Dewey's Official Report.


Washington, May THE navy |
department early this morning |
received the long-expected cable
gram from Dewey. 1t was dated
Hong Kong, was in cipher, and
consisted of only four or five lines.
Experts deciphered the cable,
which was made public as soon as
transl ated.
This city was thrown into the
wi dest excitement this morning
by the issue of extras announcing
the arrival of the McCul.och at
Hong Kong with dispatches from
Dewey. The publication of the
dispatches, telling of the terrible
mortality among the Spanish and
the escape of An erican men and
ships added fuel to the flame OF
intense excitement. Naturally,
the news of the overwhelming
American victory was received
with great satisfaction.
At $50 the manager of a local
telegraph office appeared at the
navy department, bringing a sheet
con tanning four lines OF the mys-
terious naval cipher. 1t was
handed to Secretary Long, who
gazed at it with a puzzled cx-
preston on his cotn tenauce for &
moment, aud then turned it Owe,
to cipher expert TO translate i,
into English. Mean while, Secy,
, Alger and other officials of the wa
department, and many members 0
congress came over to the nav,
office to hear the news. About II
O'Clock the secretary gave thu
following translation of Dewey
report to the newspaper men VIII
lhronged the corridors:
"Manilla, May 4 The squadron

"DEwEY."
A second dispatch from Dewey
is as follows:

Birds - sareeona.

Some interesting observations made
by M Fatio on the surgical treatment
OF wounds by birds were recently
brought before the Physical society Of
Geneva In these it was established
that the snipe had often been observed
in repairing damages With its beak
and feathers it makes very creditable
dressing and has even been known to
secure a broken limb by means Of stout
ligAture. On one occasion M. Fatio
killed snipe which had ON Its chest a
large dressing composed Of down from
other parts Of the body and securely
ixed to the body by coagulated blood
Twice he had snipe with interviewer
Feathers strapped on to tho site Of .
Fracture Of ono or oeaser- 2inzh The nost
interesting example was that Of n,ipe
both Of whose legs he had unfortunately
broken by a misdirected shot. He only
recovered it on the following day, when
he found that tho wounded bird had
contrived to apply dressings and sort
OF splint to both limbs In carrying out
this operation some feathers had become
entangled round the De,,k. and not be-
ing able to use its claws to get rid Of
them the poor creature was almost dead
from hunger when found = Public

GASOLINE TRICYCLE..
1t Is Meant to Supersede the Hand
car on RAILWAYS.

"She runs like a scared dog
was the comment of railroad man
who had been trying gasoline
railroad tricycle..
The machine was brought here
to be shown to railroad men and
to convince them of its superiority
over the old style hand pump ma
chine.
The latter is all right on level,
but it pulls hard up hill or against
a breeze. On the mountain roads
in Colorado the track inspectors
have to-walk up the steep grades.
All day the tricycle. was kept
busy taking excursion parties of
two each time out from the Union
depot for a run. The machine
costs $3.50, and is made by the
Sheffield Car company of Three
Rivers, Mich. The power is two
gasoline engines, and the cost of
running is about 20 cents day.
1t can go as fast as 30 miles an
hour, under favorable circum-
stances. and cai. climb heavy

BLACK HENS EGGS
A Woman Who Knew How to
Select Them

The other day a woman went
into grocery and said: II want
two dozen hens eggs. They must
all be eggs laid by black hens"
The grocer said: Madam, I am
willing to accommodate you, but you
have got the best of me this time.
| don't know how to tell the eggs
of a black hen from those of a
speckled or white one" Said she:
II can tell the difference mighty
quick" "If that is 80, madam,
will you kindly pick out the eggs
for YOURSELF" She did so, and
when the two dozen were counted
into her basket the grocer. looked
at them and said suggestively:
"Well, madam, it seems as though
the black hens laid all the big
eggs EYES," said she, that's
the way you tell them Field

Havoc Was Widespread.

London, Sept. 16.-The dis
patches received at the Colonial
Office from the British authorities
in the West Indies indicate as a
whole that the earlier reports of
the havoc wrought by the hurri.
cane were not exaggerated. They
show widespread devastation. Fully
$50 persons have been killed in the
various islands.
Owing to the breakdown Of the
telegraph and telephone systems
the real extent of the disaster is
still unknown, but financial aid is
needed. People are focking into
ST. Vincent from all the country
around for shelter and food. Every
where it appears that all the small
buildings and many large ones
were destroyed, and there is no
doubt that the fatalities were nu-
merous.

Soon the boys came, very stealthily,

began their operations very quietly. and
