HIGHEST WATERFALL.
Mexican Cascade Has a Sheer Drop
of 978 Feet.

William P, Durham, prominent
Denver mining man, who, with his
associates, Eben Smith and R. H. Reid,
is negotiating for large properties in
Mexico, has returned from visit to
the district. In addition to tale OF
the vast mineral wealth of the Mexico
district, Mr.. Durham also has a story
Of a wonderful waterfall, which prob
badly enjoys the distinction Of being
the highest waterfall in the world. The
fall is known by the Indian name OF
Basaseachic, and is located 1870 miles
west of the city of Chihuahua, near the
summit of the Sierra Madre noun
tains. The elevation of the mountain
is $500 feet above sea level The cas-
cade falls 97S feet.
ut is one of the most wonderful
sights have ever seem" said Mr.. Dun
ham. I'VE went to the top of the
falls. We could see the mass of water
falling down, but the distance was so
great that it turned to spray before it
reached the bottom, and though we
could see it falling, not sound could
be heard. At the time | was there a
volume Of water 10 feet across and
about 2 feet deep was flowing over the
fall. This great work of nature is
located 70 miles away from any beaten
trail, and It is probable that few of the
Engllsh-speaking race have ever seen
it. A Mexican told me Of 1t and con-

FIGHTING NEAR MANILA.
Ladrones in Small Numbers Under
the Katipunan Flag.

hIC ENahlHalN''
Manila.-A force of ladrones under
General San Miguel reappeared in
Rial rovince Sunday They avoided
an engagement with the main force in
the south, but captured three small
detachments of constabulary. The
enemy surrounded the towns Of Gain
ia and Taytay, eleven miles east OF
Manila, Saturday. and captured thirty
scouts and men of the constabulary,
whom they set free.
Inspector McIlwaine, at the head OF
ten constabulary, was surprised and
captured near Montalban, sixteen miles
northeast of Manila. The ladrones
promised to release them if the con-
stabulary would surrender their arms.
While they were comforting on this
point, McIlwaine made a dash for
liberty and he and all the constabulary
effected their escape.
When the news of the temperance
of General San Miguels force reach
ed Manila, reinforcements of scouts
and constabulary were hurried into
Rial province. General Allen and
Colonel Scott went to Antipolo and as
sumed command of the forces there.
They met with small attachments OF
the enemy and few skirmishes took
place. They were, however, unable to
locate the main body Of ladrones.
General Allen and Colonel Scott are
continuing the pursuit and hope to
overtake the released prisoners.
1t is said that General San Miguel's
force consists of 80 men, armed and
uniformed. The zone Of ladrone activ-
ity extends from Caloocan, four miles
north of Manila, eastward to the noun
tains Of Rial and skirting the north
ern limits of Manila.
The Manila police co-operated in the
effort to corner the enemy. Secre-
tary Winthrop, in the absence Of Gov
ernor Taft, requested General Davis 10
furnish additional scouts, and General
Davis has ordered another battalion Of
scouts to report to General Allen. 1t
is expected that additional troops will
be ordered out.
General San Miguel's force is small,
and the government is determined to
speedily suppress 1t. San Miguel
claims the insurgent leadership and
fights under the Katipunan flag.

STRANGE FORM OF DEATH.
Dr.. Sven Hedin's Weird Experience In
| Thibet.

In an interview describing his ad.
ventures during three years in inner
most Asia DR.. Sven Hedin, the famous
Swedish explorer, who has arrived in
England to lecture, gave some remark.
able details Of terrible journey in
the high attitudes.
"The hardest part of the expedition"
he declared, was my experience In
Thibet. During my second journey
from Clarklik to Ladakh, which lasted
eight months, l lost nearly the whole
of my caravan, owing to the enormous
attitudes at which we were travelling.
Some vague idea of this may be gath
cred when l tell you that even in the
valleys we were higher than the sum-
NIT of Mont Blanc. The mere act of
breathing was most difficult, and on
this one trip four of my companions
died simply for this reason-they
could not breathe. When we came to
our evening camping ground two of
these devoted followers were found
stark dead on their camels. The others
died gradually from their feet upward,
retaining their senses to the end, the
brain being the last to be attacked.
The experience was weird and awful,
and certainly tho Wnrct I hoUa aUar

Even to inhibition ones coat meant
acute pain and tension to an over
wrought heart which literally was at
the point of breaking. The poor ami
mails, too, suffered much. Out of
forty-five horses l lost forty-four, and
thirty out of thirty-nine camels left
their bones in these terrible alti-
tudes."
DR.. Sven Hedin says he considers it
impossible for any European to enter
Lhassa. He made two attempts and
got within one days march of the
mysterious city, but on each occasion
was captured by an armed force and
forbidden, on pain of death, to advance
any further. On the site of the
ancient lake of Lob Nor the explorer
found ruined temples and houses with
high towers. There were remains OF
wide streets, and ruins which showed
that some of the temples must have
been very fine structures. Among the
ruins were a number of manuscripts
written in ordinary Chinese 1000 years
old,-London Mail.

OBJECTS TO LODGE AND TURNER.

London.-A dispatch to the London
Times from Ottawa declares that
Canada has formally protested to the
imperial government against the ap-
pointment of Senator Lodge and Sem
ator Turner on the Alaska commits
sion. The foreign office, which has
received no official protest, is, how
ever, unofficially aware of the fact
that the Canadians are dissatisfied
with the appointment of Lodge and
Turner, but the officials here do not
see how they can take any action in
the matter.
The Spectator, discussing the Amer
lean appointees, says: Secretary
Root is unquestionably one of the
ablest men alive today in the
Anglo-Saxon world of politics.
Senator Lodge is also a man of great
weight and influence and is a worthy
representative of the best trained ira
ditiOns of the senate, a deliberative
body which, for the direct powers it
exercises, has no fellow in the world"
Continuing, the Spectator expresses
the hope that the British representa-.
tives will not only be men of equal in
tellectual powers, but also of equal
standing before the nation.
