TO TURN MILES DOWN.
FINDINGS OF THE ARMY COURT
OF INQUIRY.
Are Now Being Framed-No En-
balmed or Chemically Prepared
Beef Sent to Army.

Washington, April 19.-The army
court of inquiry has begun framing its
report. It is regarded as certain that
the court will fin0 Miles charges that
embalmed or chemically prepared beef
was sent to the army not sustained.
The position Of the court is believed to
be that the testimony is conclusive
that both refrigerated beef and canned
beef were in good condition when de-
livered to the government and cOntin-
ued so until issued to the troops, eX-
cept the portion damaged in transport
tation or affected by tropical condi-
tons and to these conditions the chief
causes of the trouble will be attributed.
1t will be shown that refrigerated beef
after being taken from ice in a tropical
climate spoils quickly unless we'll
cared for and that canned beef after
being opened, because of the great
heat, becomes repulsive in appearance
and unpalatable. The court will say
that from it's Investigations canned
beef is nutritious. 1t is believed that
the court will criticise those officers
who testified that they became aware
bad beef was issued to the troops and
failed to report their observations I'M
til after the war closed.

MADISON SCIENTIST LECTURES

Washington, April 20.-The National
Academy of Sciences yesterday award
ed the fifth Watson medal to David
Gill, her majesty's astronomer at
Cape of Good Hope. This medal is
awarded in cases of work in astrOn-
omy of sufficient Importance to at

tific world DR.. Gill perfected an APP
plication of the heliometer to astro-
nomica1 measurements. Last evening
Prof. r. W. Wood of Madison, Wis.,,
gave a lecture on photographing sound
waves. Stereopticon slides of photo
graphs of sound waves in motion were
shown, said to be the first ever pro-
duced in which the original and re
f1ected waves are both represented on
plates Prof. Wood said his work
was believed to be the first reproduc--
ton of the actual condensation and
that there was no reason why sound
waves could not be seen except for
their great velocity.

NEWSPAPERS IGNORE 1T.
California Law Requiring Certain Ar
tic1es to Be Signed by Authors.

San Francisco, April 19.-The news
paper signature law passed by the re-
cent California legislature goes into
effect today. AS many papers in the
state including all the San Francisco
dailies will pay no attention to it,
there will probably be lively times for
California journalism. The law pro-
vides that all articles published in
newspapers which reflect on any
persons character, or tend to hold him
up to ridicule or contempt and those
rejecting on the memory of the dead
shall be signed by the writer. The
penalty for violation is fine of 81 900
for each offense, $500 of the fine going
to the person who brings the action.
The newspaper publishers hold the law
unconstitutional, and will fight it out
in the courts.

Washington, April 19.-The iustruc-
tons given to the Samoan commits
sioners prescribe the preservation of
order and the security Of life and prop
erty as the first requisite. 1t is pro-
viQed that the duties of all officials
heretofore exercising authority in Sa-
moa, either under the treaty of Berlin or
in the service of either one of the gov
ernments, shall be suspended in order
that the high commission shall have
complete authority over the affairs of
the islands. The commission is re-
quired to make report upon variety
of things, including the recent COLI
sions and the causes leading up to
them; also as to the administration of
the islands and the rights of the
claimants to the kingship also
as to what changes are desirable in
the methods provided by the treaty Of
Berlin. The instructions call for
unanimity in all action by the COM
mission. The action taken by the
commission when unanimous is to be
conclusive, without referendum, ex-
cept when it suspends a provision OF
the treaty of Berlin. In that case also
a provision of treaty may be suspended
by the unanimous agreement of the
members, but the suspension is ad
referendum and not finally binding
until the three governments approve
or disapprove of it. The extent to
which the treaty can be temporarily
suspended is not quite clear, and one
of the commissioners said yesterday it
would require consultation among
the commissioners to make this point
certain The Instructions are broad
enough to include the recent trouble
some bombardment, fighting, arrest of
German citizens, etc., SO that these
acute phases, as we'll as the general
government of Samoa will be adjusted
without further conflict between the
three governments.

MADE QUEER MONEY
DARING COUNTERFEITERS AR
RESTED IN PENNSYLVANIA.
PROMINENT MEN ACCUSED
Floated Finely Made $500 Silver
Certificate Charged With
Having Made and Used Counterfeit
Cigar Stamps Attor-
ney Tries to Bride Detectives.

Washington, April 2O.-Probably the
most important capture in the history
of the secret service was made Tues
day in Philadelphia by Chief John 3.
Wilkie, and agents, when. they arrested
Arthur Taylor and Baldwin S. Bred
dell, makers of the famous counterfeit
Monroe head" hundred dollar silver
certificate These arrests were fol-
lowed Wednesday by the capture in
Lancaster, Pa, Of William M. Jacobs
and William L. Kendig, two prominent
cigar manufacturers, and James Burns,
who was in Jacobs employ. There was
also captured an original plate from
which the silver certificates were
printed, a new S100 counterfeit plate,
a new $50 plate and other parapher-
MALTA. Taylor and Breddell, it
is said, were captured while
actually at work on the
new plates. They are said to be ex-
pert engravers and never before under
suspicion. The silver certificate was
probably the most dangerous coun-
terfeit ever put in circulation. Less
than 100 notes were issued and only
about 26 have been discovered.
An Attorney Arrested.
Philadelphia, April 2O.-A sensa-
tional arrest was made in this city
last night in connection with the cap
ture of a counterfeiting gang. Harvey
K. hewitt, who was assistant United
States district attorney Of this city
during the administration of President
Harrison, was arrested by secret ser
vice men charged with bribing Detec-
tive McManus of the Philadelphia Of
flee. He was given a hearing before
a United States commissioner and held
in $4,000 bail which was furnished.
According to the story told by one of
the officers, Kendig suspected
early this year that he and
his confederates we're being
watched by secret service men. He
engaged hewitt as a go-betWeen to
bride Officers Burns and McManus,
who were working on the case. Burns
was not approached, but hewitt saw
McManus and the latter agreed to ac
cept a bride. All the meetings be-
tween hewitt and McManus were wit
messed by members of Chief Wilkes
force and the evidence against him is
said to be most positive. 1t is stated
here that enough counterfeit stamps
were captured by the detectives in
Lancaster to cover 44O,OOO,0QO cigars.
AS near as can be learned $4,000
worth of bogus stamps have been USED
on cigars thus far sent out from Ian
caster.

Washington, April 19.-The navy
department has given out the follow
ing dispatch from Dewey:
"The Yorktown visited Baler, on the
east coast of Luzon, April II for the
purpose of rescuing and bringing
away Spanish force consisting of
so soldiers, three officers, and two
priests, surrounded by 400 insurgents.
Some of the insurgents were aired
with Mauser rifles. Lieut.. J. c. Gil
more and part Of the crew were am
pushed, fired upon and captured.
Their fate is unknown, as the insur-
gents refused to communicate after
wards. The following are missing:
The officer previously referred to-,
Chief Quartermaster w. Walton,
Cockswain J. Ellsworth, Gunner's
Mate H. J. Haygard, Sailmaker's
Mate Vendgit, Seamen w. H. Ynders,
and G. H. Woodbury.; Apprentices D.
w. A. Venville and A. J. Peterson;
Ordinary Seamen F. Brisolese and O.
B. Mcdonald; Landsmen L. I. Ed
wards, F. Anderson, J. Dillon and G.
A. Morrisey."
Lieut.. J. G. Gilmore, the officer cap
tured, is well known in Washington.
He was stationed here some time and
his wife and family are living here.
His main service has been on the Mo-
nongahela, the Marion, Bancroft,
Vesuvius and Machias. A year
ago he reported to the st. Paul and
served on that vessel under Sigsbee
throughout the war January IA last he
was ordered to the hospital ship So
lace, about to sail for Manila. On ar
rival there he was assigned by Dewey
to the Yorktown. The capture Of the
Yorktowns men was discussed with
much feeling in naval circles. The ad-
miral's dispatch was the first knowl-
e6ge the department had that the
Yorktown lad gone on special mis-
sion to relieve the Spanish garrison at
BaIer. Although the dispatch gave no
indication tt-at Gilmore and the men
lost their lives, yet great anxiety is
aroused by the mystery surrounding
their fate while in the hands Of the un-
civilized enemy. This is the first cap
ture of any Americans, military or ma
val, so it is unknown how the insur-
gents will treat our men. The insur-
gents have been averse thus far to eX-
changing Spanish prisoners, and this
raises the question as to what they
will do with the YOrktown's men. The
socials here will spare no effort to Sc
cure the speedy release of the men.

HIS RELATIONS WITH WOMEN

Canton, O., April 2O.-The defense i'm

attempted to introduce other women
into the case and show Saxton's rela-
lions to them by proving their pres
ence in his block and at his Office. The
court barred out all such testimony ex-
cept in regard to Mrs. Althouse, say
ing that Saxton's relations to the other
women were not competent in this de-
tense. This, it is believed. will have a
tendency to shorten the trial as it will
keep out testimony which number Of
witnesses have been called to present.
