SCHLEY LAUDS DEWEY.
"He and Every Man in His Squadron De-
serve Every Recognition That a
Grateful Nation Can Restnw.n

Fort Monroe, Va, May 12-Commo-
dore Winfield S. Schley commanding
the flying squadron, yesterday for the
first time consented to give his views
upon the victory won by Admiral
Dewey at Manila. He said:
Admiral Dewey's victory at Manila
must deservedly take it's place side by
side with the greatest navy victories
of the worlds history. 1t has been
urged that the results show such de-
'cided inferiority in resistance as COM
pared with the vigor of attack that
there Is diminution Of the glory, but
that Is untrue, for 1t must first be re-
membered that the greatness of
Dewey's success lies In the calm cour-
age and daring displayed in his de-
cislon to enter a strange harbor, at
dark, under the guns Of many forts and
Drawing the perhaps hidden torpedo or
mine.
THE preponderance of advantage
was certainly with the enemy, and with
the great daring displayed by Dewey
there must fall upon his shoulders the
mantle Of Perry and Farragut. It is
evident that, despite the great risk
every officer and every man knew was
being taken. there was not q faint
heart in all that squadron, but an en-
thusiasm and esprit de corps that
could not but win with such q leader.
I would note, too, that superior educa-
tlon, which brings intelligence, coupled
with perfection Of craftsmanship, aided
greatly in winning the day, and will, l
believe. contribats to future victories.
Admiral Dewey and every man in his
squadron deserve every recognition
that grateful people and nation can
bestow."

Dover, Del, May 1l.--Govornor Tun.
nell to-day returned to tho House, with
his veto, the bill calculated to make op-
crativo tho Investment Tax law, which
was passed mt the las5 session,
Tho movement to make IL operative was
passed carly in the session, and it was be-
lieved that when the bill was passed the
desired end had been accomplished and
that much revenue would result from its
operation.
Should the bill fail to become law the
condition of affairs will bo serious, as the
revenue which is expected will not be
forthcoming and some other provision
must DO made to meet tho deficiency.

to an agreement concerning registration

Rome, May 12.-It will probably be
many days before one Is able fully TO
estimate the gravity of the riots and
the number of killed and wounded. The
two suppressed papers. The Radical
Secolo and The Republican Italia del
Popolo, Of Milan, were undoubtedly
chiefly responsible for the riots there.
The latter journal has been in the habit
for some years of giving Its sub
scribers Christmas gifts of revolvers
and hatchets, the latter inscribed In
the Milanese dialect with the motto
"Dalli al Tronco' ("Strike at the
Trunk'O The regular subscribers
Were largely priests.
1t is said that the editors of all the
Socialist papers throughout the coun-
try have or will be arrested and de-
tnined until complete order is restored.
Evidence accumulatcs that the rail-
way men were chiefly responsible for
the risings. The order calling them
under arms is expected to have a good
deterrent effect.
T. In Milan alone 1000 persons were ar
rested, 600 killed and 1000 wounded.
In one instance 20 students were killed,
at the main station Of the Vicina rail-
way line. Three hundred rioters set
fire to all the railway carriages, and
the military. hurrying up. unfortunate
ly fired upon the firemen who were
trying to disperse the rioters with a
hose. Many of the firemen were killed.
As all the printing houses in Milan re-
fused to print the manifesto. the mill
tary government was proclaimed by
drums and the roar of cannon.
A semi-official note Just issued as
serts that tranquility prevails
throughout the kingdom" According
to the same authority, the Russian
government has officially notified Italy
that rumors of Russia's intention to
prevent the export of cereals are un-
founded

Washington, May 12.--Tho army
movement on Cuba is now fairly
launched, and there is concerted
effort all along the line to begin ag-
gressive operations on q big scale for
the ejectment of the Spanish troops
and government from the pearl of the
Antilles. An order given yesterday
afternoon by the war department for
the purchase of 100000 rations is an
earnest of the scale on which prepa-
rations are making for invasion of
Spain's territory. Of this vast guam
tity oncfourth is to 60 to the Philip
pines, by way of San Francisco, and
the balance to Cuba. Many bodies of
volunteers that were originally slated
for one of the great concentration
camps have found themselves sud-
denly under. orders to proceed direct
to southern points, so that soon vol
unteers from the east and middle west
will be moving swiftly to Florida and
the gulf, while from the far west tho
cars will be carrying troops to San
Francisco.
Contrary to expectations, the day
again passed at the navy department
without news from Admiral Sampson.
Notwithstanding what appear to be
confirmatory newspaper advices rela-
tive to the presence of the Spanish
Cape Verde fleet at Cadiz, the navy
department officials are beginning to
entertain strong doubt Of the accuracy
of the report. 1t was not possible dur
ing the course Of the day to obtain
anything like an official confirmation
of the official report received on Tues
day, but this is not to be wondered at
In view Of the success which the Span
ish government has so far met with in
keeping secret the movements of its
naval ships. Until news comes from
Admiral Sampson of his doings In
and around Porto Rico it cannot be
said definitely what program shall bo
decided on as regards that island.
1t has been suggested that some of
the troop now being hurried so rap
Idly to tho gulf coast may be intended
to cooperate with Admiral Sampson
in the reduction of the Notifications
at San Juan de Porto Rico and the
subsequent occupation Of the island.
1t is felt that the admiral will be in q
rather disagreeable plight, supposing
even that he managed to reduce the
forts with his fleet, If he we're obliged
to remain there in occupation Of the
place for lack Of troops. when he
might otherwise be urgently needed |
either on the Cuban coast or some-
where IN the Atlantic to meet the
Spanish fleet.
The revival Of doubts as to the
whereabouts of the Cape Verde squad
ron caused renewal of anxiety as to
the Oregon. The ship was at Bahia
at last accounts and is believed to
have started a day or two ago up the
Brazilian coast to join SIMPSONS
squadron in the West Indies. She will
have to make run of 5000 miles,
which will occupy the Oregon about
ten days only. 1t Is believed that Ad-
miral Sampson Will do whatever is
necessary in his Judgment to safeguard
the ship In her run up the coast.

In Memory Of Mrs. Edward L. McKeag,
who died May 3. 1898. aged 76 years.

Gone, but not forgotten,
From this dreary land of tears,
Zone to brighter regions,
10 spend eternal years.
Life's long struggle ended,
The victory is wen,
She walks among tho ransomed
In the Blessed kingdom come.
A loving mother from earth Is gone,
A faithful servant too,
Noble kind and generous
Who anything would do
To make the rugged pathway smooth
Or help n righteous cause.
Who worShiDped Goa and bowed
before
His blessed will and laws.
She's missed around the circle
Oi once her earthly home.
No more to this vals OF misery
Again she'll never come;
She's gone to brighter mansions,
Her hours of toll are o'er.z
In robes of white where all Is light.
She walks the golden shore.
No more her gentle voice we hear
In daily talk or prayer,
Among The family circle
Is left q vacant chair.
Which never, never can be filed
Throughout life's longest day;
The form that once there sat
.. Lies silent in the clay.
Hor soul from earthly slumber,
To heavenly light Is flown.
Wen meet with her, hereafter,
Around the Judgment Throne.
May we like her be ready
To leave this vale of tears,
And wear the Crown Of Glory, -
Throughout eternal years.

Madrid, May 12.-At the beginning of
yesterdays sitting the chamber passed
bills for the temporary abolition of the
import duty on raw cotton and the abo-
lition of differential duties on foreign
ships trading between Spain and her
colonies. The former will help the
Catalonian manufacturers and the lat
ter will tend to encourage blockade
running. The indemnity bill was next
passed, almost unopposed, the Carlists
alone voting against it.
In the cortes.a special war budget of
G2.0O0,000 was demanded, with a tax
on land and public securities. The
sinking fund was suspended.
A patriotic syndicate has ben formed
here which will borrow 100000 pesetas
to buy grain at Marseilles and Antwerp,
as all the provinces but one have re-
fused to send more grain to Madrid.
According to reports from Porto Rico,
the people are panic stricken at the
