Havana, Jan. 90 The gunboats
Centinela and Relamago left Manza-
milo on the night OF Jan. 16 with the
object of going up the River Cauto to
Fort Guam0 in compliance with the
orders Of Gen. Rosch. At 10 O'clock on
the morning of Jan. II both gunboats
were near Mango landing when an ex-
plosion of a torpedo which had been
placed in the river, sunk the Relam-
pago. Those of the crew who survived
swan toward shore but were fired on
from the banks. At this critical mo-
ment a boat was launched from the
Centinela and nearly all Of the crew
still in the water were rescued In
view Of the instructions and the fact
that the commander of the Centinela
and nearly all Of the crews Of both
gunboats had been seriously wounded
the expedition had to return to Mama
milo. Senor Martinez. of the Relampa-
60, was seriously wounded in the expe-
dition as well as Assistant Engineer
jacob Duis, gunner; Francisco Mar
tinez and several seamen. Six Of the
officers and crew were killed outright,
and all Of the rest received wounds Of
more or less severity. On the gunboat

" wounded, while of the crew one was
killed and several wounded.

Report OF the Com mission II Trans
lnitted to the Houae.
Washington, jan 20 The president
sent! to the house the report of the deep
waterways commission. The most Inn
portant conclusions Of the commission
follow:
That it is entirely feasible to con-
5struct such canals and develop such
channels as will be adequate Of any
scale Of navigation that may be de-.
sired between the great lakes and the
seaboard, and to conduct through the
same domestic and foreign commerce,
and that it will be wise to provide for
securing a channel Of a navigable
depth Of not less than twenty-eight
feet. Ri Ell #
That, starting from the heads of
Lakes Michigan and Superior, the most
eligible route is through the several
great lakes and their intermediate
channels and the proposed Niagara
ship canal (TonaWanda to OlcotD to
Lake Ontario; and that the Canadian
seaboard may be reached from Lake
Ontario by way of the st. Lawrence
and Lake Champlain and the Hudson
Mohawk valley aud the Hudson river.
the ultimate attainment Of the largest
successful capacity and that all works
should be planned on this basis and
that the actual execution should CON
form thereto, in so far as the works
may without prejudice be progressive
f " developed with the actual demands
of commerce. "a #
That the completion of the entire
system as quickly as proper projects
can be matured and economically ex-
ecuted is fully justified.
That the Niagara ship canal should,
be first undertaken and incidentally
the broadening and further deepening
of the intermediate channels of the
lakes, the same being in the logical
order of development and also requir-
ing the least time for Onsideration.
The commission reports that the Can
adam commission appointed for the
same purpose has furnished much inn
pOrtant information The document
gives many statistics relating to the
traffic on the great lakes 1t says that
the agricultural competition this coun-
try has recently had to meet with In
dia, and which is likely to be intensi-
fed, impel the government to take
steps to cheaper freights; that the
limit of reduction in railroad rates has
been reached and attention must be
directed to waterways. In referring
| to wheat the commission expresses
| fear of the consequences Of the in
creasing competition from the Argen-
tine Republic and Uruguay. The rapid
development of the American iron ore
| business on the lakes indicate that,
with access to the ocean by practical
waterway, we can control our domestic
business and enter into competition in
any market Of the world.

Wadena, Mimi, il an. pa man who
was found dead Saturday on the rail-
road track between this city and Vern-
dale was evidently murdered. His
name is Daniel Pikkarainen and he
resided at New York Mills. When he
was found Saturday it. was thought
he had fractured his skull by a fall
from train on which he was sealing
a ride III ii #5
a young man named Lindross had
been boarding at Pikkarainen's home
for some time and had become infatu-
ated with his wife, The affection was
reciprocated. Thursday the young
fellow persuaded Pikkarainen to go
with him to Staples in search of work.
The two spent Friday in that village
and then concluded to return to New
York Mills. That was the last seen Of
Pikkarainen. 1t was known that the
young man purchased a ticket at this
point for New York Mills. He said
nothing about Pikkarainen's absence
| and his friends commenced to get sus-
| picious when they heard the body of
an unknown man had been found at
Wadena. They went to the home of
| the dead man and found Mrs. Pikkar-
inen and the young man together. The
| latter was arrested and said that on
! the way to Staples Pikkarainen fell
| off the train and killed himself.
After being taken into custody Lin
dross coolly confessed to the murder,
and says Mrs. Pikkarainen hired him
to do it. He says he and the other
man were riding. on the blind baggage,
that he had purposly gotten Pikkara-
linen drunk, and that he pushed him
off the train, !, but he denies having
killed him. Wounds on the dead mans
head, however, show plainly that he
was dealt two severe blows on the
head before he was thrown off.
Mrs. Pikkarainen refuses to say any
thing. This is the first murder ever
j committed in this county.
