London, MAY 3.-Representatlves Of
the Filipino junta say that they have
received a telegram from Agulnaldo
dated April so. in which he states that
his government has nothing 20 do with
the present peace negotiations which.
he asserts, are being conducted by a
group OF Creoles and half castes who
are anxious for pePee, in the expecta-
tIon Of getting hish Offices under a
new government. Several OF these men
Aguinaldo says. are members OF the
Filipino congress whore they are en-
deayoring TO outyote him.
Agulnaldo added that he had no d.
rect negotiations with the Americans
since the fall OF Malolos. when certain
proposals passed between Mr.. wor-
cesier OF the American Philippine COM
mission and a ropresentatiye Of AEui-
naldo, looking 20 peace based upon
independence with an American alil-
anee. Agulnaldo disavows the presen,
negotiations and adds that under no
circumstances will he accept an Amer
lean protectorate.
The dispatch concludes with a con-
temptuous reference TO Mai Argue
leses as n Spanish oflcer who has no
more authority TO act on behalf Of
Aguinaldo than has Luna himself.

storage of Flood waters.

AT the annual congress Of the SAM
tary institute ut Southampton Prof.
Henry Robinson said the better con-
seryation OF the rainfall was Of nation
al Importance, since the water avail
able for the requirements Of the people
did not increase with the population.
Every year a struggle arose for water
sheds whence the supply for large
towns could be obtained, while village
populations had too often TO depend
upon shallow wells, which were liable
to pollution. Flood waters should be
stored, so as TO render the flow OF riv-
ers more equable, and the excess wa
ter which now caused damage by floods
would be available for domestic sup
ply. irrigation and improving naviga-
tion in rivers and canals.

SOLDERING MADE EASY.
Hints for Household Tinsmsths Who
Are without "A Regular outnt
of Proper Tools.

Occasionally a man wants job done
which ordinarily belongs TO the tim
smith, but which cannot we'll be de-
layed long enough 10 60 10 an expert.
Such persons will find these suggestions
from the Mechanic Arts Magazine help
full: THE chief difficulty experienced
by a beginner in attempting Go solder
two pieces OF metal together Is 20 secure
an even flow of the solder between the
pieces, which is necessary 10 make a
strong union. Either the surfaces TO
be Joined have not been thoroughly
cleaned or the soldering iron is too hot
or not sufficiently timed; and as a re-
suit the solder runs of in little
globules OF melted metal or masses un-
evenly al one place and not az another,
instead OF spreading uniformly in a
thin film over the joint, as il should.
The consequence is that we have, when
the work is done, weak joint, and one
presenting n decidedly botched, un-
tidy appearance. In fact, we have
proved ourselves poor workmen.
MANY OF these difficulties may often
be avoided in uniting small pieces Of
tin or brass, and neat and strong
union be obtained without the use OF
a regular soldering iron. In the follow
ing manner: Scrape the surfaces TO
be Joined with n small knifeblade tin
bright and rough, and avoid touching
them thereafter with the fingers.
Sprinkle over them a little finely pow
dered rosin, which may be pressed with
the blade OF knife, to cause IL 20 adj
