Dewey, the Vermonter.

Commodore George Dewey, who is the
hero of the day, is a son of the late Julius
Y. Dewey of Montpelier, and is a brother
of Charles and Edward Dewey, prominent
residents of that town. Commodore
Dewey entered the naval academy at Ana
polls in 1854, at the age Of 10, and gradu-
ated in 1888.
His first sea duty was on the Wabash,
with the Mediterranean squadron. Then
he was attached to the Mississippi with
the west gulf squadron, during which time
he was present at the .capture of New
Orleans in 1852. He was in the engage
meut with the confederates below Donald
sonville in 1868, and present at two at
tacks on Fort Fisher, The year after the
close Of the war he served on the Kear-
sarge attached on the European station,
and also on the Colorado on the same sta
tion. On being assigned to shore duty he
was ordered to the naval academy, and
later to the command Of the NaTagansett
on special service.
On being promoted he was again sent to
this ship, and after serving on lighthouse
inspection duty was made secretary of the
lighthouse board. In 1882 he commanded
the Juniata and soon after the end of this
cruise was advanced to the rank of captain.
A year later he became captain of the Dol
phin, one of the first ships of the new
navy, and for three years, from 1885 TO
1888, he was in command of the flagship
Pensacola on the European station. On
the expiration of his cruise he was made
chief of the bureau of equipment, where
he served until 1898.
He was a member of the lighthouse
board from 1898 to 1895. He was COM
missioned commodore in February 1896.
He was president of the inspection and
survey board in 1896 and 1897, and last
November was appointed commander-in-
chief of the Pacific squadron.

The Weeks War News.
The Naval Battle at Manila the Great
Event---the Country AnIIously Await
ing Commander Dewey's Report.

The Naval Battle ut Manila the Great
Event---the Country An1Iously Await
Ing Commander Dewey's Report.
While the week has been one of excite
ment and anxiety with regard to the war
situation, the important events which are
known to have actually occurred are few.
Commander Dewey's Pacific squadron at
tackled and defeated the Spanish fleet at
Manila last Sunday, but on account of the
cable having been cut no detailed informa-
tion has been received, and up to Thursday
morning no facts are known beyond those
given in the dispatches on the fifth page
of this paper. A report from Commander
Dewey is hourly expected. 1t must come,
without doubt, by way of a despatch boat
sent by him to Hong Kong, 700 miles dis
tant from Manila.
All information which is allowed to
reach this country from Spain indicates
that excited and desperate feeling against
the government has been aroused by the
Manila disaster. Martial law has been
proclaimed in Madrid, there are threats of
uprisings in the provincial towns, and it
seems as if complete dissolution of the
Spanish empire were imminent.
The whereabouts of the Spanish fleet at
the Cape Verde islands are very uncertain.
The fleet has left its station there and is
probably on its way across the ocean to
Porto Rico and Cuba. If so it will be met
and battle will be given it by Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet. A decisive engagement
with victory for the American squadron
would mean virtual end of the war.
I The good news of the safe arrival of the
battleship Oregon at Rio Janeiro was re-
ceived last Saturday night. She remained
at that port until Wednesday when she
left for the North to complete the remain
ing 1000 miles of her long and hurried voy-
age. She is conveyed by the gunboat
Marietta, and the dynamite cruiser Buffalo,
formerly the Nichtheroy, recently bought
by the United States of Brazil. Some
anxiety is felt lest an attempt be made by
the Spaniards to interrupt and destroy the
splendid ship which is accounted the most
| formidable warship afloat and the highest
type of a vessel of her class.

Further Particulars of her Great Sue
at Wiesbaden.


at Wiesbaden.
There is an interesting "inside" to the
story of Mary HOwe's singing before the
Emperor William of Germany as reported
in the Wiesbadener Tageblatt and repro
duced in The Evening Phoenix of Monday.
1t is the custom of Kaiser William to
visit Wiesbaden at least once a year and
while there to attend certain performances
in the royal theatre
On the occasion of his last visit Mary
Howe was the "guest' or, as we would
say here in America, she was the star per-
former, and she was to appear in three dra-
matte performances and in one opera.
The Kaiser expressed the wish that when
he should be present a special rendition of
a certain opera should be made. This
opera according to the Tageblatt was "The
Barber of Seville" but in a private letter
it is said to have been the opera "Martha.
Whic hever it was, Miss Howe had never
studied it and she had just a week in which
to memorize it.
The Theatre was profusely decorated
and was filled to its utmost capacity. The
entrance of the emperor was announced by
a great flourish of tIumpets.
The success of the performance was re-
markable, and the American prima donna
was repeatedly recalled amid great applause
in which the emperor Joined with evident
delight.
At the close of the performance the en-
peror requested personal interview with
Miss Howe in one of the waiting rooms.
He expressed great satisfaction with her
singing, complimenting her method, tech
nique, and especially her high notes, which,
he said, were the most perfect that he
h ad ever heard.

Especial despatch to The Brattleboro Evening
Phoenix.
MONTPELIER, Thursday, r. NJ, May ,.
1898 The Vermont legislature assem-
bled in special session at 10 o'clock this
forenoon. Two hundred and eighteen
representatives and - senators responded
to the ioll call.
Speaker Lords resignation precipitated
a lively contest between the friends Of Kit
tredge Haskins and Geo. NJ. Powers for
the succession. Haskinss name was pre-
sented by Darling of Bennington, while
Raymond of Eden nominated Powers. The
ballot resulted, Haskins 120, Powers 81.
The governors message advocates
state payment of s. per month to enlisted
men, and states that the United States gov
ernment has accepted full regiment of
zoos men from Vermont, $50 more than
the quota to keep the state organization
intact.
The first bill in house and senate pro-
hibits alien railroad companies from ac-
quiring an interest in or control of railroad
companies in Vermont without the consent
of the Legislature, and is apparently in
tended to interfere with the program of
the Grand Trunk in Central Vermont af-
fairs.
Three military bills prepared by Col.
Haskins and Gen. Estey were introducedin
the house and three bills prepared at
the request of militia officers in the senate
also, Their features in common provide
s. per month for all enlisted men who
have resided in the state one year, the
same to be payable by orders given by the
men on the state treasurer Also for the
organization of the second regiment Ma
tional Guard of Vermont, also for filling
any future calls of troops from Vermont.
One house bill calls for repeal of the Law
allowing an open season for deer.
Several bills of a general character have
been introduced and it now seems that il
will be difficult to hold the legislature dowr
TO two days session.
Col. Clark will retain command of th'
state regiment, Gov. Grout has so assured

The simple Creed Of AN Early Brattle-

The simple Creed Of AN Early BrattIe-
boro Pastor.
Those who have q taste for historical
will read with interest the adj
dress of Rev. William Wells, delivered in
the new Westinghouse in Brattleborough,
July :, 1slG," the essential part Of which is
reprinted elsewhere in this paper. 1t goes
without saying that Mr.. Wells was not
orthodox in his theology. The liberal
movement in religion had then begun, and
the Brattleboro pastor, then "between 20
and So" was evidently one of the pioneers
in declaring the views which William
Ellery Claiming was almost at that very
time beginning to preach with such win
ming and convincing force, compelling the
respectful attention of the religious world.
This address shows that while Mr.. Wells
had decided convictions which he could
defend with spirit and yigor, he also pos
sessed spirit Of genuine tolerance and
had no condemnation - heap on those
who differed from nil. lie protested
with warm earnesiness against any attempt
to brand him with "opprobrious names
as an enemy of the truth, and one smiles
at his naiye and compassionate reference
to those young men" who felt themselves
to be so competent to correct his errors /;
but beyond this lie found controversy over
questions Of belief Of no use or avail. In
his view repentance, faith, and right living
were the essentials of religion. And the
whole Christian world moves more and
more toward that simple creed.

Naval rank at the top of the service is
peculiar in this country. Thus we have
neither admirals nor vice admirals, but
only rear admirals The ranks of admiral
them. Rear Admiral Sampson is really
captain, who for the purpose of exercising
undisputed authority over the north Allan
tic squadron, has been given higher "acting"
rank. A similar distinction has been con
ferred on Commodore Dewey, who will be
promoted to the full rank soon. Our rear
admirals are habitually referred to as ad-
mirals in all save purely official papers.

OFF TO THE FIELD.
The Estey Guards Departure
This Morning

Amid a Splendid Demonstration by the
whole Community---Roster of the
Company.
Several thousand Brattleboro people
were astlr early this, Friday, morning, to
cheer the members of the Estey Guard and
to give them best wishes as they departed
to enter the service of the United States.
Work was begun at an early hour at the
armory, and the men were in the ranks
ready to start before : o'clock. Rev. w.
II. Collins and Rev. Father Cunningham
addressed the boys briefly, the former offer
ing prayer.
The First Regiment band headed the
procession, and the Fuller Battery acted
as escort to the company. Three regi-
mental officers, Major j. G.. Estey, Adju-
tant d. F. Curtin and Rev. c. O. Day
marched in front of the company of over
100 men. During the march and at the
railroad station the band stirred the peo-
Pile to enthusiasm with patriotic airs.
The procession moved up School through
Green, Whpple, Oak, Williston and
Linden streets and down Main street to
the railroad station.
The streets were aname with coors, dis
played on houses and carried by hundreds
of people.
Organizations formed on Main street
cheered the boys as they passed, and then
fell INTO the procession behind them.
There were hundreds of school children
carrying flags, the Boys Battalion in uni
form, citizens carrying flags, the Catholic
Order of Foresters, the Vermont Wheel
club. Sons of Veterans and Grand Army
men in uniform.
Arriving at the railroad station the SOL
dier boys formed in line facing the crowd,
and while the train was being prepared
good-byes were said. There was cheering,
but many Hearts felt the possibilities of
the situation TOO deeply for cheers, and
on every side could be seen eyes dimmed
with tears.
Before o'clock the boys were all
aboard. the big guns of Fuller Battery on
the island gave resounding signal and
| the train started, bearing the boys who had
responded to their country's call. and who
if the crisis comes, will give an honorable
account Of themselves, as did the boys OF
