GUEVARRA SURRENDERS.
Lukban's Influence Brings the War to an End
in the Island of Samar

Manila, March 20.-General Lux
bans efforts in influencing Gueyarra,
who recently issued proclamation de-
claring himself the successor of General
LUX ban in the island of Samar, to sur
render, have been successful. Both
General Smith, in command of the
United States forces in Samar, and
Guevarra have agreed to an armistice
to facilitate the collection of Guevarra' s
men with their rifles, when the formal
surrender will be made. The arms
will be paid in at the fort. General
Smith cables that Guevarra has 400
rifles, and that Guevarra guarantees
the absolute peacefulness of his men.
General Chaffee is greatly pleased
with what he considers as closing the
native insurrection. The resistance in
Batangas and Laguna provinces is prac-
tically over. There are daily surrend-
ers there of men and guns. The in
surgents have been completely starved
into submission by General Bells ag-
gressive tactics in preventing any ex-
terror assistance from reaching them.
Some surprise is expressed at the num-
Der of rifles to be turned in by the men
under Guevarra, as it was thought
there were but 200 in Samar.

BIG STUDENTS RIOT.
10000 People Join Them In St Petersburg
Police and Military Busy.

St. Petersburg, March ia stu
dents riot here, in which over 10000
people engaged, kept large force of
police and cavalry busy throughout the
day. Probably 100 arrests were made,
but-the repressive measures were not so
strict as on the corresponding date of
1901. While many persons were in
jured, no fatalities were reported.
The students placarded the city last
night, announcing that they intended
to hold grievance meeting, and the
authorities, taking the hint, made ex-
tensive preparations. The whole police
was called out, and the military was
held ready for mobilization, cavalry
patrols supplementing the mounted po-
lice. Additional squadrons of cavalry,
light batteries of artillery and detach-
ments of infantry were packed in the
side streets. The crowds increased in
the main thoroughfares until noon,
when the cavalry officer in command of
squad in front of the Hotel
d Europe begged the crowd there to
disperse and go home. The demon
strators refused, and the mounted troops
began slowly clearing the streets. At
1890 P. M, the students attempted to
organize a procession in front of the
hotel mentioned, singing revolutionary
songs and shouting Gree Russia, -
"Down with the autocracy." The police
and cavalry then charged, but used only
their Cossack whips and the fats of
their sabers. Many persons were hurt,
but only few were seriously injured.
The fighting continued during the re-
mainder of the afternoon, breaking out
in fresh places continuously. One of
the most severe fights of the day was
concluded only few minutes before
the czarina, in an open sleigh, passed
the spot where it occurred. Carriages
of the nobility and members of the i'm
perial household were several times
mixed up in the melees. The author
tiles made efforts to prevent bloodshed,
and in this they we're remarkably sue
cessful, considering the magnitude OF
the demonstration.

BOSTON CELEBRATES.
To Commemorate Evacuation Of the City by
British Troops.

I o commemorate Evacuation OF the City by
British Troops.
Boston, March 19.-The 126th ami
versary of the evacuation of Boston by
the British was celebrated in South
Boston by the unveiling of monument
erected on the breastworks of the Colo
nial army on Dorchester heights. This
monument was erected by the state of
Massachusetts,, as memorial to the
valor of the New England militia and
the military genius of Washington. A
military parade preceded the ceremony,
and following it Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge delivered an eloquent historical
oration.
Rear Admiral Schley rode in the pro-
cession with Mayor Collins. The mon
ument, which is of white granite, bears
the following inscription, written by
President Eliot, of Harvard:
sOn these heights, during the night
of March 4, 1776, the American troops
besieging Boston, built two redoubts,
which made the harbor and town un-
tenable by the British feet and garri-
son. On March II the British fleet,
carrying 10000 effective men and 1000
refugees, dropped down to Nantucket
Roads, and thenceforth Boston was free.
A strong British force had been ex-
PEELED from one of the United Ameri-
can colonies"

Lyddite a Boomerang.

London, March 1S.-The extraordin-
ary effect of lyddite has been revealed
by the statement that during the recent
experiments with the hulk of the old
battIeship Belle Isle, shells containing
that explosive refracted fragments upon
the attacking vessel 400 yards distant.
Other fragments dropped close to gun
boat 1900 yards abeam of the line OF
fire. The deduction drawn is that
when lyddite is used there is danger
for friendly vessel at least 1000
yards away. The Outlook compares
lyddite with boomerang and points
out that to be of any service it must be
dropped right On board hostile vessel,
as, "if the projectile does not hit the
right place, it will fly back and slay
the slayer"

skYscRAPERs IN DANGER.
Their Steel Framework. Says . Chicago Man.
b Rapidly Cerodins.

b Rapidly CerrodinS.
Chicago, March lS.-s'The steel
framework in many of the big build
ings in the business district of Chicago
is corroding, making them very danger
Gus. It is only question of q few
years when those buildings will fall to
the ground"
This statement was made by General
William S.Smith, at the S5th annual
dinner of the Chicago real estate board.
He added "that the steel framework of
some of the skyscrapers is in the condi-
tion stated is nothing short of public
outrage"
The speaker explained that his state
ments were based on personal observa-
tions and Investigations.
"The steel framework imbedded in
concrete will last 1000 years." he said,
"but the steel framework in many of
the big buildings is left free to the ac-
tion of the air and gases which circu-
late through the tile and a space about
the steel. The owners of these struc-
lures have the steel painted with oil.
This Gil will withstand the corroding
process about three years. Then begins
the corroding of the steel and within
a few years your skyscraper will fall"
The speaker said that the elevated
road structures would not Withstand
the corrosion. He asserted that within
10 years they would be dangerous and
within 20 years out of service. The
corrosion of one-fifth of the thickness of
the steel framework of the structure,
he said, would render them incapable
of bearing their own weight.

SHIP SUBSIDY
SENATE FINALLY DiSPOSES OF
THE MEASURE
The Final Vote was AZ to 81 in Favor of the
Measure = An Amendment Limiting the
Expenditures to 100000 Year was
Lost-Foreisn Built Ships Shall Not Par.
tlcipate in the Benefits.

Washington, March 19.-After pro-
longed debate, the senate has passed
the ship subsidy bill, the final vote
upon the measure being AZ to 81.
-Four Republicans voted against the
measure and one Democrat for it.
Some amendments to the bill were
adopted, but they were all agreeable to
those in charge of the measure, the
friends of the bill voting down all
other amendments. With the excep-
tion of amendments offered by Allison
and accepted by Frye, limiting the time
OF the operation of contracts made un-
der the provisions of the bill to July 1,
1920, and providing that the amount
OF the expenditure under the mail SUBJ
sidy paragraph shall not at any time
exceed ss,00O,o0O annually, none of
the amendments agreed to materially
affected the bill as it was reported from
the commerce committee.
The vote upon the amendments be-
gan at O'Clock, and such a flood of
them was offered that final vote upon
the bill, as amended, was not reached
until just before o'clock. Amend.
ments offered by Vest, providing for
free ships" and for the application of
the provisions of the antitrust law to
the shipping industry, we're rejected,
as was the amendment proposed by
Patterson, providing that no Chinese
person should be member of the CT ew
OF subsidized vessel. Pettus offered
an amendment providing that the total
expenditure under the bill should not
exceed 5000, 900 10 any year. It was
adopted in committee of the whole,
but later in the senate was rejected by
a decisive vote.
offered by Spooner providing that con-
gress should have power to amend or
repeal the act, without impairing any
contract made under it's authority.
Hanna offered and the senate adopted
three amendments applying directly to
the acquisition by j. P. Morgan and
his associates of the Leyland line of
British ships. They provide that no
foreign built ship shall participate in
the proposed subsidy, that nothing in
the act shall be construed to prevent
American citizens or corporations from
holding or operating foreign ships in
the ocean carrying trade, and that no
foreign built ship of any line thus ac-
quired by American citizens shall be
admitted hereafter to American reg
istry. -.......-

TESTS NOT SATISFACTORY.
Pacific Coast Lumbermsa Do Not Agree With
tiibbs' Report.


liibbs' Report.
Washington, March 19.-Senator
Foster has been notified by the Pacific
Coast Lumber Manufacturers Associa-
ton that the tests of fir conducted ON a
very extensive scale at the Puget Sound
navy yard during the past summer are
not satisfactory. Secretary Victor II.
Beckman states that at meeting of
the association held at Tacoma, Febru-
airy Is, the report of Naval Constructor
Hibbs at the Puget Sound navy yard on
the timber tests, particularly in Doug
las fir, was taken up. The association
directed tie secretary to notify Senator
Foster that the report was not satisfac-
tory and did not do entire justice to fir
Experience, it is stated, has proved
that Mr.. Hibbs' statements with refer
ence to the lasting qualities of fir are
misleading. The association calls at
tention to railroad timbers on the
Northern Pacific railway which have
been in use IA years and show little OF
no signs of rot. Also that it is we'll
known fact that consumers of lumber
purchase fir for porches and outdoor
work at very high price in preference
to yellow pine. which, it is claimed,
rots very quickly.
In order to secure complete and au-
thoritative test, the association urges
Senator Foster to introduce bill ap-
propriating sufficient sum OF money
to conduct the work in thorough man.
ner at some point in the Pacific North
west, where exhaustive tests may be
made under government supervision.
Senator Foster states that while
number of very important timber tests
have been conducted from time to time
by both the war and navy departments,
these reports are contained in volumes
that are not accessible to the general
public. He is in favor of a condensed
report drawn from authorized govern
ment tests and under government su-
pervision which will serve to show not
only the merits of fir, but of American
woods generally, and such reports to be
available for distribution or sale, as is
the case with other government docu-
ments of like nature. As rule, the
consumer is not we'll posted with refer
ence to the lasting qualities of Amer
lean woods, particularly SO with refer
ence to the relative ssrength and dura-
biiity of ono cls--s compared with
another.

cultural exports for the period men
toned show slight increase during

sAaAsTA COMMISSIONED.
Queen Regent of Spain Calls Upon Him to
Form a New Cabinet.

Madrid, March 1S.-The queen regent
has commissioned Senior Sagasta to
form new cabinet. The queen regent
only called upon Senior Sagasta to re-
construct the ministry after she found
it impossible to induce the various Sec
tional leaders to attempt the formation
of a coalition cabinet.
The pope has appealed to her majesty
not to permit the recent decree obliga-
ting religious congregations to comply
with the law of associations to be put
in force. The decree becomes operative
March 81, SO the new cabinet will be
early confronted with a question admit
ted to be extremely difficult to settle.
On account of various threats regard
ing the fermentation of disturbances,
the mininstry of war has directed the
soldiers who have recently completed
their terms of service to remain with
the colors.

REBELS VICTORIOUS.
Chinese Government Troops Badly Defeated
in kwans 81 Province.

Hong Kong, March 20.-General Ma
has been defeated by the Kwang ST
rebels, who have taken possession of
Fang Cheng. They have killed OF cap
tured all the Mandarins and have loot
ed the town.
General Ma attacked the rebel strong
holds, but after an engagement lasting
two days, was forced to retreat. The
rebels then established their head
quarters at Fang Cheng. The rebellion
is spreading rapidly in the provinces of
Kwang 81, Kwang Tung and Yum Nan.
A letter received here from Tien Pal,
so miles from Wang Chou, says all
business is suspended there, owing to
fear of the rebels.
Marshal Su is at Leui Chau, and Gen.
eral Ma is at kao Chau (both in Kwang
Tung .province). Both of these COM
manders are awaiting reinforcements.
They wish to join their forces, but the
rebels are holding all the intervening
passes and prevent a junction OF the
government troops.
Many of the imperial soldiers are
