TREE 10000 YEARS OLD.
Giant end Prehistoric Times Unearthed
in England.

From the London News: An extra
ordinary discovery, and one which is
just now exciting considerable interest
IN antiquarian circles in Lancashire
and Cheshire, has been made at Stock
port. During the excavations in the
construction OF sewage works for the
town some workmen came across what
has since proved to be a massive oak
tree, with two immense branches. Pro-
fessor Boyd Dawkins, the well-kn0wn
anuquaTy, is OF opinion that the tree is
one of the giants of prehistoric times,
and be says that the tree is certainly
10000 years old. The corporation OF
Stockport are at a loss what TO do with
the gigantic fossil, which IS supposed
TO weigh about forty tons, All as il IS
necessary that it should be removed a
proposal has been made to blow it up
with dynamite. This has aroused the
Indignation Of a large section OF the
pubic, who presented the following pc
utlcn to the corporation: That there
IS valuable tree OF old oak at present
4ylns upon and exposed in the gravel
on and within their property: that the
quality in color, grain and solidity is
better Tran any that can be bought in
the open market: that for artistic work
alone II Is greatly TO be treasured, for
nothing in this country is at present
grown which can come IN to It's d.
mansions; that Il contains within itself
sufficient material to make the furni-
lure Tor any public building or town
nan which may be erected for tie pub
He dement, within our borough: that il
only requires lifting from It's bed,
which in the opinion Of competent ge-
olog!stS may be roughly estimated as
$4,000 years Q: occupation: that private
effort has failed 10 achieve its reua0y-
al: that lis destruction would be a pub
nc loss and an artistic calamity: that

nave reserved their decision. and in
the meantime efforts are being made
oy local antiquarians and others TO
bring pressure . bear upon the council
TO preserve the tree for the benefit OF
the town and the country. 1t is be-
lieVed that no discovery Of such i'm
port2nce has hitherto been made in
this country, All this being so It is
hoped that those interested in such
matters throughout the country Will
lend assistance toward preserving the
tree

TWO MONTHS AGO,
There Was an Aguinaldo and an
 American Agreement,

London, June 1.-The Madrid cor respondent of the Times gives the text of a Berlin letter dated June 4, and read in the cortes on Thursday, pur- porting to be the text of an agreement signed April 24 at Singapore between Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, and the American consul there, regarding the future government of the Philip pines, an agreement afterwards orally ratified at Hong Kong by Admiral Dewey.
 In this agreement Aguinaldo under takes to organize a republican govern ment under the protectorate of the United States with the assistance of two or three American delegates as counseilors. The ports of the archi- pelago are to be opened to foreign trade with certain restrictions against the Chinese. Then follow clauses promising judicial and other reforms. the expulsion and abolition of tyr ranical religious orders," the freedom of the press, protection to Spanish residents, provision for the return of Spanish officials to Spain, and the gen, eral development of the country.
 The Times correspondent says the contents of the agreement harmonize with information derived from other sources, but there is no proof of it's authenticity.

THE CADIZ FLEET.
If It Comes to This Side It Will Go to
 Porto Rico.

Washington, June 1.-The officials were satisfied on learning today that the Cadiz fleet had sailed, and that the ships would go to Porto Rico rather than to Cuba if they crossed to this side. It was pointed out that this move would be a natural strategic one of the Spanish commanders to take, as there was still something for them to save in Porto Rico.
 The fleet is being narrowly watched. although the naval view is not similar to that taken by the army officers. The former do not attach so much import ance to the fleet as the latter and few officers can be found to believe that the ships will ever venture far from the Spanish coast, much less attempt to cross the Atlantic or go to the Philip pines. The list of vessels in this fleet is rather formidable in sound, but as a matter of fact it includes Tot more than two up-to-date war vessels, eX- cepting the small torpedo gunboats-

SPAIN IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Her Power Is Crumbling Day by
 Day.

Manila, June 6.-(Via Hong Kong, June 17.)-The Spanish power is crumbling in the Philippine islands. General Pena and a thousand Spanish soldiers have surrendered at Santa Cruz. Similar surrenders have taken place at La Guna and at a-Manga, and in each case hardly anybody was killed. It was reported that Rear Admiral Dewey is unable to restrain the insurgents, but their conduct. is satisfactory. There is nc necessity for interference, as no excesses whatever have been committed -A9ltl. D9s
 This is partly due to the merely nominal assistance furnished the insur- gents. The latter propose to form a republic under an Anglo-American tutelage, and threaten to visit with severe penalties the insurgents, who have become turncoats, especially in the case of Paterno, a prominent na- tive protege of the Spaniards.

THE THIRD EXPEDITION.
It May Leave San Francisco Next
 Friday.

San Francisco, June 17-lt will re- quire some very rapid work on the part of both the local military officials and the department at Washington to have the third fleet of transports ready for sea by the 24th inst Very little work is being done on any of the ves- sells and only one is being coaled for the trip. Supplies have not commenced to arrive.
 General Wesley Merritt, in com mand of the expeGitionary forces, spent the morning with General Otis at Camp Merritt, discussing the troops to be selected for the next expedition Eight thousand is the number that has been fixed on and it is possible that even more will go. The date of sail ing will be the earliest possible, before the 18th of June, if transports can be loaded in that time.
