IA Now Connected.
CnICAao, Jan. a. Water was turned
Into Chicago's great new drainage
canal at Q yesterday morning. At the
hour mentioned the Is foot wall Of
earth, separating the collateral chan
mel from the canal, = small portion Of
which was removed during the night,
was completely cut away by the steam
dredge and the. water began flowing
into the channel, which forms the
connecting link to carry : portion Of
the waters Of Lake Michigan into the
Mississippi river. The primary object
of this great work, which has cost 333,-
600, 600, was to dispose of Chicago's
sewage, which empties into the Chica-
90 river. and has been flowing partly
into the Illinois and Michigan canal,
partly into, the lake, concentrating
the source Of water supply. At the
same time its ultimate use . q ship
canal connecting the great lakes and
the Gulf Of Mexico is kept in view.
As . mere drainage canal 1t need not
have cost over $4,000, 900. The canal
when in full operation will carry 1900
cubic feet Of water per minute. which,
it is thought, will so dilute the sewage
as to render it innocuons. 1t will
probably take a week to FIJI the chan
mel. The project has been q little
over seven years in the course OF
construction, ..,gs ,

EXPECT HEAVY BATTLE.

Doer Intrenchments Stretch Away fol
Miles At All Points.
LONDON, Jan. Sit is fully expected
that next week will see heavy battle
on the Tugela river, which is now the
real pivot of the campaign. The Boer'
appear to be working incessantlywifn'
shovel and pick. Lord Nthhssn's cav:
airy scouting has dev'oped the fact
that the Boer .iatrnchments extend
some fost~.uies, far overlapping the
.RNdsn positions and making flank
movements extremely difficult. Mill
tary analysis affirms that the Boer
trenches confronting General Butler
stretch awav, some seventeen miles
and that work on them is pushed un-
remittingly. While the advance is de-
layed, flank movements are rendered
most difficult, because long marches
are not done with celebrity, and it is
hard to time an attack with certainty.
The extent of the Dutch rising may
now be measured by taking q line
from Prieska on the west to Herchel
or Barkley on the east. On the whole
of this line, except at points actually
occupied by the British, the population
seems for the most part ],ostile.

Montejo before the Spanish court mar

his feet at Manila last fall. The ad.
miral contrasts his equipment with

admiral Dewey knew exactly the
weight of the most powerful lprojectile
of our ships, and by q simple mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation he arrived at the
distance he could fight at without him
self receiving any harm, Thus he
could fight at a distance of 5000 or
1900 feet with absolute impunity.
The situation therefore was Just this:
We were vulnerable to all proiectiles
of the enemy and this the enemy well
knew. while he got out of reach all the
while" 5 ' 5.
Admiral Montejo adds: Gin order to
give an idea OF orr miserable situa-
ton. may mention that we had only
fourteen torpedoes for the defense Of
5000 feet Of space. and that the cable
which we obtained in Hong Kong was
only long enough for FIVE torpedoes
and therefore only Ave torpedoes,

HAVANA, Jan. 5.-The yellow fever
report for :ts99'!showsi 1913 deaths in
Havana, which means that eighty.
three persons have died Of the disease
since General Ludlow's report was Is
sued at the end of August last. Dur
ing the month Of December there were
seventy new cases, of whom twenty
two died. On January of this year
there were twenty-five cases under
treatment. To day there are seven
teen. The cold weather will probably
diminish the number. This record
does not compare favoraoly with the
secord prior to the revolution, al
though the sanitary authorities claim
t'at the increase of mortality is due
to the fact that an unusually large
number of Spanish immigrants have
arrived during the last few months.

the husband of an Indian girl, Lelah-

Indian agent. The agent had had
himself appointed guardian OF the
girl by the district court of Tama

and against the wish of her relatives,
and compelled her to attend the Indian
school. Her attorney claimed the state
had no authority over the Indians,
that the local court cannot appoint
guardians, and the agent had No an
thority to compel her attendance at
school. Judge Sbiras sustains the In
dams at every point and censures the
agent; he also severely censures the

Alden, which is occupied by the British

steamer show no war material on
board, she was compelled to discharge
her cargo.
