A FAVORABLE IMPRESSION
Which Our Merchants and Manufac-
turers Should Take Advan-
tage OF a: Once,
A FAVORABLE IMPRESSION

Washington, April s.-United States
Minister Loomis, at Caracas, has sent to
the secretary of state an account of the
trip made by the United States steamer
Wilmington up the Orinoco and along
the north coast of Venezuela, in which
he says that the Wilmington made a
strong and favorab BILE impression where
ever she touched in Venezuela.
"The splendid condition and appear
ance of the men and the boat he said,
never failed to call forth praise from
those who saw them AS a result I think
that it will be found that American pres
tige has been substantially augmented
and the idea of American power and re-
sources vtalized by the war enormously
deepened and widened by the practical
results we are coming to in the way of
increased commerce with the United
States, and if our merchants and manu-
facturers will take advantage of the IA
vorable conditions that have been pre-
pared for them they ought to profit very
largely"
Minister Loomis impressed the native
officials deeply by causing the Whining
tons machine guns to be fired whenever
any of the army officers came aboard.
The result was the forwarding of several
orders to the United States for similar
weapons.

INSTANCE OF FILL
IPINO TREACHERY

San Francisco, April S.--An instance of
Filipino treachery is related by Corporal
Horkmans of the Twentieth Kansas
whose right eye was shot out by a
Mauser bullet which is yet imbedded in
his skull near the ear.
1--WE were crowding the enemy about
five miles from Manila on the road to
Caloocan,' he said, when one of the in
surgents came near with a flag of truce
We We're sticking close to our trenches
and living cautiously. When we saw the
supposed truce bearer a lieutenant from
the Utah battery, with us, went out t.

trench than Volley came from the Fill

the trenches. The alleged truce bearer

VICTIMS NUMBERED
BY HUNDREDS

Chicago, April S--From his comfort
able apartments in a Chicago horeI to a
dark and dingy cell in the Central Sta
tion was the sudden change Dennis D..
Quinlan, a dapper young man of %
wears, experienced today when two de-
tectves placed him under arrest for a
series of folgeries which he confesses he
committed in nearly every state in the
union. AS he sat calmly in a cell smok-
ing a good cigar he told a story that
amazed his attentive listeners. He lived
in elaborate style, and posed as n travel
ing man. His victims, he says can be
numbered by the hundred, and he has
realized a small fortune by his opera
tions.
He is wanted in New York, St. Louis.
Detroit, Cincinnati and other cities
throughout the west. while he has also
operated extensively in the east. Quin-
Ian went by the name of Charles Fast,
and comes from a good family in Ohio.
His home is at Holgate, Henry county,
where his father has charge of a gang of
men working for the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. His family, he says, are
wealthy and respectable, and are not

EUROPEAN
SQUADRON
Will Not be Formed For Some
lime to Come.
THE ANNUAL MANEUVERS
Can Not be Neglected--A Grand
Welcome Would be Given by the
British to Our WarShips.

Washington, April S.-Since the sug-
@estion was made some months ago that
the navy department should re-esta blish
the European squadron and include
among the vessels to be detailed to that
station some of those which took dis
tinguished part in the great naval battle
of July 8, the municipal authorities of
some of the English ports have invited
the department to send the ships to their
places, promising royal welcome. The
department, however, has been unable to
carry out its plans for the immediate es
tablishment of the European squadron,
owing in the first place to the necessity
of dspatching most of the smaller YES
sells of the north Atlantic squadron to
reinforce Dewey's fleet, and in the sec
ond place to the desire to avoid a remis
sion of the annual spring and summer
maneuvers of the north Atlantic squad
ron. The extreme Importance of these
maneuvers was 50 thoroughly demon
stratcd by the results obtained during
the Spanish American war that it is be-
neved to be unwise to omit them for even
one season.
Now it is suggested that if the Euro
pean squadron is not to be re-esta blished
it may be at least feasible to send some
Of the crack ships of the north Atlantic
squadron across the Atlantic on a visit
of courtesy to the English ports as soon
as the maneuvers now in progress in the
Caribbean sea are concluded and the
ships have an opportunity to refit. The
execution of this plan would, it is said,
involve the sending of Rear Admiral
Sampson himself in command of the fly
ing squadron. This suggestion has not
SO far taken anything like official form,
and it is said at the navigation bureau
today that it was very unlikely that it
would come to anything. 1t may be
noted that the navy department would
move very deliberately In ordering any
such movement of the ships of the north
Atlantic squadron. If they were dis
patched, as projected, only to English
ports, it would have a deep political sig
nificance and would be likely to cause
irritation among some of the continental
powers that are already deeply agitated
over the existing entente between the
United States and Great Britain.
