Washington, April 1.-That strained

yesterday when Secretary of State

that Mr. Pulido. the Venezuelan charge

would appear that diplomatic rela-

The story is that Mr.. Loomis has pro-

Onei Jacob Si.,iti, Also Advanced.
Washington. April President Nc
kinley has lost no time in recognizing
the splendid service of General Fred
erics Funston, the captor of Aguinai-
do. Ignoring the storm raised by
officers of the regular army, who are
intensely jealous of the spectacular
feat of the doughty little volunteer,
the president Saturday appointed
Funston a brlgadier general in the
regular establishment, the highest re-
ward in his gift
In addition the president has pro-
NOTED General Lloyd Wheaton to n
major generalship. vice Miles. pro-
noted lieutenant general. and Colonel
Jacob II. Smith of the Seventeenth
infantry, to be a brigadier general of
volunteers. vice Daggett, retired.
The president and his cabinet be-
lieve that the time is not vet ripe to
decide what course should be pursued
in the disposition of Aguinaldo. 1t is
felt that some little time should elapse
to permit an opportunity to deliberate
carefully over what course would
prove the wisest, whether he can be
of any service to the United States
government by remaining at Manila
and eXerting his influence in the direc-
tion of peace, whether it would be
dangerous to permit him to remain so
close to the field of insurrectionary ac-
tivity or whether even it would be
best to send him among the other in
surgent prisoners on the island of
Guam. There is no disposition to
deal otherwise than lenicntly with
him. but there are various questions
that will have to be considered in the
case. as for instance, whether he per-
sonally instigated assassinations of
Americans and similar offenses which
some of the members of the cabinet
feel should call for some penalty. It
cannot be too emphatically stated
that the administration will avoid
giving the captured leader any basis
for posing as martyr.

is known to justify the belief that
they are far reaching.

of other persons have been arrested.

quantity of bacon and wagon loads of
other goods, all bearing government

a prominent commissary officer is
accused of leading scandalously i'm
moral life.
1t is asserted that large quantities
of stores have been lost or stolen in
transit and also that there is short
age in the commissary depot.
New scandals are developed daily.
Illicit transactions have been traced
back to June. 1900. and it is possible
that there are others of earlier date.
The cXorbitant tariff on provisions
makes the surreptitious removal of
supplies immensely profitable. 1t is
understood that other United States
officers may be arrested.

A GREAT MARKSMAN.

"wild Bilrs" Extraordinary Proficiency

wild Bill" Hickok was the first
froltiersman who recognized the i'm
portance of proficiency in the use Of
the six-shooter, says E.. c. Little in
Everybodys Magazine. This was the
real secret of his supremacy. He was
an unerring marksman, and shot as
accurately under fire as when firing at
a mark, apparently taking no aim.
Probably no man ever equaled him in
the lightning rapidity with which he
gency, and in the thorough self-posses-
sion that made it possible for him to
take advantage of every opportunity
In savage conflict. He had standing
order to his deputies that they should
not rush in on him in any OF his
ARRAYS, and especially should not come
up quickly in his rear. BY forgetting
this Williams met his death, Hickok
taking him for an enemy, and firing
so rapidly that it left no opportunity for
recognition. He readily killed the
wild goose across the Smoky Hill with
his revolver. Riding at his horses
highest speed he fired shot after shot
into tin can or hitching post few
rods distant. Standing at one tele-
graph pole he would swing rapidly on
his heel and fire a pistol ball into the
next telegraph pole. There were some
Of the sinner feats he performed day
after day on the street to settle little
wagers. He could shoot hole through
q silver dine at 50 PAGES, and could
drive the cork through the neck of
bottle. and, at 30 PAGES, knock out the
bottom without breaking the neck. He
could do what the fancy shots of the
present day do, and possibly some of
them equal him as marksmen with a
revolver, but it must be remembered
that he was the first to acquire this
skill, and that he shot just as well with
Others shooting at him, and at a man,
as steadily as at any other target

The United States furnishes nearly
nine-tenths of the worlds supply OF
cotton; the East Indies, Egypt and
smaller countries the other tenth. We
can hardly maintain this ascendency
with the efforts making to take away
the business. Japan, for example, is
manufacturing cotton cloth, and takes
largely Of our supply. Now she has
cut her demand In two because by
using cheap Indian cotton and mixing
1t with the American article she can
place her goods on the market at less
price than If wholly made of our ma
terial. Another competitor will ma
terialiZe Ia few years. With the
damming Of the Nile and the estab-
lishment of the irrigating canals which
are part OF the enterprise, a vast
tract OF Egypt will be opened up for
TIE cultivation of the cotton plant.
An area equal to four large American
states will be reclaimed and much Of
1t will be devoted to cotton raising.
European and Asiatic manufacturers
expect to get the material much
cheaper, because Egyptian labor is
paid SO little in comparison with
American.

Animal Sayacity.

The marmoset IS not generally an
animal whose intelligence is we'll de-
veloped. The following anecdote
however, will prove that there are
individual exceptions. M. Hatchet-
Souplet possessed one Of these mon.
keys, which was subject to toothache
for. when it had eaten nuts, it mani
tested its sunferings by expressive
pantomime. 1t would try with its
fingers to get out the small pieces OF
nut lodged in its teeth, only doing
SO with great difficulty.
It occurred to NJ. Hatchet-Souplet
one day to suggest to the monkey a
better means Of getting out of the
difficulty He took a toothpick and
used it before the animal. Then,
after giving the monkey q lot of nuts,
he placed in the middle of its cage
a short stem Of iron, which he had
sharpened to a point on stone. The
monkey seized the iron and tried to
use it as he had seen his master do
with the toothpick. Not finding it to
his liking, he proceeded to put finer
point upon 1. by sharpening it on the
stone.
He dislodged the pieces of nut, and
always afterward used his iron tooth
pick with most satisfactory results.
