Dewey to be Further Honored.

Washington, November 22.-Rear Ad-
miral Miller, recently detached from the
command of the Pacific station, was placed
on the retired list today on account OF age.
The vacancy thus created in the highest
grade of the navy will be filed by the pro-
motion of Commodore II. L. Howison,
now commanding the Boston Navy Yard.
The naval orders today contain an an
nouncement of the retirement of Rear Ad-
miral Francis NJ. Bunce, on the 25th.

York Navy Yard, generally regarded as
the most important shore command in the
navy. Rear Admiral George Dewey will
be ranking admiral in the navy upon the
retirement of Admiral Bunce next month.
1t is understood that the President will
Recommend to Congress the recreation
of the office of admiral for the special ben
eft of Admiral Dewey and there is not
much doubt that Congress will enact the
necessary legislation.

SYMPATHY FOR SPAIN.
paris Papers Say American Rapacity
Has Not Left Her an Inch of
Territory.

Paris, Nov. 22.-The Soleil, reviewing
at length the peace negotiations, says;
"How miserable is the fate of our
Spanish neighbors. American rapacity
has not left an inch of territory they have
possessed in America since the time Of
Columbus or in Oceanica since Magellan.
But that is not the worst of political econ
omy and administration is going to pieces.
Their parliamentary parties, which, more
over, never had strong root, are complete
" disorganized and no one dares assume
the responsibility of power. The present
ministry remains because no one wishes to
replaceit. But it is almost powerless be-
fore the ills which threaten the country.
Touching the fate of the Spanish SOL
diers who are now returning to a life OF
idleness, the Soleil says; eff they employ
their leisure in conspiring no one can rea-
sonably be astonished.
The Petit Bleu says: "Spain is becom-
ing resigned at the idea Of giving the
islands up, and the cortes will understand
and approve of the inevitable sacrifice"
The Figaro declares that Spain will give
in because she is powerless.

ALLEN AND BRYAN FALL OUT.
Senator's Friends Blame the Colonel
for Nebraska Legislature Going
Republican.
Philadelphia Press.

Omaha, Nov. 2O.-Senator Allen and
Colonel Bryan, after having been the
closest political friends for years, have
fallen out. Their bitterness is apparently
more intense than their friendship pre-
viously was.
The trouble grows ont of the Legislature
in Nebraska being Republican, which will
result in the retirement of Senator Allen.
His friends assert that Bryan contributed
to his defeat because he wanted to remove
from his path a possible opponent for
Presidential honors in 1900. Bryan's
friends deny this and vigorously insist
that Bryan refused to take part in the
campaign because of his position In the
army.
Aliens friends insinuate that Bryan not
only would not say word which might
serve to promote the interests of the silver
fusionsts in the Legislative struggle when
he saw Senator Thurston and other prom
inent opponents making q personal fight
on Allen, but that he wrote secret letters
advising the silver managers to pay more
attention TO the State ticket and the Con-
gressonal districts and let the Legislature
alone.
Aliens friends now assert that instead
Of having removed a stumbling block
from the path which he thinks leads him
to the White House, Bryan has conhibut-
ed an additional barrier to his desires IN
that direction. In other words, they now
assert that Allen must become a candi-
date for Presidential honors in 1900 as a
means of vindication and self-preservation
if nothing more.
Senator Allen has received number OF
telegrams and letters from prominent
Populist leaders and silver men from all
parts of tie country urging him to do this
in the event of his defeat before the Leg
islature. The friends of Allen declare
that he will issue an address to the public
later explaining that those whom he has
trusted and helped politically contributed
to his defeat.

BITTER WEATHER REPORTED At
MANY POINTS and 4 FALLING
MERCURY.
The First General and Severe Blizzard
of the Season Has ArrlYed-A YES
sci, 1t Is Rumored, at Duluth Has
Foundered.

St. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 21.-The first gen.
eral snowstorm of the Winter has prevailed
throughout the Northwest during the past
twenty. four hours, and it still continues
without much abatement.
The snow has been accompanied by o
high wind reaching in many places the
proportions of blizzard. The fall of
snow has not been great, but the wind has
drifed it badly, and many places report
considerable delay to railroad traffic.
Specials from various points in North
and South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Northern Iowa report that the storm
is still prevailing, and local business i'm
peded. The weather observer here pre-
diets that the storm will continue tonight
and tomorrow, and will be followed by a
cold wave.
Battle Ford and Calgary, in the British
Northwest, report tempatures Of "a and 26
degrees below zero respectively, and other
places say zero weather is prevailing.
Locally, the storm has been quite se-
we're. About three inches of snow has
fallen since morning and 21-mile-an-hour
gale has drifted it badly, causing delay to
street car traffic. The murcury is rapidly
falling and the weather observer believes
it will go to l0or Is below zero tomorrow.
Railroads centering here report trains
moving with but little delay.
The storm was especially severe on Lake
Superior, Duluth reporting 7O-mile gale.
A Duluth special says report is current
there that the steamer Hiram r. Dixon,
of the Booth Packing Company's line, has
foundered. The Dixon LETT Duluth this
morning and when last heard of she had
passed Two Harbors. The company offl-
cials, however, say they feel no anxiety
and express the belief that she is safe in
Mara Harbor.

Paris, Nov. 21.-The peace commission
met Jointly at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
The Americans declared the United
States must have the entire Philippine
archipelago, and for treaty ceding the
islands $40, 1000 900 was given Spain
November 2S was fixed as the date upon
which the Americans desire definite re-
sponse to todays propositions and all other
.eubjects in issue here.
The Americans refuse to arbitrate ar
ticle of the protocol bearing upon the
future disposition and control of the Phil
ippines. 1t was declared the purpose Of
the United States to maintain in the Phil
ippines an "open door" to the worlds
commerce. On the terms named the
Americans propose a mutual relinquish-
ment of all indemnity, national or per-
seQal, subsequent to the outbreak Of the
last Cuban insurrectlon.
1t was also announced that the Ameri-
cans desire to treat of religious freedom
in the Caroline islands, as agreed upon
between the United States and Spain in
1886, also to treat of the acquisition OF
one of the Caroline islands for an Amer
lean naval station and cable landing with
rights on other places under Spanish jur'
isdiction and revival Of certain Spanish
American treaties as heretofore in force
After these declarations were made the
commission adjourned till Wednesday

MAY SET DREYFUS FREE.
His Principal Accuser Acknowledges
His Mistake.

Paris, November 20.-A sensation was
caused here tonight by an apparently well
authenticated report regarding the secret
document in the Dreylus case-the one
upon which so much stress was laid by
Cavagnac and other War Ministers as
proving the guilt of the unfortunate man.
1t is declared that this document was a
letter from Baron Freedericksz, the Rus
sian Military Attache here dated at Berlin
and addressed to the French military au-
thorities, stating that the traitor at the
Paris Intelligence Department responsible
for the sale of secrets to the German Gen
eral Staff was certain Dreyfus, captain OF
artillery.
This letter, it is alleged, was privately
shown to officers of the Dreyfus court
martial and was mainly instrumental in
procuring the condemnation. 1t has since
remained in the archives of the French
Ministry, but subsequently Freedericksz
is said to have arcertained that he had
been grossly deceived, doubtless by one
of the agents of Esterhazy and Henry.
who were anxious to fix the guilt upon
Dreyfus to divert suspicion from them
selves.
Nine. Dreyfus, it is claimed, is now in
possession of a letter from Freedericksz
in which he frankly admits his error. 1t
was the existence of this letter, it is said,
which largely influenced the Court of Cas-
sation in deciding recently that DreyfuS
should be requested by cable to prepare
his defense.
The reason given for the Withholding o
the secret document by the French gov
ernment is that its publication would have
caused complications between Russia anc
Germany.

American Colonial Policy In the

London, Nov. 22-Most of the after

Americas colonial policy in the Pacific of

every ground ofinterests for the prosperity
of the Philippines themselves, and as Sc

the community of interests of the two Eng
disappearing nations is thereby definitely
assured

TO OCCUPY CIENFUEGOS.
General Wilson Ordered TO Make Dis
position of Troops.

Washington November 20.-The War
Department has found that it is impracti-
cable to occupy Cienfuegos before the lst
of January, and Major General Wilson,
commanding the First Corps, who was
designated to occupy Cienfuegos, has been
directed to make such disposition of the
troops that were about to sail as in his
~iudgment will best serve the interests OF
the army. A short time ago brigade un-
der command of General Snyder was Or
dered to be placed in readiness for imme-
diate service and occupation of Cienfuegos
Since that time it has been found that
there are now 10000 Spanish troops at
Cleniugos, and that more Spanish troops
are to be sent there, so that the Spanish
garrison cannot be removed in time fol
occupancy 10y the American troops on OF
about December l. This was the date
originally fixed when General Snyder
should 90 to Cienfuegos. Besides, the
1900 troops originally at this place it ha'
been found necessary to send large mum
Der of troops from Havana on account o
the disturbances and mutiny which ha'
occurred there.
The preparations thus far made do no
indicate that the Udited States authorize
are in any great hurry about sendini
troops to Cuba. No ships for transport
have been assembled at Savannah, and nC
orders have been issued for the quarter
masters department to send transports t.

HouIey's Tricks.

Much interest has been excited in Amer
lea by the telegraphic accounts of Hooley,,s
apparently wholesale purchase OF British
noblemen for use as decoy ducks to his
various stock schemes; and his connection
with the highest political officials OF the
Empire. Theron G. Crawford, who has
been in England for The Cosmopolitan,
takes up the subject in the November is-
sue of that magazine, and under the title
of "Hooley and His Guina-Pigs," gives a
connected story of the derivation Of Hooley
and his rise to the control of millions
through unlimited cheek and the opport'
tune willingness of distinguished British
aristocrats to lend their names for q tinan-
cial consideration to any sort OF shady
transaction.
