Before brief summary Of tho ca.

given out by prominent officer, in
which it was stated that Dewey cut
the cable himself, but was uuablo to

1t was noted that the cablegram

the officials had concluded that it
was public policy to expurgate tho

DBWEY'S WONDERFUL EX.

A close study of Admiral Dewey's
two cablegrams during tho day only
increased the wonder felt early in
the day by the naval experts at tho
extraordinary results achieved by
the admiral without injury The re-
ports that came before the cutting of
the cables were of characted to
indicate thet Dewey was going to
make quick and thorough work of
the seizure of Manila, but it was
feaacd that in so fierce an engage.

bined with the shore defense, the

ea'life and other injuries. Yet in
the destruction of the entire Spanish
feet AMI the silencing of their forts,
not an American life was lost and not

among he officials to account for
this, bu in the absence of facts it is

happened there and says the outbreak
of typhoid was to be expected. The
Chickamauga camp had the advantage
of starting with all well men, and he
says this one started out with the dis
advantage of having the men sick, and
many of the sick soldiers are suffering
from the most contagious diseases,
According to Dr. Sem, the men who
went from Chickamauga and the other
camps to Porto Rico were already in
the first stages of typhoid fever before
their departure for the West Indies. He
says the germs had begun to propa-
gate in their system. If the men could
have gone home and received home
comforts they would have escaped, but
exposed to the hardships of a campaign
they easily succumbed. Dr. Sem thinks
the best thing to do IS to hurry the
troops away from Montaull and reduce
the camp just as rapidly as possible.
He thinks the regulars should get back
to barracks as soon as possible, and
there remain under the care Of their
regimental surgeons, who could direct
their course of conduct and their diet
Then, he is Of the opinion they would

DR., Brown who is the executive
head Of the general hospital, differs
with DR.. Sem and says there is little
or no danger; that the precautions
are ample and that at the worst. it
would take months for the conditions
which Dr. Sem foretells to prevail.

Cleveland, Aug. &1.-Major Webb C..
Hayes, son of the late President Hayes,
who is said to bc the only volunteer
officer that served in both the Cuban
and Porto Ricau campaigns, and who is
accompanying President Mckinley on
his present trip, has proposed a plan to
the chief executive looking toward the
reorganization of the national guard
under military law
The plan provides that the president
shall appoint an adjutaut general for
each state, that as many bodies of mill
itary shall be raised in each state as
circumstances require and that all Of
ficers of such militia shall benominated
by the governors of the various states.
They would thes be under the direct
control of the national military, and
much difficulty experienced when the
guard was called into service for the
Spanish war would be obvlated. Major
Hayes said he disliked to discuss the
matter now, for the plan was still in an
embryotic state, and he did not like to
go on record until some of the details
are worked out.
Major Hayes, when asked what he
thought of the charges of starvation in
the regiments at the front, said:
Look at me- do I looked starved? l

diers, and have grown hcshy on that

Washington, Aug. S1.-The state de-
partment has not yet been officially ad-
vised of the reported death of King
Malletoa of Samoa, and in all likeli-
hood must remain in official ignorance
of the event for some time to come,
owing to the slow means of commune
cation at the disposal of the depart
ment. It Is the general impression here
that the death of the King will result
in the overthrow of the present form OF
government of the islands, maintained
as II is by the joint action of the United
States. Great Britain and Germany. Of
fetal reports to the state department
show that this government Is the most
expensive and unsatisfactory of any in
the world, having regard TO the popu-
lation of the Samoan group. In the
capital city, Apia, there is maintained
a triparte municipal government at
vast proportionate expense, while the
reports show that 32 rate payers are
Obliged to bear the entire cost For
some years back the existing arrange
ment for the government of the Sa-
moan group mas b'tH satisfactory "
none of the three governments, yet it
has been continued for the reason that
nothing better could be suggested that
would be acceptable to the three ma
tlons. Now there are indications that
at least one Of the parties is coming
around to what was a favorite plan Of
settlement Of the state department,
namely, a distribution of the present
triparte government and an absolute
division of the islands of the group be-
tween the United States, Great Brit
ain and Germany.
