SOME ANXIETY FELT.

Feared Dewey May Have Lost . Con-
siderable Portion of His Men.
WASHINGTON. May 9.-The greatest
anxiety is felt in official circles as to
the casualties sustained by the Ameri-
can feet. From the stubborn defense
made by the Spaniards it is feared that
before they burned, blew up or sunk
their ships they managed to inaict
severe damage upon Commodore Dew
ey's squadron. All of the ships en-.
gagged were vulnerable in one respect,
namely, in their lack of protection to
life. There was not an armored ship
in Commodore Dewey's feet. the near.
est approach being the flagship Olym.
pia. In all cases, with the exception of
some slight protection in the shape Of
gun shields, the personnel Of the ships
was exposed to the fire of the enemy.
If Commodore Dewey has lost q con.
siderable portion of his men it is feared
he will be much embarrassed in the
work of maintaining possession Of Ma
Mia for lack Of sufficient force. It may
be, and in fact it is expected, that by
com bination with the insurgents he
will succeed in having his men relieved
Of the task of garrisoning Manila.

.5 LONDON, May 2.-The British consul
ut Manila has advised the foreign office
that the Spanish feet was practically
annihilated. :
LONDON, May s.-Little additional
news has arrived from Manila, but the
cardinal fact is that Commodore Dewey
is now in possession of Manila bay and
can certainly take possession Of Core.
gido island, even if! he finds difficulty
in effectually capturing Manila itself
owing to the absence of a necessary
landing force. Having thus secured a
naval base he will have no difficulty in
securing supplies Of coal.
LONDON, May S.-Commodore Dewey,
according to a dispatch from Madrid,
gave Captain General August "a
hours to comply with an ultimatum
which demanded all warlike stores and
the entire stock Of coal in charge of the
government officials.
The dispatch says it is believed in
Madrid that the government has al.
ready cabled Captain General August
to comply with the demand, no other
course being open. Grave events may
follow public knowledge Of this compli'
ance.

 "The blatherskites who give cur rency to fool rumors of threatened outbreaks of Mexicans and Apaches are doing Arizona irreparable dam age.-Silver Belt.
 And the fool who has not sense enough to prepare for an emergency when danger threatens ought to get killed. d.-Graham Guardian.
 It was hardly necessary for either of our esteemed contemporaries to get red in the face and abusive toward each other over the matter. Why the Globe paper should have assailed so furiously those citizens of Nogales and other places who have prepared themselves for an emergency which would be possible should the regular army be drawn from the posts and the Arizona militia called out to garrison them, is more than people here can under stand. The Belt should remember that within three years Nogales has suffered from two attacks; in one of which a pitched battle was fought in the streets of the town and a dozen men were slain At that time those who made the attack were made to feel the efficiency of the rifles of the Arizona National Guard. The men who suffered from the deadly fire feel an enmity toward the town that would be like ly to assert itself were the protec- lion of those rifles removed. When Nogales organized her home guard t was thought that Company c would be called away.

CONVENTION OR PRIMARY.
"Democrat" Argues in Behalf of the Conven-
 ton Plan.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In an afternoon paper yesterday ap- peared as an editorial a rather tart two column attack upon those democrats who believe in the free coinage of gold and sil- yer at the ratio of 16 to 1.
 The editorial commences with an har-- angue about the police commission. It says: "On account of the recent appoint ments of two commissioners and the eec- tion of a new alternate for the Eighth ward, politics in Jefferson county have zone to the demnition bow-wows.'
 This is the occasion of its first lament. The writer has not observed that there has been any disturbance of the political waters over the police commission. There is no occasion to weep over the police commission appointments
 This, however, was only the prelude to the play. The great cause of the com- plaint was that certain democrats who be- lieved in the free coinage of both metals at IS to 1, were seeking to force that pol- icy upon the party by nominating in convention six candidates for the legisla- turc, and by sending free coinage dele gation to the state convention. This pa- per argues for a primary. for the legisla- ture and for the selection by each precinct in the county of delegates, delegate and fractions of delegate, to the state con- vention.
 The effect of the plan would be: First, To allow the minority, whose views upon
The age-herald., 1898-01-26

the money question are not In accord with the Chicago platform. to control the men- bers of the legislature from this county. How? By having Q dozen or more free coinage candidates running in the primary, thus dividing the silver vote. The minor- ity, or gold democrats. would then unite upon six candidates of their way of thinking, thus secure their nomination and election and thereby secure the con- trol of the members of the legislature from this county.
 Second, As to the delegation to the state convention. If this proposed plan were adopted, Jefferson's delegation to the state convention would be pro-rated among the several judges. The delegates from some of the precincts would be instructed to vote for one candidate, and some an- other. The delegation would be split up. have no concert of action and be without strength in the convention. Let it be re- membered that the state convention is made up of counties not precincts. The free silver people need no better warning than the threat contained in the afternoon paper. Democrat.
