WAR PRISONERS
 TO BE RELEASED
Secretary Alger Making Inquiries
 Into the Matter.
GENERAL OTIS NOTIFIED
War Department Determined That the Promises of the United States in the Peace Treaty Shall
 be Carried Out.

Washington, January 21.-The war depart ment has cabled General Otis, in comma nd of the military forces in the Philippines, asking if the Spanish prisoners held by the insurgents have been released.
 It is evident from this that the govern ment is looking toward the execution of ar ticle VI of the treaty, by which the United States undertook to "obtain the release of all Spanish prisoners in the hands of the in- surgents in the Philippines" and at it's own cost to return these prisoners to their homes. There were reports that the release of the prisoners had actually begun, but Secretary Alger said that he had not been advised of this release, although he was making inquiries as to the situation.
 The number of these Spanish prisoners Is considerable, running into the thousands. At one time Admiral Dewey reported the capture of several thousand Spanards by the insurgents, and one of the witnesses be- fore the Paris commission testified that be- tween 1000 and 5000 armed Spaniards had surrendered to the insurgents.
 Quite a number of the prisoners are monks and friars.

No Conflict Between American aud Ger

Berlin, January 21.-The official Reich Anzeiger says:
 "The German press lately has repeatedly discussed the nature of the relations be- tween the German and American naval officers in the Pacific. From the reports re- gently received here we are in a position to state positively that these relations were not only free from tension, but on the con- trary, the intercourse between the officers was of a sociable and cordial character, as demonstrated by invitations, visits, and other friendly attentions which were re- peatedy exchanged. The attitude of the German naval officers has always been cor rect under all circumstances"

into the transcontinental passenger
business heretofore enjoyed by the

will transport them to Texarkana, the

thence the Southern Pacific will land

ALL SERENE.
The Differences Between the Texas

Been Adjusted. No Blood Spill

DScn hUJuSlCu' NO DlOUu OpIlI-
ed.
The much talked OF fight between
the Southwestern Passenger bureau
and the Texas & Pacific is at an end
and the knife has not been placed on
the rates at any point along the T. & P.
line. Il was rumored when the difficult
ty fret developed that the T. g. P.
were going to slash the rates between
here and New Orleans and that the
people would be riding between the
two points for almost nothing. Such
has not been the case, however, and
now that the warning factions have
''kissed and made up" it is not at all
probable that there will be any sslash-
ing" very soon.
The following dispatch was sent from
ST. Louis, May %:
AT meeting of the Southwestern
Passenger bureau today the differences
which have existed between the Texas
and Pacific railway and bureau mem
bers were amicably and satisfactorily
adjusted and that road resumed
membership in the bureau. An
interchangeable bureau was
established to be operated
independently of the Southwestern
Passenger bureru and the mileage
credit system adopted. The arrange
ment is to become effective July l. the

ADISAppOINTED MAIL AGENT.
He Came Very Near Losing His Res1d-
ence i'm Los Angeles on Account
OF an Unnatural Development of
Gourd Seeds.

During the watermelon season last
year it was customary for Mail Agent
w. F. Lippo1d to bring fine big wat
ermelon with him from San Antonio to
this point every trip. His particular
reason for doing so was to treat bosom
friend of his, named III. &. Brasher,
who is mail agent between here ana
Los Angeles. Mr.. Rrasher got 80 he
really expected the melons and watch
ed for the arrival of Mr.. LippOld with
eager anticipation. AS sure as Lip
pold arrived here be had q monster
melon for his friend. One day Mr..
Lippold promised to bring Brasher
some of the melon seeds and allow him
70 take them to his California home
and raise some fine melons of his own.
To say that Mr.. Brasher was delight
ed with the proposition would put it
very lightly. He simply went into the
air witn delight and told his wife all
about it. The next trip Lippold
brought with him q fine big sack OF
seeds and turned them over to the anx-
ious Individual on the west end Iun.
The seeds were taken to Los Angeles
and planted with the greatest care and
precaution. Time passed on aud vines
.ppearcu in abundance. Every trip in
wonderful progress the vines we're
making. 1t seemed to Brasher as if
watermeio vines were coming up all
over that portion of the country. They
crawled through the fences into the
neiRhbOrs' yards and on top OF the
houses. Brasner became little sus-
picious and one trip in here he called
LippOld to one side and asked to what
length the vines extended before the
watermelons showed up. Lippold said
that depended upon the condition of
the soil, whereupon Brasher remarked
that If the watermelons were'in proper
tion to the vines they would be ''whop-
pers.''
Upon his return to Los Angeles Mr..
Brasher explained to the neigh bors
that the vines would stop growing
shortly: tn at were an unusually line
quality of melon and that they could
all have some of them if they would
only be patent. Time dragged on
slowly out the vines grew fast and the
rUsr of the neigh bors became louder
and of a threatening nature. Brasher
employed several small boys to keep
the vines in his yard and put ''for
sale" sign on his house.
Presently the vines biossomed and in
few weeks Mr.. Brasher could boast
OF having not less than 100, OO0--GOURDS.
They were not watermelon seeds at all,
but the worst kind of gourds and Brasil
er had a train load of them all to him
self. The neighbors laughed long and
loud but Brasher felt as if he did not
care to laugh, just then at least.
He swOre vengeance on Lippold and
was around town yesterday with one
of the gourds under his arm looking
for the man who had so basely deceiv-
ed him. Up to the hour of going to
press the two cad not met, but trouble
ID expected as the friends OF Mr.. Brasil
er say he is a dangerous man when it
comes TO fighting with gourds.

To Consider Rates Via Gulf Ports.

A New York dispatch says: Another
conference between representatives OF
the trunk lines, Southern Atlantic sea-
board lines and the Mallory and Nor
gan steamship lines will be held this
week in New York to reach an under
standing regarding rates from this ter
ritorv to interior territory. via: Gulf OF
Mexico ports. The last joint confer
euce was quite unsatisfactory, the gulf
lines claiming that they had right to
take pretty nearly any business that
was offered in connection with the rail
lines from gulf ports to the interior as
far as St. Louis and even Kansas City.
The specific trouble broke out when
the steamship lines joined the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas, and the Kan
sas City. Pittsburg and Gulf in forcing
the reduced rates from the Missouri
River to St. Louis, these rates being
the came as apply via lake and canal
routes of the trunk lines.
According to an understanding,
trunk lines have, in consideration OF
their being protected in the interior,
kept out of southern territory covered
by the Mallory line, which now has a
working arrangement with the Atchi-
connection with the Southern Pacific.
1t is with these lines that this misun-
Outstanding has arisen. Unless it is
adjusted Atlantic coast lines will meet
the situation, and the trunk lines will
be forced to join In. In fact, it will
mean a rate war of tremendous proper
tions. Representatives of the various
interests have been at work since the
last joint conference trying to form
basis of differentials- and division of
territory satisfactory to all.
