RAPID TRANSIT IN GERMANY.
Speed of 125 Miles an Hour May H.
Attained.


Experiments with fast flying electric
trains between Berlin and Hamburg, Ger
many, have demonstrated that at least a
speed of 125 miles an hour can be attained
without difficulty. Consul General Guen-
Their at Frankfort. in report to the State
Department on this subject, states that
the high rate of speed has placed surface
crossings out of the question, and inter-
secting railroads, streets, passages or ca
nails must be crossed either overhead or
underneath by bridges or tunnels. The
rapidity with which the trains are to follow
each other-at intervals of six minutes
makes it imperative that the tracks be
kept clear at all times. For this reason
the three track system must be adopted,
and both public and employees denied en-
trance. The outcome of the experiments
is to be line 1856 miles in length, from a
point adjoining the city of Berlin to sta
ton just outside Of Hamburg It's estf-
mated cost Is $50. 900 600

WIFE AND MOTHER VISIT HIM.

.Aguina1do Receives Them by Per-
mission Of the Authorities.
MANILA, March S0.-The wife and
mother Of Aguinaldo. who have been LIVING
at Binacayan, near Old Cavite, have beer
granted permission to visit him.
The Spaniard Lorenzo Prieto, who was
charged with assisting the insurgents by
furnishing Information to the insurgent
general, Cables, in exchange for trading
privileges, was tried by military commits
sion, found guilty and sentenced to death.
General Macarthur commuted the sentence
to Imprisonment for ten years.
Prieto was the agent of the firm of Men
dezona & Co. and to certain extent was
associated with D. A. Carman. the Amerf-
can contractor, also charged with aiding
the Filipino insurgents.
After being convinced Of Aguinaldo's cap
ture, General Geronimo, the insurgent lead
er in the province of Morong LuZon, has
surrendered. with six officers. forty-six
men and fifty rifles. to Col. ]. Milton
Thompson of the 42d Regiment. at San
Mateo.
The Saturday Review Of London says to-
day: 1.-THE news of the capture of Agui-
naldo may be welcome, as meaning the end
Of the war which is still wasting life and
running prosperity in the Philippines: but
for Aguinaldo himself. whose capture was
effected by a gross act of treachery, there

capture of Manila and in the previous ma
neuvers. He proved faithful ally until,
partly owing to a change Of policy in
washington and partly to want of tact
among the American generals. war sud
denly broke out between the allies"
Senior Sixto Lopez. who is now in Boston,
has sent the two following cablegrams to
Aguinaldo and Mabini: -
Aguinaldo, care Gen. Macarthur Manila:
Request American authorities to send you
with Mabini to America SIXTO LOPEZ.
Mabini, care Military Governor, Guam:
Aguinaldo captured. have cabled him to
request American authorities to send you
with him to America. 1 wish to apply to
authorities in Guam. SIXTO LOPEZ.
In reference to the above, Senior Lopez
has issued the following statement:
believe 1t Is the wish of the American
people to know the truth about many things
connected with this war, as well as to OBJ
tain an authoritative statement Of the atti-
tude OF the Filipinos toward American SOW
ereignty. do not know of two men better
fitted to give such information than Aguin-
aldo and Mabini.
Almost all the statements that have
hitherto been made are from American
sources. It would, therefore. only be fair
that two representative Filipinos should be
allowed to give their opinions about the
Americans and to speak on behalf Of their
fe1low-countrymen.
The bringing Of Aguinaldo and Mabini to
America can do no injury to truth and
Justice. and I assume that both desire to

NOT A SINGLE BID.
Steamboat That Cost $3.50. 900 Was Of
fered for 100000.

The army transport Terry was recently
condemned and offered for sale at an upset
price of $4,000. Bids were advertised for
and were to have been opened yesterday,
but there was not single bid. 1t Is, there
fore. likely that the government will re-
duce the upset price to $4,000 and make
another effort to dispose Of the vessel at
that figure. The Terry was originally pur-
chased by the government for $4,000 at
the outbreak of the Spanish war. She is a
