Corruption m Manila.
Denver, Sept. 18 Napeleon E.
Guyot, late private of Company G,
First Colorado Volunteers, who,
during the last three months of
1898, served as a clerk under Ma
jor Kilbourne, and later under
I Lieutenant Colonel Potter, auditor
f public accounts at Manila, pub
lishes this evening a signed state
ment, in which the gravest charges
of corruption are made against the
American officials at Manila.
He says the'examination of the
vouchers forwarded to Washington
will show that exorbitant prices
are paid for all kinds of supplies
purchased in Manila; that vast
quantities of high class wines and
other supplies have been purchased
ostensibly for the Spanish hospi
tals, while in the American hospi
tals only the coarsest supplies are
furnished. He sayscourt-martial
of private soldiers charged with
selling government property have
been stopped because they would
result in the exposure of officials.
He asserts that the steal will ag
gregate an enormous sum.

Where a Good Pistol Is Admired.
The Hon. William Wortham,
long state treasurer of Texas, was
in a New York jewelry store one
day when he noticed a show case
filled with splendid jeweled revol
vers, with silver and gold grips and
chased barrels, having precious
stones set into the butts. .
"Lemme see one of these guns,"
he said to the clerk. 1
"Which one, sir?"
"The gold one with the big ruby
in the handle."
' The clerk took it from the case.
It was marked $300, and it looked
even worth more. The Texan took
it tenderly in both hands and held
it admiringly up to the light. Then
drawing himself up to his full
height, which was six feet and a
half, he rested tbe revolver on his
left elbow, crooked for the pur
pose, and looked over the sights
down the long store. Those per
sons who saw him involuntarily
dodged.
"Say," said Mr. Wortham, with
quiet but intense enthusiasm, as
he returned the weapon, "if I was
to wear this gun down in my State
the people would be falling down
on their knees begging to be killed
with it." '
In the South there are 29 negroes
in prison-out of every 1,000. In
the North there are 69 put of every

teach us how to treat the negro.
