was the fight of a meteor which came
so close to earth that the blazing aero
lite left trail many hundreds of feet
in length behind its velocity and the
increasing density of the atmosphere as
1t neared the earth produced such con-
suming heat that,when scarcely a mile
above the earth it exploded leaving a
cloud of smoke which floated over the
city. No portions of the aerolte were

the city and falling toward the sea.
When apparently lower than ordinary
clouds it exploded leaving a great cloud
of smoke, which remained visible for
several minutes. 1t was about one
minute from the time that the smoke

Secretary Hay and Bunau-Varilla al

detail the necessary steps toward the
conclusion of new treaty, which,
while following to some extent the
Hay-Herran treaty, in many ways will
be simpler.
As regards the financial conditions
the Washington government does not
desire any change, but the provisions
of the new treaty regarding sovereign
ty over the canal strip and the extent
of United States control will be less
complicated and more positive in state
ment than is true of the Hay-Herran
