Air pressure was applied for the first
time yesterday in the caisson at the
corner of Green and Temple streets,
where the sewer department is at work,
with most gratifying results. The sand
and water was forced down two feet;
allowing the workmen to proceed with
much better results.
The air pressure system will be Of
special advantage where quicksand is
encountered. as the pressure will keep
the bubbling mass down, allowing the
work of excavation to proceed with far
more satisfactory results.

Americans Fight Under Difficulties,

Hong KONG, March 2l.-A corre-
spondent of the Associated Press at
Manila says: An army has seldom
operated under harder conditions than
have been encountered by the American
Flying brigade" The country the
American troopers have traversed
is intersected with lagoons, mar
row and unfordable rivers and
bamboos SO thick that the enemy
cannot be seen 100 feet distant. During
the charges the Americans We're ignor-
ant as to whether they were attacking a
hundred or thousands of rebels. One
of the prisoners captured by the Ameri-
cans says the Filipino leaders boast that
that they can continue such war for
years, depending upon the American
forces being weakened daily by 20 men
killed, wounded OF invalided. Some of
the high officials here think that
10000 reinforcements are needed. Con-
siderable rain has fallen already and it
seems that the season for rains is gin
ming prematurely.

home Of number of eastern million
aires. With him are Mrs. Mckinley,

promised to visit last year. In another

positively that the visit of the two rival
political leaders at the same time is a

results of the inevitable meeting, nc
one will predict. Speaker Reed. some
club members and score OF pretty girls

Pence Advocates Beheaded.

MANILA, March 2l.--It is reported on
hitherto reliable authority that Aguin-
aldo is taking extreme measures to sup
press signs calculated to cause cessa-
ton of hostilities. Twelve adherents
of the plan of independence, residents
of Manila, have been condemned to
death because they wrote advising sur
render and all loyal Filipinos have
been called upon to perform the ma
tional service of dispatching them. On
Friday last General Lagarda visited
Malolos for the purpose of advising
Aguinaldo to quit. He argued with
the insurgent leader and attempted to
convince him of the folly of his persist
ence in the face of overwhelming odds.
Aguinaldo was furious at the advice
and ordered General Lagarda to be ex-
ecuted Immediately. The unfortunate
general was promptly decapitated.

Port Arthur Canal Is Finished.

PoRT ARTHUR, Tex, March 2l.-The
great Port Arthur canal is now an ac-
complished fact. The dredges finished
the first cut a week ago, all but a strip
of ground 40 feet wide, which was left
to cut through at the big celebration
next Saturday. The canal officials be-
came aware Of the fact that prepara.
tions had been made for another in
junction and that papers were to be
served Monday morning. This would
have been been the hardest blow Of all,
as the excursions from the north will
start today and by Saturday morning
fully 5000 people are expected to be
here to participate in the festivities. In
order to checkmate this scheme the
dredge Florida was moved down to the

QUEEN SIGNS TREATY
AFFlxEs HsR ROYAL SIGNATURE TO
The PEACE PACT:

Notice of the Final Act at Madrid Is at
Washington, NJ. Calnbon-Next Step Is
Exchange OF Ratffications.
MADRID, March 1S.--The queen regent
has signed the treaty of peace between
Spain and the United States The
signed treaty Of peace will be forwarded
TO the French ambassador at Washing
ton, M. Jules Cambon, for exchange
with the one signed by President Nc
Kinley. No decree on the subject will
be published in the Official Gazette.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The first
news of the signature of the peace
treaty by the queen regent of Spain was
conveyed to Secretary Hay and the Of
fcials Of the administration through the
exclusive bulletin Of the Associated
Press. The secretary was naturally
gratified at the action, which he had
expected would follow the close of the
cortes The action makes it possible to
exchange the ratifcations, and thus
complete the treaty within the time set
by the treaty itself as the maximum.
The protocol was signed Aug. 13, last,
at the white house, by the president
and Ambassador Cambon. Dec. 10 the
treaty was signed at Paris by the com.
missioners, Feb. 6 it was ratified by
| the United States senate, after memor-
able struggle. Feb. 10 the president
gave it his signature, and today, seven
months and four days after the signing
of the protocol, the Spanish queen re.
gent gave her formal assent and sigma.
! ture
Contrary to an expectation that
seemed to have obtained in some quar-
ters, the signature of the treaty does
not involve the Immediate discharge of
all the volunteer soldiers. 1t was
stated positively at the state depart
ment that legally the treaty does not
| go into effect until the ratitications
have been exchanged and it will further
be necessary for the president to pro
claim it to the people of the United
States, including the soldiers, before it
can be known officially that the war is
over. In all other aspects however, the
state department will treat the war a.
at an end. 1t is believed here that tn,
new Spanish minister will come pre-
pared Immediately after making tn
ratification to instigate a treaty fo
trade. commerce and amity.
