COMMENT ON THE BATTLE.
Dewey showed Himself Worthy OF the
Traditions OF the United states Navy.

London, May 9.-The comment on the
battle at Manila as the details come In is
universally fattering to Commodore
Dewey and the American navy.
The Times says: 1.-THE destruction of
the Spanish feet was complete, as COM
plete as any achievement recorded in
naval annals. Commodore Dewey showed
himself worthy alike of the great tradi-
lions of the United States navy and of
his kinship with the race that produced
Nelson"
The Standard says: Commodore Dewey
has evidently taken AS his model for dis
patch writing that laconic British sailor
of famous memory, who reported a decis-
i've naval victory thus: Engaged enemy
yesterday; captured ships as per mar
GIN"
The Daily News says: commodore
Dewey's dispatches, i'm their conciseness
and modesty. are in accordance with the
best naval traditions. The battle estab-
fishes a record among contests of its kind,
for one of the combatants destroyed the
whole feet of the other without himself
suffering any loss whatever. The victors
carried the who'll job through in a thor
ouhgly workmanlike manner. 1t is espe-
cially worth noting that the discipline of
the American ships is reported to have
been perfect; for generally Spanish au-
thorities and some independent critics
thought this might be n weak point on
the American side. The excellency of the
American tactics and the superiority OF
craftsmanship are likely to be a perma-
nent factor i'm this war. The chief lesson
which the battle of Manila enforces is
Fiat which everybody knew before. name
". that under modern conditions of war
fare. no amount OF personal bravery can
possibly make up a deficiency in weight
and large metal"

TROOPS FOR MANILA.
Two Thousand Troops Are Ready to Start

San Francisco. May S.-The Preside
military reservation. overlooking the
Golden Gate, was the objective point
for most of the people of San Fran
cisco and for many from nearby towns
to-day. Two thousand mt SOL
diers I'm camp there and all ready to
start for Manila were the attractions.
The street car lines were jammed with
people all day long. and thousands of
patriotic citizens wandered through
the camps, regarding wit. interest the
movements of the young soldiers.
The men of the LIST and 9TH infan-
try who are i'm camp are rapidly be-
coming accustomed TO the Sfe of a real
soldier. and all are eager to start for
Manila. The time between now and
next Saturday. when they expect to
sail. will be devoted to drilling. the in
| spection of accoutrements and other
things essential to the Quitting of a
big expedition. The men of the 9Th
regiment. who came from Southern
California. have not yet been mustered
in, but most of them will probably pass
the medical inspection, as they are
picked men and all apparently i'm good
physical condition.

here yesterday. has not yet arrived.

day. Her cargo from Hong Kong and

London. May s.-The Hong Kong cor

No explanation Is forthcoming of the

the awards made, showing in detail the
amounts allowed.
The principal of the claims for vessels
allowed amounts to $264, 1881, and in
terest on this sum Is allowed to the
amount of $149. .790.36, making the total
allowed $413,979.27. The personal claims,
with interest, swell this total to $685.
454.27. Then the correspondence shows
a further allowance was made on ac-
count of the Black Diamond and on the
claim of James Gaudil mate of the
Ada, two claims which had been origin
ally thrown out by the commissioners
on the ground of lack of jurisdiction,
but which were afterwards admitted to
consideration on the Joint application of
Secretary Olney and Sir Julian Paunce-
fote. The admission of these two claims
raised the total of the claims and inter-
est allowed to the sum mentioned by the
President, namely s479 1926.
Secretary Sherman makes the point,
in his letter, that the treaty under
which the awards were made requires
that appropriation shall be made to pay
the award within six months after the
ascertainment of the full amount.

to say that cordially coincide with the

BRIBED A JURY
Politician Kilfeather Now Finds Him
self in Trouble

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. IA Jury In
the United States district court this
evening returned a verdict of guilty in
the case of Edward Gilfeather a we'll
known Democratic politician, and I. H.
Taffee, who have been on trial for jury
bribing- J. w. Walker. indicted on the
same charge yesterday, pleaded guilty,
and G. 8. Blatton several months ago
confessed to accepting a bribe from
Taffe. The bribery charges grew out of
a condemnation suit brought by the
United States government to secure the
right of way through Taffe's land for
the proposed boat railway around the
falls of the Columbia river at Cello.
Bratton in his confession stated that
Taffe wanted s45, 900 for right Of way
through his land, and that he (Bratton)
and Kilfeather, who were jurors in the
case, agreed to secure such verdict for
s2500 each. He stated that each accepted
promissory note from Taffe for this
sum.
The verdict returned for Taffe was for
only 81, 500, and he refused to pay the
promissory notes. Kilfeather and Brat
ton attempted to negotiate the notes and
the matter leaked out. Walker is the
man who brought Taffe and the jurors
together.
