DOYER co CONTEMPLATING AsEs.
Other Arrests May be Made in the Next Few

Secret Service Agent Shartzer, who
was instrumental in bringing to justice
Michael Costello and Giuseppe Special,
who recently pleaded guilty in the
United States Court to the charge of
counterfeiting, is allowing no grass to
grow under his feet. He visited New
Castle Jail few days ago and held a
conference with the prisoners, and it is
believed q great deal of information
was obtained which will be valuable
to him in working up the case.
The detective has had reason to be.
lieve all along that there were others
interested in manufacturing spurious
money near Dover, but all except Cos
tello and Special had evidently left
the neighborhood before any arrests
were made The detective thought he
was on the track of the mon suspected,
but up to the present time they have
eluded the officers. 1t is thought,
however, THAT other arrests will be
made in the nextsfew days, and in view
Of that fact it is probable that Costello
and Special may not be sentenced for
several days. ST.

Jester had been subject to epileptic fits
and it is presumed that he was at
tackled with a fit while taking bath
and that the fit either resulted fatally
or he was drowned. DIR. j. J. Jones,

lighthouses became necessary. Spain set out to supply these and projected forty-eight light stations. Of these sine has already constructed seventeen of the first-cass and sixteen of the second-class. What they cost is not yet known here, but in Ameri- can waters those of the first-cass cost from S250o0 to ,000 each, so that, on an average basis of the minimum cost in the United States, Spains thirty-three light houses may represent outlay of $S2o, 900.
 Spain has constructed breakwaters at Ma.>-a, at an expense not yet known here, and wharves of small value along the Pa sig river. She has recently built barracks for 4,000 men, now occupied by American troops, the cost of which is not yet ascer- tainable.
 Naval Station at Cavite
 At Cavite, Spain has built naval station, which, before it was sacked by the na- tives, was said to be equal to the Mare Island station, and may be worth g, 900. whether or not the last two items can be strictly designated pacific expenditures' must be determined in conference, but the nShthouses, water improvements, barracks and naval station are necessary to me united States as the owner of the Phillip pines, and are deemed worth a fair price.
 Spain has also built some school houses, which the Americans are willing to take at cost.
 The Spanish commissioners listened at- tentively, though not without some evil dence Of impatience and surprise at the financial suggestions in the American pre- sentiment, and finally asked until Friday to consult the Madrid government and make reply.
 Adjournment was then taken until that day After the conference was dissolved the Spanish commissioners expressed the opinion that the American demand would create in Spain, as they had upon her com missioners. an exceedingly grave impress sion. We're the Spanish commissioners pushed to a final determination tonight they would reject the American demands, but the changing tone of the Spanish press recently urged the consummation of a treaty of peace, however rigorous. the ar gument being that although the Spaniards bow to the American demands, the com missioners do not acknowledge the justice or admit the legality of them.
 Tonight the Spanish commissioners feel that the United States to all intents and purposes have not offered any financial in- ducement to Spain to cede by treaty any part of the Philippines.
 Had the American commissioners even offered to take the entire Philippine debt of about $40,000,0 900 the Spaniards affect to feel that it would have been as nothing, and they regard today's position so meagre as not to warrant even a schedule of Spain's pacific expenditures" in the archi- pelago.
