Almost tho entire dredging force has been concentrated on the slide in order to hasten the com). let ion of the required depth of tho channel.

"Shortly afterward all three prisoners were killed by gunshot wounds. "The inly bullet found in his (Tikas) body was of a kind not used lv the soldiers, although the two other vounds might have been made by Springfield rifle bullets of the uniformed men."
