first half of the present fiscal year as
compared with the corresponding por

In the six
montlia ending December 31, 1901,
there were 7,476 cash sales made in the
United States, representing 767,002
acres, from which |2,719,384 was real
ized. During the corresponding months
of 1902 there were 23,015 sales, of 1,-
663,613 acres, from which was realized
$4,747,563.
Inasmuch as these sales were princi
pally under the timber and stone act,
there seems to be jnitification ot the

of the past quarters exceed those of any

CUBANS G R O W SUSPICipuS.
Bungling of Treaty Creates Fear of Fur
th er Amendments.
Havana, March 27.— Although there
is much complaint here on the part of
the Cubans that the United States did
not give the reciprocity treaty a fair
deal, the publication of the text of the
amendments hag shown them that the
treaty has not been materially damaged
from
a Cuban standpoint, except
through the delay and uncertainty en
tailed by the action at Washington.
The present feeliug of suspicion is
due principally to the lacx of assur
ances that the treaty cannot be amend
ed in the United States house of repre
sentatives and that I’reaideut Roosevelt
w ill call a special session prior to the
regular meeting of congress.
The presidents of all manufacturing
and commercial associations today re
ceived a list of inquiries from the sen
ate committee on foreign relations
with regard to the effects of the amend
ments. It ia requested that ttie repre
sentations be sent in tomorrow. The
report on the treaty will be completed
today.

W ILL W ANT TWENTY SQUARE MILES
Will Be Principal Station in W est Indies
cations to Be Built.
Guantanamo, Cuba, March 26.—
After a personal inspection of the pro
posed site, Secretary Moody has select
ed
Guantanamo
as the principal
United States naval station ir the West
Indies.
Secretary Moody, Senator
Proctor and Representatives Cannon,
Foss and G illstt arrived here yesterday
on board the United States dispaten
boat Dolphin.
Secretary Moody and his associates
have worked incessantly during the
past two days under a hat sun examin
ing the points, the water supply and
the surrounding country. They visited
the locations for the proposed fortifica
tions, surveyed the coast line and con
ferred with the owners of the land
which it ia pioposed to acquire.
Senator Proctor and the representa
tives w ill recommend the purchase of
20 square miles of land on both sides
of the lower bay and several small
islands. As soon as the necessary leg
islation has been secured, they favor
the construction of a permanent bar
racks, a drydock and strong fortifica
tions designed against a sea attack
only, fortifications on the land side not
being regarded as necessary. No diffi
culty is anticipated in acquiring the
necessary land, as the Spanish and
English owners are enthusiastic for tiie
station. It is thought that both the
army and navy will maintain forces at
Guantanamo.
The Dolphin will proceed to Jamaica
tomorrow.
NEW PHILIPPINE CURRENCY.
Treasury Department Plans lor Purchase
and Coioage of Silver.
Washington, March 26.— Secretary
Root lias been in cable correspondence
with Governor Taft in relation to the
carrying out of the provisions of the
Philippine currency act an I it has been
dstermined to sell $3,000,000 of tem
porary certificates for the purchase of
silver bullioa for coinage into pesos.
These certificates bear four per cent in
terest, are free from taxation, aud run
for one year. They w ill be issued in
denominations of one thousand dollars
each, made payable to the bearer.
These certificates are to be sold in this
country.
It is learned that the insular divis
ion of the war department has request-
ed the secretary of the treasury to pur
chase the necessary silver and execute
the coinage of the Phijippine pesos
authorized by the Philippine currency
act. Although this act authoiizes the
coinage of not to exceed 76,000,000
pesos, including recotnage or M e x ic a n
and Philippine coins, it is not contem
plated at present to coin more than
20,000,000 pesua, at the rate of 2,000,-
000 a month.
The silver for these coins will be pur
chased in the United Htates, but under
what conditions has not yet been
determined. The treasury, it is under
stood, w ill purchase only at the market
value, in such quantities as may lie
needed as the coinage progresses. It
is said that the department will not
submit to an advance in the price of
silver, it it cat) possibly be secured at
the ruling rate.
AMERICAN FALLS RUN DRY.
Ice-Jam Stops the Flow of Niagara, and
Relic Hunters Revel.
Niagara Falls, March 26. — The
American Falls is practically dry, and
for the first time in 55 years people are
able to walk about in the river bed.
Thousands have clambered over tho
rocks hunting for relics and souvenirs.
Great rocks never before seen are high
and dry.
So little water is flowing
over the American Falls that men in
high hoots almost could have crossed
at the brink.
The extraordinary condition is due
to an ice jam up the river.
The ice
was driven from Lake Erie into the
entrance to the Niagara and lodged in
the ghoalwater, shutting off the flow
into the American channel.
Tbe
Horseshoe Falls ia not affected as mnch
as the American.
The river in the vi
cinity of the Three Sister islands is
quite dry, and the center falls, between
Goat and Luna ielands, is a skeleton of
itself. The conditions ia likely to last
for several days.
