ILOILO , I'anay , 1' I , Nov 13 ( Corre-
Bpotidtnco of the Associated 1'rpss ) The
geographical disposition of the ( elands nnd
toast fine near Hello and the proximity
of the Insurgent forces In need of provisions
and contraband nf war made the smuggling
nnd blockade running ot stores and muni
tions from Hello to the rcbelR n possible nnd
profitable Industry In Hello then ? wpro
ninny men riady and anxious to engngo In
IV'T opupation , for the profits to be dc-
ritc'il from the sureostiful landing of a cargo
of rife , kerosene and matches In rebel terri
tory were largo and , until thu navy took
the matter of Its suppression strongly In
liand , the attendant ilsk of capture was
not great enough to deter men of an ad-
\cnluroiis turn of mind Hut now It Is
not so easy the Concord and the two gun
boats , Paraguay rind Pampanga , have been
exercising great vigilance over this smug
gling nnd the man who can run a caigo today
IB either very skillful or very lucky
Thrco miles south of Hello and forming
the southern shelter of Iloilo bay Is the
Island of Guknaras It Is twentj-flve miles
long nnd about ten wide nnd thus , skirting
thu southern shores of Pnnaj , it forms "Ho
llo straits , " which must be traversed bj
nil vessels coming to this port. Gulmaras
Is not American teirltorj , and this only
because wo have never attempted to occupj
It. The Inhabitants of the Island , Komo 10-
DOO , are Vlsajans and they would be very
Rlad of the protection of the United States
As U Is , they are subject to the raids ot
Insurgents from Pnnaj , who cotno over nnd
levj n tribute of nionej anil food and mnko
use of Gulmaias as n way station for pro-
vlslons between Hello and the Insurgent
territory Immediately BUI rounding It Hun-
nlng north from Hello thp coast ot Panny
Is full of bays , inlets and small Islands , all
of which are helps to thu smuggler nnd
serve ) to render the work of our patiolllng
gunboats cnoro difficult.
Pornu'i 1 } 21 Miiiimcr HcNort.
Gulmaras Island Is full ot miniature val-
lejs nnd mountains and from the sea Its
nspect is most pleasing , It was formerly n
impnlar pleasure resort ; paitles were taken
up for Sunday excursions acrdss the hir-
bor to Gulmaras , and foreign residents had
Imngalows and summer homes theie. The
Island produces primarily lime , which Is
essential In the extracting of sugar from
the cane , nnd , secondlj , it was the truck
garden for Ilnllo ; milk , fruit , chickens and
vegetables came over eich morning to the
Hello market In exchange , Gulaiaras drew
the supplj of rice from Hello
Gulmaras , not being insurgent territorj ,
was a proper market for rice and other pro-
vlblons to bo used by the Inhibltants of the
Island , and then it was but n short step
back to Panay , now the insurgent torrltorj ,
where rlco was in great demand The boitb
used in this traffic are known locally as
proas. The proa Is a narrow canoe with wide
bamboo outriggers on each side H is pro
pelled by a square lateen ball and steered
by n rudder dragging over the starboard
fitcrn which the helmsman cleverly manipu
lates with his feet. It ranges In length from
twenty to eighty feet and with a good wind
stern cnn easily distance pur coast patrol.
The neaiby island of Ne-gros also offered
a good , excuse for smuggling into Panay.
Negros Is at peace and all her coast towns
nro occupied by American troops , hence
merchants in Hello have a tight to clear
schooners with provisions to points on Ne-
gros. To reach Negros ships pass out the
northern entrance , of Iloilo straits , between
Gulramns nnd the mainland A schooner ,
bent on smuggling and cleared for Negros ,
will coast along Pnnay , watching for n slant
of wind to carry her over If no gunboats
nro in sight tbo same wind will carry her
humming into some bay on Pnnay , near the
Insurgent town of Donate , for Instance ,
vvhero her cargo can be sold at such good
profit that the schooner can bo beached
until theoo troublous times are over , or
even buined.
Mnny n coasting schooner Is missing from
Hello ports today and the merchant ovvne.ru
naively declare they fear they may bo lost.
Or , if the hchooncr finds no chancu to get
into Panny , she will continue on to Ncgros
nnd unload with nil the earmarks of han-
estjPioni ceitaln points on Negros it Is
only a two hours' sail to Panay
ClIllllOlltH llOOOMIC VVlllfllflll.
This method was possible because our gar
risons on Negros are small Manj town ?
liavo but 41 dozen or HO American boldleis
und It Is Impossible ] for these men to watch
long reaches of coast well cut up Into linjs
nnd liiletf This , then , was the Held foi

Panaj , and the field was actively occupied
when our navy , represented by the Concord

TROUBLE OVER THE FRIARS

MANILA , Jan. 2 0 r , p m Archbishop
Chapelli , the papal delegate to the Philip
pines , arrived here today on the United
States transport Sherman , which sailed from
Sin rranclMo December 8 Ho will lodge
In the house formerly occupied by Charles
Donby of the Philippine advisory commis
sion. This action on the part of Senor Cha-
pelle Bottles the content between the various
friar brotherhoods In Manila , who separately
have been using their Inlluenco to obtain
the privilege ot entertaining the archbishop ,
and Hev Kather McKlnnon , late ot the Cali
fornia volunteers and now a regular army
chaplain , who was also a passenger on the
Sherma.i It Is slid that the friars are striv
ing to fiectire Mgr. Clnpelle'e eai for the
purpose of bocurlng better protection for In
dividual interests.
The arrival of the papal delegate directs
attention to the question of the church nnd
the brotherhoods In the Philippines , Inciud-
ItiK the matters of deciding the brother
hood's claim to real estate and other prop
erty of the church receiving state support
and of the re-cntabllshment of Spanish cu
rates In natlvo parishes By the appoint
ment of Mur. Ch ipolle as Archbishop No-
/aleda's successor the Filipinos and Span-
la ! ds feel that steps will be taken In these
momentous ) matteis which may bring Infinite
good or evil to the isl inds Csiiseaueiitly
Chapelle's actions will bo closely watched
and fully discussed
All classes of the brotherhoods arc anxious
to hend representatives to thu parishes in
the provinces reccntlj occupied by thu Amer
icans This matter will soon bo brought to
Mgr Chapelle's attention and his aid In this
connection will be solicited. Inasmuch as
the n.unstlon of the expulsion ot the brother
hoods from the islauds nnd the freedom ot
the people from the alleged Injustice ot
members of the orders has alvvajs been de
clared to be the principal cause of the revolt
of the Pillplnos against Spain's soveielgntj- ,
long-time residents of the Islands declare
that If the frlarn are returned to their former
parishes the natives , seeing them return un
der American administration , will surely at
tack and kill them and otherwise cause dis
order
Revolutionists having started the rumor
that Mgr. Chapello Intends eventually to
iccommend the appointment of Father Mc
Klnnon as archbishop of the Philippines , the
lattcr's defense of the brotherhoods in the
American newspapers has been translated
and circulated among the natives for the
purpose , it Is declared , of showing that
Kather McKlnnon will support the brother
hoods If he Is selected. Such statements as
these create uneasiness among the natives ,
which Is Increased by recent news received
fiom Spain to the effect that Mgr. Chapelle
will support the brotherhood ? .
The Tagalos , It IB declared , have become
more embittered against the church since
Aichlbshop Nozaleda pxcommiinlcated an In
surgent priest and It is said the number ot
Protestant marriages among the natives con
tinually increases

CHICAGO. Jnn. 2 At 0 o'clock this
morning \\ntcr was turnctl Into the $13,000-
000 dialnngo cnnnl and began to How to
ward Lockport , where It will fall Into th'j
Desplalnes river , and thcnco through the
Illinois mi < l .Mississippi rlvort to the gulf.
What Is termed by the catml engineers the
"collateral channel" has been for some
tltno completed from tbo Chicago river In
the southwestern part of the city to within
fifteen feet of the main channel of the
canal This flftccn-foot wall of earth ,
with two slulco gates behind It , has been
all that has kept the Chicago river and
Like .Michigan out of the cnnal At 10
o'clock Mondaj night a steam dredge began
to cut awa > this wall of earth , and a few
minutes before 0 o'clock today the water
In the collateral ch.inncl was against the
sluice gates and only a few Inches of timber
remained to be removed before Chicago wo1 ?
to reillzo Its dream of jears and see the
great canal In actual operation When
the water began to back up against the
sluice gatcH the timbers were knocked away
and the llrst water from the Chicago rl\er
ran Into the canal.
The engineers of thesanltaiy district
have cut a channel to carry 300,000 cubic
feet of water a minute , but today the
water was allowed to flow Into the canal at
the rate of only fiO.OOO cubic feet a minute.
The effect of turning 300,000 cubic feet of
water a minute Into the empty canal would
be like the bursting of a reservoir and
would tear away every bridge over the
canal and wreck thp controlling works at
Lockport. Therefore , the witer will be
tinned in gradually 1'iobably a week
will elapse before the canal Is full of water
and Is earning nw.\y sewage- that now
Hews Into the Chicago rlvei. An occasion
that might have been made one of the most
memorable In the eventful history of Chicago
cage was suffered to pass by unimproved
because , the trustees of the Binltary dis
tricts were Intent only on theli one great
aim the opening of the cinal. Aside from
the trustees and the engineers of the- board ,
there were less than a dozen spectators
present.
Work of Vnmt IiiiliorliuuM' .
Probably no work has ever been under
taken by anj other state or municipality
which , from Its very Inception , was designed
to do so much for the nav Igablo and com
mercial interests of the countrj as the Chicago
cage canal The requlioment of law which
compelled the cui.stiuctiou of rock sections
to meet the domandB of the next genera
tion was wise , for It has laid the foundation
of a mammoth ship canal connecting the
great lakes with the Mississippi river and
the gulf and saving the sanltiiy district of
Chicago and the federal government the
greater expense that would in the future
bo necessary 'n rock excavation and blasting
under the flowing water. The canal , if con
fined by law to the single requirement of
disposing of Chicago's sewage could have
been constructed for from $12,000,000 to $11-
000,000 , sp the sanitary district can justlj
claim to have expended at least $20,000,000
in the direction of the great navigable
waterway
The proceedings of congress will thow
that In the last 100 jears petitions and de
mands for congressional appropriations for
harbors and canals and public Improve
ments no petitioning city or community has
contributed for purelj commercial pur
poses 5 per cent of the amount which this
tanltary district has contributed toward
the commercial waterway to connect the
great lakes with the Gulf of Mexico.
( rent UniciucvrliiK Triumph.
As an engineering triumph the great In
terest in the Chicago caml lies in the fact
that it disposes of the sewage of this city
In a manner contrary to the laws of nature
and contrary to the laws of gravltj.
While tbo Chicago river his been deep
ened and widened In order to inciease its
How and capacity , the canal itself , properly
speaking , begins at the south branch of the
Chicago river at Uobey street and con
tinues southward as an entirely artlflci.il
channel until It reaches the controlling
works at Lockport , a distance of twenty-
eight miles of entirely artiflclal construc
tion
The fall from the mouth of the Chicago
river to the Lockpoit works and bo It re
membered that henceforth the Chlcigo river
will flow up stream , as commonly under
stood is only seven feet , so that the ( low
of water in rapidity and volume through
the Chicago river to tbo canal Is entlrclj
controlled by the bear trap dam and con
trolling works situated at the Lockpoit
terminus , the fall south of the controlling
works being abrupt and about forty feet In
the next four miles It , Is bj means of these
controlling works that the water was turned
down the valley bj the simple eocning of
the great gates or valves aw. H Is also by
means of the controlling works that the
waters down the valley can be as suddenly
turned off In case emergencies ml ht
demand Therefore , the popular belief that
the waters of the canal having been once
turned down the vallcj the How must bo
unceablng and beyond human control Is er
roneous , for the How of this great volume
of 300,000 cubic feet per minute can be
htrppcd almost as easily as the simple turnIng -
Ing of a faucet In the spigot of a barrel.
\Vorl. of SIM I'llfiliN. .
The first work In this great enterprise was
begun on "Shovel day , " September S , 1S9J ,
on the rock cut below Lci.iont on the line
between Cook anilill counties , ho that u
little ovct seven years have been consumed
In Uio entire work , involving an outlay of
about $33,000,000 Over SO pel cent of the
entire work was done during the so-called
panic period , and , owing to this fact , the
entire cost of construction was reduced about
$8,000,000 , Indeed , the board of trustees
and Its englnoern are unanimous In the be
lief that the work could not now be dupli
cated under existing prices for both labor
and material for less than $10.000.000.
Up to the present time. and. Indeed tor

Is to bo built to scud the purpose until
arrangements can bo completed for the
erection ot a permanent structure. Tour
trains will bo stopped dally at this depot

the same as at the depot In Omaha. It Is
expected that when the depot Is ready for
occupancy some arrangement will be made
for carrjlng passengers and baggage to

sidered rithcr expensive , by the properj !
owners and It Is understood that an cffoit
will bo mule to Induce nearby property
owners who have bluff tracts to arrange
with contractors for cheap dlit with which
to make thu big (111 ( between Twentieth and
Tw out j-second streets To open N1 street
will cost n great deal more than it will to
grade M street. The decision remains wlih
the property owners If the M street resi
dents got to woik llrst and nrrango for the
grading upon which estimates have been
made M street will be the thoroughfiro to
the river , otherwise the chances are In
favoi of N stieot.

EXCELLENT RESULTS.
They Have Resulted in a Steady
Gain of Popularity.
People Who arc Ever Rcndy to Ro-
commcnd What lias Done
Thorn .Much Good.
The people of Omaha feel very grateful
for the great benefit they have received from
the use ot Morrow's Kld-ne-olds , the great
remedj for backache , dizziness , sleepless-
r.oss. nervousness and all dlsoaser arlBluq
from the kldnejs. Morrow 'a Kid-ne-ojds cure
iv hero other remedies have failed and the
people of this city have not been slow to
find this out , and they add their testimony
that their friends may know what to use
and get cured.
Mrs. H. C. Rosers , 40D North Hth St. ,
says : 'Tor the past three or four jears 1
have been suffering from kidney backache ,
also with pells of severe headaches , nerv
ousness , dizziness and urinary trouble * }
of an annoying nature. I secured aome nt
Morrow's Kld-ne-olds and followed the di
rections closely In a few days all the sjmp-
toms were greatlj relieved. The backache
disappeared , and the other troubles leca
annoying I will continue to use Kld-ne-
olds , for I know tbejwill cure mo In a
short time. "
Morraw's Kld-ne-olds are not pills , but
Yellow Tablets and sell at fifty cents a box
at all drug stores and at the Myers-Dillon
Drug Go's Store.
