CHAN MEL FOR
The DELAWARE
Congress to Take Up the Matter
of Improving the Water
Way.
(From the NEWS corrcspondcnt.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. 20
VIM. II. Taft, secretary of war, has
transmitted TO congress a report from
General A. Mackenzie, chief of en-
gineers, Of the preliminary survey
and examination of Cohansey River,
as authorized under the act of March
3, 1905. The plan provides for the
dredging of the river and an artificial
cut at the mouth of the same to a
depth of seven feet from Bridgeton
TO the seven foot channel in the Del
aware river. 1t is estimated that the
improvement will cost $69,400,
which includes $4,000 for ~ietties to
protect the artificial Il at the rivers
mouth. 1t is also estimated that the
cost of maintenance annually will be
from $4,000 to $500. The opinion
is expressed that the improvement is
worthy. General Mackenzie suggests
that the building of the jetties be de-
ferred until it shall be shown that
they are needed.
Petitions Received.
Senators Kean and Dryden have re-
ceived a petition from the Brother

INSURANCE co. LOSES AT FRISCO
No Single Excuse for Refusing to Pay,
Says the Court.

San Francisco, Cal.-The Trans
Atlantic Fire Insurance Co. loses in
the first decision to be rendered in
the superior courts, regarding the liza
bility of companies, which have re-
fused a dollar-for-dollar settlement.
Ihe company has not a single excuse
in law for repudiating the claims of
its policy holders, according to the
decision rendered by Judge Carroll
Cook.
The Transatlantic had no earth
quake clause. Its resistance to the
payment of obligations rested entire
ly upon the general clause of eXcep-
tons in the policies by which it was
relieved from liability in case of loss
caused by invasion, insurrection, riot,
civil wal or civil connections, on
through military or usurped power OR
by order of any civil authority.
There is no evidence that can bring
the Ease within any of the exceptions
contained in the policy" said Judge
Cook. Even if the earthquake caused
the fire, the defendant would still be
liable under the policy, but there is
no evidence that would justify a find
ing that the Are was caused by the
earthquake"
The plaintiff in the test case is AS
sistant City Attorney A. S. Newburgh,
who received 5000. The company dis
claimed responsibility upon the asser-
ton that the lire was an act of provi-
dence.

TROOPS LAND PEACEFULLY
CUBAN RESURRECTION COMES TO
AN END.
Brigade of Marines Under Maj. New

Cienfuegos, Cuba-The insurrection
in Cuba is now ended. Gen. Guzman
mas practically ~disbanded his army,
although retaining 800 men at Banos.
Other smaller forces are policing the
towns and patrolling the province I'M
til this duty is assumed in full by the
American troops. Gen. Guzman's 1000
to 5000 men still retain their arms and
will not give them up until Provisional
Governor Taft has arranged for the
formal surrender.
The insurgents have the friendliest
feeling for the Americans, and it is a
mistake to say that ony hostility ex-
lists. There is a possibility of some
minor clashes between troops and in
surrectos who do not understand the
situation, but as a whole the occupa-
ton here will be peaceful.

Tolstoi said recently TO Henry New.
fnson, the English writer on Russia:
"You are young and l am old, but as
you grow older you will find, as | have
found, that day follows day, and there
does not seem much change in you,
till suddenly you hear people speaking
of you as al old man. 1t is the same
with an Ne in history; day follows
day, and there does not seem to be
much change, till suddenly it is found
that the age is become old. 1t is fin.
ished; it is out of date. The present
movement in Russia is not a riot, it
is not even a revolution; it is the end
of an age"
