THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Events Of Interest from the seat
of Government.
BY j. r.. JONES.
Turbulent Mexico,
BY j. T.. JONES

The international nuisance to our
southwest kept even the placid and
urbane William Howard Taft ON the
uneasy seat for a large portion of
more than year before he went out
of Office. President Wilson and Sec
rotary Bryan have got to know Mexico
well enough to realize that those peo-
pie are not to be cOaXed, and there is
a growing opinion in Washington that
only show Of force will ever straight
en- out Mexican conditions. Gen. Car
ANA, the leader of the constitutional
lists, is in high favor in Washington,
although little has been admitted in
that direction. The conStitutionalsts
are in complete control of the greater
portion of Mexico. 1t is noteworthy
that in the battles fought on Mexican
soil, large armies seem to be able to
oppose one another for hours at a
time without many soldiers being hurt
The Huerta government in its last
days has been having no end of finan-
cial difficulties, and this no doubt is
largely instrumental in having weak
ened it. The rebels claim they have
about 16 soldiers to one rifle, and
want the embargo lifted so they can
change the ratio.
The Navy Holiday.
Let no one be deceived regarding all
this talk about naval holiday. While
this may be wish fathered by the lord
of the admiralty of Great Britain, the
Right Honorable Winston Churchill
echoed through our own house of rep
resentatives and seemingly tentatively
endorsed by the secretary of the navy
yet there are more than "57 varieties
/ of reasons why there is not likely tc
be curtailing of navy building in
any of the great countries of the
world. Already Germany has vetoed
the proposal and that practically set
ties it. Again, what, for instance
would the steel trust, the powder
trust, and the naval officers clubs, and
army and navy trusts find to do il
there was sudden falling off of &C
tivity in building great ornaments!
A naval holiday would disrupt the
whole scheme of things and to bring
it about in our own country the over
whelming power of the army and navy
which has a thorough hold upon Con
gress, would have to be broken. This
would be job even larger than oul
esteemed ex-President Roosevelt un
dertook in last years campaign.

PLUNGE KILLS BABE.
Shock of Sudden Dip on Frightened
Child Is Fatal,

ATLANTIC CITY. n. j., June d.
Frightened into spasms by fear that he
was going to be ducked under a wave,
Israel Brounstein, two years old. of 1925
Boardwalk, died yesterday when his
mother sought to cure the attack by
plunging him into the water. The shock
of the sudden dip stopped his heart, and
he was dead before his mother had lifted
him above the 'comber.
Little Israel was taken to the beach by
his mother for his first ocean bath. He
became highly agitated when he
glimpsed big comber coming his way,
and when his mother 1okingly said she
was going to put him under he went
into the spasm.
Beach Surgeon Bossert worked an
hour over the child without being able
to arouse a spark Of life. 1t was the
beach's first fatality for the season.

Is miles OF new road opened for opera
ton.
The location provided by law for rail-
roads in the provinces of Albay, Ambos
Camarines and southern Luzon was found
to be impracticable. as the line from
Ligao to Tabaco involved too expensive
was permitted to eliminate the expensive
part of that line and make connections on
the main line with Tabaco from Legaspi.
The rich hemp regions adjoining Tabaco
and Ligao were later reached by short
branches.
In the Visayan Islands the Philippine
Railroad Company went ahead rapidly.
BY June 80, 1907, the company had COM
pleted in Cebu twenty-eight miles of
veyed. and the location of sixty miles
had been approved. Equal progress was
made on the islands OF Panay and Ne
gros 1t was found necessary to post
and actual work also showed that
the cost Of construction in the Visayan
Islands would be between $4,000 and
$4,000 a mile. Since then the cost of
construction has been as low as $4,6OO
per mile on the Cebu island and as high
as $6SOOO per mile on Panay. Actual
construction work in Negros did not be-
gin until the fall of 1908.
In 1909 the government felt that in or
der to obtain the full benefit Of the lines
to be constructed in Ambos Camarines,
in the south of Luzon, it would be neces-
sary to connect them with the lines ex-
tending to the south of Manila. This
would require the construction OF 135
miles of road in poorly developed terri
tory, and in order to induce the Manila
Railroad Company to do this it was nee
essary for the Philippine overnment to
guaranty interest at per cent per an
mum on first lien bonds to be issued for
the company. secured by mortgage, such
guaranty to be issued on the lines south
of Manila only known as the southern or
guaranty system, and also the line from
Camp One to Baguio. The limit Of the
bonds was placed at 81 100000 This will

xlII-Railroads.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

When the American soldiers went to
the Philippines they saw many quaint
and curious things and one Of them was
the solitary railroad in the islands. The
5erkwater, one-horse. two-byfour affair
ran 100 miles from Manila northward to
Dagupan. It belonged to a British con-
Germ with British officers and Filipino
crews. This line is still in operation. 1t
now belongs to the Speyer syndicate,
which also has built several hundred
miles Of road in the Visayan Islands. This
original Manila-Dagupan line is still I'M
der British management with its bone
head attendants and station agents. The
engines arc toy affairs and the cars Of
European style with small compartments.
1t continues to rival the famous Arkansas
railroad of the joke book 1t still goes
slowly on the theory Of the Filipinos that
they would not get their moneys worth
II they got to their destination in say
two hours. So the railroad company gives
them four-hour trip for their money.
The cars continue to be total stranger
to drinking water, towels and soap and
the trains not infrequently have very
original habit of stopping for an hour or
more in the midst of some torrid stretch
at the hottest part Of the day. The
journey Of 100 miles from Manila to Dag
upan Is made in nine hours, if every
