Wheeling is very strong in traternal
bodies, and many of the secret society
members are pIominent figures in
= :, Serda1n4. Why would it not be
feasible idea to organize fraternity
league, with competing teams from
each order in the city? There would
be intense rivalry in such an organlZa-
tion, and it would increase interest in
one of the most enjoyable and health
full of winter sports 1t should not
be difficult TO form league with clubs
representing say, the Odd Fellows,
knights of Pythias, A. o. L. W., Ma
sonic fraternity. Knights of the Mys-
tic chain, Essenic Order, Shield of
Honor. B. P. O. Elks. the Hibernians,
and others if a league of more than
eight clubs were desired. Another
suggestion: Why not torm an indus
trial league. with teams from The diff
ferent mills, to bowl Saturday night
gaiaes only?
y is not often that any unpleasant
ness results from bowling games. In
fact the entire absence of friction

The San Francisco call., 1898-05-08

NEW YORK, May 7.-Rear-Admiral Bancroft Gherardi, retired, said to- day:
 "The greatest tribute to the courage and efficiency of the United States navy was paid when the Spanish fleet was destroyed by the guns of Commo- dore Dewey's squadron. That victory is a practical demonstration and an additional proof, if any be needed, that the great advantages in naval action are things e-eminently possessed by our navy: First, the high efficiency of the drill of our men; the constant training they have had in target prac- tice, and the fact that they have been taught that the guns aboard ships are not there to be looked at, but to be used, and that the deadly execution they are capable of doing is possible only by the mems efforts.
 "The victory at Manila was full and complete It would have been impossi- ble to exceed or add to it in any way.
 What is Dewey's achievement? He steams into Manila Bay at the dead hour of night. through the narrower of two channels and as soon as there is daylight enough to grope his way about he puts his ships in line of bat tie and brings on an engagement, the greatest in many respects in ancient or modern warfare. The results are known the world over-every ship in the Spanish fleet destroyed, the harbor Dewey's own, his own ships safe from the shore batteries, owing to the Strat- egic position he occupies and Manila his whenever he cares to take it.
 "Ouick and decisive was the blow. He did not wait to attack the weaker place- but struck home, unmindful of unknown dangers that lurked about him. Although he knew that the har- bor of Manila was so deep and broad that he had little fear from mines or torpedoes at the entrance, he was, of course. aware that at some part of the hay destruction awaited him. Yet he

will relieve two batteries of the Third Artillery and will do duty in the coast defense Notifications. These men with two batteries left from the volunteer quota, 1t Is considered, will be suffi- cient defense for the coast.
 Having been advised by Admiral Dewey that he is in need of ammuni- ton, 1t is proposed by Secretary Long to send him supply without delay. The entire destruction of the Spanish fleet makes 1t unnecessary for man. of-war to be sent as convoy to the troops, and if 1t should be found that it will take quite a good deal of time to collect the number of troops that are re- quired for the service in the conquered islands the Charleston will probably be ordered to take a deckload of ammuni- ton aboard and sail at once for Manila.
 Under direction of Captain O'Neil ammunition for the Asiatic squadron is being put up at Mare Island navy yard. I learned to-day that the Carpenter Steel Company had sent large number of projectiles to Mare Island, and these will be put aboard the Charleston at once.
 Although none of our men are badly wounded" said Surgeon Stern berg to me to-day, it IS still the inten- ton of the department to send out a large supply of medical necessities. The surgeons on board the vessels have probably used a great deal of their equipment in attending to the wounded prisoners. It is therefore necessary to replace that which has been taL n, and the City of Peking will convey supolies to Manila.
 Naval Constructor Capps, with score of mechanics, will also go to Man ila in accordance with the original pro- gramme. It IS believed by the deoart- ment that 1t will be well to attempt to repair some of the Spanish vessels. which will be kept for defense of the islands
 Prompt measures were taken to-day to send coal to Admiral Dewey's fleet. Orders were placed with San Francisco agents to send two shiploads of coal to Manila The work of placing the coal on board the colliers is to commence at once under the contract made. and the ships are to proceed as rapidly as pos sible to their destination. By taking this prompt action the administration believes 1t will be able to prevent Ad- miral Dewey from experiencing any in convenience arising from lack of fuel

took the risk, the same as his famous predecessor and teacher, Farragut who, at Mobile, when he saw one of his ships blown up by a torpedo and another rapidly nearing destruction, said: Go ahead, Captain Drayton. D--n the torpedoes.' What his pu- pills language was we do not know, but he certainly lived up to precepts laid down by the then greatest naval hero.
 Another point which his victory em- phasizes is that aggressive superiority means much in naval warfare. In that quality Dewey was unmeasurably Su- perior to his opponents. His attack was fairly storm.
 Another feature that should not be lost sight of in recounting this deed of bravery is the fact that he was handi- capped woefully in maneuvering. Of course one of the first things done at Manila by the Spanish authorities was to remove from the harbor all guides to commerce, such as lights and buoys. This having been done, it would have required the highest grade of intelli- gence to make use of the limited sail ing directions left in the hands of his naVigating officers. Yet had he been maneuvering his squadron in New York harbor under friendly eyes he could not have been more skillful in avoiding treacherous shoals than he was at Manila. During the period of the engagements his ships were con- stantly moving, yet never went amiss.
 "The lesson in this, as naval experts will take 1t, is that In a wide harbor an opposing fleet once past the forti- fications may retire at any time out of range of the shore guns and recuper- ate
 'It has been mooted point among naval architects-the advantage of woodwork inside ship as compared with other compositions. The question was only partially decided by the Yalu bat tie. I think the Manila fight has con- clusively settled it. The destruction wrought by flying splinters aboard the Spanish ships was. from all accounts, fearful"

FARRAGUT'S MANTLE FALLS
 ON DEWEYS SHOULDERS
At Banquet Rear Admiral Belknap Speaks of the Brilliapcy of
 the Victory.

BOSTON, May 7.-At the banquet of the Massachusetts Club tonight Rear Admiral Belknap said the brilliancy of Commodore Deweys victory filled him with gladness, and he declared that the Spanish navy would be, or should be, the objective point of the United States navy, and the destruction of that navy the sternest aim of our navy.
 He deprecated the unwillingness of Congress in times of peace to make any appropriations for the navy. He highly praised Commodore Dewey, and said that if the official story of his doings at Manila confirms the report of his victory there it will show that Farra- g11t's mantle Of resolution and bravery has fallen upon most worthy and in- trepid successor.

Troops Will Be Dispatched to Aid in Holding the
 Philippines.
Fen Thousand Regulars and VOl- unteeps to Be Hurried to the
 Islands in Transports.

NEW YORK, May 7.-The Her aids Washington correspondent tele- graphs: Troops will be sent imme- diately to assist Acting Rear Admiral Dewey in holding the Philippines. As soon as the official report from Dewey had been changed from cipher to Eng fish the President, Secretary Lon~ and Secretary Alger had long consultation at the White House. Admiral Dewey says he needs men, and 1t was decided that all the men he wanted should be given to him.
 Immediately upon Secretary Alger's return to the War Department he had conference with Adjutant General Cor bin and Major General Miles and the number of troops to be sent to Manila was definitely decided upon.
 I am told that the expedition will leave SSn Francisco some day next week and make all possible haste to Manila.
 The quarter1naster general of Califor mia has already engaged the necessary transports for 10000 men. He wired the department to-day that all ships be- longing to the Panama and Pacific Mail Steamship lines had been put at the dis posa1 of the United States. These are all splendid vessels and are capable of making very fast time.
 Major General Miles says that he can easily get in perfect organization and ready for service 5000 men in perlod of five days In five days more he feels assured that 5000 more troops will be in condition to leave San Francisco. The War Department is very desirous to get the men off to Manila as soon as possible. as in all probability the expe- dition will leave in two divisions of 5000 troops each.
 Representatives from all branches of service will be sent off to the Phil ippines, the Government feels sure that there will be great deal of ac- tual fighting.
 Cavalry, infantry and both heavy and light artillery will leave San Francisco for the purpose of assuring an American victory at Manila and in the surround ing islands of the group. It is the purpose of President Nc Kin1ey to drive all the Spaniards from the Philippines. Owing to the need of some heavy artillery all of the Third Regiment on the Pacific Coast will not be removed to Manila, but l am told that two batteries of this regiment will be sent Four companies of the Four teenth Infantry have been recalled from Vancouver barracks to San Francisco and will surely be sent with the expe- dition.
 It is understood other troops to go to Manila will be taken from the vol unteer quotas of California, Washing ton, Oregon and Nevada. Two of the four batteries of the artillery regiments and two regiments of infa try in Cali fornia's quota will be a part of the ex- petition. Washington will furnish one regiment of infantry. Nevada will send all the cavalry that will go to Manila. There is some talk that Torry's mounted delegation will be with the command of General Merriam It has lso been de- cided to send Shoup's Ranger from Idaho.
 The coast of California will be left amply protected Three troops of the Fourth Cavalry now at San Francisco

The fact that none of his sbins were injured shows conciusively one thing-that the Spaniards were very poor gunners."

 the turmoil and hustle of hot political campaign is question which has not been provided for. We are all so thoroughly ac- customed to having the state turned up- side down and inside out at least biennial ly that failure to follow the usual pro- gram may be attended with serious con sequences. The various political parties have done the preliminary work necessary to start the fun, but there it sems to hang fire. The democrats have out a full ticket with some good men and one bad platform. The prohibitionists have put up a red- headed gentleman to mix up with the peo- pie and try conclusions with the democratic red-headed candidate. The populists are in the field with the initiative, the referen- dun and the imperative mandate, though we don't know what they aim to do with them. Then it will be but little while, unless they break up in a row, till the republicans will have out a full ticket, with Bob Mosely's proturberant abdomen at the head Of it, and some colored brothers to keep up the average. With so much. ma terial for a red-hot race it will be hard if other excitement switches politics oH the track and leaves it as "staie, fiat and unproltable as thrice-told tale.
