Further Explanation Why People Are Not

A private letter received last Tues
day from a war correspondent at Ma.
nila and dated June II, says: "There
seems to be no end of the war in sight.
The censorship is constantly becoming
more troublesome. General Otis re-
Gently established rule that any mat
ter relating to the navy must be taken
to the commander of the fleet for his
approval and afterward submitted to
the military censor, thus adding to our
difficulties. For some reason which
the censor would not explain, General
Otis refused to allow US to send the
death of the Monadnock's captain
(Nichols) for two days after its occur
renee. The general also refused to al
low US to send news of the disappear,
ance of Captain Rockefeller (April 2S)
on the ground that it would worry bis
family, or the killing of Captain Tilley,
of the signal corps, until the next day;
The correspondents are all very tired
of this arrangement, which simply
means that they must 60 out and run
large chances of getting shot several
times week with no chance of max
ing regulations, because their stories
must always reflect OTIS view.
"It is impossible to write the truth
about the situation. The resources
and fighting qualities of the natives
are quite misunderstood by the Ameri-
can papers and we cannot write the
facts without being accused of trea-
son nor can we tell of the practically
unanimous opposition to and dislike OF
the war among the American troops.
The volunteers, or at least portion OF
them, were at one time on the verge
of mutiny, and unless General Otis had
begun sending them homewards there
would have been sensational develop
ments.

cock" and "Windom" head silver GER
tifcates, for which the members of the
division had vainly sought for more
than eight years, and finally captured
in the hands of the Johnson brothers
at Detroit, in August, 1898. There
were also the beautiful internal reve'
nue. stamp plates used by the Taylor
and Jacobs gang. The total number
of captured plates was 267. There
were also % dies for striking gold and
silver coins, and Alb molds for the rum
ming of spurious coin, the largest num-
ber ever captured in a single year
Fifteen new counterfeit notes made
their appearance during the year, but
of these only two were considered
dangerous, and less than half dozen
of these particular notes ever got into
circulation. The report touches brief
ly upon the famous Philadelphia case
and Chief Wilkie pays tribute to Op.
erative Burns, McManus, Murphy and
Griffin for their splendid work in con-
nection with this particular case.

NIGHT In 4 "SLEEPER."

A traveller from the short grass coun-
try boarded No. l, at Dodge City, few
nights ago. He wore long, white Whls-
kers and wide brimmed white felt
hat, and he stood six feet six.
His boots were neatly BACKED and
he had on a new suit of clothes. 1t
was apparent that he was not at home
in his new toggery. He was going to
California, he explained, to visit his
oldest son, who was prosperous fruit
raiser on the coast. He had engaged
q berth in the Pullman, and he asked
the conductor where it was.
"Right here, sir" said the conduc-
tor, as he pointed out the section. ,
"Do you sleep in that way all curled
nm on seat ?'' he asked in amaze
ment.
"No, it will be made up when you
are ready to retire.
"The man did not know exactly
what "made up'' meant, but he asked
no more questions. He sat in the draw
ing room and smoked, and finally ne
said to the conductor
"Wess, guess I'll turn in."
Gall right, sir, your berth is made
up
"The man walked into the main part
of the car. Then he went back TO the
drawing room.
"They all look alike" he said, "you
will have to show me mine"
The conductor showed him to his
berth and left him. The man looked
at it; then he went back to the rear
platform and closed the door. In q
few minutes he stuck his head IN the
car and shouted:
"Look out; I'm coming" and ne
made a run for his berth with MS
clothes, or most of them, under his
arm. In the morning he stuck his
head out between the curtains ana
called the conductor.
"How in thunder am l going to get
out on the platform to dress with all
these people looking?"
The conductor explained to him that
he would have to dress in his berth.
He did so, but it took him two hours.

He WAS OUT.--A benevolent look

fee on one of the lower floors of the

and asked for Mr.. Wicherley.
The clerk who had come forward to

that he was clergyman, and replied
"Mr. Wicherley has gone above"
The old gentleman walked out and
the clerk returned to his desk.
Two hours later the old gentleman
returned, and the clerk stepped for

"Mr. Wicherley got back ?" the old
gentleman asked.
The clerk was somewhat bewilder'

"Well, confound that roof garden
anyway" exclaimed the old gentle
man. "How long does the perform
ance last ?"

that Mr.. Wicherley had gone to bis re-

After Counterfeiters.

How the Government Has Been Looking
After Counterfeiters.
The thirty-fourth annual report o,
the secret service division, submitted
to Secretary Gage by Chief Wilkie, las,
Tuesday, shows that during the fiscal
wear ended June 80, 1899, there were
arrested for making or passing counter
felt money and kindred crimes 67s
persons. Of these 21S were convicted
and 293 are awaiting actions of the
courts. The acquittals were less than
"a per cent. Of79 cases undetermin,
ed at the close of the previous year, 64
were convicted.
New York state led the years record
with 9S cases; Pennsylvania had n
Missouri SO; Indiana Al; Illinois 80
and so on down to one each for South
Dakota, Idaho and Mississippi. Meth
er Vermont, New Hampshire moi
Rhode Island had case.
There were 433 native born Ameri.
cans among the prisoners SO hailed
from Italy; % from Germany II
from Ireland; s from Greece.
The counterfeit money captured and
secured consisted of S55, ,4S9 in nstes
and $2O,77S in coin, a total of $76, ,467
The list of captured plates embraces
some of the finest workmanship ever
turned out by counterfeiters, including

NEGROES AS SoLDIERs.-While the
Negro is we'll fitted for many indus
tries, and while the southern whites,
who know him best, will trust him in
many positions, he is unfit for public
office-the disastrous experience of the
south between 1868 and 1877 proved
this-and still more unfit for military
duty. Like "the beggar on horse
back" the moment rifle is put in the
hands of the Negro he becomes a
nuisance, if not danger. He is filled
with the idea held my people of in
ferior races, that he is the equal, if not
the superior, of the whites, and he
starts out to prove it.
During the war with Spain several
regiments of Negroes were raised,
some under the resolution of congress
providing for immune regiments, 9TH
ers by the states. Kansas and Illinois
each organized Negro regiment, and,
we are sorry to say, some of the south
ern states followed their example.
These troops caused trouble wherever
they were stationed, were guilty of in.
subordination, rioting and murder, and
it took very large force of the white
regulars and volunteers to suppress
the Negro soldiers and keep them in
order.
The short experience of the Spanish
war has convinced not only the south,
but the whole country, that Negroes
make poor soldiers.-New Orleans

A SNoB WITTILY SNUBBED.-At a
refreshment room one of the passen-

"Please pass me them pertatoes,

gentleman who sat next to him.
The latter slowly focused his gold
eyeglasses on the speaker. "Did you
think was one of the walters ?" he
asked, icily.
The others held their knives and
forks in mid air, expecting to see the
man shrivel up; but no such phe,
nomenon took place. He turned and
beckoned to the nearest waiter.
"George, come here, please"
"What is it, sir" asked George.
'I want to apologize to you, that is
all. You see, I mistook this party
here for you; but hope you won't be
offended at it. Now, please pass me
