the aid of the Baltimore police, a raid
was made on tte houses and all the par

any way connected with the case.
They found in searching the houses a
quantity of base metal, tin and anti

Several pieces of metal were found on

counterfeiters there was found any

1t is stated that the money had very
good appearance, and that it was an
excellent imitation, especially for ItaI-
ian operators. The coins have an un-
usually large amount of plating on them.
Chief Wilkie. when seen at his home
last night, was very much elated over
the success Of his operatives and gave
them great deal of praise. He stated
that he understood that there had been
about 5000 pieces of money nut into

was found on the premises of either
house. He believes that the last niece

learned that Dominick Marti. Frank and

SENTIMENT AT MANILA
AGAINST COL. GARDINER
Believed That He Has Not

Moros More Friendly With Americans
Sultans Make Request for
United States Flag.

MANILA. June 15.-The board that
is investigating the charges made by
Colonel Gardiner. of the Thirtieth Regi-
ment. who has made various accusations
against TIE troops, has transferred its
sessions from Tayatas to Manila. II is
generally believed that Colonel Gardiner
has failed to make good his accusations.
The newspapers here frequently attack
him for his attitude toward the army.
The board is composed of three officers.
two of whom were formerly stationed at
the places where Colonel Gardiner
charges abuses were committed.
Moros More Friendly.
General Davis. military commander in
Mindanao, has informed a correspondent
that the Moros are learning that the
Americans are trustworthy and treat
them with fairness. The American Off
GERS frequently visit the Moro villages.
The health of the troops in Mindanao is
fine. Only 6 per cent of them are in
the hospital, and these will be transferred
to the healthy shore of Lake Lanao.
There is continued 'sniping'' by the
disaffected Moros. The conditions, Cen
eral Davis says. are probably similar to
those which obtained in Luzon. If the
fighting does not become close the Ameri-
cans will not suffer serious losses.
He believes that regiment of in
fantry. two troops of cavalry, and one
battery are sufficient to deal with the
Moros. He does not expect a general
attack. Dato Ada visited Camp Wears.

fears. 1t is not impossible that thous-
ands may be idle and that the young

The fate of the island lies in the
sugar concession of our Congress. II
that concession is refused, the planters
will not plant their sugar, and conse-
quently the crop will be a failure. 1t is
probable, then. that the conditions here
referred TO might prevail. II would be

patches present are not of the present

there now, and could not be for some

6tion Of the finances.
You may say" General Wood replied.
that when we left the island its
finances were in better condition than
they had been at any time during the
past year that we were there. They
were better than they had been during
any year that we were there
They did business there all the time
with less surplus than they have got
now. and we did not have to draw on
it at all. We left them with good finan-
cial system. and If they follow out
that system there need be no trouble
as far as finances are concerned"
No Apprehension.
General Wood further said:
Il have no apprehensions OF rioting
there, or any necessity for making Cen
eral Gomez the chief of the armed
forces. He is a grand old man. and
the personal intimate friend of Presi-
dent Palma. He worked for Palma's
election and will give him every as
sistance in his power. / know he will

is a well-known resort in Montana on
the main line of the Northern Pacific
Railway. It is just the place for those
travelling to Montana to rest for day
or week. The baths are fine, good
for neuralgia, rheumatism, dropsy,
dyspepsia, stomach troubles, liver and
kidney diseases, etc. The elevation is
1000 feet above sea level at the base
of the crazy Mountains, and the seen
cry is charming. Trout fishing in Vel
lowstone river and the creeks near by
is good.
There are private and plunge baths,
attendants and physicians, the accom-
modations are not elegant and lux
urious, but plain, clean and comfort
able, the prices reasonable per
day, $500 per week-and you are
made welcome, summer and winter.
