through the southern section Of
the gold belt known as the Seine
river country, which touches at
Fort Frances and follows the
eastern bank Of the Rainy river
north to a point known as Beaver
Mill, ten miles from the mouth OF
the river. A large steel bridge is
now to be constructed across the
river there into Minnesota. The
road is already built southeast
from Winnipeg to Warroad, Min.
nesota. Large crews Of men are are
at work all along the line Of the
Canadian road, and it is expected
that the line will be completed ia
time to take out the Manitoba

The building Of this road from
Bemidil, which is undoubtedly.
an extension Of the Brainerd "
Northern, now owned BY the.
Northern Pacific, will make the
gold section tributary to the head
Of the lakes and the Twin Cities,
besides opening up immense me tins n
Der belts and agricultural re-.

Bemidii will have a national
bank soon. The bank Of Benlidjl
is to resolve itself into national
bank with capital stock of S25,

bank are It's incorpoTators. Some
time will be required to effect the

the most reliable class of banking
institutions, speaks well Of the
Bank Of Bemidji managers and OF

Asuinaldo'. Statement False.

The President yesterday sent to the Sen
ate reply to the statements made by
Aguinaldo in his True version of the
Philippine revolution" In that statement
Aguinaldo said, among other things, that
the Spaniards had captured six guns from
the American soldiers In front of Manila
before the surrender of that city to the
American forces, and that they We're recap
tured by the Filipinos and returned to the
Americans. This statement was referred
to in the Senate, which, the correspondence
furnished today shows, caused Secretary
Root to refer it to Gen. F. V. Greene, who
was in charge Of the American troops, with
the request for an explanation. Gen.
Greene referred Aguinaldo's statement to
the battalion and battery commanders, who
were engaged against the Spaniards at the
time referred to. and he forwarded their
replies in REPUTATION of the charge.
Gen. Greene himself says: 1.-The state
ments made by Aguinaldo are absolutely
without foundation; each and every one of
them Is untrue: the United States did not
fall back; did not abandon a single rifle or
a single field gun: did not make a precipi-
tate retreat; the Filipinos did not rush to
GUS assistance; did not recapture the rifles
and field guns, and did not return them to
the Americans. The Filipinos took no part
in the agements between the Spaniards
and American troops. Every single state
ment in the extract quoted in your letter ia
false"
