TWENTY THOUSAND TONS.

Hills New Ships VIII BE the Largest Ever
"a in the Carrying Trade. : z
TACOMA, Wash, April 10.-Presid
Hill Of the Great N Northern while here,
told a new story about his proposed
Transpaciic steamships. He says:
There is no room for unnecessary
expenditure of money, as we have to
meet European competition. In place
Of 10000 ton ships, planned IS months
ago,we have found it necessary to order
ships that will carry 10000 tons, or Of a
measurement capacity of over $4,000
tons. The Campania and Lucania have
$4,000 tons each, and the only two
larger ships are Kaiser Wilhelm Der
Crosse and Oceanic. Each of ours to
be in operation a year from this fall,
will be equal to the Campania and Lu-
cania together The square feetof deck
room in, each of our ships, to be devoted
to the carrying of freight, will amount
to over five acres. E
"We must have dispatch, and to aid
us we shall provide appliances that will
simplify to an enormous degree the
trouble of loading freight, and, we have
conveyors that, instead of sending coal
to the bottom of ships, will leave it
near the top, and let it distribute itself
by gravity. Another Improvement is
that of mechanical appliances to feed
the furnaces automatically. - r."

THE DEWEY CELEBRATION.

Chicago Committee Has Final Interview
S., as to Dewey's Wishes.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-The Chicago
reception committee, con sisting of w. B.
Conkey and J. NJ, Glenn, have had a
final interview with Admiral Dewey.
No mention was made of politics, the
admiral's only allusion to the matter
being that since he had accepted the in
vitatien to visit Chicago, last October,
conditions had SO changed that he was
accepting no further Invitations. He
assured the committee that he was glad
to accept the hospitality of Chicago. He
told the committee he had received invi-
tations from various organizations there
to become their guest, but he had not
accepted them He had placed himself
solely IN the hands of the City Of Chi
cago. He requested that there be no
separate entertainments for himself and
Mrs. Dewey. He wished matters SO
arranged that she could attend all func-
mons at which he would be present
The admiral, who received the commit
tee in most cordial manner, was as
sured that his wishes in this respect
wonld be carried out. and also was in
formed that arrangements had been
made to have his son, who is now q res
nent of Chicago. part cipate in the va.

Address at Peoples Church by President
Rogers of Northwestern University.
ST. PAUL, April 10. President Henry
Wade Rogers of the Northwestern uni
s. ersity delivered an address at the Peo-
ple's church on the subject Of "Good
Citizenship, in the course of which he
advocated the passage of a law prohib-
iting the bequest Of all property not
listed upon the tax books Of the munich
pal assessors. -, .-
AS an evidence that such law is
needed, DR.. Rogers referred to the fact
that the estate of the late Jay Gould,
amounting to about $50, ,00O, 900, was ap-
praised at only $3.50, 900 the year before
his death. In Chicago, DR.. Rogers
claimed, the very wealthy pay taxes on
only 10 per cent Of their property, while
men in poorer Circumstances are taxed
from one-third to one-half Of their en-
tire holdings. ..%g~ ~ ~

WAS MOST SERIOUS.

Breaking of the Large Dam at Austin,
Tex, Causes Very Great Damage.
AUSTIN, Tex, April I0.-Cwing to the
breaking Of the large dam at this place
q disaster occurred not unlike the
Johnstown flood, some years ago. A
reservoir of water 80 miles long, half a
mile. wide and 60 feet deep was turned
loose on the already flooded valley be-
low, and more than hundred houses
were destroyed and scores of lives
lost. lG.a sSG + ya.t&
The dam was used to furnish light
and water for the city, and the situation
is most serious. The wrecking Of the
plant means that it will take several
weeks to secure temporary water and
light system, if it can be made possible
even then. In the meanwhile the city
will be in a bad sanitary condition. All
the hotels, private residences, stores and
the like are without water, and there is
no fire protection.
Reports from the neighboring coun-
try are to the effect that everything is
under water. In Williamson county,
5Hrth of here, railroad bridges and
s--ackage have been laid waste, and all
trains hava stopped running. Hundreds
of head Of cattle have been drowned
and miles of fencing
s. Torn Down and Washed Away.
In Bastrop county and in the south por-
ton Of this county similar conditions
prevail, everything being. under water,
and much loss of property is reported.
The country tributary to the Colorado
river all the way down its course is be-
ing inundated, and while it is believed
the worst is over the loss as estimated
will exceed some $4,000, 900, counting
Austin as the largest loser.
. 4 mass meeting of citizens has been
called in order that some steps may be
taken to relieve the situation.
There were no trains operated on the
International and Great Northern, as
much of it's track and several bridges
were washed away during thenight.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail
road is also a heavy sufferer from a like
cause. Reports from several sections Of
the Central and Southern Texas are to
the effect that a large acreage is under
water, and much damage has been suf-
fered in property and live stock.

NOW IN MANILA
Aguinaldo Said to Be in Conceal
ment in the p Philippine
Capital.
Easier to Remain in in Hiding
There Than Out in the
s Provinces.
Reward Not Offered, Though It
Would Probably Cause
Betrayal.

New YORK, April 1O.-A special to
The Tribune from W ashington says:
& In the Mail from Manila, which has
just arrived at the war department.,
there were at least two communica-
tions expressing conviction that Aguin-
aldo is hiding in that city. One Of these
letters is from United States secret
service officer, who has found conclu-
sive evidence that the Tagal leader. has
been in Manila since the rebel armies in
Luzon We're dispersed and who was sat-
isfied as he had not escaped by water,
he was probably still concealed in the
native part Of the town. s,2s.$s
The other letter was from an army Of
ficer attached to headquarters, who
voiced the opinion Of all high military
authorities that Aguinaldo was GER
tainly not in any of the outlying dis
tricts of the island for American troops
had too thoroughly overrun the country
for the rebel. chieftain to escape detec-
tion and especially in Panay province
there We're enough enemies of the lead
er to have betrayed him if he was there.
Military officers recently returned
from the Philippines said that Aguin-
aldo would naturally seek refuge in the
Tagal quarters in Manila, where he
would find greater safety than in the
outlying provinces, especially those
which the American troops have thor
oughly overrun, and where there are
many natives who sympathize with
American rule. .:.
General Otis has been of the opinion
that Aguinaido has not been out of Ma
Mia since the first Of the year. He has
offered no reward for his apprehension,
though secret service men are of the
opinion that the natives would soon be-
tray him in the event of reward.
It is the ambition of the army
to capture him alive. He has sew
eral times been reported captured.
Last fall General Otis was notified of
sis capture in Northern Luzon, and had
s.Tanged to send him to the United
States. General Otis is convinced of
the desifability of sending him away,
and does not wish to have him on his
hands. Some tribes would be in rebel
lion while he was around, though others
would arise if he were not given the
fullest liberty go T. %&zt.ss 5.g5&

w LONDON, April 10. The amazing ac-$
tivity Of the Beers, southeast and south
west of Bloemfontein continues, the
Boer commands seemingly coming and
going through as wide a region as they
please, but taking good care not to
throw themselves against strong bodies
of the British. The retirement OF the
Irish Rifles from Rockville to Aliwal
leaves General Brabant without COM
munication with the other British
forces. He has 1900 or 5000 colonials
holdingea fine defensive country, but
he is apparently invested, SO far as Lon g 1
don knows. Geographic and railroad
communication with Bloemfontein are
kept up as usual, but nothing comes
through for public consnmp ption. Lord
Roberts last message was dated April
6, and the last unofficial message bore
date Of April 7. The absence Of news
as usual disheartens the people, and
produces an altogether discouraging eff
feet. The last unofficial message notes
that good spirits at Bloemfontein are
continuing and tells Of animals and two
fresh cavalry regiments. Lord Roberts
has now 15, 900 mounted men altogether.
In the Orange Free State the situation
