BY A GREAT RAILROAD
The British South Africa

$3OO,OOO.OOO.

LONDON, May 2.-An extraordinary
meeting of thes British South African
company was held here today at which
Cecil Rhodes outlined his plans for his
Cape to Cairo railroad, and dwelt
glowingly on the possibilities of South
Africa.
The enthusiastic stockholders, who
cheered Rhodes interminably. made the
meeting seem more like a political
convention than commercial meet
ing.
When Rhodes described how he had
secured the telegraph franchise for the
road through German West Africa
from the kaiser in three days, his hear
ers went wild with enthusiasm.
1t was unanimously agreed to assume
the expense of the railroad, which will
amount to sixty million pounds. $780,

EVACUATE AT ONCE
The Spaniards Will Not Wait To Be

MADRID, May 2.-Orders have been
set through General Rios, Spanish
commander in the Philippines, for the
Spanish troops at Zamboags, island of
Mindanao, and in the Zulu islands, to
evacuate their positions and return
home without waiting to be relieved by
the Americans.
The cooperation involved in the
Spaniards holding garrisons in the
Philippines until the Americans could
get sufficient reinforcements to take
their places has excited strong pro-
test in the press here, and the govern.
ment has been urged for some time to
call home the Spanish troops.

REMARKABLE FEAT
In Ship Work Accomplished in Eng.
land.

LONDON, May 2.-One of the most
remarkable feats in ship construction
in modern times has just been accom-
plished at Wsllsend-on-Tyne. Last
summer the steamer Milwaukee, one
of the largest cargo vessels afioat ran
ashore on line of hidden reefs on the
Aberdeenshire shore.
The divers found that q rock 80 feet
long and eight feet high had complete
ly penetrated the bottom of the vessel
in the main hold. The saving of the
whole chip being impossible it was de-
termined to cut the ship in two and
save the after portion, thus preserving
the engines and boilers.
The method resorted to of cutting
the vessel was the application of sue
cessive charges of dynamite to tear as
under the eteel plates. The salvaged
half of the Milwaukee was floated,
docked and rebuilt.

the Affair.

Nicolas QuinterO WAS before the
United States commissioner yesterday
afternoon for hearing and at 4:3O
O'Clock was bound over to the grand
jury in the sum of $500 in default of
which he went to Jail.
Some of the cigars seized in his fac

Mexicans. Hon. A. u. Foster, as
sistant district attorney, conducted the

DEL ARA'S STATEMENT.
Eugene Del Ara in reply to q reques.
for statement this morning gave out
the following for publication:
81 bought altogether about 900
cigars from Quintero and supposed
that everything was all right, he being
in the cigar business. Some one said
to me: You had better be careful or
you will be handling smuggled
goods
81 spoke to Mr.. Quintero and be said
1t was all right. he made his cigars; 30
thought no more about it.
81 needed some money and had more
cigars than l needed SO I sold few
boxes and knew nothing about the
goods having been smmugg led until I
was arrested. My transactions have
been perfectly honest, open. and above
board and I think everything will be all
right, when they find out just how the
cigars came into my possession. I
thought 1 had right to sell them and
did sell few of them.''

BALTIMORE ELECTION
Results Are Eagerly Awaited BY
Politicians.

BALTIMORE, Md, May 2.-The re-
suit of the city election in progress
here today is esrgerly awaited by po-
liticians of the state and of the country
at large, ss the effect it will have on
the state cam paign in generally re-
cognized. Democratic success at the
polls today means the election OF
democratic state ticket and democratic
legislature in November, while re-
publican victory is equally certain to
result in a republican victory In the
state campaign.
The municipal campaign has been
the most bitter ever seen here. For
the mayoralty the democrats have
nominated State Senator Thomas
Hayes. while the republicans have re-
nomir ated Mayor Malster.
A victory for Mayor Malster will
mean that his leadership of the Mary
land repu blicsns. in opposition to Sen
ator McComas, will be assured. On
the other hand, democratic victory
will not be without it's significance as
regards state and national politics.
Mr.. Hayes, the democratic can
didate, is a close friend and warm sup
porter of ex-senator German, and bis
election would consequently give the
latter a fresh hold on the state of
Maryland, and might help along the
boom which he is credited

HEROES LAID TO REST
Impressive Scene At Arlington
When Taps Was Played.

HNCH dpS H0S FIoyCu'
WASHINGTON. May darlington
Cemetery witnessed more patriotic ser.
vices today. The bodies of $50 soldiers,
brought from Cuba and Porto Rico on
the steamer Crooke, were laid to rest.
All the United States troops stationed
in this vicinity had been called out and
took part in the ceremonies.
The scene as one approached the
burial ground was q memorable one.
To every soldier was given a single
grave, and long lines of coffins draped
with American flags had been placed
on crossbeams over the pits dug to re-
ceive them.
All the arrangements were dignified
and conducted in such way that no
ones sensibilities were offended. The
services were simple in the extreme,
and, therefore, the more impressive.
The burial rite of the Episcopal church
was read by Chaplain G. W. Freeland
from Fort Monroe, who stood on the
black-drspped platform erected for the
use of the clereymen and officials.
Shortly after the solemn words,
Earth to earth, dust to dust,
ashes 80 asi es." we're said and the SOL
diers standing at the head of the
coffins threw their handfuls of earth
upon the narrow houses of their form
er comrades, three volleys were fired
across the graves, and
solitary trumpeter sounded taps"
AT this moment perfect silence reign
ed, and as the clear notes of tho trum-
pet broke the stiffness of the spring air

COMPLETE SURRENDER

MANILA, May 2.-Aguinaldo. the
Philippine chief, has himself made
overtures for peace with the Amer
leans.
Col. Manuel Arguelles, one of the
ENJOYS sent into the American lines by
Gen. Luna, revisited Gen. Otis today
and presented proposition which
came directly from Aguipaldo.
1t is in effect the same proposition
heretofore made by Gen. Luna, that
the Americans grant an armistice
until the Filipino congress met and
decided whether or not the Filipino
army should surrender.
Gen. Otis declined the proposition
and told Arguelles that it was useless
for the Filipinos to return until they
came prepared to accept the American
demands.
The Filipinos must lay down their
arms and surrender befor e any condi-
tions except that of amnesty are grant
ed them.
The Filipino army is known to be in
bad shape. It is believed the next step
taken by it's leaders will be total sur
