Texas Oil Well Tested.

Austin, Texas, April Judge r. A..
Grccr, member of the Texas Legislature,
has returned from visit to the new oil
district. He says that q test has Just
been made of the flow of the great Lucas
Oil gusher, and that the result exceeded
tho most sanguine expectations of the
owners of the we'll. The flow was turned
into an oil tank, which has a capacity of
$4,000 barrels. This tank was filled in
twelve hours, lacking twelve minutes.
At this rate the flow of the we'll per day
of twcnty-four hours is 10000 barrels.
This is about twenty thousand barrels
greater than any other we'll in tho world,
including tho greatest producer over
struck in the oil district of Russia.
At the price of 40 cents per barrel the
Lucas we'll will bring to Guffey and
Galoy, tho owners, Il revenue of $2S,OOO
per day. If the we'll holds out for one
year at the present rate the revenue
which it would bring to its owners will
reach tho fabulous sum of $1O,22O, 900.
Judge Greer says there are eight wells
situated in tho immediate vicinity of the
Lucas well, which will be drought in'
within the next ton days.

A SCANDAL IN MANILA.
Sensational Development Of Corruption In tho
Commlssary Department.

Manila, April 2.-Interest in tho cap
ture and fate of Aguinaldo is well-nigh
overshadowed in Manila by sensational
developments, prosent and prospective
of frauds in the commissary department.
How widely these extend has not vol
beon ascortainod, but enough is already
known to justify the belief that they arc
far-reaching. Capt. Frederick J.. Bar
rows, of the Thirteenth Volunteer Infan
try, quartermaster of tho department. OF
Southern Luzon, together with seven
commissary sergeants, several civilian
clorks, a prominent government oontrac-
tor, the assistant manager of the Hotel
Oricnte, tho proprietors of three of the
largest bakeries in Manila, numbe OF
storekeepors and other persons have boon
arrested.
The Investigation has scarcely begun,
but thousands of sacks of flour, quan-
tity of bacon and wagon-loads of othor
goods, all bearing government marks,
have been found in tho possession of un-
authorized persons.
1t is alleged that tho contractor in
qucSIlOu, WHO HAS Dccu UOlnR business
approximating 100000 per mouth, has
spent hugo sums in entortaing officers.
A prominent commissary officer is ac-
cuscd of leading a scandalously imn oral
life.
1t is asserted that largo quantities OF
stores have been lost or stolen in transit,
and also that there is shortage in the
commissary depot.
Now scandals are developed daily. H.
licit transactions have been traced back
to juno, 1900, and it is possible that
there are others Of earlier date
Tho exorbitant tariff on provisions
makes the surroptitious sale of commits
sary supplies immensely profitable.
1t is understood that other United
States officers may be arrested.
Liout. Philip X. Sweet, of tho Forty
sixth Volunteer Infantry, is prosecuting
tho investigation, under tho direction OF
Col. Wildor, chief of Police.
