very largely upon This will depend the
site and the height of the dam.
Samuel II Baynard. member Of the
committee. in speaking of the matter to-
day seemed of the opinion that the pro-
posed nineteen feet dam would not be- as
good thing as some people seem Ia
think Had there been such dam in
position when the frcshct of Tuesday
night occurred. there is no doubt that
the surrounding land would have been
inundated. and The Wilmington and
Brandywne Cemetery badly damaged.
The next meeting of the commission
will be held when Mr.. Gawthrop hai
sufficiently recovered to attend it.

London. Jan. pa dispatch from
The Hague says: "News from South

here that the power of the Beers over
Cane Colony is increasing daily, that
the rebellion IS constantly spreading
and that the colonists are joining the
Beers in steadily increasing numbers.
The executions of Commandant Lot

1902. have had the result of deciding
the loyalists to join the Beers, whose

The same private advices assert
that the British suffered a dozen de-

1901, of which no mention is made in

EilipinO Music.

The Filipinos have no conception OF
sacred music as distinguished from sec
ular airs. All tunes are alike to them
so far as that is concerned.
Captain Francis Pierpont Siviter, of
the Forty-first Volunteer Infantry, was
stationed at the town of Mexico, prov
ince of LuZon, where he was In charge
of about 10000 square miles of terri
tory. He says that when he went to
Mexico the band that provided the Iuu-
sic for the Catholic Church was in the
habit of playing "Aguinaldo's March"
at the most solemn portion of the
church service. One day the captains
interpreter said to the leader of the
band, you'd better stop playing that
insurrecto march, or el captain will put
you In the calaboose."
The musician inquired what sort of
music would suit the captain, and the
interpreter supplied him with the mu-
sic of the ''Star-Spangled Banner"
Ever since then the strains of "Oh. Say.
Can You See" rise daily in the church
service.-Harper's Weekly.
