hong Wrangle Not Unlikely
Before the Cuban Question
Is Disposed OF.
One Faction Advocates lnde-
y pendence, the Other Inter-
Vention Alone.
Position Of the House on the
Presidents Policy Also
Very Doubtful.

WASHINGTON. April GA debate
which occurred in the executive session
Of the senate during tho afternoon
would indicate that no matter what
was the character Of the resolution to
come from the committee on foreign
relations it would cause serious and
perhaps prolonged discussion. 1t en-
phasized the fact that there are two 81.
ements in the senate-one for indie.
.pendence with Intervention, another
for intervention alone-and these two
factions will fight vigorously for their
ideas. The session was devoted to q
general discussion of the policy to be
pursued towards Spain and developed
the fact that much opposition would be
made to the acceptance Of . policy in
line with the presidents desires
For Intervention Only.
The question was raised by Senator
Allen, who made long speech predict
Ing much dissatisfaction in the country
1t large with a policy on the part OF
the executive that did not go to the ex'
tent of giving the Cubans their entire
Independence Of the mother country.
Senator Allen was followed by other
speakers in the same line, and the fact
was made very evident that If the com.
mittee on foreign relations should
bring in . resolution merely complying
with the presidents request and stop
ping short Of . declaration for indie
pendence, there would be an effort in
the senate to amend it 80 as to accom-.
plish this end. Indeed, the announce
ment was made by more than one sem
ator, that he
Would Onsr Such an Amendment
and by many more that they would
support an effort in the direction OF ad.
ding the independence declaration to a
resolution providing simply for inter-
vention. The committee was therefore
urged not to yield to the wishes of the
president, but to stand out strongly for
complete action. The policy Of the
president for executive intervention
only was criticised az one which would
place the entire question in the hands
Of the president and thus leave the
matter where it now IL, except that it
would be- . voluntary REIMBURSEMENT
Of tho right of congress in the premises
tho right, among others, to declare
war. The greater part Of the speech
making was in opposition to tho execu-
tive and no one attempted to outline
tho probable action of tho committee.

shall leave a mother, also, she shall take
an equal share with the brothers and SIS
ters."
We are clearly of opinion that it was
not the intent of the legislature, that if
the lntestate leaves no issue and no father
the surviving husband or wife shall take
none OF the estate, but that the intent was
that one-half of the property shall de-
scend and be distributed, subject to the
payment of said debts, to the surviving
husband or wife. and the other half 20 the
ilteState's brothers and sisters and to the
children of any deceased brother or sister
by right of representation, provided, if
the interstate shall also leave a mother she
shall share equally with the brothers and
sisters. We therefore conclude that I'M
der this statute the appellant and all the
respondents are heirs of said deceased
with respect to said separate property,
and i'll the proportion above named.
The Judgment and decree appealed
from are reversed.

A SCENE OF TERROR IN INDIA.
A Bengal post-office superintendent
has received from one of his Babu in
spectors this report of an accident at a
river which had to be forded owing to
the breakdown of a bridge:
''As was to pass the river or water
through my cart for absence of any
boat some alligators ran on my oxen
hence the oxen getting fear forcibly
took away my cart in an abyss below
the water of twelve feet which the
cartman failed to obstruct. The oxen
forcibly left the cart and fed to the
other side of the river by swimming.
I myself being inside the matscreen Of
my cart the whole cart fell down in the
abyss. 1 used to cry loudly at the
time. The cart with myself was
drowned in the meantime the Overseer

ting. Both these fires were quickly put
out.
Another shell passed sthrough the
Bostons foremost just in front of
Captain Wildes, on the bridge.
After having made four runs along
the Spanish line, finding the chart in
correct, Lieutenant Calkins, the Olym-
pia's navigator told the Commodore he
believed he could take the ship nearer
the enemy, with lead going to catch
the depth of water. The flagship start
ed over the course for the fifth time,
running within two thousand yards of
the Spanish vessels.
At this range even 6-pounders were
effective, and the storm of shells pour
ed upon the unfortunate Spanish be-
gan to show marked results.
Three of the enemy's vessels were seen
burning and their fire slackened.

On finishing this run Commodore
Dewey decided to give the men break
fast, as they had been at the guns two
hours with only one cup of coffee to
sustain them. Action ceased temporar-
| lily at twenty-five minutes of eight
o'clock, the other ships passing the
flagship and cheering Justify.
| Our ships remained beyond range of
the enemy's guns until ten minutes of
| eleven o'clock, when the signal for
| close action again went up. The Bal
timore had the place of honor in the
lead, with the flagship following and
| the other ships as before.
! The Baltimore began firing at the
| Spanish ships and batteries at sixteen
minutes past eleven o'clock, making a
series of hits as if at target practice.
| The Spaniards replied very slowly,
and the Commodore signalled the
| Raleigh, the Boston, the Concord and
the Petrol to go into the inner harbor
and destroy all the enemy's ships.
BY her light draught the little Petrol
was enabled to move within one thous-
and yards. Here, firing swiftly but ac-
curately, she commanded everything
still flying the Spanish flag.

of Port Hudson on March 81, 1862 the
Mississippi grounded and heeled to
port. The enemy, getting the range,
fired shells continuously into her hull,
until Captain Smith, seeing his desper-
ate efforts We're unavailing, ordered her
fired, and with the crew escaped in
boats. Lieutenant Dewey was at once
assigned to the steamboat Agawam, of
in the following December and January
made two attacks on Fort Fisher.
The old Kearsage which was after
ward wrecked on Roncador Reef, was a
subsequent appointment of the then
Lieutenant Commander Dewey. When
the war closed he went aboard the Col
orado, flagship of the European squad
ron, where he remained two years.
Shore duty at the Naval Academy for
two years preceded command of the
Narragansett, then in special service,
in 1870 and 1871, with torpedo station
duty a year later.
He was made Commander on April
IS, 1873, and until 1875 served in Pacific
survey on the Narragansett, as Light
| house Inspector for two years, and
secretary of the Lighthouse board.

Commodore Dewey was stricken with
illness that compelled him to stop at
Malta. 1t was while here that, through
very delicate surgical operation, by
which part of his liver was removed,
he bravely earned the nickname his
comrades favor him, with.
WAS there ever a more courageous,
able seaman?'' said one of them to-
day. "There's one thing sure about
what liver Dewey has-It is not white"
| Promotion to captain, commanding
the Dolphin, succeeded command of the
Juniata in 1884, and in 1883 he was
transferred to the Pensacola and to the
European station. He came to Wash
ington in 1889, as chief of the bureau Of
equipment and recruiting, served four
years, and with the rank of Commo-
dore was appointed on the Lighthouse
board, and on Admiral Selfridge being
ordered to command the Mediterranean
| squadron made president of the Board
of Inspection and Review.
| Having entirely recovered his health,
which has been delicate, he was given
the full rank of Commodore last fall,
| and, for the first time, had as q naval
officer his own flag.
| Commodore Dewey's wife was a
daughter of Governor Goodwin, of New
Hampshire, and died twenty years ago.
He has one son, George Goodwin Dew
ey, graduate of Princeton, now en-
gagged in business in New York.
