WASHINGTON, April 24lThe military
situation in the Philippines, as shown by
the latest mail advices received at the wa.

today at the department:
On the 1st of January, 1900, the insrrrea
ton in the part Of Luzon, P. l. embrac-

TWO EXPEDITIONS.
Gen. Otis committed the task of the

brigades, commanded respectively by
Brig. Gems. Wheaton and Schwan. In

CHICAGO. April 24-An extensive for
gerry OF sugar trust stock came to light
today when S. W. Jacobs, president OF the
Chicago Loan and Trust company. was
arrested at the instance Of H. Gtlbartson.
OF z4S west Erie street, on a charge of
Oelng implicated in a confidence game.
Ihe alleged perpetrator of the forgery.
Samuel Fuller, also is sought but 1t has
been learned that he left Chicago soon
after completing the transaction com
planned Of, May IT, 1898. 1t is said, too,
that he imposed upon no fewer than a
score Of business men, several of whom
are believed to have purchased bogus
sugar stock. Gilbertson says he gave
Fuller $2,7OO for fifty shares of what pur-
ported to be shares in the American
Sugar and Refining company, and his as
sertion that the papers bore the alleged
signatures of H. o. Havemeyer as presi-
dent and John E. searles as secretary ia
corroborated by Jacobs.
sWINDLE ADMITTED.
Mr. Jacobs does not deny that Gilbert
son was swindled. But" he said, when
taken into custody, "I was fooled as thor
oughly as Gilbertson was. though l did
not lose any money. Fuller came to me
with letters of high recommendation,
purporting to be signed by the mayor and
treasurer of Buffalo. He also had a letter
from the Alcott bank, of the same city.
He created such a good impression upon
the brokers in Chicago that he gained
everybody's confidence. However, I had
absolutely nothing to do with the trans
action between Fuller and Gilbertson. 1t
was not long after that the true character
of the man Fuller was discovered Then
Gilbertson demanded a settlement from
me, but 1 declined to make any settle
ment, there having been no business be-
tween Gilbertson and myself"
Gilbertson says Jacobs took an active
part in inducing him to purchase the
stock guaranteed the papers offered by
Fuller, represented that he himself held
shares worth $500 900, and, as a further
argument, gave Gilbertson a promissory
note for $1,000

railroad giants, nearly all of whom
have passed away. Mr.. Huntington
was remarkable man; he was one OF
the nations greatest builders. No sim
gle man accomplished more towards
binding the Pacific and Atlantic States
together than he. Those who knew
him esteemed him more for his per-
sonal qualities than for his abilities.
The latter brought him success as well
as the enmities that invariably follow
success, not unusual when gained
through conspicuous ability. His I'M
bounded faith in the future and un-
limited zeal in the work in hand
brought the enormous resources of the
great West within the reach of civili-
Zation. His life was singularly illus
tratiye of the power of fixity of pur-
pose, and above all of the value of I'M
questioned integrity which enabled him
to control extended credit for his
transcontinental project largely upon
his own assurances. He was bold and
essentially a builder-up; and his af-
fairs display the habit of the man in
that his death did not in the slightest
degree impair the market value of his
vast enterprises, as they are now con-
sidered well established in public con-
fidence. In the history of the marvel
GUS development of the great Pacific
coast his personality and achievements
will always occupy a very high place.
The closing week has developed sew
eral factors that work towards cheer
fulness and betterment. The security
marker has heen dull Sut fts great nm
DERIVING strength has been demonstrar-
ed in several instances. Investors are
beginning to realize that the readjust-
ment of prices of iron manufactures,
cotton and wooden goods, and other
finished products has begun to bring
about increased demand and greater ac-
ivy in trade circles. AS unmistaka
BILE evidence of TINS, ii is stated that
never before has the army of buyers
in New York been SO large at this sea-
son of the year, a conservative estimate
placing the number at not less than
four thousand. This is an indubitabie
indication of full and brisk fall and
winter trade. And not only are domes-
tic buyers here in force, but many more
than at any previous time are here
from abroad The demand for Ameri-
can manufactures in all lines, as not
ed, above is rapidly increasing abroad,
and places us in an enviable position.
Aside from this the expectation of coal
promises to add largely to our revenues
before many months elapse, in conse-
quence of the increasing difficulty OF
obtaining it from the Welsh mines.

under arrest at the detention prison
of the Bureau Of immigration They
are all charged with being in a con-
sDiracy to assassinate President Nc
kinley and have been taken singly and
in pairs from incoming ocean liners
within the last 10 days. United States
secret service agents learned that an
anarchist circle in Naples had cast
lots to determine who should be the
assassin. Eleven Italians and three
Austrians were selected. Closely fol-
lowed, they sailed for different ports.
Their object was to strike individual
blows at the President at the same
time. That would make success sure.
AS fast as the men arrived secret sery-

The IA are now detained by the

the detention quarters at quarantine.
Zone report is to the effect that some
are in Ludlow street Jail, having been
taken there from Ellis Island in order
to thwart any attempt to rescue them
by Paterson anarchists.
So far as known the plan was for
each man to proceed to Washington
alone on a certain day. They were
to surround the President and await
an opportunity to strike. The blow
was to be by pistol and knife. One
OF the number, it was certain, would
be successful. The question of escape
was not considered, the men being will
ing to sacrifice their lives for their
principles.
The two men who did not meet their
fellow anarchists were Maresca and
Weida. Chief Wilkie, of the secret
service division of the Treasury De-
partment, had his agents at the pier
when the steamer locked The two
men did not come in the steerage as
did the others. Maresca came as stew

without going through the formality
of the barge office.
When Maresca boarded the Kaiser
Wilhelm ii. at Naples August 3, a Sc
cret service agent was close on his
heels. Maresca professed to have no
money when he boarded the steamer
-and made application to be taken as
cook. Failing in that he asked for a
stewardship. There was a vacancy in

The statement is made that the Dan
ish government is about to publish an
official account Of its negotiations with
the United States for the sale Of the
Danish West Indies. and It is to be
hoped that the statement Is true. The
impression prevails that these negotia-
tions were interrupted by external in
fluence and that but for this influence
the islands in question would long ago
have passed under. American control.
After having repeatedly signified her
desire to transfer her West Indian pos
sessions to the United States Denmark
suddenly and somewhat mysteriously
changed her policy and announced that
she did not wish to part with the is
lands. 1t is now stated, however, that
she will again entertain proposals for
their sale to this country. An official
statement giving in detail the fndu-
ences and considerations that caused
the Copenhagen government to with
draw it's original proposition to sell the
islands would make extremely inter-
esting reading.
