EXTRAVAGANCE OF CHARGES AGAINST

EXTRAVAGANCE OF CHARGES AGAINST
AMERICAN OFFICIALS EXPOSED
Washington. May IS (speciaD-A communication
recently sent to the Senate by President Mckinley
exposes the extravaganza of the charge brought in
certain quarters against the military authorities in
the philippines that under American rule the
sale OF ntoxicants has largely increased in Manila
and the liquor traffic there has enjoyed unusual
privileges and immunities. The President trans
mtted copies of numerous reports received by
the Adtutant-Genera showing the extent OF the
liquor traffic and the restrictions enforced upon
sales Of intoxicants. and summarizes these docl-
ments by saying:
From these reports It appears that the traffic in
controlled under rigidy enforced high license
system; that the number OF places where liquor is
required TO be closed at $50 p m. week days and
condition OF the city compares favorabiy with cities
OF similar size in the United States.
Under date OF March II Lieutenant H G. Bishop
the provost marshal's assistant In charge of
licenses IN Manila, reports that March liquor
licenses outstanding were as follows:
Saloons 49, wholesale dealers n; native wine
shops, 6l3: disteries, 15 brewer4es, l.
OF the native wtneshops, seventy-three are not
now conducting business The others are not
saloons In the accepted American sense of the
term, having food and other commodities for sale
as well as wines. and few Of them have liquor
stocks valued at more than SO According to Lieu
tenant Bishop the figures for March show de-
crease Of 20 per cent in the number of saloons
proper, compared with March g. 1893. The 15S now
divided into two classes according to oca-
tion Those in the first class pay licenses OF ST. 200
year. those in the second licenses OF $500 Saloons
which sell beer and light wines only pay $500
year in the first district and 800 year in the sec
ond. License fees are. Of course. paid in Mexican
currency.
Rigid rules enforced in both districts for the
maintenance of order. Lieutenant Bishop says that
the native wineshops always quiet. and the only
trouble experienced with them is occasional
violation of the military proclamation forbdding
the sale OF intoxicants to American soldiers

THE TRADE FULLY SUPPLIED IN SPITE OF
HOT WEATHER DEMAND

The milk dealers yesterday still retained the ad-
them into buying milk through him and paying
him a brokerage fee of five cents a can. The trade
was fully supplied yesterday, in spite OF the fact
that when the weather is hot the consumption OF
milk in the city is three thousand or four thousand
cans above the normal Estimates of the amount of
milk being held back yesterday placed the outside
total at two thousand cans. Were it not for the
hot weather, il is said, there would be surplus OF
two thousand In this city.
1t is understood that orders have been sent out
from this city to the Five States Milk Producers
Association directing that sentines be placed at
the receiving stations of the milk dealers for the
purpose of persuading the farmers when they drive
up to the stations with their milk not 10 deliver IT.
Reports received yesterday afternoon from milk
agents along one of the leading milk carrying roads
indicated that the receipts OF milk from the stations
that line, with three four exceptions, would
show slight increase to-day.
The milk dealers are showing great activity In
meeting the situation. Every afternoon finds them
assembled at the headquarters of the Milk Dealers
Association, No. u st. Marks Place They are
studying Mr. Graves's effort limit the supply OF
milk from legal point of view, and IL is under
stood that they intend to take action against the
prime movers IN the scheme if sufficient ground
therefor is found. The only element which Is caus-
ing the dealers anxiety the present time Is the
hot weather There is always difficulty in meeting
the demand which is created by few days or high
temperature Restaurants large quantities OF
milk when the mercury mounts into the nineties
