WITHOUT WARNING
Last of a Series of Accidents Which
Have Claimed Nearly Two Hundred
Persons in the Neighborhood of Chi

San Antonio, Tex., May 3. A special
from Chihuahua, Mexico, Bays:
Without an instant's warning, the
great walls of the Chivuscar dam gave
way yesterday, engulfing , nearly forty
men under the enormous weight of
masonry and water, between fifteen and
twenty of whom are dead, thirteen in
jured and others unaccounted for. Some
of the injured will die. ,
The disaster is the last of a large
number which have recently claimed
nearly 200 victims in this state, and
mostly in the neighborhood of Chihua
hua. The authorities are making a
thorough investigation into the present
catastrophe and will thoroughly punish
those upon whom they place the blame.
According to the version of the af
fair which was reported here, the men
were working on a foundation close to
the foot of the main ramparts of the
iam, which had already been con
structed, The main wall was weak, and gave
way under the water pressure.
The dam was being put in for irri
gation and &tock-watering purposes, and
was a 'large enterprise.
'The loss will be heavy. All the .vic
tims were Mexicans.

PACT COVERING
TRADE RELATIONS
GERMANY
Terms of the New Agreement1
With Kaiser Made,
Public.
LIMITS LIST OF ARTICLES -TO
BE ADMITTED FREE
Under last Section of Document Presi
dent Will Recommend to Congress
the Allowance of a io Per Cent Mar
gin ia Cases of Undervaluation.
Washington, D. C, May 3. The
"project of commercial agreement" be
tween American and Germany, which is
to govern the trade relations of the two
countries for an indefinite period, is
composed of four distinct portions.
In the first place there is the "agree
ment" itself, which extends to Germany
the reductions of duty authorized on all
of the articles mentioned in the third
section of the Dingley act. This in fact
amounts simply to the addition of
champagnes and sparkling wines to the
list of articles upon which Germany al
ready has reduced rates. In 1890 the
total imports into America of Ger
many .champagne were 9,236 dozen
quarts valued at $93,973.
The reduction of duty of this cham
pagne at $2 per bottle would conse
quently amount to a little oven $18,000
which is the monetary value of the con
cession to Germany, -supposing the trade
does not .greatly increase, as, of course,
is to be expectej. It is a matter of in
terest to note that the importation of
French champagne last year amounted
to 381.000 dozen quarts valued at 85.
613.000. Other articles of the fundamental
agreement provide for the speedy appli
cation of the new rates; to their ex
tension to the whole of the custom ter
ritories of the parties, and to the con
cession of a list of American articles
upon which minimum rates will apply
on importation into Germany.
The second part of the agreement is
detailed statement of the list of aTticles
above referred 4to. At present all Amer
ican product 'are admitted into Ger
many at minimum' "tariff rates. Here
after, raider this new agreement, only
the articles specified may be so admlttiid.
It is stated that, in fact, the list com
prises 97 1-2 per cent, of the Ameeicau
ports into Germany and appears gener
ally speaking, to comprise grains, fruit,
timber, meats (except bacon), petroleum,
glassware, railroad iron (not mention
ing rails), steam and gas engines, phono
graphs, vehicles, small arms, locks,
watches and parts thereof, and muata
boxes and organs. General machinery)
and typewriters now on the list of im
port, are subjected to maximum rates.
The third section of the agreement
comprises the draft of a proposed note
enrbodying changes to be made in the
existing American instructions to cus
toms and consular officers. Tlie.se changes
are not limited in their operation to
German imports, but are applicable to
imports into America from many other
countries.
The last section of the document is
an undertaking by the President to re
commend to Congress the amendment of
section 32 of the Dingley act to as to
allow a 10 per cent, margin in the case
of undervaluations before penalty shall
be imposed upon the importer.
