Seizures.

WASHINGTON, May ia telegram
to solicitor Wilson from Milwaa-

les seized in that city there We're
found subterranoan tanks with a ca
pacity Of twenty-five thousand gal
Ions. This is strong conirmatory
evidence of illicit production and the
wisdom Of the seizure. Ia three Of
the ST. Louis distilleries seized SINH
lar con6rmatory evidence was found
in secret entrances to the cistern
room, and in the fourth the keeper
was bribed and the books burned.
The examination Of the vouchers
and returns of the whiskey distilled
and rectiied at Cincinnati and

made, and the seizure will be made
in a day or two. 1t was the inteu-
ton of the authorities to make the
seizure there to-day, but it has been
delayed in order to examine some ad-
ditional papers that have come 10
hand. Thus far no evidence has
been found showing frauds in Clevc-
