SIMMONS A BOSTON, MASS. The Michigan Forest Fire Cause Great Destruction of Property Flames in Wisconsin. Dktuoit, May 14. Clinton, Clare county, and Walkcrville, Oceana county, towns of 100 inhabitants each, are added to the list of those surrounded by forest fires. In each case the destruction of the homes of the inhabitants was accompanied by heavy loss to the lumber firms having sawmills at the places named.

The loss to these firms on buildings and machinery amounts to over 8100,000. In addition to this an amount not easily to be reckoned has been lost in the destruction of the forests. At present there is little hope that the fire can soon be stayed, and the entire lumber district of four or five counties lies at its mercy. There has been little rain this season, and the country is in the same condition it was in when it was devastated in 1871. At Boyer station a tract 'six miles long and three miles wide has been burned over, destroying everything.

At present the greatest damage is reported from along the line of the Omaha railroad, on both sides of which and extending to Lake Superior on tho north the fire is still raging fiercely.

Late last night a report reached the city that S. M. Stocking's camps near the Brule river and 2,000,000 feet of logs had been burned. Mr. Stocking Rays that from all he can learn the damage in the timbered districts east of Superior has been very heavy.

Word came from the south shore that the fire was rapidly reaching out in the direction of several million feet of logs belonging to the Peyton, Kimball Dardry Lumber Co. Over 100 square miles of virgin forest has been utterly destroyed and the head of one logging firm puts the losses at $1,500,000 in standing timber. THE PORTUGUESE CRISIS.
