Extensive Plans.
Vancouver, H. O., Feb. 7. Options
on $300,000 worth of property in the
east end of Vancouver have just been
soured by the Great Northern rail
way. The property iia water front on
False cn-ek, a branch of English bay.
The company intends bulldiug a canal
from deep water on the main harbor

secured.
Two weeks ago the Great Northern
acquired the charter of the Victoria,
Vancouver & Kaatern railway, whose
projected lice la 800 tulles in length,
from the Kootenai mining cities to
Vancouver. The plan ia for the east
ern end of the line to connect with the
Great Northern system running out of
Spokane, which will give , a separate
outlet at the cast, besides Seattle. To
cross the Knitter river at Westminster
is another feature of the project, and
from there to Vancouver, 12 unless

Havana, Feb. 7. The United States
transport Mcl'herson ran about half
her length on a reef eight miles west

-saving her, as she will sink if pulled
off. She It rolling in the heavy seas
and ia pounding badly, and will go to
pieces if the wind Increases.

PROCLAMATION TO FILIPINOS
1 1 .( ;
Warning to Them and Others Who Aid In the
Insurrection.
Manila, Felt. 11, General MaoAr-
tor's proclamation to the Filipinos re
minds the native that exemplary pun
ishments attach to infringements of the
rules of war and that their strict oh
aervance will be required not only by
combatant, but as well by noncotnnat
aots. General MaoArthur states that
insurgents who threaten, kidnap or as
aasalnate natives friendly to the
American, are guilty of violation ot
the laws of war and most eventually
answer for murder or such other crime
aa may result from their unlawful No
tions. Persons who do things inimical
to the Interests of the American army
wilt be punished in spite of a plea of
intimidation.
When, as is known to be -the case in
many place occupied by United Rates
troops, secret committees are allowed
to exist and to act ia behalf of the so
called insurgent government by covet
ing Supplies, recruiting wen and send
ing military information to the iusur
gut cam its, the persona who screen
these committees are in danger ot be
ing ponUhed as war traitors, Ibe
proclamation continues:
"The practice of sending supplier to
Insurgent troops Irons places occupied
by the United Statea must cease.
These remarks all apply with special
reference to the city ot Manila, which
ia well known at a rendezvous from
which au extensive correspondence is
distributed to all parts of the archi
pelago by sympathizers with, and by
emissaries of the insurrection. The
newspapers and other periodical of
Manila are especially admonished that
any article published, in the midst of
ocb martial environments, wbkb by
any construction can be placed as se
ditious, most be regarded as intended
to injure the army of occupation and
as subjecting all connected with the
publication to punitive action.
"Men who participate iu hostilities
without leina'pirt of regularly organ
ieed fcroe and without sharing con
tln6oDlv in its operations, but who do
so with intermittent returns to their
homes and avocationa, divest them
selves of the character of soldiers, and,
if captured, are not entitled to the
privileges as prisoners of war."
BANKER CREEL'S VISIT.
Te Arrange Somt Way of Putting Mexico on a
Gold Basis.
New York, Feb. XLA a dluner
given In bis honor by Charles H. Flint,
Senor Kurique U. Creel, a banker of
the City of Mexico, waa the principal
apeaker. The dinner was attended by
a number of prominent financiers. It
is the general belief that Senor Creel
has come to arrange some way of put
ting Mexico on a gold basis, instead of
her present silver standard. Senor
Creel said:
"Senor LI man tour will be the acting
preaideut of Mexico doting the Euro
pean trip of President Dias, which will
Uke plaoe in the near future. France
will be the first country visited, but
the probabilities are that be will visit
London and all the great Continental
cities. Oh the return trip New York
will according to the present pro
gramme, be the port of debarkation.
"So far as the United States and
Mexico are concerned, the financial
and industrial interests of the two
countries are of the closest and most
important character. Hitherto Ameri
can capital has found ample field for
investment at home. Its increase has
been so enormous in recent years thttt
it now seeks investment abroad. Mex
ioo is the most profitable field to which
it can turn. 1 am not alone in thia
opinion. Many of the most eminent
American financiers think so."

MOUNTAIN TOP BLOWN OFF
Terrible Explosion In a Mexican Mine Kilted
Eighty-seven Persons.
Chihuahua, Mex., Feb. 9. Word
has just reached hereof one ot the most
terrible mining disasters that ever oc
curred in Mexico. An explosion in
the San Andres mine, situated in a re
mote locality of the Sierra Madres, in
the western part of tbe state of Du
rango, caused the death of 87 men,
women and children, and injured
many others. The catastrophe waa
due to tbe explosion ot several hundred
cases of dynamite, which was stored in
an underground chamber of the mine.
Electric wires connecting with the
hoisting machinery paased through the
room in which this dynamite was
stored,' and it is supposed tht these
wires became crossed, thereby causing
a fire which set off the dynamite.
Allot the killed and injured were
located on tbe eurf ace, most of them
ocoupying residences right over the
under-ground workings of the mine.
The explosion tore away the whole top
of the mountain on which tbe village
was located, and men, women and
children were blown into amall pieces.
Among those who were killed was Her
man Luetzman, tbe superintendent of
the mine and all the members of hia
family.
At the time of tbe explosion there
were several hundred miners at work
in the lower workings of the mine,
and, strange to say, none ot them were
seriously, injured, although they were
all severely , shocked by th e terrific
force of the explosion. They rushed
to the surface through one of the shafts
that was not filled with debria and the
sight that met their eyes in the almost
complete destruction of the little vil
lage is indescribable. The work of
fathering up the fragments of the un
fortunate victima ot the explosion scat
tered over the mountain was begun,
and they were placed together and
bulred in one grave. But few of the
mangled remains were rcogniiable.
Summons were sent to neighboring
camps for surgeons to attend to the in
jured, and it waa some time before
they arrived.
The San Andres mine is the most
celebrated silver mine in Mexico. It
is valued at $20,000,000. It has pro
duced many millions of dollars worth
of ore.
Wrecked at a Crossing. ' . .
Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 9. The Penn
sylvania limited express train ran into
the rear of the Cleveland express on
the Pennsylvania line at the Allegheuy
avenue crossing this morning, wreck
ing the engine ot the limited and the
rear sleeper of the Clevelana express.
The passengers on the limited were
shaken up but not . injured. Only one
passenger on the Cleveland express,
Henry Lublang, of New York, waa ser
iously injured, but several sustained
alight bruises. Failure to flag the lim
ited is said to have been the cause of
the collision.

ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY.
Three Well-Knowa Men Were Trailed Through
the Snow.
Sioux City, la., Feb. .12. Three
men, believed to have been implicated
in the theft last night at Manila, Ia..
ot a United Statea Express Company's
safe, said to contain $10,000, were ar
rested at hat place this morning.
Tbey were traced by their tracks in
tbe snow. Tbe men are John Jack
son, John Stovall and Charles Hayes.
All live at .Manila, and are well known.
Their reputations heretofore have not
been bad. They stoutly protested
their innocence. Mrs. Jackson, wife
of John Jackson, was also arrested,
but at a preliminary hearing, she was
released. The three men are in jail,
having been unable to furnish a bond,
fixed at $12,000 each.
None of the money or valuables, has
been recovered. Tbe safe that was
stolen contained in the neighborhood
of $40,000. Two thousand dollars was
in caab, and the remainder in drafts,
checks and various valuables. While
the robbery undoubtedly was deliber
ately planned, as the horse and wagon
were in waiting in a convenient spot,
it ia not believed that tbe men knew
they were making so rich a haul.
They had no means of knowing tbe
contents of the safe, only that it was
nsed in carrying valuables.
The Cbicaao. Milwaukee & St. Paul
train on which the aafe was taken
front Sioux City, arrived at Manila at
8:05 P. M. Tbe Omaha train was
late, and James Sturtevant. of Sioux
City, the express messenger, did not
hurry in unloading the goods and pack
ages from his car. The express box,
with other articles, was placed on a
truck on tbe depot platform, and then
Sturtevant and tbe baggageman went
to the other end of tbe platform to get
another truck load. When Sturtevant
returned he noticed the articles on the
trnck weie disarranged, and a glance
showed that tbe iron box was gone.
There was great excitement, and no
time ?vas lost in spreading tbe alarm.
Marshal Fearall hastily assembled a
posse. ' Fnpw lay thick on tbe ground,
and it did not take long to discover
tbe tracks ot two persons, who evident
ly bad been carrying something heavy
directly from the truck, as it stood on
the depot platform. .
Tbey carried the safe a distance of
about two blocks, and then loaded it
into a wagon, which had been left
there in waiting. The wagon was
driven about a mile and a half out into
the country, and there the safe was
forced open and the contents abstract
ed. The men abandoned the safe and
went their way cj a , new track. It
was not difficult, however, to trace
them, and this morning three arrests
were made1. The authorities say the
shoes of two of the men under arrest fit
exactly the tracks in the snow.
THREE LIVES LOST.
Result of a Fire in a Boston Brick Building
Four Others Badly Injured.
Boston, Feb. 12. Three persons lost
their lives and four others were badly
injured in a fire in a four-story brick
dwelling in Harrison avenue early
this morning.
There is suspicion that the fire was
of incendiary origin and two arrests
have been made, Harris Levin and his
wife Bertha. -'
Levin had a shoe store on tbe first
floor of the building, and the arrests
are mad on the suspicion that naptha
or somebing of that kind caused the
fire.
Men and women jumped from the
burning building and firemeu and po
licement rescued others from smoke
filled corridors and hallways.
The second-stoay was occupied by
Daniel Hart, his wife, her sister and
tour children. They all jumped from
a window. One of the children was
badly burned and suffered internal in
juries by jumping, and died. Mrs.
Hart waa badly hurt.
The third story was occupied by
Daniel and Thomaa Brennan. The lat
ter escaped, but Daniel jumped three
stories to a shed and suffered serious
injuries.
The fourth story waa occupied by
Mrs. Frances Kiley and Mrs. Barry.
Mrs. Kiley was overcome by the smoke
and suffocated. Her body was discov
ered after the flames had been sub
dued. Mrs. Barry jumped from the
fourth floor and is in a precarious con
dition. . : ' ,
, Transport Ashore.
Santiago De Cuba, Feb. 12. The
United States transport Rawlins went
aground this morning on a coral reef
near the wreck of- the United States
collier Merrimttc. She arrived at day
break, intending to embark the troops
of the Tenth infantry for New York.
The pilot attempted to pass on the
wrong side of the Merrimao, and
struck the hidden reef hard. Three
powerful tugs pulled unsuccessfully all
the afternoon in the attempt to float
the ship. It will probably he necessary
to rig elaborate tackle belore she can
be gotten off. She is in no danger,
and the likelihood is that she is not
injured.

SPRING DEMAND GROWING.
Better Trade Reported In South and Southwest
j V The Trade Reviews. .
Bradstreet's says: Trade develop
ments aisde from those connected with '
rumors of combination in great indus
tries, of which it' seems as yet too
early to speak authoritatively, have
been in the main favorable. Several
lines of trade and many staple prices
show irregularity, but this is not more
pronounced than usnal at this season
of the year. Tbe feature of the week
f distributive jobbing lines has been
tbe growth of spring demand in the
South and Southwest, reflected in en
larged sales of dry good, boots 'and
shoes, clothing and millinery at lead
ing centers in the East and central
West. -
. Better adivces as to tbe outlook for
trade coming from Norbtwest and Pa
cific coast reports are no less encourag
ing. The cereals are dull, irregular
and rather lower, on large Argentine
shipments and liberal North West
movements, the supporting feature be
ing tbe good export inquiry developed
at concessions. The strength of sole
leather is a feature noted at many mar
kets. Shoe buyers are in full force at
Boston, and sample orders . are numer
ous Factories are well employed la
immediate delivery orders. Buyers
are reported more willing to meet
manufacturers' views as to prices.
Lumber has lagged among building
material, but is stiffening in price as
the season of active operations ap
proaches. , Tbe textiles are rather
quiet, as to first bands. Cotton nas
weakened despite smaller receipts, be
cause of unfavorable trade reports
from the good markets and advices of
sbrtding of gray goods.
