TROY, N. Y. Feb. 6.-Word was re-

night that Agoncillo would reach here
on his way to Montreal at lilo o'clock.
The train arrived on time, and with
the train was a party of newspaper
men. When the cars pulled into the
Union station here word was given
out that Agoncillo was in one of the
sleepers and that he could not be dis
turbed.
He had retired at POughkeepsie.
The train left Troy at 1880 o'clock for
Montreal and is due at that point at z

ed here in an unofficial way that Agon-
clio would be arrested at Rouses'

THE BIG CANAL AT PANAMA.
Work on the Waterway is Progressing at a
Rapid Rate-The CuIebra Cut VIII
Be Completed in Nine Months.

New YORK, Feb. 6.-Reports of ex-
tensive work on the Panama canal are
brought by Charles NJ. Dobson, an
English civil engineer, who has just
arrived here from Colon. Mr.. Dobson
said:
Il have visited the canal on several
occasions 81 nee 1891, but 1 have never
seen anything like the activity visible
at present. The French are evidently
in earnest and are progressing at
wonderfully rapid rate. They are con-
centrating their energies on the great
Culebra cut, the most serious obstacle
along the whole route. The company
has from l, 700 to p 600 laborers at work,
with about so locomotives, each of
which hauls a train of from 10 to Is
ears.
"At the rate at which they are now
excavating, the great cut will be COM
pleted within nine months. My i'm
preston is that the management, hav-
ing finished this cut, will declare that
d
of the canal and that additional funds
are all that is needed 20 carry the
whole work to completion. Water is
actually in 10 miles of the canal on the
Atlantic side and seven on the Pacific
side
up to the present about S137, 600, 600
in American gold has been spent and l
believe the canal can be finished for
S125, 600, 900. The company appears to
suffer for no lack of money, for the
men are promptly paid.
THE concession given by Colombia
expired last October, but am inform
ed that arrangements have been made
for it's extension for another period of
six years My impression is that it
will require about ten years more
work before the canal is ready to re-
ceiye ships"

The FraternaI Feeling of a House
Painter for an Artist
Patron.

There is a saying that two of trade can
never agree, but there is reason to believe
that there is more fraternity of interest
than is generally supposed. An instance TO
prove this theory is found in the case of an
artist in the suburbs who had the front of
his cottage painted last week. 1t wasn't
much of job, but it was done very well, and
the painter was told to bring in his bill.
Three days later the man of the house was
told that the painter wanted to see him.
Tell him to leave the bill and I'll send
him check" was the impatient answer.
He was informed that the painter wanted
to see him IN person, so there was nothing
to do but to show him up.
''Well? said the man of the house rather
shortly.
Il hope you like the job, said the painter,
with a mysterious smile.
He was informed that it appeared to be all
right.
Il always do good work" said the painter.

MADRID, Feb. 6.-Intense excitement
was caused here by the receipt Sunday
evening of the following official dis
patch from Gen. Rios, the Spanish
commander in the Philippines:
1.-THE insurgents have violently at
tackled and captured almost the whole
of the exterior American line. The
Americans offered a vigorous defense
at the exterior barriers, using their ar
tillery as we'll as the squadron.
THE war ships destroyed and burn
ed Caloocan, Pace and several towns
in the neighborhood. Both sides suf-
fered materially. Very sharp firing con-
tinues. The Spanish troops have been
confined to quarters, but sergeant
has been wounded by a stray bullet.

The popular sympathies here are on
the side of Aguinaldo, but thinking
people are anxious regarding the con-
sequences of the fighting, especially on
account of the Spanish prisoners still
in the hands of the insurgents.

drove the Filipinos from the villages
of Pace and Santa Mesa. The Ne
braska regiment also distinguished
itself, capturing several prisoners and
one howitzer and a very strong posi-
ton at the reservoir, which is con-
nected with the water works.
The Kansas and Dakota regiments
compelled the enemy's right flank to
retire to Caloocan.
There was intermittent firing at va
rious points all day long.
The losses of the Filipinos can not be
estimated at present. but are known
to be considerable.
The American losses are estimated
at 20 men killed and 125 wounded.
The Ygorates, armed with bows and
arrows, made a very determined stand
in the face of hot artillery fire and
left many men dead on the field
Several attempts were made in this
city Saturday evening to assassinate
American officers.
MANILA, Monday, Feb. &C. a. H.
The Filipinos have apparently reached
the conclusion that the Americans
mean business, now that the barriers
are removed, as there were no further
hostilities Saturday light and no at
tempt was made to recover the lost
ground. 1t is possible, however, that
they are following the tactics they en-
ployed against the Spaniards and will
merely lie off few days to recuperate
their forces before returning to the at
tack.
1t is impossible to ascertain as yet
how the news has been received at
Malolos, the seat of the insurgent gov
eminent, but the Filipinos in Manila
express the opinion that the movement
for independence has received its death
blow and that annexation will soon be
welcomed generally.

at the mining camp of Independence
Is miles from here, is critical in the
extreme. Starvation stares the inhabi-
tants of the town in the face. Provis-
ION and fuel supplies are nearly ex-
hausted. Wood that had been piled up
for winter use lies buried under many
feet of snow and can not be reached.
The mines there, in all probability,
must close down until spring.
Roads leading to this place, the
only source of supply for Independence,
are impossible and the only method of
iourneying between the two places is
on snow shoes, an exceedingly danger
ous method of travel. The storm is
still raging fercely at Independence.
making the outlook more gloomy.
Snow slides are so frequent between
Aspen and Independence that it is al
most suicidal to venture on the route
there.
