The Spanlsh-Ameriean war has not as
yet caused any cessation OF enthusiasm
among the knights Of the grip. Post A,
on the %, had its annual meeting and
elected all the officers and committees
for the ensuing gear. Mr.. Thomas Pom
dexter. president; II. Ellis, Jr., vice
president; II. y. Walthall, secretary and
treasurer. The reports OF the various
officers and committees were very en-
couragIng and indicated progress for this
post. During the year several receptions
had been rendered the businessmen Of
the city. which had strengthened CO.
operation Of both the employer and en-
ployee in furthering the purposes Of this
association In promoting the welfare OF
our commercial enterprises.
Though the organization has no bene-
fetal feature other than accident indem-
mites, yet when the members in their
meetings had heard Of any one whom
they could assist in any way, they were
prompt TO appoint committees and render
the assistance needed. both by personal
visitations and donations from the trea-
sury. Last June Post a delighted the
public with the first moonlight down the
James, and it was gratifying to the mem
bers to hear from the large number that
went with them nothing but pleasant
words, invariably saying Hope you will
have another soon"
The most encouraging part OF the wor;
for the year was the establishing of Tray

NOTHING FROM DEWEY.
No Reason to Believe that Our Re-
iationS with Germany Are
Strained.

Washington. y. c., July 19.-It waa
stated a. the 2avy department today that
no dispatches had been received from Ad-
nliral Dewey relating TO the important
events AT the Philippines described in the
press cables. It is evident. however that
the officials do not now feel the same con.
Germ relative to the attitude Of the German
naval force at Manila they did when the
admlraIS last dispatch was received
II was not So stated officially, but there
is goui reason 10 believe that either
through Ambassador White at Berlin OF
the representative Of the German govern
mCnt here. the state department has re
rCiycd some assurances aS to the attitude
of Germany towards the Philippines that
have in Il large measure rcmovei the
grave apprehension heretofore entertained
that Germany would offer obstacles to the
execution of our plans.
1t IS not known just what the nature
of these assurances is and it may be that
they are based upon some facts cOmmu-
nlcatcd by Admiral Dewey as to the ex-
changes which have taken place between
himself and the German admiral in the
Philippines, for 1t is known that for polite
reasons til" navy department withheld
from publication a Large and important
section OF pcWeyS last Cablegram re
ceivcd several days ago
The reported negotiations between the
insurgent leader, Aguinaldo and the
Spanish captain general, AuguSti have
not vet been reported officially to our
government
1t Is, however. matter of congratulate
ton to the officials here in all the relations
we have had far with the Insurgents
Admiral Dewey has carefully refrained
from committing the United States in anv
way and has never in the slightest degree
relaxed the extreme caution he adopted
originally as his guiding principle III deal
ln- with the Insurgents. tnSavory stories
of previous exhibitions Of lack of integrity
on the part of the insurgcnt leaders had
led the government here to adopt Il cry
wary attitude in all communications with
this people and the same rule of action
now governs its conduct.
II does not follow from this that the
government is convinced that Aguinaldo
is playing false. There is no doubt that
tn" pro-Spanish element in the Philippines
and in Asia would lose no opportunity to
create that impression with a view TO
causing Il breach between the United
States military and naval commanders
and the insurgents. hut the very suggeS-
tion of the adoption ny the insurgents Of
the course attributed to them tends very
strongly to retard the preparation of plans
by the administration to govern the flu
'ure of the Philippines.
