MANILA'S AWFUL LIQUORS, A Few Drinks of "Vino" Mends American Holrilm to tho Hospital, Washington, April 19. Among the serious problems confronting General Otis at Manila none has caused great er agitation than the alarming effect produced upon American soldiers, par ticularly the enlisted meu, by a se ductive beverage which they procured in native shops. It produced such physical and mental demoralization as to give rise to a suspicion that the army of occupation was sys tematically drugged or poisoned to render tho men helpless to resist an Insurgent attack. This native drink was generally known as vino. It was exceedingly palatable and Inexpen sive, but a single drink of it unfitted a soldier for active duty for the suc ceeding twonty-four hours, while fre quent potion sent the sotdier to the hospital for a long period of ill noss. When the source of the trou ble was discovered General OtI was disposed to prohibit th trafllo In vino altogether, and to that end he re ferred the matter to General Hughes, provost marshal general of the cjty, with a request for suggesstlous look ing to a practicable eourse of action. Oeneral Hughes . investigated the trouble and his recommendation have been followed. A long a Manila was oiowded wltk troops the wine industry, unrestricted, was lucrative, but now that most of the American are In the field, prac tically all the shop where It had been sold are closed. General Hughe' la dorsemont on the case was as follows! "There are quite a number of arti cles on sale at the wine shops in thl city that are about the same thing. They are a whitish liquor And usually flavored, and sometime tinted by some Innocent elements. They are called numerous names anisado, vino, beno, ttcotch whisky, etc. The bnse of all of them 1 simply alcohol. Commercial alcohol 1 manufactured here extensively from tho refuse of sugar houses. It 1 very pure and strong and can be sold at a price that is far below that at wbloh any other intoxicating drink ean be produced. The wine vender take thl alcohol of commerce and dilute It, perhaps add A cheap flavoring, maybe an Innocent coloring element, and sell It under any name they see fit t-J bestow upon it. Anyone familiar with the old bottle trade can tell about it by giving the various prices of labeled bottles and bottles not labeled. A Scotch whisky bottle with a perfect label I a very different article of trade from one of the same kind without A label. The police are Instructed to endeavor to suppress the sale of these strong alco holic drink to soldier A "There are occasionally shop that get fruit alcohol and put It on al as a beverage. Thl material 1 Apt to produce a very delirious condition, Where suoh shop Are found the police are to withdraw the licenses from the placet " $100,000 LOAN TO QUAY'S SON, two Days After Itato rands Were Depoa liod an Equal Amonat Was Lent. Phii.adki.phia, April 19. When court opened to-day In the trial of ex- Senator Quay It waa evident from the brief examination of Meyer Goldsmith, the expert accountant, by District At torney Bothermel, that Judge Middle's decision ruling out testimony relating to other than the alleged specific con spiracy prevents the revelation of many alleged manipulations by state treasurers and others of the state, funds on deposit in the People's bank Mr. Goldsmith was upon ths stand for less than five minutes to-day be fore being turned over to the defense for oross-sxaminatlon. In that time Mr. Bothermel brought out the fact that on .August , lt)9, 1100,000 was deposited in the bank by State Treas urer Haywood, making the state de posit aggregate, 1000,000. Two day later A loan of 1100,000 was made to Blchard E. Quay on a not Indorsed by Senator Quay. The witness aald the book did not show whether th loan of lioo.ooo was paid off or Dot It has beeo stated, however, that the loan was repaid after the bank closed ou March It, it TO KEEP HIM FROM SUICIDE A fraath Beaato A. a The Uroyfas Us olaraod to Vreaoa.

SHE FAILS TO RETURN MISS HORLOCKER NOT YET IN HASTINGS. MUtaka of Her Arrival f'suned by Con- fusing Her With lltir HUter, MIm Zora HurlcH'ker of New York Vlty, Who Came in th Afternoon. . The promlHes of Mits Horlopker'a friends and attorney that she would bo in Harding Monday to face lu-r ftc- cuwrs havo failed in fulilllmcnt, Tho reported arrival of Miss llor- loi-kcr was cauNcd by confuting her with her sister, Mine Zora Horlockor of New York City, who camo In on tho afternoon train and whose presence In Lincoln it wus thought gave riso to the report. 1 .-. , Instead of the promiitcd preliminary hearing tho proHt-cuting attorney, , W. P. McC'rrary. went to Lincoln. On tho same train was Klieriff John Klnnner- ing, also John C. Htcven of counsel for the accused, , The presumption is that since Mis Korlot'ker did not return as nromlMed the county attorney and , sheriff have j gone to Lincoln to gei requisition pa-1 per and bring her back. It is claimed that she i or has been at hheldon, Ja,, although reports have had her and her mother secreted in ' Hastings for the past week, . . 1 A new feature In the case that 1 causing comment was the departure , from the city of a Judy who Is said to have seen Miss Horlnuker in the hall the day Mrs, Morey received the ' poi soned candy, and should be one of the j state s most important witnesses. Mie is Mr. C. If. Hull and 1 said to be the wife of a major in the Third Nebraska volunteer, now being mustered out at Huvunnab. Hlio ha been residing in the same flats as the Morey all win ter. Hhe left, it is claimed for O'Neill, Neb. ,'. Mrs. Hall Is said to have seen Mis Horlocker at Mrs. Morey' door. It is now stated that Mis Horlocker will be in Hastings for her preliminary hearing ou Wednesday, . Wednesday morning a dispatch from fihcU'.on, la., conveyed the informa tion tliut Mis Horlocker wa under arrest there in compliance with the re quest made by Sheriff Hinimering, and will be held for the Adam county offi cer, hho 1 prostrAteorana under a nurse' care. It ia aald that her moth er and friend have had a difficult time in preventing her from destroying her self. The belief seems to be gaining ground mat jtus iioriocxer is not in possession of her normal faculties.
