Admiral Dewey Will Raise Three Of the
sunken Gunbosts at Manila.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The United
States navy will soon possess more than
a sprinkling Of foreign built warships.
Admiral Dewey has informed the navy
department that he has contracted with
Hong Kong firm of wreckers to raise
three of the Spanish war vessels sunk in
the battle of Manila last May day. The
cost of raising the ships and putting
them in thorough repair will be $780,
OOO.. The vessels to be raised are gun
boats of large type, and, in the opinion
of Constructor Hichborn, they will be
the very best craft for the protection Of
United States interests in the Philip
pines and along the Asiatic coast. They
are the sister ships Isla de Cuba and
Isla de Luzon and Don Juan de Austria.
Besides these vessels there is already in
the United States navy the New Or
leans, the Albany. the Topeka, the Man
ley, the Somers, the Alvarado, the Trite
and Sandoval, all of foreign build, some
captured and some purchased during
the late war.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-News Of a

Dewey touching the situation in thu
Philippines. The admiral sent two of
his warships. the Charleston and the

there was any truth in reports that the
insurgents had expended their activities
in that direction. His cablegram is as
follows: ..SgI

day from Iloilo. Glass reports that the
entire island of Panay is in possession Of
insurgents except lloilo, which is de-
Tended by 800 Spanish troops. All for

So far nothing has bee, lone by the
administration towards curbing the in
surgepts in their operations save moral
representations from the American
commanders to Aguinaldo, in which it
has been pointed out to him that it
would be good policy on account of the
probability of the annexation of the isl
ands by the United States to pursue q
course that would not be obnoxious to
the United States. But the situation is
serious enough to be critical. The i'm
mediate effect of this state of affairs
may be to hasten action by the Paris
conference, for it is only by the ter1nina-
ton of that tribunal that the United
States can come to the relief of the be-
leaguered Spaniards in Iloilo and other
points, the United States troops being
estopped by the usages Of war from
moving beyond their present possession.

JONES' KICK.

0. D. Jones, late popullst candl'
date for governor, in a studied and
carefully prepared interview objects
to the word Fusion and thinks
Union" a better one. He gets upon
very high plane in advocating that
this union of the silver forces be not
made upon the basis of spoils divi
sion, but upon a broad, patriotic
plane Of opposition to the gold
standard and allied money interests
of the east. Then, apparently with
out reason, he descends from his
high plane and commits the very
blunder he cautions against. He
makes an assault upon Hon. ". j.
Bryan, the champion of and leader
in the cause he pretends to hold 80
near his heart He talks lightly Of
the enthusiasm displayed for him at
both the Chicago and st. Louis con
ventions and says that since his de
feat Mr.. Bryan has not made q
speech that showed he was familiar
with the great questions at issue, OF
course, as Mr. Jones sees them.
Mr.. Bryan's voice has been raised
in opposition to the allied moneyed
interest of the east, and the con-
tinuance of the Sound money" or
gold basis. It was thought that
Mr.. Jones considered that of import
snce during the last camp aign. Mr..
Bryan is strong advocate of tariff
reform as his speeches in congress
and on the stump bear evidence.
That is important if the professions
of the democratic and populist beliefs
are to be accepted. Mr.. Bryan has
denounced the efforts of the repub,
lican party to fasten a government
Of injunction upon US by life-tenure
federal judges. II MIR. Jones doesn't
Think that is of Importance and is
destined to become a great factor in
politics he is not the astute politi-
clan and statesman he is represented
to be.
William J. Bryan is too firmly in
trenched In the hearts of his coun-
trymen to be injured by this kind of
a fight, and considering the broad
spirit displayed by Mr.. Jones IN the
last campaign his present attitude
can hardly be credited

The fight over the return OF Han
ma to the senate is of no concern to
the democrats, except the int rest
in watching the result of the revolt
in the republican party against it's
greatest boss. This fight against
bossism in the republican party 10
as rare az it is interesting, and the
strength developed against Hanna
is the more surprising when 1t is
considered that he is not only boss
of the party but owns the Mckinley
administration by virtue of first
mortgage claim. The Pre- sident is
not slow to respond to any call
made upon him from that source, SIS
s shown by his rushing his parasites
from Washington into the Ohio
campaign and now sending them 10
Columbus to pull wires for the great
boss. 1t is even charged that gov
ernment detectives are used to spy
out the doings of the revolters and
report to Hanna. Open charges of
bribery is being made by both sides
and those familiar with republican
tactics are not surprised at that.
