ID CONNECT TENNESSEE RIVER
 WITH PROPOSED WARRIOR CANAL

sea; thence down Murphree's and Jones' valleys to North Birmingham, connecting with Valley river canal. Distance approx mating 79 miles.
 You will note North Birmingham is 92 feet lower than Guntersville, which is ap- proximately 50 feet higher than low water in the Tennessee river at Guntersville The principal engineering difficulty is the ridge dividing the waters of Tennessee and Warrior rivers just south of Brooks vile. cut, possibly 50 feet deep and 000 feet long would overcome this difficulty. Now, a lock and dam across the Tennes- see river at the shoals just above Gunters- vile would be the means of an ample SUD- ply or water in connection with the water supply from the Warrior river and tribu- taries, Of course I do not go into details as to surveys. construction, etc, of this important work, but wish to get your at tentlon drawn to this enterprise so that you can have an initiative purpose where in you can make the proper suggestions to opta1n the necessary amount from the United States government to construct this work
 T do not think it necessary to call your attention to the great benefits to be de- rived from this canal after construction It will pass immediately by the furnaces of the Sloss-Sheffield company at North Birmingham, the Thomas furnaces. the large furnaces and steel plants at Ensey 1iiy, the Woo0WaFu furnaces ana BeSSe- mer, besides it will be the greatest cheap traffic arrangements for the outlet of the Bessemer ores in East Tennessee to the Birmingham district as well as the cheap route for timber and grain from Tennessee and Alabama to the gulf, and the true route for the hard coals of Alabama and Tennessee for export. Cheap transporta- tion to and from the Birmingham district is the Zone want most needful" just now for quick success. I will give no probable or approximate costs for construction pur- poses, except I estimate the costs for the necessary surveys to be $75,000. As I my self am too obscure in the public ranks recommending enterprises for the benefit of this district, I respectfully request, if you deem it necessary. to refer my state ments to the Hon. J. A VanHoose. of this city. or to whosoever you may see proper to elect have them published, as I wish now only to bring this matter to public at- tention

PRATTVILLE REBUILDING
The Burnt District Will Soon be Gov
 cred With Buildings

Prattvnlle, April 3.-(Special)-The work of rebuilding the town where 1t was so badly burned on the 18th of March has been going at a rapid rate for the past ten days, and if the good work keeps up at the same rate the new town will be a great improvement.
 Since the town council passed the ordi- nance establishing a fire limit property in the burnt district is worth more than it is in other portions of the town. Lots in this part of the town are worth from $i5 to $50 per front foot. There are contracts for several of the buildings to go up and more are to follow soon.
 Politics in this county have been very quiet since the action of the state commit tee on the affairs of this county. This is safely Morgan county just now and it is not thought that he will be defeated by any turn affairs may assume later on. The governor has many friends here, but Senator Morgan has the plain people, with him.
 Politics are more harmonious than they have been several months. The men who were against the decision of the state committee have fallen in line and say they will abide by the spirit and the letter of the rulings of the state committed

MR. VANHOOSE INTERESTED
Congressman Underwood Approves the Plan. But Does Not Think the Time Opportune to Ask Ap-
 proprlation for Survey.

A movement has been launched looking to the emptying of portion of the waters of the Tennessee river into the Warrior canal, which it is proposed to build from somewhere in the vicinity of North Bir- mingham to the Warrior river. With this end in view Former Mayor J. A. Van Hoose some time ago had c. D. Fitzhugh, the well known civil engineer, to prepare a blue print of the proposed route for the canal connecting the Ten nessee river and the Warrior canal This proposed connecting canal, as will be seen by reference to the accompanying map, will tap the Tennessee river at Guntersville, and following a southerly course, empty into Valley creek near North Birmingham.
 MT. Fitzhugh pronounces this proposed canal as entirely feasible, and says the en-

Ponce, P R., April S.-The bodies of the five men who were garroted yesterday were buried in the Potters field. Subse- ouently the execution platform was broken up by a crowd of relic-hunters, who car ried away the fragments as momentoes It seems that a few photographs of the execution were secured.
 The executioners and the garrotes were returned today to San Juan.

 American Troops Had to Take
 Refugs in a Church. LIEUT.. GORDON IS WOUNDED Insurgents Attacked Calbayon in the Night-They Killed Sentry and and Swarmed Through Town,
 Searched Gilmore's House
LIEUT.. GORDON IS WOUNDED

Manila, Sunday, April S.-Reports of en- the insurgents continue to arrive from many points. On Friday Captain Sturgis,
 while reconnoitering, struck an insurgent outpost on the Nevaliches road, five miles distant from Manila, killing two and cap turing ten. All were in full uniform. Un- fortunately Captain Sturgis' force was not large enough to pursue the main body A detachment of the Forty-second infan- try while scouting in Laguna province was pursued by the insurgents and obliged to take refuge in church at Paeto, where
 the Americans repelled the enemy until endorsements arrived.
 Lieutenant Gordon, with a company of the Sixteenth infantry. while scouting near Aparri, Cayagan province, came
 upon 25O insurgents. Lieutenant Gordon was wounded
 sergeant and a corporal of Company l. Eighteenth infantry, were killed in a se-
 we're fight in Cadiz province, island of
 Panay.
 The insurgents made night attack upon
 Ca1bayon, Island of Samar. They killed
 the sentry, swarmed into the town and
 searched the house of Major Gilmore,
 F'orty-third infantry, who was absent.
 They killed his cook. Ultimately the
 Americans drove them out of the town,
 killing four and capturing several. General Young, commanding in North Luzon, has made several requests for | endorsements, reporting that his force
 is inadequate, that the men are exhausted | by the necessity of constant vigilance
 that he is unable to garrison the towns ir
 his jurisdiction; that the insurgents are re- l turning to the district and killing the Amigos, and that it is necessary for him tc | infiict punishment in several sections be. | fore the rainy season begins.
 General James Bell, who is commandins in southern Luzon, has made similar re- | ports. He says his forces are inadequate and that he merely holds a few towns without controlling the territory
 The president of the town of SamaI,
 province of Bataar, Luzon, and another
 prominent native have been assassinated
 because they were known to be friendly
 to the Americans.
 The president of another town has ! joined the insurgents because they had threatened to kill him if he did not
