BETTER TERMINALS.
It is Rdmored That the Santa Fe Has
Acquired California Road.

San Francisco. March LIT is ru-
mored that the Santa Fe has secured
control of the Colorado & Nevada road
in order to establish a terminal that
will afford more easy means of access
to San Francisco than could be secured
if the transcontinental lined ended at
Point Richmond.
The Santa Fe by acquiring the right
of way of the California &, Nevada line
to Emeryville would practically have a
right of way into Oakland.
At present the little line which it is
rumored has passed into the control Of
the Santa F7e has the tracks laid to a

FALL OF CEBU.
An Account of How the Surrender
Was Brought About.


New York, March IA dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says:
A letter from Cebu, dated February o,
states that the United States gunboat
Petrol arrived there on the 21st. Captain
Bormer of the British gunboat Pigmy and
the British vice consul boarded the Petrol
1mmedia tely and then returned to the
shore to confer with the insurgents
Eight leaders of the native force board
ed the Petrol in the afternoon and con-
ferred with Commander Cornwen. They
were afraid the Americans would treat
them the Spanish formerly did-confis-
cate their property and shoot them
Therefore they desired to retain their
arms.
Commander Cornwell assured them that
the present native government would rule
under his supervision. He gave them un-
til o'clock the following morning to
surrender.
There was great fear among the foreign
ers that the hill men would come in and
ing parties were kept in readiness on the

leaders arrived with a formal written sur
render, which stated that they yielded to

The Pope UndergOes Surgical
Operation
For Removal of Cyst From
the Thigh.
FEVERISH SYMPTOMS
Reported Yesterday Have En-
tirely Disappeared
And His Recovery is Conf
IDENTIFY Expected.

Rome, March 1.-The pope, whose
condition yesterday caused alarm,
passed a fairly good night and was bet
ter this morning.
DR.. Mazzini, shortly after 8 o'clock
this morning, removed a cyst from the
left thigh of the pontiff. The operation
was perfectly successful and the patient
bore it well.
1t appears that yesterdays feverish
symptoms were entirely due to the cyst,
from which the pope has long suffered.
He now has no trace of fever and DR..
Mazzini thinks no complications will
ensue.
Strict measures have been taken to
exclude outsiders from the vatican.
Some of the morning papers asserted
that the pope was suffering from rheu-
matte fever, following a chill, and that
it was feared pleurisy would intervene.
The operation was performed at $3.50
a. m.
The pope yesterday desired the cyst
to be simply Ianced, but he consented to
it's removal on the doctors insisting on
the point.
The pope, as this dispatch is sent, has
just partaken of eggs, biscuits and
Marsala wine.
DR.. Lapponi, who remains at the vat
lean, saw the pope at 1:30 p. m. and
found him to be in fairly satisfactory
condition. Numbers of dispatches Of
inquiry as to the pope's health have
been received at the vatican and other
callers are arriving there.
AN OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
Rome, March 1.-The following official
bulletin has been issued:
His Holiness underwent an operation
at 10 o'clock this morning for the re-
movaI of a long standing cyst, which
suddenly became inf1amed. His holiness
bore the operation remarka bly, we'll al
though it was impossible to use chloro-
form. The pope's condition is now fair

THE FILIPINOS' SIDE.
They Claim to Hold 900 American
Prisoners.

London, March 1.-The Filipino Eur

dispatch from Manila, dated February
%:
1.-The last encounters have been real
battles. We now hold Pasig, Paternos,
and Guadalupe. Our northern line has
advanced to Tondo. The American los
ses are far larger in proportion than
ours. We hold 900 American prisoners.
who will be taken into the interior. Not
one of our people has surrendered and
our government maintains it's inde-
pendence and will not yield.
"A Filipino telegram from Cebu as
serts that the foreign residents have
asked the insurgents to withdraw in or
der to avoid a bombardment.
1.-The F'ilipinos have acceded, trusting
that their action will be brought before
the foreign consuls with the view of ar
ranging equitable settlement with
the Americans"

INSTRUCTIONS TO OTIS
And Dewey to Take Charge of German
Interests.

Washington, March Ito carry out
the presidents promise relative to the
pr0tection of German residents and
property in the Philippines, a cable dis
patch has been sent to Admiral Dewey
and one to Gen. Otis instructing them
on that point. The published statement
in certain newspapers that the German
proposition included the extension of
the protection of the United States over
German interests in the Samoan group
it is said at the state department is
erroneous. The German ambassadors s
proposition touched only the Philip
pines.
The treaty of Berlin imposes upon the
three treaty powers which undertook
the government of Samoa the duty of
maintaining one or more warships there
at intervals and the protocols to the
treaty show that no matter what may
be the nationality of the vessel that
happens to be on the station, in the
event of trouble she was to protect the
interests of all three treaty powers
without discrimination.

TO KILL STATE FAIR.
Senate Disposes of Senator
Hanna's Bill in Short Order.

The senate took action upon Senator
Uanna's proposed state fair bill. this
morning, in such a manner as to indicate
that it will be killed.
This bill was prepared by the members
of the state board of agriculture and in
dorsed by the swine breeders and stock
growers. 1t carried an appropriation of
$50, 900, to used a guaranty fund for a
state fair or annual eXpositions, as the
bill defines them. This fund was to be
used as a guaranty fund, for premiums,
competition to be open to the world.
The bill was reached this morning, hav-
ing been advanced the calendar. 1t
was on third reading having been recon-
mended for passage by the senate commit
tee on agriculture, Stone, chairman.
When the bill was read, Mr.. Forney in
quired why this bill. carrying an appro-
priation, had not been referred to his COM
mittee of ways and means.
Senators Hanna and Stone opposed Lew
elling'S motion to recOmmit the bill to the
ways and means committee, arguing that
the farmers had a right to expect such
concessions from the legislature.
Senator King opposed the bill on gen.
eral principles and supported the PROPOSE
ton to recommit the bill.
This will kill the BILL said Hanna, as
the senators voted to send it back to the
ways and means committee.

By the German President of the
Council at Apia.

Sydney, N. S. W., March 1.-Advices
received here from Apia under date of
February II, say that affairs there are
still unsatisfactory. The provisional

also with the servants of British sub
jects and is taxing the Malietoa people
81 and Mataafa people 81.
Dr. Raffel, the German president of
the municipal council at Apla, at the
instigatton of the British consul has
apoIogized for boycotting the British
third class cruiser Porpoise and for in
sulting the chief Justice and Malietoa' s
lawyer while they were guests on board
the Porpoise.
