A Practice Cruise,

Chicago, April IA special to the
Record from Washington says: The
squadron under command of Admiral
Sampson, consisting of the battleships
Indiana and Texas and the cruisers
New York, Brooklyn, Newark, Detroit.
Marblehead and Supply. has sailed from
Kingston for La Guayara. The SQUAD
ron will not be heard from after leaving
kingston for 10 days, when it will put
into La Guayara for coal, spending
three days at that port. 1t is probable
that Admiral Sampson will transfer his
flag and headquarters from the New
York to the Supply, in order that the
Warshirs may have every opportunity
to maneuver and practice.
The test will be quite a severe strain
on the crews of the various vessels, as
they will have to work unremittingly
day and night. Every officer and en-
listed man will be subjected to regular
war discipline. The vessels will not all
put into La Guayara to coal at once,
but will take turns. so that several of
the vessels will always be on the out
l:ok for the imaginary enemy. After
loading the bunkers to their full capac-
ity the squadron will once more start
for another 10 days cruise, following
similar tactics, and will not again be
heard of until 1t returns to Kingston.

RECEIVER APPOINTED.
shrewd Move to Keep the Road in
Friendly Hands,


Kansas City Mo. April "A receiyer-
ship for the Kansas City, Pittsburg &,
Gulf railroad was asked tonight of Judge
Gibson OF the circuit court by Charles
l.. Granns and other stockholders and
creditors. The application was granted
and Judge Gibson appointed the follow
ing named officials of the road as receiv-
ers: Il. l.. Martin vice president: Rob
ert Gilman general manager, and J.
McD. Trmble, attorney, all of this city.
considerable mystery seems to sur
round the affair. President A. f. Stillwell
OF the road, when telephoned at his home
at O'Clock this morning, denied anv
knowledge of d receivershin 1t is he
leved the receivership is a friendly one.
Inc interest due to-day amounted to
so'o'Vo and it could not be met When
tA's tact became known a movement was
inausurated to secure the appointment of
receiver who would be especially friend
~ to the Eastern interests of the road.
rms move was checkmated by the prepa-
ration OF the papers for the appointment
of local receivers
Judge Gibson was applied to late to-
night. The petition for the appointment
OF receiver was signed by Charles A
Braley, e. E. Silver and John E. Eaton
of the law firm of Trimble G. Braley. The
outstanding debt of the system is s2s 600, :
600 of oonds The interest due to-day
amounted to $4,000. The eouipment of
the system amounts to $4,000 or $50, 900 per
month which consumes the earnings and
diverts them from the interest fund The
recelVershlp does not involve any interest
OF the Port Arthur system other than the
main line of the Kansas City, PIttsburg
q Gulf railroad.
The northern lines, Kansas City Subur-
ban, Belt and the Port Arthur Canal and
Dock company. together with other inter-
tStS' are said to be upon firm financial
basis. The financial troubles that have
involved the road are directly attribute
bic to the fight against the completion of
the canal as it deDrives the railroad OF
terminal facilities at the gulf for more
than year and compelled the company
to make use of Galveston. which necessi-
iated giving up very large share of the
revenue that would ordinarily accrue to
the road. Mr. Martin tonight said:
The application was made in order to
prevent the road from falling into the
hands of some one as receiver whom we
KNOW nothing about and whose methods
OF handling the property could only be-
come known to the stockholders as events
brought the matter out. We are certain
tnat We represent the sentiments of the
great majority of the stockholders in our
scheme for reorganization and consolida-
lion. | am confident that in five or six
months the receiver will have the affairs
cleared up"
{. y. Braley said: Il received an init
nation to-day that a move was on foot
when the interest was defaulted to secure
the appointment of an Eastern receiver
we then determined to keep the road in
the hands of its friends and in the place
where it was originated. It is a Kansas
N!'E enterprise and Kansas City receiv-
er" should control its destinies."

Aguinaldo in a Tran,

New York, April 1.-"Our boys are
doing we'll in the Philippines and
think the end is near at hand" remark
ed General Merritt to a reporter at the
waldorf. Il do not know much Of the
country where the latest fighting has
been done, but, judging from the dis
patches received, the American soldiers
are doing splendidy. Naturally I am
much interested in the news from the
philippines. If it is true that Macaho-
las, the leader of the five northern
provinces. is Aguinaldo's enemy and
would attack him if he should enter the
northern territory, the rebel leadev
seems to be in a trap. IF he retreats
much farther he will be in the Macaho-
las country and if he does not retreat
MS army will be cut to pieces by the
Americans. I have never had
any doubt about the ultimate result of
the war. 1t can have but one ending-a
victory for the American army"

years old, and was Of great help to him

Special Dispatch to the Standard.

special Dispatch to the Standard.
san Francisco, April 1.-While the
Palace Hotel stake was the feature of
the days racing at the track to-day,
there were three Montana horses which
keyed up the interest in three OTTER
events to high pitch and made a good
sized cleanup for the talent from the
great copper state. Marcus Daly's filly
Boland started off flying in the third
race at half a mile, and when she struck
her stride there was no other horse in
the bunch that could get near her, al
though Bathos and Flamora, which fin
ished second and third respectively,
were driven out to their last notch, AS
good as to l was obtained by the Mon
tana boys, who played her well. Time,
ASH.
The fifth race, a 3-year-o event, at
two miles and a quarter, the old cup
distance, would have brought another
golden horde to them but for Jockey
Reiff's poor judgment. Reolia was un-
doubtedly the best mount in the race,
as she overhauled all but the winner
handily when Reiff did finally begin to
make his ride from the rear, closing the
gap of Is lengths in the last half mile
But he had delayed too long and the

Ola ran up from 3 to l to Is to 5, while
7 to was obtained for place.
w. D. Randall's Balista, who drifted
from 5 to Is to I, won the last race at
six furlongs from Wyoming in a smash
ing finish. The Montana colt got off in
front and was only headed once during
the circuit. Wyoming challenged Ba-
lista in the stretch and it was nip and
tuck to the wire. The former showed
great gameness, but the Montana pro-
duce had the speed and got the money
by length. Wyoming took the place
from Rio Chico, who also became fac
tor near the finish. Ella H., the favor
lite, made very poor showing, landing
sixth. Time. 1:12.
DR.. Sheppard had everything his own
way in the first race at six furlongs.
Thorp got him off in front and he won
very easily from Socialist, while Feb

ton shows that in the opinion OF the
court there is no merit in the Jockey

that the Pacific Coast Jockey club will
be compelled to hold its race meetings on
the track at Eneryviile in future instead
of at lnsleside. AS the California Jockey
