Almost 3,000 square miles of terri tory this afternoon was girdled and swept by, walls of flames. f . A ter rifle' prairie fire is raging about eight miles east of Winnipeg along the line of the Canadian North-, orn Railway and travelling westward at a rapid rate on the strong soutly east wind which Is making t:ie tem perature of the city very high. About seven miles farther east, near the vil lage of Lodette, the houses of two settlers have been destroyed and the people had to flee for tiielrlives and leave everything.

TRYING TO RESCUE IMPRISONED M Starkville, Col., Oct. 10. More than 100 miners today still are risking their lives in the apparently futile hope of rescuing fifty-two of their comrades from death In the Stark vllle mine, where they are burled un der tons of coal. Of . the fifty-two men in the mine, ten are Americans. Most of the number are Poles. They are victims of a terrific explosion of gas or mine dust In'the pit, and ac cording to the workers, may be aJive If tho after-damp of the explosion has not suffocated them. One rescuing party. , which pene trated the pit for more than a mile, was driven back by '"the same after damp. In fact,- many of the rescuers bud to be rescued themselves.

(By Cable to Tho Times) Madrid, Oct. 10 Spain has taken the fin ul step to quell revolt and stem an attempt to overthrow the mono archy. The first army reserve Has been called out and Alfonso has, un nduncod his determination to assume his. prerogative as commander-in- chief of the cntiro Spanish, army. It was the calling out of the first army reserve which precipitated the 1909 riots which resulted in hund reds being killed or Wounded and thousand of arests. . Premier Canalejas today explained the calling out of the reserves as im perative In view of the critical con dition in Spain. '"'"''-: ' The news reeived hero today that Manuel, the deposed king of Portu gal, would probably go to Villa Man- rlque, in Spain, caused great excite ment. It was feared that his prcs- ence in Spain would arouse the anti monarchists to immediate violence and lead to clashes with the Portu guese republicans along the frontier The order calling out the reserve troops was published today'' in the Graceta, the official gazette of the kingdom. Manuel Is known to have received many dispatches from Madrid but the contents of them are not known. Government spies and police dog every step of the Spanish republican leaders. Secret meeting of anti- monarchists, republicans and terror ists held in the residences of Senors Lerroux, Sorriano, pere ' Galdos and other republicans and socialists have been attended by agents of the go.Vr ernment. ' . ..' -. ' , ' - -; ' The news today that Alfonso was preparing to take the field at the head of his army to put down an up rising indicated eloquently the ten sion, which exists. General 'Weyler has issued orders to the troops to show no mercy in quelling demonstrations attendant upon the anniversary of the execu tion of Professor FerreraY which falls on Thursday. October 13 was the date agreed upon by the Spanish revolutionary leaders for a revolt. It will be known this week whether the military prep arations have cowed them into in activity or whether they will follow the lead of the republicans across the border In Portugal. The government has been allowed to prepare so elaborately that Spain would pass through a'reign of bloody terror before either side could be vic torious. ' Republican newspapers boldy an nounce that the tihie has come to strike a blow for freedom. Republi can orators in secret meetings de nounce the king and the monarchy. The menacing shadow of General W'eyler is the pall which hangs over the hopes of the antl-monachists. The republicans could expect no mercy from him. An outbreak would result In the immediate .establish ment of military law, which Would make Weyler Judge and jury for all offenses in the territory under his troops. , His threat to drown rebel lion in blood has been a set-back to the plans of the more cautious lead ers of the enemies of the monarchy. The policy of the Canaljas regime is to nip in the bud the rebellion at the first sign of violence, NKW A.MUASSADOll.
