c. & N. TO THE RESCUE.

Two Thousand Dollars Bonus viii Secure
Chautauqua Transportation.
The Colorado & Northwestern rail-
road came forward TO-DAY with propo-
sition that is meeting with the most en-
thusastic support OF the citizens Their
OF the much talked of Chautauqua trans
portation question. The road asks a
bonus Of $4,000 TO build its switch to the
Chautauqua grounds and operate 1t dur
ing the sessions. They ask that $1,000
of this be given by the city and 81 ,ooo by
private subscription. Two petitions TO
this effect were being circulated by Chief
Clerk Hill today and everywhere met
with the most enthusiastic responses.
The people want Chautauqua trans.
portation and they want ii bad, and any
reliable scheme for getting it will surely
receive support as today's events proved.
Everywhere Mr.. Hills plans met with
the most hearty endorsement and at an
early hour this afternoon the sum on his
subscription sheet was beginning TO
mount upwards.
The railway company proposes to run
its switch from the main track at the
mouth OF the canon over the formerly
proposed route around the base OF the
foot hills and south to the grounds.
Train service adequate to the demand
will be furnished. and passengers will be
taken on at the union depot, 18th and
9th streets.
OF course the electric syndicate still
holds its extension of franchise, but as
Mr.. Duncan assured the council that
they would waive their rights in case
another company made a go of it, it is
likely that no opposition will come from
them.
Coming as it does in the eleventh hour
when all plans for transportation had
seemingly fallen through, the proposi-
ton of the c. & n. will probably meet
only with encouragement, in order that
that desidcIatum. trans oortation 10 the
Chautauqua may be certainy.

Washington. April 3-The following
despatch has been received from Gen.
Ous at Manila by the war department
under date OF April 3:
present indications denote that the
insurgent government Is in perilous
condition. The arny is defeated, dis
couraged and scattered. Insurgents are
returning to their homes in the villages
here and at points north Of Malolos
which reconnoitering parties have
reached. and have desired protection of
Americans. News from the Visayan
Islands is more encouraging"
Manila, April 3-Many natives are re.
turning to their homes under truce
granted by Macarthur. They asked pro
lection Of Americans, but will be closely
watched to guard against ueachery. 1t
is believed that these returning natives
mean that Aguinaldo is losing control
and that the back bone OF the insurrec.
tion is broken.
Aguinaldo's stories Of victories over
the American forces have been proven
false and his strongest supporters are
losing confidence in him. When it is
generally known that his stories OF
American cruelty are unfounded, many
that are under arms will desert him and
come to the American side.
