Alger owns large interests, all ablaze. Another fire of scarcely less magnitude exists in the upper peninsula. The iucline of the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic rail road, through Marquette, Houghton, B.i raga anil Ontanngon counties it in the path of the fl uiifs. Two railroad bridges have already gone on tbat liue, and the telegraph lines are in bad shape. The l ire Threatening the Town.

There is mile after mile of fire along the roadbed of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad south of Ishpeiuing and nearly to Escanaba. Tel egraph poles and railroad ties are bein? destroyed, and communication is likely to be cut off at any time. Nothing but a drenching rain of two (lays' duration can prevent tremendous damage.

Many farm houses and barns in the surrounding country are threatened with destruction, and in several directions in the suburbs of the town forces of men are figiitrug fires to keep them from the village. Uu less the present high wind goes down it is feared much damage will result. The air is so thick with smoke, nsbes, and cinders of burned leaves that it isdijicult to breathe. The Havoc I'mler-Krttimated. Latek. Ejcu additional report from the region of the forest fires snows that the damage, intte.td of being exaggerated, has leen under-estimated.

The fire was soon extinguished, and tbe firemen were in the basement, looking around to see if there were any sparks left, when one of the men wasordured to break throngh a partition to investigate. He had bardly made an opening when the second flash took place, A five-gallon rau of gas oline was behind the partition, and the heat bad developed the fumes. As soon as they got out t bey spread around, and came in contact witU the lire that caused the disaster. ON THE BASE BALL FIELD. A Great Confliisraiiim in the Oil Fields les: rui-t iin Lle where.

A Naval Engagement Not Improbable Itetween Code ham's New Ship and the Chilian Insurgent Man-of-tVar Es meralda The Two Vessels Not at All' Badly Matched In Tolnt of Armament Capture of the Robert and Minnie, but No War Supplies Pilo Dill's Story. San Francisco, May 1L The cruiser Charleston went to sea shortly after 3 o'clock Saturday morning. Herdestina tion was unknown but it is understood that si e has gone outside the heads to test hei nw eight-inch rifles. Yesterday more li(;ht was shed on the Charleston's move in :nts. It is positively asserted that she relly departed under peremptory orders from Washington City to chase the Chil ian steamer Rata. Just before midnight on Friday a long cipher dispatch was re ceived by Capt. Remy from Secretary Tracy. It took several hours to deciphei it, and then orders were given to prepare fot sea, and the cruiser sailed about 6 in tho morning. In Trim fur a Long Craise. Tbere were rumors about the streets thitshehal gone in chase of the Rata, br.t nothing definite was known till late at night. As far as ammunition, coal, and sea rations are concerned, the Charles ton is in trim for a long cruise, and the only drawback to her sudden departure that her p ople found was in the absence of fresh provisions and green groceries. The hope of overtaking the 1 tat a is not eutrely ahandoued, as tbe Chilian vessel did not have as much start as was sup pos h1. The Itata Only 50O Miles Ahead. Information from the Mexican and sou hern California coast shows that she did not start for home immediately n lea ing San Diego, but lingered outsMe unt 1 the Robert and Minnie could get out and transfer to her the heavy caro of rifles and cartridges. The transfer was not completed until late Friday afternoon, so that the Itata' lead is cut down to thirty-six hours, or abot.t 5o0 miles. If the Charleston does not pick the Itata up, her orders are to keep oa until Admiral Brown is encoun tered in Cniliau waters. Good Match from Uie Charleston. The Itata will lose a day at S.-ia Lucas, where she will meet the Chilian insur gent man-of-war Esmeralda. Shonld this be tie meeting point a fight is probable. The rebels are desperate, and unless the Ksm Talda s crew prove cowards the Charleston's attempt to seize the Itata will be followed by warm work. The Ame-ican vessel has the better of it in speed, nieu, coal and provisions and navi gating talent, hut the K-meralda has guns of greater caliber, and only slightly less t iodern than the Charleston's. THE ROBERT AND MINNIE CAPTURED- Those Chilliaa Inaurgent Arms Not on li-jard IT. s. S. Omaha Sent to Sea. Sav Diego, Cal., May 11. The schooner Rabevt and Minnie, which was hovering arout d here last week supposed to be loadel with munitions of war for the Chilii.n insurgents, was captured Satur day three miles from San Pedro by Dep uty Marshal Anderson, hut she had no arms on board. Arrest of the Itata's Pilot. Pilot Dill, who took the Itata out of the harbo-. has been arrested at San Pedro. Super airgo Burch, of the Robert and Min nie, h:is also been taken into custody. He was ui rted at Los Angeles, and says he lande-i the arms but declines to say at what point, it is thought that this was done a: Cata'.ina or San Clement island. A Warship Sent to Look Around. Tut C nited States steamer Omaha left the h.irbor Saturday. Her commander received numerous cipher dispatches from the nary department. It is understood that tLose cuutaiued instructions to cruise arouni Coronado islands and San Clem tut aLd Cud out if possible where the Robert aud Mlunie met the Rata. STATAMENTS OF EJRT AND DILL. The Pilot Says the I ala Was "Armed to the Teeth." Los Angeles, Cal , May 11. Piiot Dill, of San Diego, came up irotn San Pedro last evening with United States Marshal Gard. Dill says he had no alternative but to take the Itata to sea. He says the captain put armed Chilians on either side of him and remained himself with a revolver to see that he did not run the steamer agrodnd. He says be saw fifty to sixty armed men ou board and there may have b-en more. Two cannon were on the forward deck and he was told that there were six more caauou and two Gat ling guLs ou board. '. Wo ild Have Resisted Detention. Dill s tys he is confident that the vessel would b ive resisted any attempt to detain her as a matter of life-or death. He says the Pat a was s veritable man-of-war when he took her out of the harbor, but had the .ippearauce of a merchant vessel when be brought her in. Capt. O'Far re!l, of t Je schoouer, refuses to make any admissions. He says he did not know he was Violating any law, but refuses to say what beianiD of his cargo beyond the fact that he has a clear receipt lor every thing. 4 What the fropercargo Says. George A. Burt, agent for the Chilian insurgents, who had charge of the Ksbert and Mint ie cargo, and who is now under arrest here, was also interviewed. He in sisted tin t he had violated no law, and seems to be confident that he will be re leased. He said that tbe government should lave got after Hartly & Gra ham, of Illion, N. Y., manufacturing ex porters cf the arms shipped on the schoouer, and not after him. There was nothing mysterious about the schooner Robert atd Minnie, The arms had been shipped by rail from the east and loaded on the veestl at Oakland mole in broad daylight. .
