The investigation into the opera
tions Of the Quartermaster' Depart
ment in the Philippines, initiated by
Gen. Corbin, and continued by Gen.
Wood, has been in progress more than
a year. Partial reports have reach
ed the War Department from time to
time, but the inquiry is not finished.
Many officers of the army and some
Of the employees of the civil govern
ment figure in this investigation, and
all Of them have peen separately
called on to explain the conditions
under which they ordered furniture
and other goods from the Quarter
masters Department; whether il was
for personal use or to be placed in
government offices and finally whether
the furniture was allowed to remain
In those Offices or whether it was re-
moved by them as personal proper
ty. In the latter case the officers and
employees are being requested to pay
for the goods. 1t appears that owing
to rather loose system of keeping
accounts, officers have undoubtedly
been charged for property really IL
tended entirely for government use,
and in such cases they will not be
obliged to pay. Whore knowing vio-
lations Of the law have occurred the
War department has issued orders
that the offending officials shall be
tried by court-martial.

Diamonds in Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark.-A special to the
Gazette from Nashville, Ark, says
that diamonds of fine quality have
been discovered in Pike county, ff-
teen miles north Of Nashville, and
great excitement prevails.
Several weeks ago a Mr.. Huddle-
ston picked up two curious looking
stones, which he sent to Charles S.
Stiff, the leading jsweler Of Little
Rock, asking him if they were Of any
value. Mr.. Stiff was satisfied on the
first test that they were rough dia-
monds, but to make sure he sent them
to New York, where they were at once
pronounced diamonds of very fine
grade. Meantime Mr.. Stiff made in
quiries quietly as to the particulars
OF the find and the sort Of earth in
the vicinity. He afterwards visited
the place. 1t developed that a state
geologist few years ago had called
attention in official reports to the old
lava, pumice and other evidence Of
volcanic action, similar to conditions
In the South African diamond fields
and at various times many years ago
prospecting in desultory form was
do1e on small scale but nothing
came of it until this accidental find.
Sam W. Reyburn, president of the
Union Trust Company, with Mr.. Stiff
interested local capital and Mr. Rey-
burn went to New York and interest
ed parties there.
The parties have closed a deal for
an option for the field, paying $780,
600 for it, and the field will at once
be thoroughly prospected by experts.
There is no question whatever as to
the value Of the stones found. The
only thing to be determined is wheth-
er diamonds will be found in paying
quantities.

Graft in Philippines.

Captain Ira L. Fredendall Of the
Quartermaster's Department was
charged in Court OF First Instance in
Manila, with misrepresentation of pub
lie funds. The fling of these charges
is the elimination of extensive in
vestigations by the insular authori-
ties into an alleged series OF frauds
perpetrated by members Of the Quar-
termaster's Department in the Phil
ippines. The inquiry resulted in the
discovery of padded payrolls in Quar-
termaster's shops and grating in the
lease of lighters. Both officers and
civilians are implicated, and courts
martial will follow the court proceed
ines.
Major General Wood continued the
inquiry originally begun by Major
Gen. Corbin. The result of the in
vestigation has been great saving
In transportation funds and a de-
crease in graft, such as the manufac-
ture Of furniture, ETC., in the shops
for the private use Of officers and
civilians. High officials in the army
and government are said to have beea
the benehciaries.

Stupendous Enterprise.

Another stupendous enterprise has
been projected at Gulfport, and if the
plans of the promoters do not miscar-
ry that hustling city will become the
terminus of another railroad - the
Gulfport, Natchez & Vicksburg. The
charter Of incorporation has been
fled with the secretary of state, and
while the corporation is known as the
Gulf Construction Company, and is
capitalized at only 100000, the OBJ
ject of the company is to erect new
piers and wharves at Gulfport and
build the proposed new railway line
to Vicksbnrg, by way of Natchez.
1t IS understood that English cap1-
tai IS interested in the project, and
while the capitalization is rather mod
est for such an enterprise, it is also
understood to be the purpose of the
promoters, when ready to execute the
plans, to increase the capital stock to
millions instead Of hundreds of thou
sands. Such line will connect Gulf
port with two principal Mississippi
river ports in this State, which seems
to indicate line of steamers up the
Mississippi to Memphis and st. Louis.

Fort Brown Abandoned.

Fort Brown at Brownsville, Texas,
has been abandoned by order of Pres
ident Roosevelt, and Company H Of
the TNenty-sixth Infantry, the only
troops there, were ordered to Fort
Sam Houston, Texas. Fort Brown was
abandoned because Of trouble between
whites of the city and the negro sol.
diers of the Twentieth Infantry which
resulted in the soldiers shooting up
the town. The negro soldiers are now
at Fort Reno, OF.
Fort Brown has been put in charge
Of caretakers, and it is not likely that
it will ever again be occupied by
troops, unless there should be trouble
with some of the countries to the
south.

Raises Storm in India.

William J. Bryan has raised storm
in India. His criticisms of the British
government s rule there have got back
to the East, and the officials and news
papers are UP in arms about it. In
formation received here in letters
shows that deep feeling has been ex-
cited. Copies of the leading newspa-
pers forwarded here indicate that Mr..
Bryan is the chief topic of discussion
in India The Times, Of India. the
leading journal Of Bombay, devotes
almost its entire editorial page in a
recent issue to fierce denunciation of
Bryan and severe sarcasm against the
United States in general, while the
India Spectator, leading native jour
nal, assails him in more restrained,
but no less indignant fashion.

Gold Laden Steamer.

New York.-The Cunard steamer
Carmania, may well be called golden
ship. In the strong boxes of the steam
er are shipments of gold aggregating
$lO,, 100000. This gold is imported by
banks and bankers in view of the re-
cent money striagency here. The trans
actions were facilitated by the Treas
ury Department, which advanced most
OF the cash used, SO that the bankers
would not lose interest on their money
while the gold was en- route. The bank
ers turned over to the Treasury gov
ernment and other bonds to cover the
advance pending the receipt of ths
gold.

no leniency, except in rare instances,
will be accorded railroads in the mat
