DEWEY Is OPTIMISTIC.

Rear Admiral Dewey when cor
respondent of the Associated Press
called uponyhim, pleasantly but alb
solutely declined to discuss the pclit-
ical situation in the Philippine Islands,
on. the ground that his sphere was
purely naval The admiral seldom
goes ashore, and insisted that his in
terviewer was in a better position to
acquire information than himself. He
then proceeded to cross examine the
correspondent about everything
ashore. He was glad to learn the in
surgents were releasing the sick Span
ish soldiers they held prisoners: not
withstanding Aguinaldo's grandilo-
quent refusal to do SO. This proves
that the insurgents are very concilia-
tory in spite of the defiant talk.
Admiral Dewey always believed
that the insurgents were friendly, es-
pecially since the warships of our
fleet have visited the different ports
in these islands and since some of our
officers have made tours of the inland
carefully investigating popular senti-
ment and judiciously preaching the
gospel Of peaceful settlement every
where with highly satisfactory results.
A few influential natives, in an ambit
ious attempt at self advance, are
clamoring for independence, though
unable to realize its true meaning.
They are utterly ignorant of the diff
ference between the name and the
reality. The agitators there invaria-
bly, admit that they would be unable
to stand without American protection.
But in spite Of this they continue their
meaningless outcry for indepenenee
and may possibly create trouble. The
admiral, however, believes it to be i'm
probable at the present juncture, al
though every trifiing incident counts.
However, every day that passes with
out a conflict means so much gain, be-
cause the friendly feeling is steadily
increasing, incipient roughness is
disappearing, and the agitators are
weakening. The newspapers of Ma
Mia are doing particularly valuable
work in the simultaneous publication
of conciliatory articles printed in
Spanish and in English. The course
is looked upon as being certain to
eliminate the friction which has exist
ed there.
The admiral is greatly interested in
the movement among the American
volunteers to obtain their discharges
there and engage in pioneering enter
prises. He believes there is a practi-
cally unlimited field for planters, far
mers and miners here, and it is sug
gested that if the natives prove to be
obstre porous, perhaps it would be
useful expedient to threaten to hand
them over to the Germans or to other
ungentle land grabbers. tt is believed
the Germans now have abandoned.
their designs in the Philippine Islands
though formerly the German attitu de
there caused Admiral Dewey indis-
cribable anxiety. According to recent
information received, the insurgents
are endeavoring to maintain brave

lar minstrel organizations. The end men,
Dave Blodger. L. Upshaw Charles Brooks
and William Ryan, We're very good. A
number Of songs were sung and jokes
cracked. The singing Of the west end
ouintette was excellent.
Dave Blodger made hit in his rag
time speciality. He is a thorough original
darby. with no frills, and was genuinely
funny.
The cake walk wound up the programme
and IL was the most elaborate affair Of its
kind ever seen in Savannah. The men
were gotten up regardlessly in the regu-
lation full dress suit and high hat and
their partners We're arrayed in varied cos
tunes of much splendor. The walk was
led by Charles Motifs, who is an artist

A SERGEANT MAJORS son.
Milking Out Muster Rolls Is Not the
EasIest Part of II.

Milking Out Muster Rolls Is Not the
Easiest Fart of 1t.
sergt Maj. George Freeman of the
Second Georgia Regiment has returned
to the city on furlough. Since the COM
panies of the regiment left Savannah to
so to their points Of enrolment TO be
furoughed, sergt, Freeman has been in
Atlanta preparing a muster-out roll Of
the field and staff and band of the regl-
ment. This is work that falls to the
adjutants office, and SO the sergeant
major has it 90 do.
Preparing a muster-out roll is by no
means an easy task, as the personal his
tory has 10 be given, correct In every de-
tail, of every man in the regiment The
information the roll has to convey re-
garding a man is so exhaustive that it
must even show every time he has been
on the sick report and how long he was
on 1t. When 1t is considered that a good
many soldiers" spent most of their time
on the sick report, an idea of what this
means may be gained. Any furloughs,
the man may have had, any absences
from camp without permission, any court
maruals thai may sh9Ye been held over
him, and dozen other things must be
conveyed in the muster-out rolls. Get
ting up one is a world of trouble, but
as four copies of the original must be had
it may be seen that there is a great deal
of work involved.
Sergt. Freeman made up his roll, of
which copies must be made, in a week
There are about forty officers and men
embraced in his roll. Those OF the COM
panies must be made out by each. 1t is
believed that something like a week viii
be required for the work
There are about fifty men left at At
lanta to act as guards for the govern
ment property at the camp of the regi-
ment at the exposition grounds. They are
under command of Lieut.. Bryson, who Is
assisted by Lieuts. Persons and King.

Y. VI. c. AS Glasses to BE Organized
Tonight.
The Young Mems Christian Association
offers the young men of Savannah a bet
ter arranged course of Bible study this
year than it has ever before presented
and it hopes that they will appreciate the
kindness OF the busy men, who at no small
inconvenience, have consented to direct
the study for the coming year.
The classes are not for ministerial can
didates; they are for business men. The
aim is to get the widest range, broadcast
view and clcarest understanding of the
Bible possible in the time allotted. The
purpose of the association has been to pro-
vide several courses of study each COM
plete in Itself. but so related to each other
that the student who will follow them in
the order suggested may in a few years
work become familiar with the Holy
Word, both in parts and as a whole, and
with different ways of studying 1t that
he will be aided and inspired to further
and constant searching of the scriptures.
The classes will be organized at the as
sociauons building at $50 O'Clock tonight
They are free to all young men.
