Sell Spirits to Government For
Smokeless Powder

Louisville, KY, April 19.-The Cou-
rier-Journal today says the American
Spirits Manufacturing company which,
with three other liquor concerns, is to
be consolidated with tae Kentucky Dis
tilleries and Warehouse company, has a
new source of revenue, which will prob
ably mean millions of dollars to the
combined whiskey interests.
Spirits form the prime factor in the
manufacture of smokeless powder. The
government has negotiated with the
company for vast quantities of this
liquor to be used in the manufacture of
smokeless powder. Since the recent war
the United States government has talk
en- up the manufacture of smokeless
powder and a supply is being made
under the direction of the war depart
ment. Sam Rice, president of the spir-
its trust and also head of the Kentucky
Bourbon trust, took the matter up with
officials at Washington. AS the result
of Mr.. Rice's efforts big contract was
let by the government for spirits.
The American Spirits Manufacturing
company controls all the principal spir-
its plants in the country. and the com
pany easily secured the contract The
first consignment of spirits was sent
east a short time ago and amounted to
between 100000 and 100000 gallons. The
greater part of the output of the COM
pany plants will be used by the govern
ment for some time to come.

SILVER MEMS ONLY HOPE.
Teller Says Party Organization Must
Be Maintained

Denver, April 19.-United States Sem
ator Henry NJ. Teller and Congressman
John F. Shafroth, in statements pub
lished today, emphatically declare in
favor of maintaining the Silver Re
publican organization, not only in Col
orado, but throughout the Union. They
say that the silver question will be
the paramount issue in 1900.
Mr.. Teller says that the gold Demo-
Gratis will not be able to control the
Democratic convention, and that, as in
1896, they will support the Republican
candidate. He says that the Demo-
cratic convention will reaffirm the plat
form of 1896, and that the party must
and will be allied with the silver Re
publican party and the Populist party,
both of which maintain their organ
izations and lend all their aid to win
victory in the great battle of 1900.
IT cannot conceive of a political sit
uation that will induce me to favor a
union with the Mckinley Republicans, p"
said Senator Teller. 1.-THE Republican
party is SO thoroughly dominated by
trusts, syndicateS and combines that 1
have no hope of relief in that quarter
l thoroughly believe that the continued
administration of the government by
the Republican party as now controlled
threatens the very existence of free
government.
Mr.. Teller expresses no preference as
to candidates. but Mr.. Shafroth sug-
gests the nomination of Bryan and
Towne. He says there is a complete
silver Republican organization in thir-
ty-two states, and at least that num-
Der will be represented in the national

PREPARING ITS VERDICT.
Beef Court of Inquiry May Report
This Week.

Washington, April 19.-The Wade
court of inquiry was engaged steadily
today in going through the testimony
which has accumulated as the result of
the three months investigation, and in
the preparation of the reports of it's
findings.
The report win be comparatively
brief, but the work of collating the es-
sential facts is,a task of no small mag
nitude and will require several days
time. There is a unanimous determin-
alton on the part Of the members of the
court to dispose of the subject with
the greatest possible dispatch, and the
statement was made today that it was
possible a finding might be reached be-
fore the close of the week.
Colonel Davis, recorder of the court,
said today that more witnesses might
be called, and that their examination
would delay the final conclusion, but
he hoped this would not be deferred to
any great extent. There are some re-
ports still to be read. but these will
not consume much of the courts time

Report Made to Admiral Dewey
of How Unfortunate Affair Was
Brought About-If Prisoners,
They Will Be Well Treated.

Manila, April 19.-Admiral Dewey
has been notified of the strange disap-
pearance of j. C. Gilmore and fourteen
members of the crew of the United
States gunboat Yorktown.
On Saturday last the Yorktown an
chored off Baler on the east coast of
the island of Luzon, and about 200
miles from here, where there was a
Spanish garrison of about fifty men,
which had been defending itself against
several hundred Filipinos for months
past.
Lieutenant Gilmore. Ensign w. III.
Stanley and a boats crew were sent
up the river from Baler bay to commu-
nicate with the Spaniards, the town of
Baler being situated some distance in
land. Ensign Stanley, who landed at
the mouth of the river, reports that he
heard three volleys, a bugle call and
cheers up the river, but the automatic
gun, which was part of the equipment
of the boat, was not heard firing.
Stanley then padded to the Yorktown
in canoe.
A search was made for the York
towns boat and her crew, but no trace
of them was found, and the Yorktown
sailed for Iloilo, from which place her

sharp fusillade followed, but no losses
were sustained.

DO NOT NEED BIG ARMY.
Additional $4,000 Men Will Not Be
Called For.

Called For.
Washington, April ia conference
held at the White House today between
the president. Secretary Alger. Secre-
tary Long and Adjutant General Cor
bin resulted in the confirmation of the
original decision of the administration
to at present refrain from availinS it
self of the authorization conferred by
congress to organize a volunteer army
of 81, 900 soldiers in addition TO the pres
ent regular army.
General Otis latest dispatch. descript-
i've of the conditions in the Philippines
was carefully considered. and it was
concluded to accept his estimate of the
military needs of the case, so that, as
he has already indicated that his pres
ent army is sufficient for the purposes
he has in view. the decision is tanta-
mount to a resolve to avoid recourse to
the additional volunteers.
A cablegram was sent to General
Otis, however. calling for the necessity
for Withdrawing the state volunteers
from the Philippines. and again asking
him whether he would need more men
after he has received the reinforce
ments now on the way to Manila or I'M
der order to embark as soon as the
transportation can be secured
Otis now has a force believed to aS-
gregate about %, 600 effective men. Sec
rotary Alger informed him that the
troops now on the way would give him
an army of about 10000 men, after al
lowing for the return of the state vol
unteers. This is believed at the war
department to meet all of the needs of
the summer season.
1t is intended to withdraw one regi-
ment from Porto Rico and TO send three
regiments now in this country to the
Philippines as soon as they can be
equipped and transported there, though
it is not believed they will reach Manila
for two or three months. 1t is also stat
ed that the conditions in Cuba are such
that it is quite probable some troops
can be withdrawn from that island for
service in the Philippines.
The matter of returning the volun-
teers was also discussed. The depart
ment is arranging for their return to
the United States as soon as the neces-
sary transportation can be secured. To
General Otis has been left the selection
of the organizations to be sent home
first. and it is expected he will follow
the plan he has outlined OF relieving
first the men who have been longest in
the Philippines.

WILL BE WELL TREATED.
Navy Department Has No Fear For
the Prisoners.

Washington, April 19.-The officials of
the navy department are confident that
such of the men of the Yorktown as
escaped being killed outright in the
first ambuscade will be well treated by
the insurgents. Some time ago the war
department made inquiry as to the
number of American prisoners held by
the Filipinos. In reply, General Otis
referred to three soldiers and said they
were being fairly treated by the insur-
gents, he supplying funds to defray
the cost of their food.
The reports made to the navy de-
partment by Paymaster Wilcox of
Dewey'S officers, who made a trip
across the island from Manila to the
north coast, described the condition of
the Spanish officers who were held
prisoners by the insurgents as COM
Portable. In many cases, he said, the
officials were only nominally in con-
finement. being allowed the liberty of
the town. The officials are hopeful
that Gilmore and his men who survived
the ambuscade will some day regain
their liberty.
The department has sent no instruc
lions to Admiral Dewey as to the
course he shall pursue, believing he is
fully competent to deal with the sit
uation, and resting secure in the as
surance that he will spare no efforts to
rescue Gilmore and his men if they
are alive.

The meetings here between the AM

Since the commissioners are off, a sense
of relief pervades those diplomatic and
official circles which have borne the
brunt of the controversy up to this
time. Their chief anxiety now is to see
the commission away from San Fran

The most startling finding of the re-
