NEW NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.
burton Finds a'here Are old Treat
les in the Way.

huraOh rinus fAere Are Old Treat
les I'm the Way.
Washington, Feb. 27.-The meeting Of
the river and harbor committee to-day de-
veloped a new phase of the inter-oceauic
canal question.
Chairman Burton took the lead in favor
ing fun government investigation, both of
the Panama and Nicaragua routes, before
committing the government, and after the
meeting Mr.. Burton expressed the view
that the sentiment of the committee was
opposed to the Senate Nicaragua canal
amendment, and favored fun investiga-
ton.
To that end he prepared a bill to be
proposed later as a substitute for the SEN
ate Nicaragua canal amendment. 1t pro-
vides for investigation by a board of seven
engineers of routes, cost, ETC., and for ac-
quiring by the President of right of way
and for an appropriation of $1000,OOO for
surveys, etc. Express provision Is made
that lin no case shall any Obligation be
incurred or money paid to any company
or individual" for rights, etc.
The committee did not reach final con-
clusion on the Nicaragua amendment or
any other feature, but adjourned until
Wednesday at 10 n. m.
The resolution of Mr.. Burton for an in
quiry was informally discussed, but no
action was taken. MIR. Burton has found
old treaties made by Nicaragua with
Great Britain and France In 1850, guaran-
teeiug them the same privileges i'm the
matter of canal rights as other countries.
These treaties had not been abrogated, and
Mr. Burton contended they were an OBJ
stacle to the construction of the canal
by the United States.

SAY THE AMERICANS DID 1T.
FILIPINOS ALLEGE FIRES WE'RE
CAUSED BY SHELLS.

They Charge That the Americans
Tried to Capture IA Fire Engine
Which Led TO "A Fight-BOmbard-
ment Followed which They Say
Caused the Fires-They Report 40
Americans EiIIed-Loss to Proper
" Estimated at 81 ,1OO,OOO.
Paris, Feb. 2T-The Filipino junta here
received to-day a cable message from Ma
Mia dated Feb. "a, via Hong Kong. 1t
says:
The fire broke out in the Chinese
quarters during the Chinese new year fes-
tivities. The Americans provoked the
owners by demolishing houses before it
was necessary. The Fllpinos' fire engine
owned by Senor Cameo, and worked by
British subjects, was largely instrumen-
tai in extinguishing the fire.
THE Americans interfered with the ma
tive salvagers and tried to capture the
engine, leading to a conflict. Harsh con-
duct elsew here led to general fighting.
The Americans retired to the walled city,
and the fleet bombarded the suburbs, be-
lieving the city was endangered. This
caused the Tondo fire.
"Aguinaldo's troops then attacked and
entered Tondo, Maisie, Santa Cruz and
Kaipo.
"Conf1agrations broke out at Benondo
and Maiate, and the city was surrounded
by line of burning houses
THE fighting continued Wednesday and
Thursday. The Americans by that time
were greatly fatigued by the SUM- fires and
continual service.
Fired on Everybody, They Say.
"On the other hand, the Filipinos were
continuously reinforced, and the Ameri-
cans closed the Puenta de Espana to pre-,
vent the F'ilipinos from invading the city.
THE Americans then fired on every one
standing at the doors and windows and
thus killed the engineer and manager OF
the Andrews cotton mill. The foreigners
applied TO the foreign ships for help, and
a number of marines were to be landed
when Admiral Dewey intimated that such
landing would be an act of hostility, and
that his ships would fire upon any landing
party. Some British bluejackets, however,
landed, unarmed to act as fremen, and
remained to guard the British consulate,
banks and other British property.
THE Andrews cotton MILL belonging to
British subjects suffered severely. The
Americans searched British property
seeking Insurgents
Their Report of Losses.
"Indiscriminate street shooting was
prevalent. Men. women and children were
killed. The bodies of $40 Americans have
already been found. T4.elI loss in killed
and wounded win reach 400. The bodies
of 320 Filipino men, 425 women and 2SO
children have been recovered i'm the streets.
About 500 natives were wounded.
The loss to foreign property is estimat-
ed at s50O,0O0 and to native property $780,
900. About 5000 houses were burned.
Gen. Montenegro commanded the Fill
pinos. Aguinaldo is still at Mariloa. Many
foreigners embarked on board the ships.
About eighty Chinese were killed while
trying to enter the walled city.
The people killed at the Andrews mill
were accused of harboring natives"

New York. Feb, 27.-The consolidation
of the Brooklyn and Baltimore Base Ball
Clubs was effected to-day.

gone through. All the necessary papers
were presented and the signatures OF the
purchasers were Immediately affixed.
Speaking OF the Southern trips Of the
Brooklyn and Baltimore teams Manager
Ned Hanlon said that they would leave for
the South about March 20. The Brooklyn
players viii go to Augusta, Ga, and the
Orioles win get into shape at Macon, Ga,
owing to the fact that the grounds at Sa-
vannah on which Manager Hanlon had
an option, may possibly not be ready In
time, as many alterations have 20 be made
there.
The schedule meeting of the National
League win begin tomorrow at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. 1t Is expected that the
magnates viii not get through with their
work before Saturday next, as questions OF
great moment will have TO be acted upon.
That Frank De Haas Robinson OF the
Cleveland Club viii secure the st. Louis
franchise seems TO be generally conceded.
None OF the magnates viii go on record
as to whether the circuit win be reduced
10 less than twelve clubs for the coming
year, but the probabilities are that even If
a twelve-club league Is adopted, circuit
of less number of clubs may be found
necessary before the playing season opens.
