vantage by native and foreign capital ists- The position Of these islands would indicate the probable existence Of petroleum. as Borneo, on the south west, and Formosa and Japan, on the north, contain productive areas that are extensively operated. The best oil ap- pears to be contained in stratum con- sisting of rock, gravel and sand, nearly twenty feet in thickness. lying about four hundred feet below the surface. This rock is in some places too hard to pierce with the native devices, but American drilling tools cut it readily. In other places the so-ealled rock is only soft sandstone. These oil lands are ordinarily unclaimed and belong to the government. When they are owned by some one who holds one of the old Spanish land grants they can usually be bought at low figure.

OIL IN THE PHILIpPTSEs

Perhaps if the whole United States gets as tired of the Philippines as some of it is the Standard oil Company will buy the islands. The government talk now is that petroleum will soon be one of the exports of the islands. The isl- ands of Luzon, Panay Leyte, Gimeras. Guimaras. Negros, Mindanao and Cebu contain petroleum. There are some rich oil wells on the Island of Luzon. and capitalists usually prospect among these before they go to other islands
 On the Island of Panay are deposits of oil located from two hundred to five hundred feet below the surface On the islands of Negros, Cebu and Minda- nao oil strata are worked to good ad-

4 GIG nN1IG PLAN

The New Jersey mosquito is celebrat- ed. It has become too celebrated for it's own safety. Its gigantic size and gi- gantic efficiency have inspired gi- gantic plan for it's annihilation. The State geologist of New Jersey and two of his scientific associates have report led urging the draining and filling of the Newark meadows as the only means of ridding the region of the mosquito pest which is associated with the name of the State. The plan calls for the filling of some 27,000 acres in a tract eighteen miles long by four miles wide. Although it is a State document, the report seems to make no call for an appropriation of State funds. It calls attention of the citizens of Newark and Jersey City to the importance of the undertaking and declares that the agricultural value of the lands to be redeemed and cultivated would ultimately repay the cost. And the beneficent effects would Be felt far beyond the meadows to be filled. There is large summer resort territory near, to which the mosquitoes are a great damage, while the prevalence of mala- ria in the cities to which the report appeals is another reason why the big mosquito should be attacked.
 If this plan progresses it's progress will be watched with deep interest in many places where there are celebrated mosquitoes. For instance, New Haven's east shore

certain reservations regarding Chinese
administrative control over the re-
gion in Manchuria leased to Russia or
covered by the Chinese Eastern rail
road, in order to safeguard existing
Russian interests. When the note was
first dispatched to the powers the au-
thorities here undeniably were dis
posed to view it with suspicion and
therefore its reception by the other
cabinets was awaited with keen in

Russia has not yet given permis-
sion for any military attaches to join
the Russian army in the field Re-
quests have been received from all the
powers, including the United States,
and it is understood that Viceroy Al
exieff, to whom the question was re-
ferred, would prefer that foreign at
taches should not join in the Russian
field operations until March, explain

denness of the outbreak of hostilities,

for their comfortable accommodation,
especially during the severe weather,

Dominican Government Forces Defeat
the Rebels.

New York, Feb 1S-A savage at
tack on the city of Santiago has re
suited in the complete rout of the reb
els by the government forces, says a
Herald dispatch from Puerto Plata
Santo Domingo. Many were killed and
wounded on both sides.
For some time an attack has been
expected. On Tuesday the revolution
lists entered the city unmolested un-
til they had reached the government
house. Then the government forces
opened fire. The rebels answered and
the battle ragged for several hours.
Polin Espaillat, one of the rebel lead
ers, fell with a bullet wound that
broke his leg.
Panchito Perez and many other rev
outionists were killed and, seeing
that their attack was futile. the rebels
fed, closely pursued by the govern
ment soldiers. Espaillat was left on
the field of battle and made pris-
oner by the government troops.
The government losses are not
stated, but two officers are known TO
have been killed and several men

IOWA WOMAN GOES FREE.
Convicted of Murder Once and Given

Winterset, Ia, Feb. 18-Mrs. Mar

murder of her husband Dec. 2, 1900
is free woman. On motion of the
state the case In rehearing was strick

discharged.
The crime for which Mrs. Hossack
was given life sentence at Anamosa
is one of the most atrocious in Grim

man, was murdered with an axe while
he lay sleeping. She aroused the
household at o'clock in the morning,
claiming that some one had entered
the house and struck the blow. A day
later she was arrested at her husband q
grave, tried and sentenced for life. A
new trial was granted and disagree
ment resulted. A third trial resulted
similarly and the state concluded ii
was waste pf funds again to try the
case.

KOREAN PORT OPENED.
Wiiu Declared Free to Commerce oi
the World.

Washington. Feb. 18.-Mr. Allen, the
American minister at Seoul, cables
the state department that Wiju has
been declared open to the commerce
of the world by the Korean govern
ment.
The United States was the first
power, so far as known, to apply to
the Korean government for the open
ing of Wiju to the worlds trade. This
action was taken while Japan and
England We're urging the opening of
Yongampho, lying at the mouth OF the
Yalu river on the Korean side. The
view taken by the state department
was that if we could secure the open
ing of Wiju, $50 miles up the Yalu
river from Yangampho, the effect
would be practically to open the whole
of that stretch of the river to COM
merce, SO that the project really was
much larger than the mere opening of
a port at the mouth of river. Wiju
lies on the opposite side of the river
and near to Antung, in Manchuria,
which the Chinese government already
has by treaty with the United States
declared to be an open port although
this never has been admitted by Rus

to open single port in addition to

steps to have America represented at

TO INVEST PORT ARTHUR.
Army of Fifty Thousand Men Sails
From Japan.

Paris. Feb. 1S.-An official dispatch
received here from Toxic announces
that one of the most important move
ments of japanese troops yet made is
now occurring. One of the main
branches of the army, consisting OF
three divisions and including a di-
vision of guards, is now getting on
board transports. The previous land
ings of Japanese forces in Korea and
elsewhere are said to have been small
compared with this simultaneous sail
ing of three divisions, aggregating ap-
proximately an army of 10000 to 3d.
900 men. The Japanese authorities,
it is added, had taken every precau-
tion to prevent information from going
out concerning the embarkation and
the destination of this army. 1t is be-
lieved, but this is not sure, that the
destination of this force is a point
near the mouth of the Yalu river, or
a spot on the Liaotung peninsula

Liquozone is simply liquid oxygen-no
drugs, no alcohol in it. 1t is the discovery
of PAUL., the great German chemist, who
spent 10 years on it. His object was to
get such an excess of oxygen in staple
form into the blood that no germ could
live in any membrane or tissue.
Oxygen Is life to an animal-the very
source of vitality. We would die in three
minutes without it. In this liquid form
its effects are exhilarating, purifying,
vitalizing. But germs are vegetables, and
this excess of oxygen is deadly to vege-
table matter.
