MANILA OUT LAWS
ARE On TRIAL.

MANILA, Sept 1.-THE trials of
Sakay and Montalan and other outlaws
began at Cavite today The Govern
ment expects to secure convictions on
the charge of conspiracy to murder
Americans at Davao. The conspiracy
was suppressed by the military acting
in cooperation with planters. An.
American named Bolton was the only
victim of the plot.
The plot was discovered during the
investigation of Bottoms death June 16.
1t was learned that three headmen,
Mungalayan, Baliuang and Sinbanan,
planned the assassinations. Munga-
layan killed Bolton and afterward fell
a victim to the troops. His brother
Calibay. who was also implicated in
the conspiracy, was killed at the same
time.
Baliuang was arrested August 81.
Sinbanan has been located and his ar
rest is expected soon.

PRESIDENT DIAZ OPENS
CONGRESS IN MEXICO
Refers to Treaty Made With United
States as to Waters of
Rio Grande.

MEXICO CITY. Sept. 16.4President
Diaz opened the autumn session of
Congress tonight in the presence of
Senator'S and Deputies and a brilliant
audience. He said in his message that
Mexico was on the most friendly terms
with almost all civilized ntions. while
with no nation was any question exist
ing which even remotely threatened
conflict.
The long discussed question of an in
ternational dam in order to insure an
equitable distribution of water between
factors of the Rio Grande had taken
satisfactory form, he said, in a treaty
signed at Washington. This treaty will
be submitted to the Mexican Senators
for ratification. The President men
toned the recent revolution in Guate-
mala and said that strict neutrality
was enforced.

landed, and that the steamship was
resting easily in the position where she
had struck.
When the first reports reached here
it was supposed that the vessel must
have been 400 or 500 miles out of her
course. This was thought to have
been due TO submarine earthquakes
possibly a continuation of the same
list of quakes that had resulted in
changing the currents near the Ha-
waiian Islands. which are supposed TO
have been the cause of the stranding
of the Manchuria and the United States
transport Sheridan.
This theory. however, was dispelled
by Mr.. Schwerin. who said that the
ship had been ordered to stop at Mid
way in order TO permit President
Warde Of the Postal Cable Company
TO land there Mr.. Schwerin said that
he had given positive orders TO Captain
Porter not TO try TO approach Midway
except in broad daylight" Whether
these instructions had been obeyed, he
could not say.
The officers Of the vessel are Captain
W. Porter, Assistant Chief Oficer J.
holm, Purser A z. Rennfe, Chief Stew
ard J. Hawes and Second Steward J.
Hollingane- Captain Porter is one of
the old officers of the Pacific Mail Com
pany- For many years he was in COM
mand Of the Para, running on the coast
route, and he had also been in COM
mand Of many other vessels of the
company. When the Mongolia was
brought here from the East she came
in command OF Captain J. H Reisder,
and Captain Porter on that voyage
acted as chief officer. AS soon as the
Mongolia arrived here and went into
commission, Captain Porter took com
mand and, up to the present time, has
steered her course over the broad
waters Of the Pacific with great sue
cess.
Purser Rennie is without question
one of the most popular officers who
crosses the ocean. His wife and family
reside here.
The Mongolia has on board $50 cabin
passengers and a large number in the
steerage. She also has in her great
holds nearly 10000 tons of valuable
freight of the richest and rarest
products Of the Orient Chief among
these are great quantitiesgof raw silk,
tea and opium.
The Manchuria was started to be
launched October 81, 1903, but she
stuck in the ways and was not finally

shippers this is supposed to be an omen

Manchuria Floated at Rabbit

HONOLULU. Sept 1s.-The Pacific
Mail Company's steamship Manchuria,
which went aground on Rabbit Island
August 90, was successfully foated to-
day, and towed TO this harbor by the
tug Restorer. A great crowd of peo-
pie watched the Manchuria being towed
in. During the final efforts to pull the
Manchuria off the reef several thous-
and bags Of -four were jettieoned. These
are washing ashore and are being pick
ed up by the natives.
The Manchuria is now anchored off

MANY PEOPLE FAVOR PROPOSED
new WATER WORKS SYSTEM
Discusses Water Question-Both Sides

Greek was pretty thoroughly discus
sed at a public meeting held in the
district Court room Friday night, un-
der the auspices of the Merchants
Association.
There was a large and representa-
tive gathering of citizens present and
the matter of embarking upon the en-
terprlse alluded to was debated pro
and con. some of the speakers favor
ing the proposition and others oppos-
ing It
The meeting was called to order by
President Hutton of the Merchants
pose of the gathering was to consider
a subject of vital Importance to the
community. and expressed the hope
that there would be a full and free
discussion OF the matter, for 1t is
only in that way" he said, that the
facts in relation to the proposition
can be brought out and a just estim-
ate made OF public sentiment regard
ing the wisdom of the undertaking.
On motion, S. II. Atwater was made
chairman of the meeting and W NJ.
Mayhew secretary.
In explaining the object of the meet
ing, MIR. A,water declared that the
paramount question with municipali-
ties the county over was the one of
an ample supply of pure wholesome
water. Washington, d. c., is spend
ing millions of dollars on. filtration
plant In order that its citizens may
have an abundance of good water. and
New York City is establishing reser-
voir one hundred and fifty miles back
In the country for the same purpose.
"The world over" asserted Mr.. At
water, at is aqua pura. II 20 is what
we are after. All agree that Canon
City needs pure water. The only
question is where to get 1t and how
to get IL"
Mayor Coulter, who has given much
thought to the water problem as 1t
applies to Canon City. was called on
and gave some valuable data collected
In the course of his investigations.
Mr.. Coulter said that during his term
of office as mayor a great many pro-
positions looking to the Improvement
OF the water supply had come up for
consideration. and that they had even
tuated in the employment of Hiram
