Ths once proud and prosperous mining town of Park City 1 denotata and in ruins. business buildings and a Seventy-fiv- e hundred or more happy, cozy homea have gone up in amoke, deepite the desperate fight that waa made to control the fire demon. More than a hundred families, fully 500 aoula, are homeless, penniless and dependent upon charity for life a neceaaitiea, and without hope for the future. The money loea la appalling.

In all, the burned district covers, ap proxlmately, 30 acres. It was a compactly built area, peopled by fully 500 souls. Few if any escaped with more than what they had on their backs. Houses, furniture, clothing, food, everything gone. The work of destruction was so completely and quickly done that the people were compelled to seek safety in flight. Early in the morning it was seen that help must come from other cities and word waa dispatched to Salt Lake City and Ogden for their steam fire engines and a crew of fire fighters. A special train over the Rio lirande Western left Salt Lake City at 8:20, bearing No. 2 steamer, with Assistant Chief McCarthy, Captain llywaler and Lieutenant Earl from headquarters. They and the Ogden relief worked heroically, but little was left for them to do bnt to quench the dying embers and put out a few firebrands here and there. The cause of the fire is altogether clothed in mystery.

Thq long and trying journey from Tampa haa left the men in a much better condition than anticipated. There are 14 cases of typhoid on the hospital ship, among them being Maia-i jor Horton of tbe Twenty-fift- h fantry, and several eases of measles There are, however, no serious cases of sickness. Owing to the smoothness of the passage, the soldiers were not generally affected by seasickness. They are all wildly anxious to get ashore and begin fighting. Whenever the landing take place there will undoubtedly be some warm fighting. The Spaniards have a force of from 30,000 to 45,000 men, placed from Guantanamo to Cabanas, a distance of fifty miles, and aa our troops will be landed at different pointy some warm work may be looked for. 33. aggregate ia but little more than $100,-00Recently, aa fl:-- inaurance riska hare been expiring, the eompaniea hare declined to renew, saying that it waa the intention to retire from the Park City field.

No doubt Is entertained at either tlie war or navy department that General Shatter's expedition has arrived eafely off Santiago by tills time. It ia believed that the first of the transports arrived near tho blockading fleet Saturday night. According to the plana arranged for tbe debarkation, the fleet of trans-port- a was to lie in a safe position until Sampson had cleared the way for a landing Tbe selection of a landing place haa been left entirely to the judgment of Admiral Sampson and General Khafter, and the first business In order upon the arrival of tho transport fleet off Santiago wonld be a war council between Admiral Sampson and some of hit naval captains on the ona hand and Major General Khafter and )iia staff on the other, the purpose being to settle all the details of the debarkation. Meanwhile the fleet of transports would He out at sea at least ten miles, beyond the blockading squadron, in prder to be entirely safe from attack by Spanish torpedo boats. The work of debarking tho troops is not to be one of hours but rathae days, according to the opinion of army officers.
