news from Manila tomorrow, announc-
ing, in all probability, ~the capture Of
the city of Santa Cruz a leading town
in a country as yet untouched by the
American forces, and now in the hands
of the Filipino forces.
No report of the movement of Gen
eral LaWton'S men has been made to
the War Department, but the Associ-
ated Press announcement occasioned no
surprise. for the move is looked upon as
one of the natural steps in General
Otis carefully laid plans against the
insurgents.
Santa Cruz is a place of considerable
Importance in several respects. 1t is
the capital of the province of La Guna,
and has a population, according to the
best available information here, of con-
siderably more than 1900 persons.
1t is regarded as likely that General
Lawton has already gained possession
of this stronghold, for it is but short
journey over the bay lagoon, a fresh
water sea which comes almost up to
Manila itself, which is forty-eight miles
away from Santa Cruz.
The details of the dispatch show that
General Lawton, in aging the forma-
ton of squads of twelve. men each, will
make a thorough reconnaissance of the
ground before making a definite attack
upon the city. 1t is felt here that there
would be only a show of resistance by
the natives, and whether they actually
surrender the town or abandon it to the
southwark, the campaign against the
place will serve as an objective lesson
of the determined policy of our forces
in the island.
Santa Cruz is apparently an opening
wedge for the country beyond. From it
lead highways in all directions-to Ma
Mia by going around the shores of the
Bay Lagoon, and to the important point
of Batangas and the well advanced
province of Tayabaz, whose capital city
is located ninety -one miles from Manila.
General Lawton, however, may not con-
template any material advance beyond
Santa Cruz at this time, as the region
to the south is a very broken country,
covered with mountains, and the rainy
season is coming on; so that his pur-
pose may be merely to gain an advan-
tage of our position for the future.

Twelve Persons Drowned in the

ANACONDA (Mont), April 9-Spe-
Gals to the Standard from various
parts of Montana show that the recent
chinook has made raging torrents OF
most of the rivers, in many cases
breaking all records. The Yellowstone
has caused the greatest loss of life and
property. Ice jams have backed the
water up at Glendive and Miles City,
where the greatest damage has been
DONE
AT Miles City the ice jammed at the
mouth of Tongue River, forcing the
water back until the entire south side
of the city was under water. Seventy
five houses had to be abandoned, the
people having to be rescued in boats, SO
quick had been the rise of water. Later
in the afternoon the water broke over
the track into Main street, which ram
a torrent.
Dynamite has been used, and it is
supposed that the wash is over. The
loss cannot yet be estimated
Washouts are reported all along the
Northern Pacific, and passenger trains
are stalled all along the line, but the
details are slow in coming in.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
CHICAGO, April ga Record" spe-
cial from Glendive, Mont says: An ice
gorge in the Yellowstone River at this
point caused that stream to overflow
last night, drowning four persons. Eight
more are missing. Three spans of the
steel bridge are washed out, causing
loss of S25, 600 The Northern Pacific
tracks are inundated and possibly
washed away for some distance, and
the loss of livestock by drowning will
involve large sum-
The dead are: Mrs. r. w. Snyder,
wife of a rancher; Miss Nellie Reagan.
her niece; Miss Rose Wybecht, vis-
itor to the Snyder ranch; Eugene F.

The missing: James Sullivan, wire
and six children.
The ice began moving at 1:3O O'Clock
in the evening, and continued flowing
until 9:3O o'clock, when it formed, a
gorge. The Snyder party, noticing the
backwater. started for the Northern
Pacific tracks, hoping thus to escape
drowning, but before they covered hatt
the distance the water was waist-deep,
and they took refuge in a tree. O'Con-
nor was the first to be washel from the
tree. Mrs. Snyder the second, and Miss
Wybecht third A huge piece OF Ice
struck the tree and broke it in two,
carrying off Miss Reagan. 1t is thought
that the family of James Sullivan
(wife and six children) were swept
away by the overflow. as no trace OK

Stephen j. Field went to Smyrna, where
his sister had married a missionary,

BROKEN TROLLEY WIRE.

New Invention.

Danger to Passors-by Removed by q
New Invention.
A Chicago electrician has invented
device by which trolley wire becomes
dead as soon as 1t breaks. The device
Ia intended to make the so-called live
wire perfectly harmless. The invention
consists of an automatic circuit-break-
err, and its application will require no
change in the present generating and
feeding machinery. The current Is led
from the dynamo through the new cir
breaker, which Is simple auto
matte switch, and thence out along the
trolley wire. The current will run the
same course as before-from the dyna-
mo along the wire through the propell-
ing mechanism Of the car, into the
ground rail and returning to the
ground pole Of the generator A small
auxiliary wire, which leads a constant
current back from the overhead wire
and makes a completely conducted cir
cult, is the second feature Of the in
ventlon. This side current, the voltage
of which is insignificant and does not
weaken the feeder, keeps the switch
closed and the line is charged. The
moment break occurs on the feeding
or power line the auxiliary current Is
broken. The switch opens instantly
and not a single ampere goes out on
the circuit until the main line is again
repaired. Buffalo Express.

In keeping with the traditions OF his

striking independence Of character. At

in favor of q war, standing alone in
