The use of crude oil for killing the
dust on railroad beds has been SO suc-
cessful that experiments in the same
direction have been tried on country
roads. The experiments were UNDER
takn by Maj. Meigs, who had noted the
change that had taken place In a bad
bit of road near a town in Pennsyl-
vania, where an old oil pipe had been
leaking for some time. This pipe was
near a place in the road that was in
variably impossible during the season
Of spring and fall rains. The ground
became so saturated by the oil that the
mud rapidly dried up, and the surface
of the earth became hard and remain
ed 90. A tank containing some 130
barrels was used for tests. which were
made on a notoriously bad stretch Of
road. The results have proved that 1t
is easy to keep the worst road in com
dition by treating it with oil. which
prevents the earth from becoming wet
by forming q waterproof crust. It II
estimated that a barrel Of crude oil will
sufice for q strip Of road 100 feet long
and twelve feet wide. The cost Of the
oil at the. wells is about 30 cents .

Manila, Feb. Z. - The long expected
rupture between the Americans and
Eilipinos has come at last. The form
err are now engaged in solving the Phil
ippine problem with the utmost eXpcdi-
tiCu possible. The clash came at $40
o'clock Saturday evening when three
daring Filipinos darted past the Amer
lean pickets at Santa Mesa and refused
to stop when challenged. They re-
peated the experiment without draw
ing the sentries' fire, but the third time
Corporal Greedy challenged the Fill
pinos and then fired, killing II of
them and wounding another. Almost
Immediately afterward the Filipinos'
line, from Coloocan to Santa Mesa
commenced a fusillade which was in
effectual. The Nebraska, Montana
vigorously and held their ground until
reinforcements arrived. The Filipinos,
in the meantime, concentrated at three
T"'nts, Caloocan, Ga!gagin and Santa
esa. At about / O'clock the Filipincs
opened a hot fire from all three places
simultaneously. This was supple
mented by the fire If two siege guns
at Balk-balk and ty advancing their
skirmishers at Pace aml Pandacuan.
The Americans responded with a ter
rifle fire, but owing to the darkness
they were unable to determine its eff
feet. The Utah light artillery finally
succeeded in silencing the native bat
terry. The Third artillery also did good
work on the extreme left. The engage
nlent lasted over IN hour.
Warshjps Take Part.
The United States cruiser Charles
ton and gunboat Concord, stationed OF
Malabona, opened fire from their Sec
ondary batteries on the Filipinos' posi-
ton at Caloocan and kept 1t up Wig
orously. At 2:45 there was another
fusillade along the entire line and the
monitor Monadnock opened fire on
the enemy from off Malate. With day.
light the Americans advanced. The
California and Washington regiments
made a splendid charge and drove the
Filipinos from the villages Of Pace and
Santa Mesa. The Nebraska regiment
also distinguished itself, capturing sew
eral prisoners nna n Howitzer and a
very strong position at the reservoir
which is connected with the water
works. The Kansas and Dakota regi-
ments compelled the enemy's right
flank to retire to Caloocan. There was
intermittent firing at various points all
day long. The losses Of the Ealipinos
cannot be estimated at present, but
they are known to be considerable.
The American losses are estimated at
twenty men killed and 125 wounded.
The Ygorates, armed with bows and
arrows, made a very determined stand
in the face Of a heavy artillery fire and
left many dead on the field. Many at
tempts were made in this city to as
Cassinate American officers.

The success of Mr.. Porter's mission
greatly simplifies the returning OF the

posed prior attitude of hostility, MI.
Porter came clothed with absolute au-
thority and tiu tender Of the $4,000

Mr.. Porter made plain the purpose OF
the government and was grained at
the ready response of Gen. Gomez.
The conference took place Mt the house
here occupied by the Cuban general as
his headquarters since coming to
town. In brief the compact is as fol-
lows:
First - The Cuban officers in each
province shall assist the American Of
fcers in distributing the funds.
Second-These officers shall at once
meet at some convenient point and de-
wise when and where the settlements
are to be made and arrange any other
details.
Third - That the sum paid to each
man shall not be regarded as part pay
ment of salary or wages due for SER
vice rendered, but to facilitate the
disarmament Of the army.

Montreal, Que, Feb. s. - Agoncillo
and his aid, NJ. Marti, spent q very
busy day in Montreal. When shown
the dispatches announcing the ratitica-
ton of the treaty Agoncillo appeared
dazed. and it was evident that it was
most unexpected. After a minute or
two he pulled himself together and
strobe rapidly up and down the room.
His small black eyes snapped and his
face redeemed with anger.
"And so,' lie angrily exclaimed,
"they have passed the treaty. The
great American people, after, promis-
ing us our liberty, have decided to keep
the islands for themselves. What
would have happened had we not be-
lieved The sacred promises of your Ad-
miral Dewey and your consular agent
and had refused to help you after the
battle of Manila bay? How could
YOU Americans have kept Manila If We
had not helped you? And this is the
way YOU repay our trust and conf.
dence."
"What will. be the position of the in
surgent government now that the
treaty has been ratitiedy' was askeu.
1--WE will wait and find out what
:our people are going to propose" SAID
agoncillo.
"Will the insurgents continue the
war they have started against the
United States"
II tell you there is no war. We do
not want to fight unless you force US
to-"
1t was suggested that if there had
been no war the fight on Saturday ana
Sunday seemed to be a rather rough
form of sport.
'That was an accident" vehemently
replied Agoncillo. II tell you l know
our people did not mean to fight. Iney
sent me as their representative to talk
with your president So that there
would be no fight. 1t has been another
mistake of your generals. 1t is not
the first blunder they have made since
they reached Manila. We have oil
slong regarded the Americans as our
friends. Why should we not? We
united to fight a common enemy-or
rather, you united with us, for, we mad
been fighting them for years. We
should have won III liberty even Wit1k
out Dewey and your soldiers: AS \

1--WE want independence and independ-
ence only. That is what we have been
fighting for all along. We are q civil
ICED people. We have schools and col
.eges. We are an Industrious people
and, naturally. n peaceful people, but
if it should come about that the United
States should force us to fight they
would find that, while they would win
many battles. yet they could not
