fires are gaining momentum again
the fall of enow a week ago in the Elk
mountains in range only having proved
a temporary check. The cattle herds
are being removed from the muddy
meadows, as prairie fires are sweeping
them. The intermountain country is
ablaze in several places, one of the heav
ieat of the fires devasting the country
between Slate and East rivers and the
Pittsburg breakers, and the town of
Gothic is again threatened.
A big blaze has been started on Belle
vue mountain, on the Maroon trail of
Eagt Rock Cresk.
From the West Elk mountains come
reports of the narrow escape ot Crystal
prospectors, who had to move camp
three times in one night.
DID NOT JOIN
THE CONFERENCE
Yesterday's Attempt to Compromise the
Leech Lake Trouble a Failure
Situation Still Grave.
Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 10. Fed
eral and state authorities are now work
in harmony towards quelling the In
dian revolt. General Bacon offered to
confer with Governor Clough, but the
latter advised a conference by wire. He
received the following message from
Bucon :
"Situation bad. Conference yester
day resulted in nothing. No Indian
chiefs there. Lumbermen all coming
into Walker. Troops needed at Cass
ake."
Construction crews on the northwest
extention of the Brainerd & Northern,
at Bemadji and northward to Cass lake
have joined the refugees at Walker, and
t may be necessary to send them back
to work under guard, as these two ex
tentions in the event of a prolongation
of the trouble would be of great strategic
value. Troops may be placed at other
places in addition to the present forces
at Fosston line points.
From Park river the governor received
a personal statement, signed by chief
Ned Gay Bug Enanoway Eush, as fol
lows: "Pine Point. Oct. 9. We, the Chip
pewa Indians, at Pine Point beg to state
to the public that we are perfectly friend-
y to the whites, and have no ill feeling,
and are in no way hostile. We decided
at a council not to take any part what
ever in the Leech lake trouble." -
Millions Given Away!
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the needy
and suffering. The proprietors of Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption,
Caughs and Colds, have given away over
ten million trial bottles of this great
medicine; and haye the satisfaction of
knowing it has absolutely cured thous
ands of hopeless cases. Asthma, Bron
chitis, Hoarseness and diseases of the
Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely
cured by it. Call on Blakeley & Hough
ton, druggists, and get a trial bottle free.
Regular size 50c. and $1. Every bottle
guaranteed, or price refunded. 3

How to Prevent Cronp.
We have two children who are eubject
to attacks of croup. Whenever an attack
is coming on my wife gives them Cham-
berlin's Cough Remedy and it always
prevents the attack. It is a household
necessity in thisjeountry, and no matter
what else we run out of, it would not do
to be without Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. More of it is sold here than
of all other cough medicines combined.

recommend it because it never fails to
effect a speedy and permanent cure.

AN ANSWER
WHICH DOES
NOT ANSWER
Secretary Alger's Reply to the Iniesti
. gating Committee's Question is
Yery Unsatisfactory.
WHOLE REPORT
IS FARCIAL
Secretary Will Be Called Upon to Fur
nish a Complete Report Matter
of Locating (if Army Camps Barely
Touched Upon in Report.
New Yobk, Oct. 10. A dispatch to
the herald from Washington eays:
Secretary Alger has eent an answer to
the war investigating committee, which,
in the words of one of the commissioners
"does not answer."
"In the first place," said this commis
sioner, "we asked who had been influ
ential in selecting the camp sites. The
only answer vouchsafed is that General
Lee selected the camp at Jacksonville. I
do not think that any other camp is
mentioned. But this omission will, no
doubt, be remedied in the supplement
al report for which we will call upon the
secretary."
Secretary Alger's report includes 3000
words, and in addition to the Jackson
ville camp matter, covers only these
points:- The selection of Tampa as a
point of embarkation; Rear-Admiral
Sampson's dispatch ; the cause of has
tening troops to Santiago ; Commodore
Remey'e dispatch; the cause of the
subsequent delay of the troops. Discus
cussion of these points exhausts the re
port. No attempt eeems to have been
made to explain the cause of the
hardships suffered by the soldiers in
Tampa. The matter is bruehed aside
with apparent contempt in the relation
that Tampa was considered a good loca
tion and the most convenient place of
embarkation.
Secretary Alger will be asked for a
more complete answer.
The program of the commission for
this week is to have no witnesses ex
cept those who may be caught passing
through Washington. The time will be
spent in reading the voluminous report
of the adjutant-general, then the report
of Surgeon-General Sternberg, and then
the reports of other heads of depart
ments.
Members of the commission expect to
leave for a tour of the camps a week
from Monday. They go first to camp
Meade before it breaks up. They will
go to JackEonville, where Colonel Bryan
will be one of the principal witnesses.
The tour of the camps, it is thought, will
consume about two weeks. The com
mission will return to Washington and
later go to New York city.
In New York two prominent witnesses
will be called Colonel Theodore Koos
evelt and R. B. Roosevelt. The latter
made grave charges against the admin
istration of Commissary-General Agan,
and he will be asked to substantiate
them.
