Column endured great hardships. Killed 13 insurgents and captured captain and four men. Surrenders in Batangas. Manila, Jan. 13.—Colonel Marisen- gan, Major Cabrera and a renegade priest named Castillo, who stole a valuable image of the Virgin from a church, for which he obtained a large sum of money, have surrendered un conditionally to General Bell, who is conducting the campaign against the insurgents in Batangas Province. They had control of the District of ToaeJ, extending westward to the sea, including the towns of Banan and Guenoa. The agreement is that the chiefs shall absolutely surrender every man and gun in their district. It is estimated that 160 guns will be turned in. Many men and guns have been captured during the past few days, and small engagements occur dally. General Bell visited the city for four hours today, and had a con- ferrence with General Chaffee. He says the present campaign is secur ing valuable results, and that it is pos sible Malavar, the insurgent leader, will surrender next week. The United States Commission has appropriated $2,500,000 for insular ex penses during the first quarter of the year. Admiral Tschoukhnine, with the Russian warships, has arrived here. NEARLY UNANIMOUS. House Passes the Original Canal Bill by a Vote of 308 to 2. Washington, Jan. 10.—The Hep burn Nicaragua Canal bill passed the House late yesterday afternoon by practically a unanimous vote. Only two members out of 310 voted against it. The opposition to committing the Government to the Nicaragua route attempted to secure amendments to lodge with the President the discre tionary power to purchase and com plete the Panama Canal, if it could be purchased for $40,000,000. The test C8me on the first vote, when the advo cates of an alternative route polled 102 against 170 votes. At each suc ceeding vote their strength dwindled until Cannon (Rep.. Ill.), under whose leadership the fight was carried on, was unable to get the aye and no vote on a motion to recommit. All other amendments failed, and the bill was passed exactly as it came from the committee. None of the votes, ex cept that on the final passage of the bill, was a record vote. The bill as passed today authorizes the President to secure from the states of Costa Rica and Nicaragua, in be half of the United States, control of such a portion of the territory belong ing to said states as may be desirable and necessary, on which to excavate, construct and protect a canal suitable to the wants of modern navigation and commerce and appropriate such a sum as may be necessary to secure the control of said territory. Section 2 authorizes the President after securing control of the needed territory, to direct the Secretary of War to construct such a canal from the Caribbean Sea, at a point near Greytown, in Nicaragua, by way of Lake Nicaragua, to a point on the Pacific ocean near Brito, and also to construct proper harbors at the ter mini of said canal and to make nec essary provisions for the defense of the canal and harbors. Sections 3 and 4 authorizes the President to make such surveys as may be necessary and to employ such persons in constructing the canal as may to him seem wise, and directs that in the construction of the canal the river San Juan and Lake Nica ragua shall be used as far as they are available. Section 5 authorizes the President to guarantee to the states of Costa Rica and Nicaragua the use of the canal and the harbors upon terms to he agreed upon for vessels owned by cHIzens thereof. The last section makes a present appropriation of $10,000,000 to carry on this work and authorizes the Sec retary of War to enter proper con tracts for material and work as may ho deemed necessary therefor, such work and material to be paid for as appropriations mav he made from time to time. The section fixes the aggre gate cost at $180,000,000. to be drawn from the treasury on warrants of the President. HISTORY OF GOLD SUPPLY. SMASH IN A TUNNEL. Fifteen Persons Killed end Thirty or More Injured in a New York Wreck. New York, Jan. 10.—In the New York Central tunnel, that burrows un der Park avenue, this city, two local trains collided today. Fifteen passen gers were kilted and twice that num ber were injured. A dozen of the lat ter were seriously hurt, and the roster of the dead may be extended. It was a rear-end collision between the South Norwalk local, that ran over the New Y’ork, New Haven & Hartford road, and was halted by block signals at the southern entrance of the tunnel, and a White Plains lo cal, that came by the Harlem branch of the New York Central. The wreck occurred at 8:17 a. m., at which hour the trains are crowded by suburban ites. Most of the deaths, injuries and damage was caused by the engine of the White Plains train, which plunged into the rear car of the mo tionless train, and was driven through to the middle of the car, smashing the seats and splitting the sides as it moved forward. The victims either were mangled in the mass of wreck age carried with the pilot, crushed in the space between the boiler and car sides, or scalded by steam, which came hissing from broken pipes and cylinder». The engine, in its final plunge of forty feet, carried the rear car forward and sent twisted iron, broken timbers and splinters crashing into the coach ahead. Lights were ex tinguished and from the wreckage and darkness came the cries of injured and calls for assistance by those who escaped. Within a few minutes the work of rescue, marked by heroism and sacrifice, began. Alarms that brought every available ambulance in the city, the police reserves of five precincts and the firemen of the cen tral eastern district of Manhattan were sounded at once. With police, firemen and surgeons came a score of volunteer physicians and half a dozen clergymen. Ladders were run down the tunnel air shafts and the firemen and police attacked the debris with ropes and axes. The passengers al ready had rallied and were trying to release those imprisoned in the de bris. ALASKA SHIP LOST. Captain and Six of Crew Went Down with Her—Was a Collier. Vancouver, B. C., Jan. 10.—News oi another marine disaster was brought from the north this evening by the steamer City of Seattle, arriving from Skagway. The steamer Bristol, one of the oldest and best-known carriers of the coast, lies a wreck on the end of Green island, forty miles from Port Simpson, and her captain, with six members of the crew, have gone to the bottom with her. The steamer was on her way from Ladysmith, Van couver island, to the Treadwell mine on Douglas island, Alaska, with 2500 tons of coal. She was wrecked on the night of January 2, and is now nearly out of sight at high tide. Pas sengers arriving tonight by the Se attle give complete accounts of the disaster. Green island lies right in the route of Alaska steamers, and, being low and small, is Impossible to see on a dark night. The steamer was trying to make Dixon entrance in a rough sea when she went aground. It was 11 o’clock when she struck, and seas washed over her stern. The captain ordered out the boats. Three were safely launched and got away in the darkness. The fourth was probably smashed against the side of the ship. It has not been found, and there is no trace of it, or of the seven men who were to have gone aboard, and for whom all hope has been given up. No Reply from Castro. Berlin, Jan. 10.—The attention of the foreign office has been directed to the recurrence of statements to the effect that Germany is about to send an ultimatum to Venezuela. The for eign office has again informed the correspondent here of the Associated Press that a reply from President Castro, of Venezuela, to the note hand ed him January 2 by the German charge d’affaires at Caracas has not yet been received; that Germany will give Castro a reasonable time in which to reply, and that she has no disposition to unduly press the presi dent of Venezuela. Enlarging the Drainage Canal. Chicago. Jan. 10.—Members of the drainage board will leave for Wash ington Saturday afternoon to ask con gress for an appropriation of $200,000. to be used by the government engin eers in making a survey and estimate of cost for an eight, ten, twelve and fourteen-foot waterway to connect the drainage canal with St. Louis.

Contains Nitro-Glycerine and Has Proven to Be Very Destructive. Oakland!! Cal., Jan. 8.—B. C. Pettin- gell, of this city, has invented a nitro glycerine projectile, which, if the claims of the inventor hold good will prove of great importance. The mech anism of the invention is a secret, and ePttingell is now negotiating with the United States government for the sale of the device. The matter will be con sidered by the ordnance department today. , The invention, Pettingell says, is a shell that will carry without the least concussion from 50 to 200 pounds of glycerine oil as far as the ordinary shell can be fired by ordinary modern ordnance. The concussion necessary to project the shell, he says, is by his device reflected back to the sides of the shell, so that the glycerine oil is not disturbed in the least. Thankj of Congreaa to Schley.
