GRASS CURE" FOR FlLIPIN0S.
Rebels Lined Up as II for Execution and
Tipped Up.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. april 28.-The grass
cure was the early method of converting
rebelIious Filipinos, according to Lieu
tenant Colonel RodInan, OF the Twentieth
Infantry. who told about it at a Marquette
Club dinner last night.
1T was simple, yet effective, he said,
IN explanation. We had to have some
means of forcing the natives to confess
sion I never heard of the water cure
until I came home Whenever natives
who we're rounded up refused to diyulge
information they were formed in line and
told that they must die. Then they had
to draw lots and the native who got the
black bali WAS taken out IN the tail grass
and told to prepare for death. The sol
diers we're drawn up in regular squad,
with their guns pointing at the victim,
and al his feet in the tall grass there was
q soldier who lay fat on his face SO that
he was not seen
The order 10 fire was given The SOL
diers shot over the head of the native,
and at the same instant the hidden SOL
der pulled at his legs and down he tum-
bled. II impressed the natives. for they
thought that the man was dead.
After three or four sacrifices had been
made in this manner the natives generally
fell on their knees and told all they
knew

HABASH'S TERMINAL
PLAN TO Be REALITY
VIII Go to Newport News if
Not to Baltimore.
GOULD DETERMINED ON IDEA
If Wabash System Cannot Purchase the
Western Railway Of Maryland, It VIII
Build an Independent Line to the Viz
ginia Port-Win Take Two Years.

CHICAGO. April 2S.-GeoTge Gouid'g
long cherished plan for a Maryland or
West Virginia terminus for the Wabash
Railway system is to be successful, and
if the Wabash does not get control of the
Western Maryland Railway, owned By the
city of Baltimore, It will build line from
Newport News. Va, to connect with the
West Virginia Central
This information was given out last
night by Ricahrd C. Kerens, of St. Louis,
who has large holdings of the West Vir-
ginia Central stock, and is a director in
that company.
The new Wabash line from Cleveland,
Ohio, IL Baltimore or Newport News. Mr..
Kerens said, will be about 500 miles long.
and will be the shortest route from Lake
Erie, or any OF the lakes, to any Southern
point on the sea.
Whatever connections the Wabash gets
through Maryland and West Virginia 1t
will have some gaps to fill in by entirely
new roads, and the line cannot be in com
plete operation inside Of two years.
II the Wabash gets control OF the West
ern Maryland Railroad, which is desired
mainly, it is thought, for the advantage
of the terminus in Baltimore. it viii prob
ably be known by tonight from the action
of the city council Of the city Of Balti-
more.
In their fight to get control Of or buy
the Western Maryland the Goulds are be-
ing opposed by the Pennsylvania. the
Baltimore and Ohio, and the Philadelphia
and Reading Railway Companies, who.
Mr.. Kerens said, are willing to buy the
road to prevent the Wabash from getting
a Maryland terminus
The Western Maryland is held for &c.,
600 600, and as the Pennsylvania Company
has bid this amount, overriding the
Goulds 50 ,0Oo, goo. Mr. Kerens thinks there
is much likelihood of one of the opposing
companies getting control of the line and
the Wabash striking the Southern coast
with its new line az Newport News
The route OF the new Wabash line viii
be from Cleveland, the eastern division
of its Cleveland division, to GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, to connect with the West Virginia
and Pittsburg Railway. and thence by way
of the West Virginia General to Cumber-
land, Nd.
If the Wabash buys the Western Mary
land line it will then go direct into Bald-
more from Cumberland.
II enc of the competing companies get
control of the Western Maryland, Mr..
Kerens said, the Wabash would immedi-
ately make plans 10 build a short line
from the terminus Of the West Virginia
Central TO Newport News
The new Wabash line will be mainly q
timber and coal road, and passenger bust
ness will not receive much attention.

CHICAGO THE WINDIEST CITY.

CHICAGO. april 2s.-The annual report
Of the Meteorological Bureau shows that
Chicago continues to lead all the other

wind in 1901
That Chicago can blow 1888 miles Of
wind IN a single year without showing the
slightest strain and without using up the
reserve. proves once more the wonderful
strides the city is making In every direc-
ton. IN all probability the country does
not realize the fun meaning OF the fact
