The examination made by the city

mittee few days since reveals the
fact that at the present time the depth
of sand in the sand bed ranges from
twenty-five inches minimum, to forty
four inches maximum; the efficiency
of the filter Is determined by the min
imum depth of sand and this is two
feet and two inches less than DR..
Wheeler says there should be In the
filter and fourteen inches less than
seems to be indicated by the Lawrence
report.
With the spring freshet and the
high water the river becomes very
turbid and the silt and filth accumu-
lates on the surface of the sand very
rapidly necessitating cleaning each six
or eight days and at each cleaning
there Is removed from one-half to an
inch of sand, generally more than the
latter amount when the water is very
foul.
Before the new sand can be put into
the Grand Forks filter the minimum
depth of the sand bed will not exceed
from fourteen to sixteen inches and

aid of the federal government to the
insular authorities IL desirable. A
small detachment of federal troops are
now assisting the constabulary in the
pursuit of the fugative Pulajanes. The
insular government has not yet re-

gle shot Springsf1elds they have been
using.
Governor Curry, in his report to the
government on the recent engagement
with the Pulajanes at Magician SAYS
Eve had hard fight in which Captain
Jones of the cOnstabulary lost half of
his command, gaining a magnificent
victory in the face of overwhelming
odds. The Pulajanes, under flag 81
truce and while promising to sur
render, Immediately opened fire,
charging the constabulary. The leader
Of the Pulajanes ordered his men to
first wipe out the constabulary and
then to capture myself and other Am

II have requested company of
federal troops Immediately and later
on when Joined by this additional
force will prepare to wage war of
determination against the fugatives
which is the only alternative.
With the assistance of the federal

an interesting and instructive report.
The story OF the old Chinese blind
