A Sucker a Minute

The credulity of mankind in general and
of investors in wildcat mining schemes In
particular Is well illustrated by the replies
to fake advertisement inserted in the
February and March numbers of the Min
Ing and Industrial Reporter. The manage
ment of that publication devised plan to
test the public on matters of spurious min
Ing schemes, the object being to ascertain
Just what credence would be PLACED in an
advertisement which on its face reads like
a fairy tale. Some of the inquiries received
deal seriously with the proposition; others
are partially skeptical and few really see
the fakish nature of the prospectus The
advertisement stated that a dividend of
per cent would be declared on June to the
stockholders Of the Klondike and Cuba Ice
Towing and Anti-Yellow Fever company.
The plan of the company was stated to be
to tow icebergs from Klondike to Cuba and
thereby make enormous profits for the fol-
lowing reasons: 1T costs very little to do
the towing, the ice can be sold to cities
along the ocean route, such as Calcutta,
Valparaiso and Toxic, and the yellow fever
cold storage hospitals will pay wonderful
profits at the rate of 900 per patient and
one iceberg will cure 419 yellow fever cases
according to the most reliable and conser-
vative European medical statistics The
advertisement further stated that gigan-
tic mesh would surround the bergs and as
the latter melted. catch all the gold which
had been frozen up. The company 1t was set
forth, had located number of bergs that
assay from $1.27 to $62S.19 to the cubic yard.
"This gold" it went on to say ''has hith-
erto all been eroded by glacial action from
the Klondike gold ledges and carried to sea,
where 1t has been lost to mankind like ship
wrecked vessels" The capital stock was
placed at ten millions, with one million cash
In the treasury. Other promises and sta
tistics which to an ordinary man would
seem to be based on rare air, were set forth
in big black type. Many were the replies
received from all parts of the country. A.
T. HARRIET of Tin Cup asked for prospectus
and circular, as he thought he could sen a
little stock in his community Edward l..
Bryans of Spokane, Wash, writes that he
"means business and wants circulars at
once George A. Cunningham of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company says that
"there is not the least doubt but that it is

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 12.-The
charge filed with the naval officers at
Key West, notice of which has been tel
egraphed here. that the French steamer
Lafayette had aboard OF her expert
enced gunners In the service Of Spain,
and that these gunners were landed at
Incident Of the Lafayette's recent cap
ture and release. 1t IL not improbable
that an accounting will be had, with the
United States as the aggrieved party.
The Lafayette was taken while boldly
attempting, without explanation, to run
the Havana blockade. Her commander
Indignantly denied that he wns convey
ing Spanish troops, and because of pre-
arrangement, by which the vessel was
given the courtesy of the sea, she was
released upon assurance that her visit
to Cubn was purely one OF private con-
cern, and in the line OF commercial busl-
ness. t,5

touching on Intervention. This state
ment Is made in the most specific man
ner BY French and German officials.
They ore beginning to feel considerable
annoyance at these oft-repeated reports
and they are inclined to attach some
significance to the fact that all OF them
emanate from London. In at least one
embassy Of continental power, this
tendency at London has received Off
cial attention and the notice OF the
state department has been drawn to 1t
during an official interview. Both the
German and French authorities feel
that their declaration of neutrality
should be received In good faith and
without the frequent intimat!on that
they are about TO Intervene to defeat
the ends OF the United States.
Far Fetched Reports.
AS showing how far-fetched such re-
ports are an@ambassadosss stated to-
night that Intervention along the lines
suggested by the cable dispatches from
London would be so clearly against
American interests as to amount to q
casus belli. Being one OF the four am
bassadors at Washington. he was in a
position to state that there was no
truth In the publication at. London, ca
bled to this country, that the ambassa-
dors have made joint representation to
Secretary Day concerning the occupa-
tion OF the Philippines. Judge Day
treated the report as purely fanclful
and dismissed It by remarldng that
nothing whatever OF that kind had oc-
CURED.
There IS no doub. that Germany,
France and Great Britain are sending
their warships to the Philippines, but
this IS said to be natural movement,
for the protection OF the citizens and
property OF these countries and not
with any purpose of aggression or Of
interruptlng the plans Of the United
States. The French government has the
cruiser Bruix at Manila. the British
government has two warshlps and Ger
many will soon have several ships
there. These are drawn from the pow
erful squadron which European powers
maintain in Aslatlc waters.
The German fleet in these waters con-
sists OF eight ships under Admiral Hoff-
man, with Prince Henry as second in
command. The British fleet consists OF
thirty-one ships under Admiral Sir E.
II. Seymour. The Russians have TWEEN
ty-two ships and the French eleven
ships In AslatIc waters. With these
formidable squadrons near the Philip
pines It Is not a subject. of surprise or
apprehension that some OF these ships
should be centered at Manila when 1t
is the seat of the greatest naval en-
gagement of recent years.

spread throughout a portion OF the
vast lumber district around Twenty
