Marx The Southern Pacific Company will at once begin the work of Improving the KiiKLMie depot yards, whlsh has been In contemplation for Bevernl years past. Thirty-two head of mules to be used In tho work nrrived here this afternoon and were taken to tho Kngeno Transfer Company's barns nt Tenth and Willamette streets, where they will be quartered while at work here. Contractor O'Neill, who will have charKJ of the work, was In the city Sunday and made arrangements for tho keeping of the mules. He left for tho north on the evening train and was expected back this after noon, but ho failed to arrive. AVlille here yesterday, however, he gave out enough Information as to the plans of the company in regard to the rear rangement of the yards and the im provements to be made so that the Cluard Is able to give a general out line ofllio work. According to the statements of Con tractor O'Neill the sidetrack north of the depot will be extended west to Lincoln street, or over a block In dis tance; a new track for passing trains will be built between this sidetrack and tho main track, and the other tracks will be improved and proba bly lengthened. The grounds will bo filled In all over the yards and ev erything done preparatory to the erection of a new passenger depot this spring. While theito Is no direct information nt hand, It Is believed' that the work of building the de pot will begin as soon as the track improvements are completed. As be fore staled by the Ciuard, the depot will be located about where S. H. l'"rlendly's warehouse now stands and all warehouses will bo removed lo tho north side of the tracks.

Tho Westminster Gazette says that nothing but regret is felt thut nny dllllcully has arisen between Gover nor Sweetenliam and Admiral Davis, and assures the United States that Kngland deeply appreciates America's generosity and sympathy. Governor Sweetenhnm's action is considered inexplicable at the foreign olllce. Mention is made of the In consistencies in the governor's letter and It Is declared that the most char itable view Is that the governor was overwrought by tho great nervous strain. OhTclals of the colonial of fice express themselves In a similar manner. It is learned that the In cident between Sweetenliam and the ndmrVal is not the only one which tins arisen, as It now develops that the activities of Sir Alfred Jones In relieving the situation have given the governor the idea thnt Sir Al ' fred sought to tnko tho whole matter rtn hand. , ' IlATTLUNflll' MIHSOlTtr iti;TtuxixJ i'uom Kingston AGENTS FOR THE CELEBRATED GORDOiN AND STETSON HATS CASH STORE ' Gunnlanamo, Jan. 21.
