by a storm that continued to rage for
many days. The gale tore the funnel

from its stays. AS a last resort the Sikh
was headed into the wind for safety:
For fOrty-four hours the ship lay help

without gaining mile. At last the fun

secured by guy ropes. The masts were

insurgents planned an attack on Fort
Rice and under cover of this which they
thought would draw all the American
troops to that point, they proposed to
steal over from Cavite ViejO in a fleet
of boats and CAPTURE the navy yard and
arsenal. EVeryth ng proceeded as planned
and the rebels in small bOaS were only a
little way from shore when they encoun-

shots from the Petrol caused the feet to

A Visit at warroad.

Roseau Times.
Upon visiting Warroad last SUNDAY the
Times editor found that the survey of
the railroad had been run from the boun-
Diary line to Warroad river, crossing at a
point about thirty rods up the river from
c. A. Moody's residence. The survey
ors on Monday moved their camp east of
the river and are now engaged in estab-
fishing the right of way towards Rainy
river. A talk with the chief engineer of
the division, who arrived from Winnipeg
on Sunday, convinced us that the line as
now surveyed will not be materially
changed. The survey was run to the
boundary line as near the lake as practic-
able SO as to secure the subsidy grant of
$500 per mile on as many miles as
possible. The tie contractors are busy
and the prospects are that they will fulfil
their contracts and earn a neat profit.
Some of the men are cutting for eight
cents per tie and make from So to 81 per
day.
