THEIR FATE IN DOUBT
Have Saved ehe eMIsslnG--FIIIpInOs
VIII be Offered In Exchange.

Manila, April 2O.-Ihe fate of
Lieutenant j. C. Gilmore and the
boats crew from the gunboat
Yorktown is matter of doubt.
The warship's cutter with Is
men aboard, in charge of Gilmore,
was sent from the Yorktown at
night to make soundings near
Baler. where a small Spanish gar
rison had been resisting the insur-
gents for nearly year.
The object was to ascertain how
close to shore the gunboats sent
by Admiral Dewey to rescue the
Spaniards could go.
The cutter had been gone some
time when suddenly three volleys
fired in rapid succession were
heard aboard the Yorktown.
A curious feature of the affair is
that no reply to the shooting was
made by those aboard the cutter,
which had a machine gun in her
bow.
This leads to the impression that
Lieutenant Gilmore and his men
were ambushed and perhaps all
slaughtered before they could raise
a hand in their defense.
Nothing has been heard from
the cutter since and this gives rise
to the hope that the men may have
been rescued by the Spanish sold
iers at Baler.

coUNTERFEITERs CAPTURED.
Secret Service Makes the Nest Import
ant Arrest In tiIstory--A Monroe
Head Plate.

Washington, April 20.-Prob-
ably the most important capture in
the history of the secret service
was made yesterday in Philadelphia
by Chief John Wilkie and his
agents when they arrested Arthur
Taylor and Baldwin S. Bredell,
the makers of the famous counter
felt Monroe head" 500 silver
certificate.
These arrests were followed to-
day by the capture in Lancaster.
Pa, of VIM. NJ. Jacobs and VIM.
L. Kendig, two prominent cigar
manufacturers, and James Burns,
who was in Jacobs employ.
There were also captured the orr
ginal plate from which the silver
certificates were printed; a new
800 counterfeit plate and a new
| $50 plate and also three sets OF
plates for the printing of counter
felt revenue stamps, rolls, other
paraphernalia and about five tons
of paper and a large amount OF
counterfeit stamps. The Monroe
head" plate and also the stamp
plates and the other materials
were found in Lancaster where the
printing was done.
The plates for the new 800 note
and the $50 note were found in
Philadelphia. The officials have
taken possession of the factories OF
the cIgar-makers and have also
attached their bank account. Tay-
lor and Bredell, it is said, were
captured while actually at work on
the new plates. They are said to
be expert engravers and never be-
fore have been under suspicion
The men will be brought before
the United States commissioner
and undoubtedly will be brought
to trial at the earliest possible
moment. The silver certificate,
which was first discovered a year
ago last fall by All official of the
sub-treasury at Philadelphia was
probably the most dangerous coun-
terfeit ever put in circulation and
even the experts of the government
for a long time were undecided
as to whether the note was genu-
inc orcounterfeit.
Secretary Gage recognized the
very great danger of this new note
and at once called in the entire
issue of many million dollars. Al
the same time he sent warnings to
all parts of the country fully des.
cribing the note. This prompt
action baked the counterfeiters al
the very beginning. Although
less than 100 notes were issued
only about 26 have been discover,
ed.
There is no pain or discomfort

COLONEL BADEN-PoWELL.

Colonel Baden=Powell is a detective of the Sherlock fIelsBes Pattern.
 In Matabeleland, on scouting ex- petition, he suddenly noticed that the grass had been recently trodden down. He followed up the track, and found it to be the "spoor" of several women and boys going in the direction of the enemy. There were no trees for miles about. but he noticed a leaf lying a few yards off the track, and he convinced himself that the party had come from a village about fifteen miles away, where leaves of this kind grew.
 As it was damp and smelled of beer, he came to the conclusion that accord ing to their custom, they had been car rying pots of native beer on their heads, the mouths of the pots being stopped with punches of leaves, and as the leaf was ten yards from the track it showed there was a wind blowing when they passed.
 This was at in the morning, and though there was no wind blowing then there had been about two hours before. The sum total of the coIoners deduc- tions was that this party had been talk ing beer from the village to the enemy on the hills, and would arrive there about o'clock.
 The men would start drinking at once, and by the time he could reach them would be getting sleepy from it. and so he could reconnoiter their posi- tion without difficulty. He followed the track, found the enemy and got away with excellent information Everything had happened as he had deducted. No wonder the Matabele call him -'Impeesi, or wolf, and the man who never sleeps. And no wonder also that the Boers should fear him more than any other soldier.-New York Journal
