AS To PRIVATEERING.
Decision of the United states Not to
Indulge in IL Produces an Ex-
cellent Impression.

London. April 14.--There is great in .
terest here in government and CONNER
cial circles over the possibility of pri-
Watering in the event Of war between
the United states and Spain. Some
applications Of marque have been made
at the Spanish embassy and at the
Office Of the Spanish naval commission;
but there were no applications at the
United States embassy.
1t is generally recognized that Spain
intends to make privateerine a con-
spicuous element of her campaign. It
IS thought, however, that she will con
fine her energies in this direction to
preying upon American coastwise COM
mercc. 1t is not believed she will risk
oending the European powers by stop
ping their American bound vessels, or
by searching transatlantic ships for
American goods, for if European ships
are mOlcSted the powers will probably
adopt radical preventive measures. TIE
prevalent opinion that the United
states win not embark In privateer-
ing produces an excellent impression.
At an admiralty here, it is suggested
that the Spanish naval scheme will not
he to pit a fleet against the American
warships, but to scatter Spains war
essels about the coasts and indulge in
guerrilla warfare, swooping down upon
coast towns and retIeating before they
are overtaken. 1t is deemed certain
that this will be Spain's policy if she
abandons the hope of retaining Cuba
and merely pursues a war of revenge.
Many merchant vessels are being Of
fcrcd at the United States embassies
on the continent, but no negotiations
are pending, and it is said at the en-
bassy here that the United States gov
crnment has no need for any more

in the trials. but it turned out that he'
was suffering from an undeveloped case
of distemper at the time, and this was
the cause of his defeat. Had | suspected
distemper, l would not have started him.
He ran in the rain, and the next morning
had a wel-developed case of distemper.
L brought him home, and gave him a
comfortable place in my house. and he
received the very best attention, but
could give him no relief, and he passed
away one evening in January.

especially those in the western portion,
he said, had prejudiced the officials here,
and he appealed TO the House to remove
the injustice done his people.
Mr.. Graf Republican, Of Illinois,
warmly defended the appropriation. over
100000 in taxes were paid in his dis
trict he said, by legitimate distilers. But
immense frauds were pTactced on the
revenue. IL was estimated that 30 per
cent. OF the whiskey consumed in this
country was illicitly distilled. The small
number of convictions he attributed to the
fact that communities and juries were in
sympathy with the offenders. fund Of
this character, he said. was necessary to
secure information Of moonshiners.
Mr.. Kitchin denounced the "scoun-
drels" who informed for pay and de-
clared that frivolous prosecutions would
not cease as long as the government paid
for testimony.
TEMPTATION TO MOONSHINING.
Chairman Cannon explained that the
increase in the appropriations in this
fund from $4,000 to $4,000 was due to the
increase of the tax on whiskey TO Sl.l0 a
gallon. A gallon of whiskey cost less
than 20 cents. The evasion Of the tax
gave a profit of 90 cents a gallon. The
mere statement of the case showed the
necessity for using other than ordinary
means for securing information.
Mr. Evans Republican), of Kentucky,
who is an ex-commissioner Of internal
revenue, favored the appropriation, and
said the opposition to this item proceed
ed upon the theory that the moonshine
industry must and shall be preserved.
He was opposed to that doctrine. He
pointed out the extreme difficulty of as
pertaining violations of law yet it was
a fact that there were States in the
Union where il was impossible TO sell
whiskey for $110 a gallon, because Of the
immense quantity illiciuy distilled He
denied that any portion Of this fund was
used 10 buy testimony. 1t was, he said,
SANDER upon the appropriation and
upon the administration Of the law 70 in
innate that the government bribed wit
nesses. Whenever a representative OPP
posed this appropriation upon the floor
of the House, it would be found that IL !
icit distilling was one OF the industries /
of his district.
Mr. Swanson OemocraD, In advocacy |
OF the notion said that the cases trump |
ed up by informers crowded the United !
States courts, and their prosecution cost |
the United States annually from one-halr |
to a million dollars more than the pro- /
perty seized.
After some further debate by Messrs. /
Tate Democrat, of Georgia, and Pear
son Republican,. of North Carolina, in /
favor of the motion, and by Mr.. Sayers
DemocraO. Of Texas, in opposition. the
vote was taken. and the motion 10 strike
out the appropriation was adopted.
Mr. Cannon gave notice that he would
ask for yea and nay vote when the bill
should be reported TO the House.
The appropriation for continuing the
Investigation Of the seal question went
out on a point OF order. Forty-six pages
of the bill were disposed Of to-day
