the members of the board have practically decided

THE TEXAS OIL FIELD.
ITS VAST POSSIBILITIES SHOWN IN A
GEOLOGICAL EXPERTS REPORT

Washington, May 25.-Robert T. Hill. chief
geologist of the United States Geological Survey,
has returned from an extended investigation in
the Texas oil field, and has embodied the results
in a report, which says:
The Importance of this oil field is far greater
than at present can be described or estimated
1t means not only a cheap fuel supply TO the
largest State in area in .he Union. but owing to
its proximity to tideWater, it promises an export
trade such exists nowhere else in the world
Preparations are being made to sink hundreds
Of wells, and very the present output of
100000 barrels a day may be quadrupled. 1t is
entirely within the limit of probability that oil
will be found at many places throughout the
coastal prairie especially in its southern eXten-
sion toward the Rio Grande, and in the north
eastern State of Mexico at Tamaulipas The
outcrop of the tertiary formations in Southwest
Texas. in Wilson, Atascosa, McMullen, Duvall
and other counties, is naturally rich in oil, and
the practical oil men risking their money in
experimenting in that region. AS the oil bear
ing strata extend east of the Mississippi into
Mississippi and Alabama it is not beyond posi-
bility that oil may be found in these States.
II is impossible to state exactly the X
tent of the oil yielding bed which supplies
the Beaumont wells, and this be only de-
termined by drilling experiments.
The area of profitable exploitation of the
Beaumont oil field is confined between the San
Jacinto and the Sabine rivers, east of the
Houston and West Texas Railroad and south of
Oil City, Nagodoches County. This area may
be extended or restricted by future exploitation
It is very probable that other oil fields may be
discovered in the costal plain between the Beau
mont and Tampico fields Here lies vast terri
tory underlain by the oil bearing eocene forrna-
tions which has not been exploited.

ACCUSED MEN ESCAPE TRIAL.
PROSECUTION OF MANILA MERCHANTS
CONSIDERED INEXPEDIENT

MaRila, May 25.-The prosecution against D.
M Carman. Senor Carranza and others ac-
cused of trading with the insurgents. has been
abandoned. The military authorities consider
that although the conviction of number of
Manila merchants would be practically certain
the Investigations continued, their prose-
cution would be inexpedient, the consequent
accomplished.
Provost General Davis, who has reviewed the
testimony in the Carman case. said to the cor
respondent of The Associated Press that, while
Carman could be convicted of trading with the
insurgents, it would be unjust to punish him
when nearly every trader in Manila is guilty
of similar practices.
- Unless Generals Cailles and Malvar surrender
quickly. General Macarthur will concentrate a
strong force of American troops and surround
them. Cailles is vainly hoping for guarantee
from the American authorities that he will not
be tried for the murders and atrocities he is al
legged to have committed. Malvar is boasting
that he will be the last insurgent to surrender.
The attempt of General Hughes to negotiate
the surrender of the insurgent leader Lucban on
the island of Samar is without result.
Battery F. of the 9th Artillery, formerly COM
manded by the late Captain Henry j. Reilly,
