Therefore our troops are to demon
strate how New York cam or cannot be
captured, a matter of vital Importance
to the United States and of intense
interest to tie maritime nations of the
world, EACH one of which in spite of
the Inhibition of their military and
naval attaches, will strain every re-
source of craft to find out exactly what
takes place
In this mimic war newspapers are
treated as spies of the enemy and
not only will no information concern
ing the maneuverS be given out but
every possible effort Is made to pre-
vent the representatives of newspa-
pers from getting information Sec

and defended in the manner demon
strated in these army and navy
maneuvers. The possibilities for loot
and tribute offered by the seizure of
the metropolis of the western CONT

nave often formed the fabric of rides
cent dreams in the minds of European
statesmen.
The military and naval establish

have made a study of the best means
TO capture New York. German officers
have especially considered the prob

by them on the subject.

possible the conditions of actual war

extending thirty-five miles into the
country back of it, Newport is the key
of the New England coast.
Newport is defended by Forts Ad-

on Dutch Island, guards the western
entrance to Narragansett Bay. This
section of coast, then, from Gay Head
at the western entrance of Vineyard
Sound to the forts at the eastern en-

the theater of war for the army and

Danger in kissing.

Danger IN KtSSIn9.
A fact of some interest revealed by
statistics is that in the earliest years
of life the incidence of diphthe ria is
greater upon male than upon female
children but from three years on
wards the position is reversed, and
with every succeeding year the re1a-
tive female liability becomes greater
This is probably due to the habit of
kissing maintained among females, but
more and more abandoned by boys
from babyhood onwards- 1t empha-
sizes the part played by personal In
lection.

WHEELER'S ROSY VIEW.
General Joe Sees a Bright Fu-

for about 12S miles above Manila and
some 80 or 40 miles in breadth. It is

rs it true" he was asked, that Sher-
mans army, on its march to the sea,
was guilty Of such acts as have been at
tributed to our troops in the Philip
pines?"
1T is true that Sherman's army did
burn buildings, but never heard of its
ever killing or hurting a non-combat-
ant replied General Wheeler thought
fully. My associations with the Fill
pfnos," he continued, led me to believe
that they are not a malevolent people.
They are responsive to kind methods
and appreciate them and their general
expressions to me were that they should
love to be citizens of the United States
il they can be equals Of the Americans,
but they do not want to be connected
with any government where they will be
regarded as interiors"
I'm your opinion" he was asked, "can
the United States assimilate the Fill

With the exception of a few localities
peace and quiet and order exist in the

convinced this condition will be uni

short time.

MEAT TRUST.
Chicago Packers Threaten to
Start the Real Thing.
One on the Lines of MOrgan's
Steel Colossus.
CAPITAL OF A BILLION
To Include All Packing Houses
in the Country.
All This to Follow Disturbance
by the Government.

Chicago, April pa billion dollar
packing trust is among the possibilities
if the United States governnen should
succeed in maintaining its contemplated
injunction proceedings. says the Tri-
bune- The prediction is made in Lasalle
street financial circles that the large
packers who may be made defendants
in the federal court viii be forced for
mally to ombine if the prosecution
against them under the Sherman anti
trust law should be successful.
The combination would be formed
along the lines followed by the United
States Steel corporation, and would be
made to comprise practically all the
beef packing companies in the country.
In the formation of such a combination
continues the Tribune. all the powers
now denied the packers, with one ex-
ception, could be legally exercised. The
single exception, in the opinion of cor
poratiOn lawyers, would be the adop-
tiOn of an arbitrary and unreasonable
schedule of prices.
Many atten pts have been made in the
past to form such d combination, but
all have been unsuccessful. During the
life time of p. D. Armour the question
of the formation of huge packing
combination to include all the Chicago
firms was discussed. but Mr.. Armour
stood firm against all such proposals
1t is claimed that at one time the pro-
ject went SO far as to be considered by
the heads of all the large Chicago firms
but the question of the allotment of
capital stock is understood to have been
the rock on which the plan went to
pieces.
Representatives of Armour & Co., and
the other large packers at the stock
yards today denied that there was the
least foundation that adverse action Of
the government might result in the
packers forming billion dollar trust

Philadelphia, April 29.-The submarine
boat Fulton and her conveys, the yacht

the Delaware breakwater at 10 o'clock
this morning The Fulton is making an
ocean trip from New York to Norfolk
An explosion occurred on the Fulton
a short time after she reached the break
water Four of the crew were injured,
one Of them perhaps fatally
The explosion is supposed to have
been caused by gasoline. The injured;

was lifted bodily and thrown several

Arthur We're at breakfast.
The latter was hurled against the roof
of the cabin, his head striking the iron
work. Bechtold was struck by flying
debris and was the most seriously in
jured His skull was laid bare in sew
eral places and is thought to be frac-
tured.
The cause of the explosion is a mys-
terry IL did not occur in the engine room
and the gasoline in the storage tank was
not ignited. Capt. Gable says that ow-
ing to the gasoline fumes he has not
been able to make an Investigation.
Lieut. Macarthur expresses the opin-
ion that the action Of the air in the gas
oline tank caused the explosion The
engines continued working after the
explosion occurred, and Engineer
Saunders wrapping his head and face
in a wet towel. went down into the
hold to stop them
The Fulton is apparently not seriously
damaged. She is now lying alongside
of the tug Storm King, and it was ex-
