Aid American Exnor,.

Berlin, June l9.-The canal bill en-
crossed attention last week, and the IA.
pers had much to say pro and con, ac.
cording to party standpoints. The ulti.
mate fate of the bill concerns America, as
the construction of network of canals
joining the three largest rivers in Prussia
-Elbe, Rhine and the Weser-and the far,
eastern provinces, those bordering on the
German ocean, will cheaper and facilitate
the freights of American exports, notably
cereals meats, cotton and other bulky
goods. Another point interesting to Amer
lea is the fact that the Prussian agarians
ana those parties affiliating with them
tne conservatives, reichspartei and a DOR,
tion OF the center, have made the bill a
test OF strength between them and the en-
peror, though with the entire Prussian
cabinet pledged for the canal.
His majesty left no doubt this week
mat ne strongly wished the great canal
to be built.

Fourteenth infantry is making recon

where the rebels are reported to be massed
in force.
The gunboat Napidan has arrived here
and made brief stay. Her commander
Franklin, reported the details of an en-,
gagement with the rebels on the lake while
General Wheaton as fighting near Taguig.
franklin saw party of 500 insurgents
advancing under cover of the bluffs to at
tack Wheaton's left flank. The Napidan
steamed unseen by the rebels to within
5oO yards of shore, when she opened fire
upon the enemy with every gun on board
the two and three-inch, the Hotchkiss.

rifles in the hands of the crew. 1t was a
tremendous surprise to the insurgents.
The first discharge scattered the rebels
and threw them into utter confusion The
Filipino commander, who was mounted,
belabored his men with the fiat of his
sword, striving to rally them, but they
would not stand to be cut down by the
murderous fire of the gunboat. Finally
the rebels fled over the hill, the Napidan
Smelling them until the last man disap-
peared.
General Wheaton first saw the insur-
gents as they were scrambling over the
hill in their flight. He was ignorant of the
reason OF their Generalization, his own
fire drowning that of the Napidan.
The gunboat then steamed down the
lake. A short distance down she saw a
Filipino supply train and opened fire upon
1t, destroying every cart and killing every
cariboo, Continuing down she saw the
new barracks containing 500 insurgents,
which were shelled and burned. After the
barracks were destroyed, Captain Frank

found nearly so dead Flipinos and several
wounded rebels, who had been left where

OUR COMMERCE N JAMAICA
END OF THE FRUIT WAR
The English Monopoly Is Broken-The
Reciprocy Between the Island and
United States Observation-Disclosures Are
Improving-Severe Eearthquake.

Kingston, Jamaica, June l0.-The end
of the terrible fruit war and the collapse
of the English scheme for monopolizing
the Jamaican fruit trade leaves the Bos-
ton Fruit Company masters OF the situa-
ton.
This development has caused widespread
qualification. 1t is generally regarded as
the first fruits of that reciprocity between
jamaica and the United States which is
so much desired. 1t is felt that the pres
ence of the fruit company will draw into
the island other American enterprises as
soon as treaty relations render assured a
permanent market for Jamaican products
in the United States.
ALREADY there is marked improvement
in the industrial condition of the island
Only the conclusion of the reciprocity
treaty is now awaited. Should the nego-
tiations by any possibility fail, the blow
to the hopes of Jamaica would be a severe
one.
Much care has been exercised in the Sc
lection of the delegates who are to proceed
to Washington to confer with the British
diplomatic authorities there with view
to arranging the terms Of reciprocity
treaty. If they are not successful in clear
ing the way for treaty, it will certainly
not be their fault They represent not
only the interests, but the hopes of Ja-
maica.
