No Truth In Him.

Some very tough things have
been said about Ardmore's jail
aud we have helped do it, but
we stated facts as they arose
and told the truth. Now the
guy who gets off the following
(supposed) conversation with a
Territory criminal, should make
one more trip to the pen and
be made to don the stripes. 1t
is taken from the Wichita Bea-
con and is full fedged. dyed
in-the-wool, concentrated lie.
The jail at Ardmore is the
space between two brick build
ings and is enclosed by walls
across the front and rear of the
lot. A roof partially covers the
enclosure. The gabl ends are
open and a driving rain or
snow storm vets the interior.
The mud of the dirt floor is of
ten ankle deep. Under this
shed and in the mud the federal
prisoners awaiting trial are
herded by guards, who patrol
the front and rear cay and
night"
Now everyone who has ev ell
seen the Ardmore Jail knows
that this description is false
from the brick walls down. The
house is warm and comfortable
with good plank floor, shingle
and board roof and the interior
perfectly dry.

EASY TO GET TRANSPORTS.
The Radical Action of the Govern
ment Has SaIutary Effect.

Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn
stated yesterday that the work of secur-
ing transports for use in the various ex-
petitions to Santiago, Porto Rico and the
Philippines has been progressing most
satisfactory during the past few days
Since the Government decided to refuse
to allow itself to be embarrassed by some
of the steamship companies in the matter
of obtaining the necessary Transports the
work of acquiring them has progressed
more rapidly and the way has been
cleared of many obstacles that were in
the way of closing contracts. The de-
termination of the War Department to i'm
press steamers as a last resort has, it is
stated, had very salutary effect.
The Northern Steamship Company yes
terday notified the department that its
London agent would probably agree to
the terms of the Government, so that
the steamers Tacoma and Columbia may
be had by the Government, if desired,
when they arrive at Tacoma.
No additional transports were acquired
on the Atlantic coast yesterday the num-
Der necessary for all present needs hav-
ing been practically obtained.
Advices were received from San Fran
steamer Queen, which has been i'm
pressed had to be discarded by the naval
examining experts as unseaworthy.
request was made by the agents of the
vessel for second examination of the
vessel, with the hope that she might
be accepted, but no action viii be taken
thereon.
Mr.. Meiklejohn said that when the yes
sci was at Seattle she was reported as
very seaworthy boat. Strange to say"
he said, ''the examination at San Fran
cisco by the naval experts resulted in
report diametrically opposed to the one
made a. Seattle"
Mr.. Meiklejohn said in conclusion that
the transport Senator, of the same line.
which was ordered to be impressed. was
found satisfactory, and that he had re-
ceived advices from San Francisco. stat
ing that the orders Of the Government for
the impressment of the vessel had been
complied with. He said that the orders
for the impressment of the City of Pue-
bio had been held in abeyance until June

AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION.
Insurgent Successes in the Philip
pines CompIicate Matters.

The Administration is said to be very
much worried over the great successes of
the Philippine insurgents. and the appar-
ent intention OF Gen. Aguinaldo to take
Manila and perhaps the entire islands.
It is realized that the situation in the
islands is very much complicated.
1t may be stated on excellent author
ity that the Administration, while dis
posed in the most friendly way to the
insurgents. will not permit them to make
such headway that they viii have any
possible right 10 claim the islands and
leave the United States out of their con-
troll This has been decided upon after
careful consideration OF the recent de-
velopments in the Philippines.
Instructions have been sent to Admiral
Dewey that the insurgents are to be
checked beyond a certain point. Further
instructions will be waiting for Gen. Mer-
ritt when he arrives at Manila. 1t may
not be stated exactly what the nature
OF these instructions IS but il is known
that the Petrol has been ordered by
Dewey to prevent any force of the in
surgents from invading certain territory
which would give them an advantage
over the United States ships and troops.
Aguinaldo proposes to establish a pro-
tectorate over the islands. This PROPOSE
ton will not be accepted by the United
States. President Mckinley does not be-
lieve the insurgents are capable of run
ming their own government successfully.
Another consideration is that if the in
surgents are given this control, the Unit
ed States will have no right to collect
any revenues from the islands or in any
other way reimburse itself for its outlay
or exact tribute from Spain for its con-
quest.
The State Department is authority for
the statement that If the insurgents are
allowed to conquer the islands there will
be no way for the United States to take
any part whatever in the affairs of the
new government that will be profitable
to it.
1t is the general opinion among Admin
istration people that mistake has been
made III allowing the insurgents to gain
as much advantage as they have already.
Every victory for them complicates the
problem further. and especially when
they might apparently now conquer Spain
unaided.
