Americans.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Important
news concerning IloilO was received at
the war department from Gen. Otis to-
day. There is reason to believe that

there with instructions to demand the
surrender of Plano, aud if the demand
is refused to take it by force.
The troops at Iloilo are the 18th
regiment of infantry and one battery OF
the 9th regular artillery. These are
on trans norts lying near the entrance
of Iloilo Bay.
The war ships Baltimore and Petre
are at Iloilo and the Boston is on her

though majority of the mem bers are
said to be in favor of it the final sOlu-

~Other matters which are receiving
attention are the plans to prevent the
increase of clergy certificates, the mis-
use of live stock ticket and the Cana
dian Pacifc's request that it be allow
ed to make the same rates on such
business via Montreal to European
ports as are made by the direct Amer

THE WATER SUPPLY.
Plenty of Water For All Ordinary
Or Extraordinary Purposes.

The HERALD received q communica-
tion this morning from q citizen point
ing out that only two of the three re-
servoirs contained water and asking IL
the one would supply q sufficient
amount OF water in case of an emer-
gency.
Now the truth is that two of the re.
servoirs have not been used since the
wells were dug, some five years ago.
They formerly served to hold river
water to allow it to settle
and clarity for drinking purposes.
Now one tank Is used to hold in reserve
the water which is sent through the
mains by the pumps but not consumed
in the city. And the one tank is con-
| sidered ample for any possible emer-
gency.
Water used by consumers comes direct
from the mains. These are kept con.
always gOing,-One being always held
in reserve for use in case of accident
The fire engine when at it's best and
connected with two hydrants is capable
OF throwing three tons of water q min
ute, and during the last big fire it
worked seven hours at its utmost capa
city and the water in the reservoir was
lowered very little; the gauge at that
time was lower than at present.
The officials of the water company
said this morning that besides the
great pressure from the pumps the re-
serve reservoir contained all the water
that would be needed should half the
town catch fire. The insurance agents,
they said, paid particular attention to
the water supply and the pressure, and
would quickly raise insurance rates or
cancel policies If the water supply was
inadequate.

DARING CHINESE
BURGLAR LOCKED
IN THE TANKS
Ex-Convict All Loui
Captured.
POLICE NO LONGER PUZZLED
Taken Into Custody After Making
an Unsuccessful Attempt to En-
ter Fashionable Resi-
dence.
POLICE NO LONGER PUZzLE[

Safely locked in the tanks at the City
Prison Is All Loui, desperate Chinaman
whom the police believe is responsible for
the series of daring burglaries that have
been committed in the Western Addition
during the last few nights. The willy
Mongol was arrested last night by Special
Policeman Daley and Policeman Whelan,
just he was leaving fashionable resi-
dence on California street, where he had
made an unsuccessful attempt to force
the front door open with a jimmy.
Ever since the series OF burglaries that
have puzzled the police were successfully
committed the officers in the western por-
ton of the city were given orders TO be
especially vigiant and arrest all suspi-
ciouS characters seen lowering about their
beats. Shortly after o'clock last even
ing Special Daley and Officer Whelan no.
ticed the Chinaman skulking in the dark
shadows close to the edge OF the sidewalk
and they. stood across the street and
watched him.
In few moments All Loui disappeared
up the stairs of residence close by and
remained at the door several minutes
Then he came hastily downstairs and
started to run up the street. The officers
,gave chase and soon captured him. When
placed under arrest the Chinaman became
ugly and defiant and protested that his
only object in visiting the house was to
sell lottery tickets. AS an evidence of
good faith the prisoner reached under his
blouse and drew forth a Wad of Chinese
lottery tickets.
Policeman Whelan left All Loui in
charge of the special officer and went
back to the residence the Chinaman at
tempted to enter. There he ascertained
that he had not rung the bell but at
tempted to force the door with a Jimmy.
The occupants of the house heard the
sounds and started toward the front door,
thus frightening him Off
The prisoner was taken to the CIV
Prison, where he was thoroughly searched
by his captors, assisted by several detec-
tives from the upper office. On his per-
son were found a complete set of burg
lars tools, including Jimmy and a skele-
ton key of unusually fine make. The key
was concealed in the sole of his stocking.
During the searching process one of the
detectives identified All Loui as an ex-
convict and a clever Chinese crook VINO
