Denvjw, Col., Oct. 1. The weather
man can offer no hopo for thoso on tho
western slopo whoso homes and crops
aro threatened by tho forest fires.
Thcro nro no indications whatever of
rain, and this seems to bo tho only cl
ement able to stay tho flames' fury.
Throughout Knglo county high winds
have prevailed, giving a fresh impetus
to tho forest fires that aro devastating
tho timber domain. In consequence
new territory Is devastated. The blar.o
is rapidly extending along the Grand
reserves of Uirard mountain, west of
Homcstako creek, nnd from present
appearances will sweep the country to
Hear mountain nt Mlnturn.
Back of Mlnturn to thn heads of
Willow and Two Kile, tlio country is
devastated, llttlo remaining to feed
tho flames. From Uooslcr mountain
tlio wind has driven the tiro to tho
edgo of Gypsum creek. The settlers
of Upper Gypsum, Cannon and Collins
aro fighting desperately to snvo their
homes and btop its passage before the
magnificent forests of West Ilrush aro
destroyed. If it gets into Hrusli the
finest body of timber in tho state is
doomed. No loss of Jlfo has been re
ported, but several persons havo lost
their homes and their crops. All the
game is leaving tho country, driven
out by the biuoko und heat of the blaz
ing woods.
Dispatches say that Whcylcy'o peak,
between North and Middle park, is
now a mass of flames. It is greatly
feared that they will extend to both of
those beautiful camping grounds. Tho
firo has already cut a swath thlrtyfivo
miles long, from tho Grand river al
most to Dillon, in Summit county.
Tho width is as yet unknown. Krcmm
ling, in Grand county, has had a nar
row escape, und tho danger ia not yet
entirely over.
Uatticmeut government reserve,
bounded by tho Grand river upon the
north, Roaring Fork upon tlio cast
and tho Guuuisou upon tho west, is a
mass of flame. This rescrvo runs
through tlio countiesof Garfield, Doha
and Mesa. Tho big White river gov
ernment reserve, starting in Garfield
county and extending through Koutt
and Ulo Hlanco, Is also on tins. Re
liable reports show that tho fires are
now nearly 300 miles in circumfer
ence, with Gienwood for a center, mid
practically every mountain range
with timber is ablaze.

A CITY OF SICK AND DEAD,
Gtncral Wood Deu-rlhra Santiago Aftel
tho Sarrentlcr.
Washington, Oct. 1. Secretary
Alger has received a long letter from
General Leonard Wood, military gov
crnor of Santiago. It is personal to a
great extent, but Secretary Alger has
allowed some extracts to bo published.
Tho secretary feels that General Wood,
combining his medical skill with high
soldierly qualities and executive abil
ity, has met nnd overcomo tho prob
lems presented at Santiago. Tho let
ter presents vividly tho frightful con
ditions that confronted the American
army of occupation after the surren
der of Santiago.
General Wood says in part: "I have
had a very diillcult position from a
tianltary point of view and not alto
gether an easy ono from a military
and civil standpoint. When wo camo
Into the city the sanitary situation
was something frightful. Thero wcro
a great main' uuburlcd dead in the
houses, botwecn 2,000 and 3,000 Span
ish wounded nnd bicle, and a great
ltordo of half famished and sick peo
ple, nearly 20003 in number, who had
just returned from Kl Cancy, whero
they had gono during tho siege.
Tho water supply of tho city had
been cut off; there was no water to bo
obtained except from cisterns nnd a
few wells, nml tho streets were full of
dead animals und nil sorts of filthy
materials I had to start in from tho
bottom and repair tho waterworks.
Then camo tho removal of tho dead.
Some of these wero burned, becnuso
tho number was so great and decompo
sition had advanced to such an extent
that they could not bo burled. Horn
ing Is not uncommonly practiced hero
during thu epidemic bcason.
"Wo havo yellow fever all around
us, and about twenty eases in the
Spanish military hospital. Tho civil
hospital was full of dying people, and
public buildings wcro being used a3
hospitals. 1 have been working sys
tematically with every moans at hand
to improve tlio bauitary condi
tion of the city. 1 havo n force
of about 170 men constantly em
ployed and nt many times havo had
nearly double this forco working
day and night to remove tho vast ac
cumulations of indescribablo filth
which has accumulated in tho out
houses nnd yurds, as well as tho streets
of tho cllj which is reputed to bo ono
of tlio most unhealthy and dirty in tho
world. Tho death rato has dropped
steadily sluco wo camo in nnd is now
about one-fourth of what it was in
July. Tho water system has been put
in order and a groat many repairs
made to it, and tho supply, although
insulllclcnt, ia utilized to the greatest
udvantage.
"1 havo had to hire doctors for tho
hospitals, purchase mcdlclno for them,
and supply them with beds and bed
ding and food, in fact, re-establish and
take entire charge of them. I havo
also established a strict system of
house inspection and inspection of tho
streets, and havo a disinfecting depart
ment as woll as a cleaning dopartment.
Tho city has bson divided into live
districts la each of which is a relief
station where food is distributed and
a physician in attendance who pro
scribes for those who present them
selves sick, and visits tho Bick in tho
houses. I am issuing at prosont nboat
15,000 rations u day. The physicians
are probably prescribing for about COO
or 700 'people, aud soma days many
more. These physicians aro natlvo
Cubans, educated in tho United States
and employed by our government as
iontrnct surgeons.
"It lias long bcon tho custom in this
town to depend upon heavy rains and
tho rushing floods through tho streets
to sweep away tho accumulated 111th
of tho dry season. All this has been
swept down to tho wator front, whera
it has bcon collecting for years, chok
ing tho drains and filling the shal
low waters near tho shore, sa that
when tho tide iroes ont masses of
dumping material nro exposed to tho
intensu rays of tho sun and furnish
frightful caiwo of dlsoasa. Lator this
j-car, when tlio opldcmlo season shall
have passed, it is my intention, if I
am granted funds nnd authority, to
havo tho shallow places dredged out,
so that nt least a thin layer of water
will cover them at low tido and pro
vent the present condition of affairs.
"Tho great expert on yellow fever,
Dr. Gultcrns, assured mo lu July that
an epidemic of yellow fever ot great
tavcrlty was absolutely unavoidable,
und that wo wero destined to loso a
largo proportion of our peoplo here.
Thus fur it has been avoided, and not
only avoided, but to-day I don't know
of an authentic cp.so of gonulno yellow
fever In Santiago do Cuba proper, and
every day increases our chances of
escape."
General Wood discusses tho problem
of getting tho Cuban army disbanded
and tho men composing it at work, In
discussing this phabo ot tho situation
ho, seems to think tliat it will bo
necessary todlseourago the idea among
Mm Cubans that rations will bo con-
ttuntly issued to them. General Wood
iya that all indications now point to
the speedy disbanding of tho Cuban
army. Ho says tho feeling of the
better class of Cubans toward the
Americans ia very kind and they np
preelato what tho United States if
trying to da
FREE.
