REASsURING AOVICES RECEIVED FROM
ADMIRAL DEWEY.
Id,v Waiting for the Arrival OF American
Troops...Insurgents Gain Many Sioto'
ries Over the Spaniards...Eigh Hun
dred Prisoners Held by Insurgents

A report received in Washington
Monday from Admiral Dewey says
that the insurgents have been actively
engaged within the province of Cavito
during last week. They won several
victories, taking prisoners about l,Soo
men, and fifty officers of the Spanish
troops, not natives. The arsenal OF
Cavite has been prepared for occupa-
ton by the United States troops upon
their arrival on the transports.
The Washington officials have been
more anxious than they care to be,
they say, as to Admiral Dewey's con-
dition. They were not seriousl " ap'
prehensive Of personal danger to tho
fleet, but an impression was gaining
ground that the admiral had not
maintained the same degree Of success
in his operations in Manila bay that
rewarded his first efforts. Now the
report received goes to show that
his plans are working out admir-
ably, that he has succeeded in placing
upon the insurgents the burden OF con-
Quoting military operations against the
spaniards, while he himself is lying in
enforced idleness awaiting the arrival
of troops and that he has succeeded In
, preventing the corruption Of the insur
J gent leaders by the Spaniards which
o,,,oorod at ono time to be threatening
There is some speculation by an1iou u!
minds as to how the insurgents vii
treat the prisoners they have take'
= who are more numerous, it is said, thai
all the captures made by the Cuba!
). insurgents since their war began.
y was reported by cable soon after b
Ind secured the cooperation Of the IL
srrgent chief, Aguinadlo, that Admire
Dewey would see to it that the lnsu
Il gents observed the rules of civllize
- warfa e. This caution was made ne
u essary by the terrible tales that hi
been circulated of the barbarous trea
: ment Of prisoners captured by the
surgeons.
Il is sincerely hoped that Aguinal'
will see to it that this agreement is Q
served in the case Of the 1900 pr
oners he now holds, for it is believ
in official circles that the nations
the civilized world will hold the u
ted States morally responsible for q
great excuses that may be commit
in the PHILIPPINES as result Of our
ton there. The navy department
6cials declare that Admiral Dewey

and maintenance Of the prisone
which is most fortunate, consider!
the limited resources Of the admiral

SENATE.

Observation-Disclosures day has been
passed by the senate in fruitless dis
cussion Of the war revenue measure.
Not the slightest material progress was
made at today's session towards dis
posing of the bill. Speeches we're
made by Mr.. Mason, of Illinois; Mr.,
Lodge, of Massachusetts. and Mr.. Ell
kins of West Virginia. The senate,
at $50, went into executive session
and afterwards adjourned.
WEDNEsDAY-An amendment as fol-
lows was offered: "And it is hereby
declared to be the policy Of the United
States not to commit the country more
thoroughly to the gold standard, but
that the efforts of the government in
all it's branches shall be steadily di-
rected to secure and maintain the use
of silver as we'll as gold as a standard
money with the free coinage of both
under system Of bimetallism which
will insure the parity value of the
coins of the two metals, furnish suf-
ficient volume Of metallic money and
give immunity to the world OF trade
from violent fluctuations in exchange"
This amendment elected considerable
discussion, which touched the thread
bare topic of gold or silver standard
at times. The adjustment Of taxes on
various articles of trade consumed
portion Of the day. At CLIO pm. the
senate went into executive session, ane
shortly after adjourned.

to Gen. Joe. Wheeler, now serving as

gave rise to notable speeches from Mr..
Grosyenor, Republican, of Ohio, and
Mr.. Settle, Democrat, Of Kentucky,
upon the obligation of all sectional
feeling and the reality at last of re-
united country. Incidental to the
debate several members reviewed the
