stringency in the money market of Cuba

spark of discomfort can easily be famed
into a flame of agitation in favor of the

After the oleo Men.
The internal revenue department is 60
ing to make a fight against the evasion
of the law of oleomargarine manufactur-
ers who have served notice that they will
seek to color the oleo after 1t has been
sold to the dealer or consumer. The de-
partment today issued circular letter
of instructions giving tests by which col
oring matter may be detected in oleo. Full
lers earth is prescribed as the test for
yellow dyes which are used extensively
In coloring oleo and butter. A pinch of
the earth is placed In saucer and COW
cred with a sample of the melted oleo.
The presence of any of the analine dyes
will show by the mixture turning a rose
color. II the oleo has not been artifcially
colored. the color will remain the color
of the Fuller's earth. For cotton seed test
the butter or oleo is melted and an ounce
of benzine is added If the cottonseed oil
has been used a white residue settles
to the bottom. The department agrees
to analyze any samples sent to Wash
ington and to report upon them.

TRACY NEARING END
OUTLAW, WOUNDED, MAY SOON
BE IN TOLLS.
Cannot Get Away on Train and All
the Wagon Roads are Closely
Watched-Has Taken
to the Brush.

Ravensdale, Wash, July Hilary
Tracy, the hunted outlaw. is undoubted-
ly in the country between Covington,
Franklin and Ravensdale. At present
guards are out as far as Franklin, on
the east and along the northern Pacific
track. A strong posse is leading from
Auburn. He is wounded.
Sheriff Cudihee says there is no ques-
ton that Tracy is nearly used up. The
sheriff believes that the case is nearing
an end. He says the utmost vigilance
will be used. and it will be impossible for
the outlaw to get out of the country on
any railroad train, consequently he must
walk, and as the roads are watched and
every farm house so well covered that a
visit would be reported within a few
hours.
1t seems to him that before many
hours the man hunt will be over. Tracy
was last seen on the Green River. about
two miles southwest of Black Diamond,
last night, by Frank Pauto, a rancher.
The convict passed in front of Pauto
house and a short distance beyond it
took to the brush. Pauto was so fright
ened that he passed the night at the
house of another rancher. Twenty or
thirty guards with bloodhounds have
started for Pauto's house.

Washington. July 12.-(Special.) -Unless
the proposition of this Government in
connection with the disposition of the
friar lands in the Philippines is accepted
very soon by the Vatican, Governor Taft
will be Instructed to issue an ultimatum
that will bring a speedy disposition of
the question. The Philippine Civil Gov
eminent bill passed by the last Congress
contains a provision authorizing the
Philippine Commission to secure any
lands necessary for school purposes, for
est reserves or other public purposes by
condo mnation proceedings. 1t is propos-
ed to use this power to get possession of
friar lands, should the Vatican insist
upon its present policy of delaying the
negotiations.
1t is believed by War Department OFF,
Gals here that such an ultimatum would
cause a speedy acceptance of the propo-
sition already made by this Government
as in case of condemnation proceedings
the church would unquestionably fail to
fare as we'll as it would by a sale such as
is now under consideration. There is
every confidence that the negotiations
will be successfully concluded before an
other week.

CONTROL OF THE CUNARD.
Not Known Whether Morgan Has

New York, July 12.-Reports of the &C
QUESTION of the Cunard Line by the Nor
gan combination can neither be confirm
ed nor denied with authority, says a
London cable to The Tribune The re-
vival of these rumors is the natural con-
sequence of the talk among the colonial
premiers on the subject of steamship sub
sides. They are unwilling to discuss any
plan or policy which includes subsidies
for any line running between British and
American ports and are leaving the Gun
ard managers and shareholders to work
out their own salvation. without help
from any portion of the empire
There iss now a general understanding
among the colonial representatives that
the imperial conference will not act upon
the subsidy question, since Colonial Sec
rotary Chamberlain prefers to have the
colonies agree upon a general scheme be-
fore the cooperation of the British Gov
eminent is definitely proposed
