The DISECTOR OF FUBLIC WORKS-Sir, the reply to the third question is:-Triat works are in progress at the head of Tytam Bay for the purpose of ascertaining the nature and lovel of the solid bottom with a view to con structing a storege reservoir them. The site tentatively selected for the dam is, at low water mark, about 700 yurda 8. E. of Tyton Tuk village. Three brick wells are being sak which show the nature of the strels overlying the rock, and will permit of the rock itself being examined. The wells are supplemented by numerous borings, from which a chart of the rock bottom can be prepared. The furthest advenced well extends from 12 feet above to, 49. *feet below, low water, and it is believed to be within 6 feet of the rock. It is only setting about an inch per day at the present time. although it weight, together with the load an top of it, 115 tons, as is kept undermined by constant pamping and excavating. The ternal load is already comewhat in the way of the work, but steps are being taken to increase it, as the b. st means of overcoming the retarding friction due to the lateral pressure of the sur
Bo far, indicetions are not rounding earth, anfavourable to the ultimate adoption of this site for the dam. A dam 900 feet in length, on this site, with an overfor at height of 60 feet abova low water, would impound about 1,200,0:0,000 gallons, or about two and a half times the aggregate capacity of all the present storage reservoirs. It would intercept the rais. fall from a direct-catchment ares of about 2,300 aorea. This includes 700 aores the rainfall at which is intercepted by the Tytum reservoir as long as it is not overflowing. The available catchment area would be very much increased by the inclusion and extension of the present catchwater system. The lower part of the Tytam Valley bas been-minutely surveyed, and a chart has been prepared (laid on the table) from which the capacity of any proposed: reservoir situated anywhere between low water. level and the 200 feeb contour can be calcu- Inted. By means of this chart the line of proposed road, to connect the new reservoir with the Tytam Reservoir, has been marked out, and a trucs is now being out with a risy to preparing working drawings for the construction of the road. The rising muffs from the pumpe at Tytam Tnk to the Tytam tuuhelin order to enable the work to be carried out this will be laid along this road. A contract has been e entered into for the supply of duplicate pumping | engines, ench capable of delivering, 1,250,000 gallons daily from the new reservoir into the Tytam Tonnel. I might mention, air, that the construction of a new reservoir, in the bye-wash
channel of the Tytare Reservoir, was com menced 35 months ago, and is pow well advanced. It will be partly available_this
season.
When completed at will bold about 30,000,000 gallons and it may be filled more than once in a year.
The reply to the fourth question is;—A small reservoir has born commenced, in the bed of a perennial stream about half way between Taitam Tak and the Taitam Reservoir. A temporary pump will be erected at this point, capable of delivering 500,000 gallons per day into the Taitam Tunnel. Should the Taitam Reservoir cease to overflow by the let of September this year, the pump may be depended upon to deliver about 100,000,000 gallons during the ensuing dry seascu, The permanent pumping engines at Taitam Tuk will afterwards be connected with this reservoir, and will pomp from it until the large reservoir has been partly erected. A temporary main is how being laid from the reservoir to the Tailam Tannel.

The matter has been made the subject of communications to Government from several quarters, among others from the Chamber of Commerce. Varions measures have been taken to stop stowing away, but all hitherto doun has been insufficient to countervail the exceptional temptations to introduce Chinese into the Philippines.
In one case, that of the Kaifong, no less than 134 stowaways were found concealed on the vessel on her arrival at Cebu, a port in the Philippines. The ship's officers made a timely discovery of the stowawage, and reported the matter to the American Authorities, so escaping a very heavy fine for a breach of the stringent laws against the introduction of Chineso into the Islands. As it was, great delay and expense to the ship were 'occasioned, and the owners were obliged to enter into a bond for $70,000 gold to take the stowaways back to Hongkong,

For statistics showed that the population of this empire was increasing so fast that the question of finding means of subsistence became very pressing, and 50 far as could be seen the only satisfactory courro was to keep the continent of Asia, namely, Manchuria, open to Japanese immigration, which could not be achieved if that region passed finally into the possession of Russia. The Japanese military and naval forces were ready for the encounter. Some publicistaspoke of frauss as a stumbling block. He regarded that as altogether a secondary issue.
