A Counterfeiter's Story. LANCASTER, Ia.. April 26. W. L. Kendig, one of the principals in the extensive counterfeiting of revenue stamps, went to Philadelphia this morning, and prior to his departure, in speaking of the alleged connection of former United States District Attorney Ingham nnd his law partner, ex-Assistant United States District Attorney Hewitt, with the scheme, said the last bribe money paid out was, to those two, and that the amount was $3,000. It was divulged to-day that W. M. Jacobs, the alleged chief of the counterfeiters, had made an unsuccessful attempt to bribe another internal revenue deputy collector before approaching Collector Downey, who was arrested Monday. Aldus C. Herr, formerly a clerk for Jacobs, became suspicious that everything was not right and resigned. A year later he was appointed a deputy collector. Jacobs then called on him and asked if any secret service men were In Lancaster and proposed that Herr should keep him posted, and as much as possible of their purpose. The deputy said: s,Mr. Jacobs, you must remember 1 am a sworn officer of the law." That ended the episode so far as Jacobs was concerned, but Mr. Herr reported his suspicious to the collector and then learned that Jacobs was under surveillance. Waiting: for the Deputy.

United States Treasurer Roberta Explains the Cause of the Deficiency. NEW YORK, April 26.-United States Treasurer Ellis II. Roberts, who is on a business trip to this city. In talking last night of the scarcity of bills of small denominations throughout the country said: "This lack of small bills is due in some parts of the country to the fact that the bankers don't take the trouble to send in their bills of large denominations and get small ones In exchange. This Is the case nearly everywhere except in the larger cities of the East and in the Northwestern States. In the Northwest there has been such a wave of prosperity during the last two years that the bankers and merchants have had no occasion to send their money East, as they did in previous years. They are rich enough to keep their money at home. "There was a lack of small bills in this city up to a few months ago, but now the bankers, merchants and business men of every kind have all the small bills they warn, 'lhuy have got them by sending on their larger bills. The revenue stamps on checks have probably had something to do with bringing into more general use the smaller bin. "The reason we cannot issue the smaller bills as fast as the bankers want tnem is because we are restricted by law. The law allows us to isue only i346,wj,ou in United States notes, and the sliver certificates are restricted by the number of standard dollars held in the treasury. We are now printing only small bills and have a big supply on hand, but cannot issue them because of the restrictions I have mentioned. So the only recourse for the banks that want small bills is to tend in large bills in exchange for them. In the ten subtreasuries tnroughout the country there is now 12,0o),0uu in gold, but only JlS.OuO.ouO in paper. We are sending out paper money in bills of small denominations now at the rate of 'about J2.000.0UO a week. But a good iart of this is sent out in place of old and mutilated bills. Although there is a shortage of small bills in circulation, the treasury was never richer in funds than it is at the present time." Chnrged with Klllinar a. Deputy. CHICAGO, April 26. The work of securing a jury in the trial of Thomas George Crosby, fourteen years of age, and his foster mother, Mrs. Marjorie Crosby, charged with the murder of Deputy Sheriff Frank E. Nye, on Dec. 22, 1S1S. was begun to-day. Nye was shot by young Crosby while attempting to serve a summons of ejectment on Mrs. Crosby. whos property was in litigation. The mother is charged as an accessory before the fact, having, it is claimed, ordered the boy to shoot. Policy Holders .Xame a Committee. CHICAGO. April 26.

MARCOS MORALES IN CUBA. Ills Hiding Place Found Through the Arrest of His Son. PHILADELPHIA, April K.-The hiding place of Marco Morales, who was arrested here last. October and escaped from a detective at Pittsburg, while being taken to Chicago, was made known to the police today through the arrests of Morales's son for a misdemeanor. Papers found in the prisoner's pockets showed that his father was in Cuba, employed In the custom house at Havana. The elder Morales and wife were arrested here on the charge of being fugitives from Chicago, where they were wanted for alleged larceny of several thousand dollars worth of household furniture. While being taken back Morales jumped out of a car window and escaped. Mrs. Morales was taken to Chicago and discharged. A few years ago. prior to taking up his residence in Chicago. Morales was a wholesale tobacco dealer in this city. His warehouse burned and the Insurance companies who had Insured policies on the stock of tobacco refused payment thereon, claiming that much of the most valuable stock hid been removed by Morales from the warehouse before the fire, and had. therefore, not been destroyed. Lawsuits followed and Morales finally obtained payment on his policies, though litigation over the matter in Yf.i?113 Ilh,a8es was carried on for some time. villlam M. Jacobs, the now famous Lancaster tobacco manufacturer, who stands accused of circulating thousands of counterfeit cigar revenue stamps, was with Morales a party to the suit against the insurance companies, he holding certificates showing part ownership of the stock of tobacco which it was claimed had been destroyed. REVISING MUSTER ROLLS TOO MANY COOKS AXD CAMP FOLLOWERS OX CUBAN ARMY LISTS. Gomes Thinks Only- 30,000 Men Are Entitled to Pay Americans Criticised by Havana. Press. HAVANA. April 26. General Gomez and the committee of consulting Cuban generals are sending dispatches around the island asking the various subordinate commanders to mako returns of the number of their men, as it is believed that the rolls submitted contain too many cooks, camp followers and privates who left the army long ago. In the opinion of General Gomez no more than ,0co are entitled to pay. La Discussion rays editorially to-day: "All appear Imbued with a species of insanity. They do nt-t realize the destinity planned by the military administration. For President McKinley the Cubans do not exist, but only Gomez; and Cuban independence now depends solely on President McKinley, who ia guided entirely by the American military commanders in the island, just as Spain was guided by her captain general. There is no dilTererce between President McKinley and Secretary Alger, and Senor Sagasta and Stnor Canovas; no difference between Gen. Brooke and General Bates, and Marshal Blanco and General Arolas; no difference between McKinley and Brooke, and Sagasta and Weyler." f : . La Lucha denounces the administration of Major General Ludlow, military governor of Havana, as "superfluous." It adds: "It is not too much to say that the government now existing in Havana ' Interferes with Itself. Senor Mora, the civil governor, does nothing, and he does not suit General Ludlow, who is not the right man for the place." The National League has made a formal announcement of Its policy. Its programme is to "establish a liberal and national government, based upon the concord of all the inhabitants participating, regardless of national differences of birth." Formal naturalization is required, however, in the case cf foreign born residents. The results of former elections are to be entirely ignored, as not attained under proper influences, and hereafter, according to the appeal of tne league, candidates for office are to be subjected solely to the tests1 of capability, honesty and desire to serve the country. There was one death from yellow fever In the hospital to-day but no new cases have developed. . The squadron of the Seventh Cavalry, that was formerly at Elvedado, has been placed under the command of Maj. Gen. Lee at Camp Quemados. General Lee now has 2,500 regulars attached to his command. Col. Duncan Hood, of the Second Immune Regiment, and son of the bid Confederate General Hood, is violently 111. The surgeons diagnose his cisease as 'eppendicitis and think an operation may be necessary. The colonel was passing through Havana on his way to join his regiment at Holguln, province of Santiago de Cuba. A body of five mounted men appeared In the streets of San Nicolas, province of Pinar del Rio. last night. They were met by rural guards, who exchanged shots with them. The outlaws escaped, but twentyfive of the guards have gone in pursuit. Brig. Gen. Adna R. Chaffee, General Brooke's chief of staff, arrived to-day from the United States. Shortly before 12 o'clock last night five American soldiers, one wearing a police badge on his coat, entered the Cafe La Alegrla, in Elvedado, and called for refreshments. The refusal of the waiters to serve drinks angered them and they seized the bottles. The proprietor summoned the police and their arrival was the signal for a general fight. The soldiers succeeded in making their escape from the cafe, with one exception, whom the police attempted to carry to the police station. When passing the encampment of the Second Artillery, the soldier escaped and ran into the camp, the guard refusing to allow tho police to pass the line. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the temperature was 79 degrees. Copper Mine to lie Reopened. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, April 28.-E1 Cobre, one of the richest copper mines in the world, will probably resume mining operations at an early date. A meeting of the stockholders of the mine and railway leading to it will be held in Havana May 1 to consider a proposition made by a British syndicate.

RETURN OF GEN. GRANT

ARRIVES AT KV YOniv OS THE TRANSPORT M'PIIHHSOX. Speaks Well of tlie People of Porto Rleo, and Suys He Will Sail for Manila on May S. NEW YORK, April 26.-Brig. Gen. Frederick D. Grant, who has been, for some months, military governor of Porto Rico, with his wife and his staff, arrived here tonight on the United States army transport McPherson. He is in the best of health. Mrs. Grant, who has livid with her husband in the southern camps and in the West Indies, is not very rugged, still she had no complaint to make about army life. After landing at Pier 3, East river, from the army tug Kalherine Franctsca, Gen. Grant said: "Porto Rico is a beautiful island and will be a valuable acquisition to the United States. The natives there treated me with extreme cordiality. They are naturally a peace-loving people and all chance of friction . will vanish when they understand us better. The recommendations of the insular commission, the last member of which. General Kennedy, returned home with me, will put an end to complaints about the taxation anu other civil matters concerning the island. There was no trouble in Porto Rico after I got there, and, in consequence, my mission was not what can be considered an active one from the standpoint of a fighting man. Instead of finding enemies, all the people I mtt were friends, who treated me royally everywhere I went and when I was leaving gave me a grand send-off. "I am now under orders to proceed to Manila, and expect to leave for the Philippines from San Francisco on May 5. 1 have Just heard the report that Gen. Guy V. Henry, the governor general of Porto Rico, has aked to be relieved on account of ill health, and that dispatches from Washington state that, in view of the appointment of his successor, my assignment to Manila has been held up and some of my friends are urging my promotion to the vacancy. Thus far my orders have not been countermanded, and I feel sure that I will not be stnt back to Porto Rico. 1 am delighted at the prospects of going to the Philippines, where there is an active campaign in progit as. which bids Talr to last tor some time to come.

The German newspaper publishers of Missouri held a meeting here to-day for the purpose of defining their position regarding the new policy of "imperialism, and militarism." Dr. Eroil Pretorlus, editor of the Westliche Post, and the nestor of the German press of America, presided, and after a lengthy discussion the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: "First Systematic and uninterrupted efforts have been made during the past twelve months to destroy, by misrepresentations and unfounded sensations, the good feeling and the old historical friendship between the United States and Germany. These malicious intentions have created among the German-American population the greatest indignation. We, therefore, regard it our duty as loyal citizens to denounce these continued falsehoods and misrepresentations, which endanger the old friendship of the two countries. ' "Second The friendship between the United States and Germany is as old as the history of the great American Republic and has lasted uninterruptedly.- As the government of Frederick the Great was the first European power which acknowledged the young Republic of the United States. Germany was the first to acknowledge the supremacy of the United States in the Philippines. This fact alone proves plainly that Germany has no unfriendly Intentions and no desire to oppose us in the Orient. "Third In the glorious history of the United States, from the time of George Washington to the days of civil war, the German-American population has shown strong and patriotic loyalty to the Union. In the darkest days of the Republic the German-Amei leans stood firm and true by the Union, aa they will do in future. We German-Americans and the Germans in the old country have been cruelly misrepresented. We proved our loyalty during the past war and will continue to prove It whatever the future may bring. But we protest most emphatically against all falsehoods and intrigues which are intended to interrupt in the Interest of England the friendship between tho United States and Germany. "Fourth True to the Constitution and traditions of the Republic, we take a firm stand against militarism and Imperialism, knowing that the German-American citizens stand almost unanimously against this newcourse, which would endanger the welfare and tho future of the Republic."
