Dazzling Scheme to Tunnel Under
Behring Strait, Alaska, to Siberia.
St. Petersburg-A more favorable
attitude is being taken here toward
the dazzling scheme for tunnel un-
der Behring strait and an all-rail
route from the United States to Eu-
rope. Baron de Lobel, representing
the American Transmission Siberian
company, is again pressing the project
vigorously, and has made considerable
progress toward securing a desired
concession from Russia.
A distinct party of the government,
which has the sympathy of Premier
White, earnestly favors closer COM
mercial relations between the United
States and Russia, and this project
appeals to it, not only as a method
for accomplishing this end, but for de-
veloping the resources of Siberia.
Emperor Nicholas has created a
mixed commission before which Baron
de Lobel will make final argument,
March 16, and ask for eighteen
months in which to complete arrange
ments and ten years to finish the road

made q reconnaissance toward Mount
Dajo during the week previous to the

no effect upon the hostile attitude of

An unofficial report says that the
families of the Moros remained in the
village located in the center of the
crater at the apex Of the mountain,
and the women and children mingled
with the warriors during the battle
to such an extent that it was impossi-
BILE to discriminate, and all were
killed in the fierce onslaught.
All of the men who were wounded
in the recent fight with the Moros at
Mount Dajo are reported to be in ia
vorable condition.
Six organizations Of the troops
which came from Mindanao are either
