DEWEY NOT AT ALL UNEASY.
rs IN FEAR OF NO FOE FROM
ANY QUARTER.
With Arrival Of the Monterey and
Monadnock Can Hold His Posi-
sition Against the Earth.

MANILA, Dec. 16.-Rear Admiral
Dewey, when correspondent of the
Associated Press called upon him to-
day, courteously, pleasantly, but alb
solutely declined to discuss the polit-
ical situation in the Philippine Islands
on the ground that his sphere was pure
ly naval.
The Admiral seldom goes ashore, and
insisted that his interviewer was in a
better position to acquire information
than himself He then proceeded to
crosse examine the correspondent about
everything ashore. He was glad to
learn that the insurgents were releas-
ing the sick Spanish soldiers they held
prisoners, notwithstanding AguinaldO' :
grandiloQuent refusal to do so. This
proves that the insurgents are very
conciliatory, in spite of their defiant
talk.
Admiral Dewey always believed that
the insurgents were friendly, and espe-
cially since the Warships of our fleet
have visited the different ports of those
islands, and since some of our officers
have made tours of the island, care
fully investigating popular sentiment
and judiciously preaching the gospel
of peaceful settlement everywhere with
highly satisfactory results. A few in
fiuential FilipinOs, in an ambitious at
tempt at elf-adVancement, are clamor-
ing for independence, though unable to
realize its true meaning. They are ut
terIy ignorant of the difference be-
tween the name and the reality.
The agitators here invariably admit
that they would be unable to stand
without American protection. But in
spite Of this, they continue their mean
ingless outcry for independence. and
may possibly create troubles. The Ad-
miral, however, believes this to be i'm
probable al the present juncture though
every trifiing incident counts How
ever, every day that passes without
conflict means so much gain, because
the friendly feeling is steadily increas-
ing. the incipient roughness is disap-
pcaring and the agitators are weaken
ing.
The newspapers of Manila are doing
particularly valuable work in the sim
ultaneous publication of conclllatory
articles printed in Spanish and in Eng
lish. This course is looked upon as
being certain to eliminate the friction
which has existed here.
The Admiral is greatly interested in
the movement among the American
volunteers to obtain their discharges
here and engage in pioneering enter
prises. He believes there is prac-
tically unlimited field for planters,
farmers and miners here.
To the suggestion that if the natives
prove to be obstreperous perhaps they
might be handed over to the Germans
or other ungentle landgrabbers, the
Admiral said he believed the Germans
now have entirely abandoned their de-
sign in the Philippine Islands. though,
formerly, he said, the German atti-
tude here had caused him indescribable
anxiety.
According to recent information re-
lceived here, the Filipino insurgents are
|endeavoring to maintain brave show
for the purpose Of securing the best

terms possible from the Americans IL
is the opinion of our Admiral that II
would be advisable for the Unteo
States to pay insurgent troops their ar
Irears 'of"wages. The whole amount
would be a comparatively trff1ing sum-
and the payment of the troops wouio
have a valuable effect and may save
incalculable trouble.
Admiral Dewey was strongly con-
vinced that the Filipino insurgents de-
serve acknowledgment. He is pc
lever in the practicability OF hberal
measures in the direction OF local au-
tonomy.
Regarding the possibility of interna-
ltlonaI complications Admiral Dewey

litors I felt uneasy, but now l am ready
to hold this position against the Whole

Nothing Like Present Activity Seen
for Years Past.
Exceptionally Good Demand for Both Crude
and Manufactured Iron.
Steel Companies Forced to Refuse
Profitable Orders for Rails for
Foreign Account, Mills Already
Being Fully Occupied So Far
Ahead as to Preclude Irving
for the Business

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Bradstreet' s
tomorrow will say:
Likening the general business of the
country to that of a water course it
may be authoritatively stated that
nearly all the channels of seasonable
trade are at the present running full,
and in some lines of business the stream
is virtually overlooking This is par
ticularly the case in iron and steel,
where production and consumptive de-
mand are alike going on at an unpre-
cedented rate at time, too, when it
is usual to look for quietness in this in
dustry. Nothing like the present activ-
1ty in this branch of trade has been
seen for years past, if indeed, it has
ever been equaled. Advices from all
the leading centers of iron production
are of an exceptionally good demand
for the crude and manufactured pro-
ducts, and at advancing prices, the only
anxiety expressed being that by buyers
desiring early delivery. Probably never
before in the countrys history has it
been possible for an American steel
company to refuse a profitable order for
rails for foreign account, on the plea
that its mills were already fully occu-
pied so far ahead as TO preclude its try
ing for the business.
Higher prices for steel billets, soft
steel and all sorts of car material are
reported, while the production of raw
material is at its maximum. Ship
building, too, contributes its portion Of
activity to the iron trade by its urgent
calls for material.
In other lines of business the situation
as regards prices is a favorable one,
notable among the advances reported
being nearly all the cereals, cotton, cof-
fee, lumber, copper, lead and a variety
of other less prominent staples.
Following the slight recession shown
in wheat values of last week, an i'm
proved demand for export has again de-
veloped, which is evidence of the fact
that stories of keen competition from
Argentina and Russia have been more
or less discounted, the United States
remaining, as for some time past, the
principal source of supply of the world.
Increased interest is being taken in
cotton at the advanced price. Season.
able quietness is reported in the lum-
ber trade, but prices retain all their
old strength and an active demand is
looked for with the turn of the year.
Holiday trade is reported extremely
active at most markets, the countrys
export trade is of the largest volume
ever known, that for November sur
passing the total for December a year
ago, 18th the indications favOring a
totaf trade for the calendar year at
least one-sixth larger than a year ago,

Bribery Charges Against Hanna.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. - At q
meeting of the Senate Committee or
Privileges and Elections to-day, the
charge of bribery against Senator
Hanna made by the Ohio State Senate
in connection with the election of Mt
Hanna to the present Senate was
briefly discussed and referred to a sub
mittee consisting Of Senators Hoar
Spooner and Turley. The sub-commit-
tee will investigate the question, and
practically decide how far it is nee
essary to go into the matter. The
charges were filed during the last ses-

SHOOTING At WALNUT.
Elek Nelson Fires at the Grove
Village Marshall.
From Rural Center.

About 1870 Monday evening, while
Charles Schmidt, who is the village
marshal, was at the saloon opposite
Schmidt's restaurant, he saw Elek Mel
son looking into his windows. He
started to cross the street at once and
Nelson met him in the street. After
the usual words of greeting, Nelson
said, "your father was shot and you
might as we'll be" and drawing q re-
volver he fred one shot. Schmidt, see
ing the movement, struck Nelson's
arm to one side, just enough SO that
the ball barely grazed his left cheek.
A scufHe ensued and Schmidt got
away and ran to his house to get his
revolver. Nelson escaped, and by q
circuitous route went to Deputy Sher-
if Olmstead's house and gave himself
up. Nelson declined to say anything
for publication and this account is OBJ
tanned from other sources.
One of the causes leading up to this
ARRAY seems to be the presence in the
village of a disreputable woman from
Tracy, who was arrested last Saturday
by Marshal Schmidt and was fined
by Justice Perkins. Nelson objected to
the arrest and loudly berated the mar
shall for arresting her, and it is reported
that he threatened to shoot Schmidt,
which he attempted to do.
The county attorney was notified by
Tuesday morning. He came up We'd
nesday and the trial was held in the
afternoon before Justice Perkins.
Nelson was fined $50 auG costs.
