FRANCIS aaAsLE,s STATEMENT.

Z
Promoter Gives His Version of the Quinlan
Transaction.
ST. LOWS, Feb. 4.-Francis Cradle,
to whom Mr.. William j. Quinlan, Jr..
cashier of the Chemical National bank
Of New York, loaned $a9S,O0O of the
banks money, in consequence of which
Mr.. Quinlan saw fit to resign his posi-
ton as cashier, is now in this city. Nr.
and Mrs. Francis Cradle and Mrs. j.
M. Latimer, the latter the mother of
Mrs. Cradle, are occupying a magnifi-
cent suite of rooms at the Planters ho-
tel in this city. Mr.. Cradle gave out
the following statements 81 have just
read with the deepest pain and regret
of the resignation Of William j. Quin-
Ian, Jr,, cashier of the Chemical Ma
tional bank of New York. 1t is un-
necessary for me to say to any one fa-
miliar with Mr.. Quinlan's sterling in
tegrity that he has never profted from
any of my business transactions with
him. One year ago my obligations to
the bank were $3.50, 900, and six months
ago had paid up every dollar. The
present indebtedness has been incurred
since that time. Mr.. Williams, the.
president Of the Chemical bank, has
beenta stockholder for several years in
one of the townsite companies Or
gained, and has expressed his COM
plete satisfaction with his investment.
1.-THE work have been doing is that
of opening up new country, stretch
ing for 500 miles along the Burlington
line, beginning at Alliance, Neb., and
ending at Billings, Mon, and includ-
ing the branch line of 1OOmiles through
the Black Hills to Deadwood. There
are ~ towns in our territory. I have
built about 800 miles Of canals for irri-
CATION and power purposes and large
number OF storage reservoirs tributary
to these towns, and have thereby opened
up thousands of acres for settlement
and established farming. communities
OF many homes. From the day the Edge
mont and Union Hill Smelling COM
panies We're organized, work has never
ceased. These united companies own
in all over 200 mines near. Deadwood
and the Homestake, smelter and
stamp mill completed, and another
stamp mill and smelter in process of
construction Thousands of feet of de-
velopment work has been done on these
properties, at the cost of hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars. / believe the
mines when fully developed and worked
will prove one of the richest paying
properties in the United States.
! sit has been my constant and earnest
endeavor to bring each of these enter
prises to their highest point of profit to
all the stockholders. Every dollar of
my own money is invested in this work,
and the money of those associated with
me, AID nave felt was based on good
properties that would be of ever increas-
ing value"

THE DAY BEYOND.

When youth is with us, all things seem
But lightly to be wished and won
We snare tomorrow in a dream
And take our toll for work undone.
"For life is long, and time a stream
That sleeps and sparsles in the sun
What need of any haste?" we say.
Tomorrow longer than Today
And when tomorrow shall Gestroy e
The heaven Of our dreams in vain
Our, hurrying manhood we employ
To build the vanished bliss again.
We have no leisure to enjoy.
$50 few the years that yet remain:
So much to do, and, nh!" we say, IS
"Tomorrow's shorter than today
But when our hands are worn and weak
And still our labors seem unblest,
And time goes past us like bleak
Last twilight waning to the west,
"1t is not here the bliss we seek.
Too brief is life for happy rest.
And yet what need of grief?" we say;
'Tomorrow's longer than today"

same time it appears that the popular
talk of immunity is based to a large ex-
tent on no tangible evidence. The best
information available seems to show that
there is no such thing us becoming accli-
mated to the disease. New arrivals in an
infected district suffer more than resi-
dents. On the other hand, with proper
care and nursing, there is really little
more danger from yellow fever than there
is from measles, and it is regarded with
little more dread in countries where it is
epidemic than is the latter disease. OF
course, il people disregard the laws of
health, expose themselves to the night air,
get their clothes soaked through without
changing them and sleep in swamps, they
must expect to suffer for it, whether they
do these things in Illinois or Arkansas or
Cuba. Cuba is not naturally IN unhealthy
country, and has been made so in certain
sections only by the acts of man.

Washington special:
Failure of the commanding officers in
the ~blockading squadron off Havana to
receive orders sent out by the Navy De-
partment several days previous resulted
in the seizure on Thursday even
ing of the French steamer Lafay-
cite. The ship was halted neal Ha-
rama by the gunboat Annapolis and after
being warned not to enter that port was
allowed to proceed. She sailed directly
toward Havana, however, and she was
again stopped and escorted to Key West
by the Wilmington. 1t vas then learned
that special permission to enter Havana
bad been granted her at the request of the
French government, but the blockading
officials had not been notified Of the fact.
She was thereupon released and left for
Havana Immediately.
The steamer sailed from Nazaire and
was filled to the matches with medicines,
provisions, wines and cotton goods con-
signed to merchants in Havana and Vera
Cruz, Mexico. 1t is estimated that the
value of the ships cargo was nearly $780,
600. Her tonnage is 1900 tons. She
touched at Corunna, Spain, April %, two
days after the President issued the block
ade proclamation, although Capt. Lcchap-
ELAINE declared he was not notified.
The Lafayette was held up almost UNI
der the guns OF MORO. The Annapolis
hailed her in the harbor ofting and re-
ceiving 40 answer hut u show of the
French t%ricolor pumped n %six-pounder
across her bows and brought her up
standing. OF the 161 cabin passengers
on the steamer eighty were women and
children. They locked themselves in the
staterooms when the warning shot was
fired and the Annapolis and Wilmington
approached and gave themselves up to
prayers and tears. Most of the passen-
gers were Spaniards or Cuhans. and
there were a few MeNicans. Nearly all
were bound for Havana.

TO OCCUPY THE PHILIPPINES.
Troops to BE Sent There to Hold What
Has Been Taken.

WusuluSlou speCluls
The administration has decided to occu-
py the Philippines with IL strong military
force as soon as possible. For this pur-
pose, Pacific slope troops will be used, and
it is expected that mt least 5000 will be
ell route within the next ten days. There
does not seem to he any doubt as to the
governments purpose to hold these ISL
ands pending a final settlement with
Spain, when they will be used as a collat-
cral to secure the payment to the United
States of a war indemnity. High officials
are of the opinion that none of the powers
will seriously dispute our right to make
such final disposition. In any event, this
government will be prepared to contest
any point which may be raised on this
score.
Commodore Dewey's great victory has
thrown n burden on the United States.
What shall be done with the Philippines
ultimately? If the United States holds
the islands this government at once be-
comes a factor in all the controversies of
the Orient. Many prominent public men
are adverse to this If it can be avoided.

s%paniards Said to Have Killed Chi
cago Tribune Correspondent.
Advices received in Chicago say that
II. j. Whigham, correspondent of the
Tribune, has been captured and shot by
Spaniards in Cuba. Mr.. Whigham, it is
believed, was with Maj. Smiths party
which started out to make a visit to Go
inez's camp. There were a number of 9TH
er newspaper correspondents in the little
detail which took such great chances in
order that the insurgent leader might be
made acquainted with the latest phases of
the war situation and that the public
might be supplied with news as to his
plans and movements. 1t is almost GER
tain that the Spanish would have treated
the entire corps as spies and have visited
death upon every member of it. The
death of Smith, who belonged to the Go
me- bodyguard, is announced us a fact,
and not a rumor. That his companions
succeeded in getting away unscathed is
deemed exceedingly unlikely and not in
accord with the Castilian's idea of war.

LITTLE FEAR OF FEVER.
Danger from "Yellow Jack"

Danger from "Yellow Jack" Has
Been Greatly Exaggerated.
The prospect of sending American
troops to Cuba during the yellow fever
season gives special interest and import
ance to IL report by DIR. II. w. Drummer,
United States marine hospital inspector
at Havana, who left that city with Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee IL short time ago. From
reading this report and from other sources
it is evident that the danger from yellow
fever has been much exaggerated. At the
