It has been translated into ail natiVedialect-x and is to be disseminated throughout the archipelago. The salient points of the address which has been pre- ared by the President's order are these:â€" ft assures the population of the Philippine Islands of the intention of the Americans to deveiop the powers of self-government in the people. It explains that the United States has assumed international obliqu- tions which it mustfulfll, and which umke it responsible to the whole civilized world for the smblegivermnent of tha Philip- pines.

The country is in a state of most intense excitement. \Vhite .men collected in mobs, heavily armed, and determined, and negroes tied for their lives. Frequent murders have recently occurred in that section and fights have become very common afl'airs. One or two negroes have previously been severely dealt with when the people found it necessaryto take the law in their own hands, but it was not until Tuesday that the trouble assumed a serious aspect. It then developed that carefully laid plans had been made by a number of negroes to precioirate a race war. and that many white men had been marked for victims.

For some days it was noticed that the roof on the west side was sea tling but no serious results were anticipated. The heavy weight of snow, soaked with rain, was more than the arches could stand.

At a recent two~ days session of the council, their engineers and the contractors it was decided to use aluminum wire instead. On the 3800“ pounds required a saving: will be effected of $1500. The wire will be about a third thicker but weiihs less than halfas much, so that althoug it costs nearly twice as much per pound as copper, the total cost will be less. The lightness will allow a saving in poles also, for these can be 'put much farther apart when aluminum is used. A span of 260 feet is allowable.
