Secretary Root Making Plans
For the Next One.
It TVM lie an Extensive On and Intend
ed lo Cruah the Filipinos ai boon a
Possible Mora llian On Army Can,
Operate to Advantage and Our Forcei
Will lie Divided.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. The map
of the Philippine and especially of that
portion of the Island of Luzon, north
and south of Manila which has been
prepared for the use of Secretary Root
may assume a more Important part in
the coming campaign than has been
given it heretofore. Secretary Root
has not only ascertained where the
United States troops are located, and
has them nicely marked off on the
map, but he hag also taken Into con
sideration such information as can be
obtained relative to the population of
the adjacent country, the kind of peo
ple and their disposition toward the
United States. The secretary has also
been studying the lines of transporta
tion and learning what he can of the
geography of the country.
It is believed shat more than one
army can operate to advantage In the
Philippines and the suggestion has been
made by some army officers that an
army should start from different pointt
and operate in such a manner as to dis
tract and destroy the Filipino forces.
At present the United States forces do
not occupy the line of railway half way
to Llngayen on the gulf of the same
name. It has been suggested that II
one force were to start from Llng
ayen and move south at the same time
that another was moving north there
would be a great probability of soon
securing the entire railway for the
use of the army and the Insurgents
would be separated into divisions east
and west by the railroad as they are
now divided into northern and southern
bands. Between Angles, and Llng
ayen Is Thrlac, a town of considerable
size and situated in a province where
the natives are said not to be unfriend
ly to the United State. If this prov
ince could be occupied It might be of
great advantage to the government.
While these are now merely sugges
tions, It may be that when the army In
the Philippine consists of 60.000 men,
Instead of about 20,000 or 23,000, it will
be possible to have four or more armies
operating, instead of two, as during
the last campaign.
The locations of troops, as marked by
pins on the map prepared for Secretary
Root, show the places occupied ns fob
low:
North of Manila, 'under General Mac
Arthur A point above Angelea (Gen
eral Wheaton), Angeles, Porac, Cal
uculut, Sta Rita, San Fernando (Mac
Arthur), Hatls, Candaha, San Luis

Two More Kngagements Itetween Our
Forces and the Insurgents.
MANILA, Aug. 21. One lieutenant

t'nelr positions.
Lieutenant Cole of the Sixth Infant

gents entrenched in the mountain ol
the Island of Nefros and routed them
after an hour and a half of severe
fighting.
The American had three men (slight
ly wounded.
Nineteen dead Insurgents wore count
ed In the trenches.
Six rlflea and a quantity of reserve
ammunition were captured.
The Insurgents recently cut the cable

HAMPTON, Vu.. Aug. 22 Just as

TWO MILLION DOLLAR FIRE.
Victor, Cel., Almost Entirely Wiped Oat
by a Conflagration.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Col., Aug. 22.
Fire has entirely destroyed the business
portion of the city of Victor, causing a
loss estimated at $2,000,000. Beginning
shortly after noon, the fire raged un
til night, consuming everything In Its
way. It had It origin, It is thought. In
(he Merchants' cafe, adjoining tbJe
Bank of Victor, corner of Third street
and Victor avenue. A strong wind
from the south fanned the flames and
in a few minutes all the surrounding
houses were afire.
Help was summoned from Cripple
Creek, but the town had been built in
the early days of the camp and was of
pine timber for the most part and
burned like tinder.
Efforts were made to stop the progress
of the flames by blowing up buildings
in their path by means of dynamite,
but the effort was In vain.
The Are burned the Bank of Victor,
the postoflice on the corner opposite,
crossed Third street and followed the
row of blocks between Third and
Fourth streets to the north, taking in
the Victor Banking company, the
Western Union Telegraph' company'
office and the office of the Colorado
Telephone company, the Hotel Victor
on the opposite side of Fourth street
and the three great shaft houses of
the Gold Coin Mining company and its
ore bins, among the largest In the
Cripple Creek district.
From there the flames were swept
northward by the gale and never
stopped until they had taken the Flor
ence and Cripple Creek depot and the
fine new depot of the Midland Terminal
road at the head of Fourth street. All
the buildings between these are a total
loss, with practically all their con
tents. The scene of the great Cripple Creek
flre were duplicated. Hurrying before
the roaring flames went men, women
and children, carrying what they could
snatch from the flames, racing for
their lives. The crash of buildings a
they were torn asunder by dynamite
and the crackle of the flames a they
consumed the dry buildings, hastened
their flight and the pall of smoke added
a terror to the spectacle.
A special train was placed at the
command of the city by the Florence
and Cripple Creek railroad and three
companies of firemen, with apparatus
were rushed to the scene. They worked
all the afternoon on a vain endeavor
to stay the march of the flames. The
residence portions of the city suffered
comparatively little but the business
Is paralyzed and suffering Is bound to
follow.
The first house was built In Victor In
October, 1893. In July of the following
year the city was Incorporated and six
years later it contained 10,000 people:
That is about the population now.
GREAT YEAR FOR TRAVEL
Railroads Carrying More Feople Than In
the World's Fair Year.
CHICAGO, Aug. 19. Passenger traffic
in all directions Is breaking all former
records. It Is even larger than In the
World's fair year. The movement let
not confined to any particular class of
business. Gains are as conspicuous
in local as in through traffic, In summer
tourist as In regular commercial and
mercantile business. The volume of
this travel is so great that all the roads
are pressed for. coaches, although they
have been supplementing their supplies
materially for two years.
For the fiscal year ended on June SO,
in many Instances it was passenger
earnings that kept the balance on the
right side. Freight earnings showed
a decrease, but this was more than
offset by the gains in passenger earn
ings. Since June freight traffic has
rallied materially, and Is again rush
ing In tremendous volume, but it ha
not increased at any greater ratio than
passenger business. Rates have been
well maintained.

ARCTIC HISTORY MADE
Walter Wellman's Expedition
Has Been Heard From.
gene New Lands Dlsoorered and Hith
erto Unknown Regions Explored and
Important Scientific Woik Done A
Grim Story of Aretlo Tragedy The Kx
plorer Was Badly Injured,
TROMSOE, Island of Tromsoe, Nor
way, Aug. 18. Walter Wellman and the
survivors of the Polar expedition led
by him have Just arrived here on the
steamer Capella, having successfully
completed their explorations In Franz
Tosef Land.
Mr. Wellman has discovered import
ant new lands and many Islands.
The expedition brings a grim story of
Arctic tragedy. In the autumn of 1896
an outpost called Fort McKinley was
established in latitude 81. It was a
house built of rocks and roofed over
with walrus hide. ' Two Norwegians,
WALTER WEtXMAK.
Paul Bjoervig and Bert Bentzen, the
latter of whom was with Nansen on
the Fram, remained there.
The main party wintered in a canvas
covered hut called Harm'sworth House
at Cape Tegethoff on the southern
point of Hall's Island, latitude 80.
About the middle of February, before
the rise of the sun to its winter height,
Mr. Wellman with three Norwegians
u nd 45 dogs started north. It was the
earliest sledge Journey on record in that
high latitude.
On reaching Fort McKinley, Mr,
Wellman found Bentzen dead, but
Bjoervig, according to promise, had
kept the body In the house, sleeping
beside it through two months of Arctic
darkness. Notwithstanding his terrible
experience, the survivor was safe and
cheerful.
Pushing northward through rough
Ice and severe storms, with a continu
ous temperature for ten days between
forty and fifty degrees below zero, the
party found new lands north of Free
dom Island, where Nansen landed in
1S15.
By the middle of March all hands
were confident of reaching latitude 87
or 88 If not the pole itself.
Then began a succession of disasters
Mr. Wellman while landing the party
fell Into a snow covered cj-evasse, serl
ously injuring one of his legs and com
pelling a retreat.
Two days later the party was roused
at midnight by an ice quake undei
them, due to pressure. In a few mo
ments many dogs were crushed and the
sledges destroyed. The members of the
expedition narrowly escaped with theli
lives, though they managed to save
their precious sleeping bag and some
dogs and provisions.
On Mr. Wellman's condition becom
ing alarming, as inflammation set In,
the brave Norwegians dragged him on
a sledge by forced marches nearly 20C
miles lo headquarters, arriving there
early last April. Mr. Wellman is still
unable lo walk and will probably be
permanently crippled.
After reaching headquarters, othei
members of the expedition explored re
glons hitherto unknown, and important
scientific work was done by Lieutenant
Evelyn B. Baldwin of the United Statef
weather bureau, Dr. Edward Hofma of
Grand Haven. Mich., and Mr. A. Har
lan of the United States coast survey.
Mr. Wellman and his companions
found no trace in Franz Josef Land ol
of the missing aeronaut, Professor An-
dree.

one of the famous outl nv brothers now

a statement that his brother Mart and
Joe Brownswelger are inno.ent men in

nor were they present when the booty
was divided. They, however, were

ShaefTer was known to have $700 In the
house.
Ike would not say who did the shoot
ing or robbery, his Hps being sealed.
He would neither admit or deny that
Abe Buzzard, now in the penitentiary
