WHISKY TRUST ANNEX.
New Company Formed With . Capt.
talisation Of 424, 600, ,OOO-No
Plants to BE Closed.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE following
facts in connection with the organization
OF the new Standard Distilling and Dis
tributing Company are obtained from
high authority:
The company will be capitalized at $A,-
100000. of which $6.ooo.0 900 will be common
stock, 100000 per cent cumulative pre-
ferred stock. Incorporation papers will be
filed in New Jersey in a few days. The
new company, 1t is claimed, contains every
distillery and distributing company In the
United States outside Of the American
Spirits Manufacturing Company, and will
have a working capital Of 81 $4,000
The new company will be q separate and
distinct institution from the American
Spirits Manufacturing Company, but both
companies will be operated under an iron
clad agreement and thereby the interests
of both will be subserved.
The fact that Levi Mayer of Chicago,
counsel for the American Spirits Manu-
featuring Company, Is acting as legal adj
wiser of the new company shows the rela.
tonship between the two companies.
The new company will be in operation
on July !. 1t commences business with a
comparatively small production on hand,
and not single distillery Is to be dis
mantled or remain idle. The various
plants come into the new company on a
basis OF valuation made some time; ago
to owners, none Of whom appraised his
own plant.

WASHINGTON. June H. (Special.)
There. isr a squadron at Hampton Roads
that is exciting lively curiosity. It consists
Of seven cruisers. and is more of q flying
squadron than Commodore schley ever
commanded. - The squadron consists. Of the
flyers Minneapolis, Cincinnati. Newark,
Buffalo,. Yale. Harvard and Dixie. three
regular and four auxiliary cruisers. They
are. capable OF seventeen knots-that being
the speed Of the Buffalo. which was for
merly the Brazilian dynamite cruiser
Nictheroy. They are all fairly, armored
and have excellent guns. Every ship has
been coaled to her utmost capacity. Eighty
days sea rations have been taken aboard.
Everything about the ships indicates that
they are being. fitted out for long cruise.
The Dixie is the only vessel the destina-
tion OF which is known. She has been
ordered to join Sampson. The destination
OF the others Is unknown. 1t is not GER
tain that they have yet received any or
ders. The Minneapolis, according to a
report among her crew, is to perform pa
troll duty up and down the Atlantic coast,
but there Is NO certainty about that. The
AuAoso 40 SniO " Ue receiving a couple
OF six-inch and four-inch rifles. It is al.
most certainty that her dynamite gun
was removed before she hauled down the
BraEilian nag, SO that when she came
north with the Oregon and the Marietta
she was no better than a merchant vessel.
which she was before she became the
Nictheroy.
This squadron might be sent on one
OF two errands-to- blockade Porto R,co or
to raid the Spanish mainland. It is NOT
strong enough to attack any fortified
place or to give battle to such a squadron
as Admiral Camara is said to be fitting out
at Cadiz. 1t is. however, an ideal one for
raiding the coast Of Spain and destroy
ing or capturing the coastwfse trading
vessels that are carrying food, and, 1t is
suspected. munitions Of war from England
to- Spain.
1t is fast enough to avoid the few yes--
sels In the Spanish navy on the home sta
tion that are powerful enough to stop 1t.
1t would make absolutely certain the re-
tention of Camara's squadron at Cadiz,
or some other Spanish port. While there
is not very much fear on account of it,
positive knowledge that 1t has not started
for the West or the Philippines will be
worth a great deal. That is one. Of the
reasons why 1t ia believed that when the
Hampton Roads fleet starts, 1t will cross
the Atlantic to carry on the campaign of
education which the president believes the
people of the Iberian peninsula need before
they will permit their government to make
peace. ,s.dt- .tj-a

A HELMET oUANDARY.
London Mail Explains Why So Many
British Omcers Are KILLED
I'm Action.

From the London Mail.
Captain Norton, NJ. p, is to ask ques-
ton in the house respecting the large pro-
portion of British officers serving with
native regiments who were killed or
wounded during the recent campaigns on
the Indian frontier.
Captain Norton holds that the chief cause
for these lamentable casualties, which ow-
ing to the unofficial condition Of the native
regiments might become a. serious mem
ace to the efficiency of the Indian army,
is the fact that British officers wear diff
officers and troops under them; and are SO
rendered especially distinguishable by the
enemy's marksmen.
This danger in modern warfare has long
been recognized in Europe, and In the
home army the adoption Of the universal
pattern field service cap for all ranks has
been satisfactorily shown to reduce to a
minimum the distinction which formerly
existed between officers and men. With
British regiments in India the white pith
or khaki helmet acts in a similar way;
but in native regiments, where all but the
English officers wear an Eastern head
Dress the white helmet Is a fatal distinc-
ton.
Captain Norton proposes to ask the sec
retary for war to make the dress Of all
as possible: but 1t is difficult to see how
this can be done SO far as headgear is con-
cerned. With the subject races of which
our lnd1an army Is composed the wearing
of a particular kind of headdress is an in
tegral part of their religion, while the
proposal to make British officers adopt the
turban would be equally unpopular.
Captain Norton's question. therefore.
seems calculated to bring the Indian army
authorities to an tmpasse: but doubtless,
II they appeal to Pail MALI the strong
force Of experts which has been applying
a limited amount of brain power to the
invention Of series Of more or less OBJ
noxious Improvements" in military head
gear during a long period of years will be
able to help them out OF Captain Norton's
difficulty.
CANT and useless convertible fatigue cap.
the experts should find 1t matter Of
small moment to produce a species Of
universal pattern tropical headdress which
should SO combine the appearance Of the
turban with that of the solar topi, and
SO amalgamate the discomforts and ad-
vantages of both, that, while the British
wing officer will look like a native and
the havildar and the naick fancy them
selves almost white men, the willy Afridi
will be able to pick of either with equal
facility and disinterestedness.
