FIRE AT ILOILO.
Whole Commercial Quarter of the City is
Destroyed.

Whole Commercial Quarter of the City is
Destroyed.
Paris, Feb. 25-Agents in this city Of
the Filipinos have received news from
Iliolo, saying that the outbreak of fire
there was not the work of natives, but
was started by the American shells.
When the attack commenced the Fill
pinos and foreign residents were en-
deavoring to persuade General Lopez,
the Filipino commander, to submit, as
Iliolo was not fortified and was there
fore not in position to resist the
American attack.
The whole commercial quarter of
Iliolo, it appears, was destroyed. Fin
ally, the Filipinos say, the foreign resi-
dents subsequently met, protested
against the bombardment and resolved
to put in claims for damages.

CARRIED DUMMY GUNS.
Surprising Discovery Made in Capture of
Fillpinos.

Surprising Discovery Made in Capture of
Filipinos.
New York, Feb. 2S.--A cablegram
from Manila says: A surprising dis
covery was made when the insurgents
captured on the skirmish line were
brought in. 1t was found that many
of them were armed with dummy ri
fles, there being about three dummies
to every Mauser. This bluff made by
the du mmies having been discovered,
the secret of the apparently excellent
equipment of the insurgents has been
revealed. 1t was a source of wonder to
General Otis where arms could have
come from.
Consul-General Wildman has insisted
that he has effectually suppressed the
shipping of rifles and ammunition from
Hongkong, and confirmatory evidence
of this has not been wanting, but in
spite of all this armed bodies of insur-
gents, carrying equipment seemingly
of the first-class, have been seen fre-
quently.
If the ratio of dummy guns to eff
fective arms found on the captured in
surgents holds good in the entire in
surgent army, then the actual fighting
strength of the Filipinos does not
amount to much, although it must be
admitted that they are improving re-
markably in their Workmanship.

wH1TMoRE CANYON BRANCH.
Price People Want It Started From
That Town
Especial Correspondencel

Price, Utah. April 21.-Sev eral promi-
nent business men of this city and
heavy property owners have been in
correspondence the last ten days with
several of the salt Lake officials of the
Rio Grande Western railway with
reference to the building of the branch
line from Price to the coal fields Of
Whitmore canyon The talk of tho
company in the past has been that the
line would probably than likely
branch off from the main line at
Wellington, six miles to the east Of
here. The Pleasant Valley Coal COM
pany, it is believed, has bought the
mines of Whitmore canyon from r.
A. Kirker and associates and of which
there are 5000 acres OF coal that col1es
superior to that at Castle Gate. OF
course the mines cannot De operated
without railroad, so that the first
thing to be done when the deal is
closed win be the building of this line.
From Price the distance is some four
miles greater than from Wellington.
and in order TO induce the company to
build from Price it has been suggested
that 4 bonus might be raised here.
In addition to an inducement of this
nature It is cited that the line would
tap valuable mines along the way, one
of which has vein tWenty-three feet
in width and only eight miles from the
city. X is for domestic purposes the
best coal so far found in eastern Utah.
Some idea Of the width of the vein may
be had when it is stated that a two

in on the vein and there turned around
and headed for town. 1t is owned by
a. Bali ceer and J. NJ Whitmore OF
Salt Lake City. Just before the Union
Pacific went into receivers hands this
property was practically sold to that
road.
There are other properties en- route
that would no doubt prove equally as
valuable for commercial use, but have
never been tested as to cokinS quail
ties.
In reply to letters Superintendent
Welby has written that the communi-
cations of the Price gentlemen have
gone up higher which is interpreted
to mean that they have been referred
to Colonel Dodge and General Palmer
The line OF road if builS from here will
be forty miles in length. The letters of
Mr. Welby would indicate that he looks
upon Price with favor.

THE CARD CATALOGUE.
It Is Finished at Last-New Rules
of the Public Library.

The new card catalogue for the public
library has been completed by Miss
Lawson, the expert cataloguer, who
with two assistants, has been engaged
nearly a year on the task. The cata-
logue embraces classificatiOns by titles
and authors and by subjects. AS soon
as the regular staff can get at it the
cataloguing of the reference books and
the government publications will be I'M
dertaken but in all other respects the
work of Miss Lawson is complete and
satisfactory.
Hereafter patrons of the library will
be expected to consult the cards in the
filing case for their needs and to note
by numbers on requisition slips the
books they desire to borrow. The
method is very simple and time-sav-
ing, and by consulting the printed find
ing lists no inconvenience need be eX-
perienced by any one.
On account Of the limited staff of Ii
brarians another new rule has been
promulgated, by which patrons are de-
MED access to the book shelves. 1t re-
quired a person constantly to follow up
the misdoings of those who were given
access to the books, and as much as the
library trustees would like to continue
a custom that is so convenient to the
public they are without funds to main
tain so large a staff of assistants in the
library work
