The advance in price notified above

remarkable developments on prop

the attendant extraordinary ad-

extensive holdings of the company
in San Diego county, we refer by

Sunset, McKittrick and Midway,
Kern County, Cal. The values of
lands in that oil district, where the
excitement is now greater than any
where else in California, are daily
advancing and are within the
knowledge of every business man in
the vicinity The excitement there
is intense, Railway extensions are
being rushed, pipe lines hastily con-
structed, oil refineries built and
everything foreshadows an immense
output of high grade oil in this dis
trict and an advance in the value Of
lands to many thousands of dollars
per acre.
The Broadway Bank and Trust
company will also certify to the high
character and ability of the COM

advance very rapidly in price. 1t

OTIS SAYS AGUlNALDo'S
 POWER HAS BEEN WANING

Chicago. March 2s = Maj Gen. E. S. Otis, formerly in command of the army, Department of the Philippines, expressed satisfaction over Aguinaldo's capture. He said
 ''The influence of Aguinaldo has been waning for some time, therefore the cap ture Is not as great as might be sup posed. He has been in hiding for so long a time that large number of his follow CTS had drifted away from him. In fact, affairs in the islands are as quiet now as they have been for twenty-five years under Spain. There are only two Fill pinos of any importance now left who still maintain their hostility to the United States These are General Cailes and General Luchan. The former is now hid ing in the mountains of the east coast of Luzon; the latter is in central Luzon with a small band.
 "Aguinaldo was once looked upon by the people as a little God, but the senti- ment has been lost almost completely. I believe that Aguinaldo is honest but he has been actuated by individual ambi- . .fiOn."

 SECOND LECTURE Continues His Treatise of the
 Venezuelan Question GREAT BRITAIN'S POSITION He Concludes by Hoping That There are Few Citizens Who Do Not
 Acknowledge Good Coming
 From the Episode.

Princeton, N. J.. March 2S.-Ex-Presi- dent Cleveland delivered the second of his lectures on the Venezuelan boundary dis pute before the students in Alexandria Hall tonight.
 MT Cleveland reminded his hearers that 1t was in 1876 that Venezuela made its first appeal to the United States in regard to the boundary controversy between this South American republic and Great Brit ain. Five years afterward the Venezuelan minister in Washington appealed very strongly to MT. Evarts, and was met with words of encouragement. In 1881 MT. Blaine became interested in the matter. In 1884 MT. Freylinghuysen communicated with MT. Lowell on the subject, and later Secretary Bayard and Minister Phelps took the matter up and pressed it for ward. In 1887 our minister to Great Brit ain formally rendered to the English gov ernment "the good offices" of the United States to promote an amicable settle ment of the pending controversy, offer ing our arbitration if acceptable to both parties. This tender was refused by Lord Salisbury.
 The lecturer narrated some of the incl dents having to do with the collection of damages by Great Britain from Venezu~ ella in connection with the seizure of two English vessels and their crews, in the disputed region, for alleged violation of the laws of Venezuela within her juris- dction. In this case the English authori- ties refused certain friendly overtures in the interest of an amicable settlement on the part of the American minister to Venezuela.
