In the city Of Buenos Ayres the us-
terial which is being most used nov
for paving purposes is the wood Of the
algarrobo tree II is very hard and IS
considered by many Argentine experts
to have given better results than
asphalt In 1899 seventy-one street
blocks were paved with this wood
Buenos Ayres now has 5.oco. 900 square
metres of paved streets and 6.5eo. 600
of unpaved streets About $4,000. 900,
national currency, has been spent on
street payements in Argentine's eapi-
tai and greater development is planned
for this year. With so much algarrooo
growing on this Island would ii oot
be a good idea to pave one block with
il as an experiment?

London, April Pit is now appar-
ent that the chances Of Lord Roberts
catching the retreatiny Beers in n net
are very slender. The Beers have
everywhere retired at the first pressure
Of the British advance, and the hope
that General Rumble would lie able to
Dorp until they had been forced to

No attempt was made to pursue the

Everything now depends upon the pro-

country.
The cavalry have already had long
march over heavy and sandy roads, and
nothing is known regarding the condi'

now a race between the federals and
the forces of General French and Cen
sral Hamilton.
The slOwness OF the recent move

vious experience of the ability of the
Beers to move rapidly, with guns and
baggage, over their own country lead
to belief that Lord Roberts envelop.

to be repeated further north. At the
most he will, perhaps, capture some
Boer guns and baggage, and hurry the
retreating burghers.

.Iput, and the rise in the creeks and
branches was so rapid that it did not
give the inhabitants time to flee.
Three persons, two women and man,
al colored, were drowned within 100
yards OF the city hall. Their bodies
were washed into the Brazos river and
nave not been recovered.
There were several people, mostly

PERU AND CHILE UNEASY.
Former Looks to United states to
smooth Their Difficulties.

Former Looks to United States ia
smooth Their Difficulties.
Washington, April 28.-The present
dispute between Chilli and Peru is Il
legacy OF the last war between those
two countries, about Is years ago.
One OF the terms OF peace was that the
victor, Chile, should occupy the two
valuable Peruvian nitrate provinces OF
Tacna and africa, adjoining the Chilean
boundary on the north. for period OF
10 years.
At the end OF that period the people
of the provinces were to determine by
their vote whether their lands should
remain in the possession OF Chile or re-
vert to Peruvian sovereignty. In the
first case, Chile was to pay Peru 10.
600, 900 silver soles, while If the prov
ipce was returned to Peru, the govern
ment OF that country was to pay Chile
corresponding sum Of money. The
allegation is now that the treaty pro.
vision on this point was not exacted;
that there was no plebescite and that
no money passed.
Because the United States was deeply
interested in bringing about the peace
which terminated the bitter war be-
tween Chile and Peru, it is probably
assumed by the Peruvians that oul
government likewise retains an interest
in the faithful execution of the term.
OF the treaty. 1t must, however,
admitted that up to this time our gov
eminent has not manifested any par
ticular interest in the subject. and has
not even received any application, Sc
cret or otherwise. from either of the
parties to intervene at this last phase,

seem to Indicate purpose on the part
of the Peruvians, at least, to enlist oul
sympathies in our behalf.
