Dewey as the Hero of the War.

Dewey as the Hero of the War.
Admiral Dewey could, of course. at
any time since May | have bombarded
and conquered the city of Manila; but
although his task of waiting was an ex-
tremely trying one, he had determined
to make no attack that should expose
the city to the danger of anarchy and
rapine. 1t was his policy to wait until
the United States had sent a sufficient
number of soldiers to maintain safe
and firm occupation and prevent tho
disorders that would flow from a state
of civil warfare. With their fatal pro-
clivity for postponement, the Spaniards
had waited week too long. Our COM
plete conquest of Manila had altered
the facts, because it had destroyed the
Spanish argument that Manila WAS pre-
pared to stand an Indefinitely long siege.
1t was, upon the whole, highly fitting
that Admiral Dewey, whose brilliant
exploit on May l had beer the first
great event of the war. should have re-
ceiyed the surrender of Manila and, in
consequence thereof, virtually secured
the American possession Of the entire
Philippine group as the result of the
last naval action of the war. Admiral
Dewey's tact as diplomat and admins.
traitor in these past four months Is not
less remarkable than his boldness and
brilIjancy as naval strategist. More
over, he has shown that well-nigh per-
feet self-mastery which can wait infinite
patience or can act with lightning-like
energy, as the occasion may require.
Manila is so far away. and the news
since May has come in so condensed
fashion, that we have not known in
minute detail how Admiral Dewey was
occupying himself from one day to the
next. But the people of the United
States have felt that the admiral was in
very unusual degree the embodiment
of American pluck. common sense, cool.
headedness, and ingenious resourceful-
ness and SO they have felt great satis
raction in the idea that the Vermonter
in the Philippines could be relied upon
to take care of himself and dominate
the situation, regardless of Spanish
captain-generals and the intrigues of
pompous German admirals, not to men
ton the soaring aspirations of restless
native patriots like General Aguinaldo.
The winning side in every war de-
velops its heroes. We are all glad to
believe that many another officer of our
navy would have given splendid ac-
count of himself if he had, in Dewey's
place, been in command of the, Asiatic
squadron at the outbreak of the war.
But Dewey had especially qualified him
self in advance for precisely the work
he has so we'll executed; and by unan-
imous consent he will rank first in the
list of heroes of the late war.-From

The Burial of Young wheeler.

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 13.-Naval
Cadet Thomas H. Wheeler, the younger
son of General Joseph Wheeler, was
buried yesterday in the family burial
ground on the generals estate, at
Wheeler's Station, Alabama. The
rcene at the grave was very impressive.
The casket was literally covered with
flowers from all sections of the country
north and south contributing. Top
ping all was the dead sailors sword
and belt, and enveloping the coffin was
an immense American flag. General
Wheeler careworn and half i'll, is com
pletely crushed by the death of his son.
He said today that the undertakers
and life savers at Montauk told him
that the young man had evidently lost
his life In trying to save that of his
companion, whose arms were locked
around his sons body in a death grip
while his face was covered with
scratches, evidently from the others
finger nails.

Geneva, Sept 13.-The body of the
murdered Empress Elizabeth has been
enclosed in triple coffin and placed in
room transformed into a mortuary
chamber. The walls of this apartment
are yelled with black drapery covered
with silver stars and several Sisters of
Charity are continually on their knees
beside the bier, praying for the soul

In the course of a second examina-
tion as to his history and the motives
for the crime he said he had never
known his father or mother. He was
brought up at Parma. Italy, in a
charity school, and at the age of 10
was thrown on the streets without re-
sources. He worked as an unskilled
laborer until he was 20. He then
served in the Italian army three and a
half years.
on leaving his regiment he was en-
ployed as valet de chamber of the
Prince of Aragon for three months.
At this time anarchist ideas began to
possess his mind. and-to use his own
words--''prcvente me from remaining
in service"
In the course of a life of adventure
he happened to be at Budapest in 1894
There for the first time he saw EN-
press Elizabeth. He was miserable anC
without work. and applied to the Ital-
