DEWEY'S MODESTY.
Didn't Think He Was Doing
Much During the battle.

Admiral Dewey, writes a
Cavite correspondent of the
Chicago Record, is receiving
hundreds of letters, bales Of
newspaper clippings, invitations
to dewey days" copies OF
Dewey songs and Dewey poetry
and a good many cablegrams.
There are many postcards and
a great mass of short notes, all
very congratulatory and all very
enthusiastic. Some nominate
him for President in 1900, and
others contribute equally glow<
ing prophecies for the future.
One man writes: Dewey, you
are a peach. I'll stick to you
till hi freezes over, and then
lI'll stick to you on the ice" An
other advises him to keep his
health until 1900. A piece OF
poetry has come from Topeka
Capital, which starts out: Dew
ay was the morning and Dew
ey was the man." and follows
this brilliant line with others OF
the same sort. The song, "What
Did Dewey Do to Them?' has
arrived, and if the music comes,
the song ought to have a good
run out here in Manila Bay.
The other versions, GLOW Did
Dewey Do it?" and "Dewey's
Duty Done" have not made
their appearance, but they are
undoubtedly on the way. A car
toon printed by San Francisco
paper, entitled dewey smoke'
Yes, Manila" amused the AID
miral a good deal. Every mail
brings new evidences OF the
popular enthusiasm that has
sprung up in America over him.
What pleased him more than
anything else was an account OF
how his son received the news
of the great victory. Captain
Mahan's statement of how the
battle of Manila Bay was the
most wonderful ever recorded
in history was particularly gratl~
flying to him also, coming as 1t
does from such an eminent naval
authority.
Through all this lombard
ment of compliments and con-
CALCULATIONS the Admiral has
not changed in the least, or IN
dicatee by his manner that the
tremendous hit he has made is
affecting him other than pleas
antly. He said this afternoon
that while the battle was going
on he didn'. feel that be was
doing anything wonderful. The
most trying time was the night
trip past Corregidor, for there
was then no way OF knowing
Just where the Spanish were or
how they would strike. On the
morning of May I, when he
could see the Spanish, he felt
cheerful and pleasant. The work
of leading his ships i'll and clean~
ing out everything in sight was
a detail which at the time did
not seem so impressive.

PEACE

"Grim visaged war has at
last snoothed his Wrlnkled
front" ard Peace, white robed
and beautiful, now rests like a
gentle spirit over this broad
land. On August the I2th,
1893, William R.Day, Secretary
of State, on behalf of the United
States, and his Excellency jules
Cambon, Ambassador Extraor,
binary and Plenlpotentiary OF
the Republic Of France, on be-
half of Spain, concluded and
signed protocol settipg forth
the terms upon which negotla-
tons Of peace were to be based,
Immediately upon the signing OF
this protocol the commanding
officers were wired to cease hos
tilities. The full text Of this
instrument may be found in an
other column.
Our war with Spain was glo-
rious. 1t was born in an in
tense desire to strike from hui
man limos the CALLING letters
of SIS cruel and barbarous des-
potism as ever disgraced the
annals of the world. 1t was
fired by a righteous indignation
against an arrogant, rapa clous,
blood~thirsty, devilish nation
whose deeds Of treachcry aud
scoundrelism and feindish
butchery Of helpless women
and innocent children were a
stencil in the nostrils of God
and a foul botch upon ciVllaza-
ton. 1t was true, liberty-lovlng

to struggling, bleeding, dying,
Cuba. And it is needless to att
tempt to disguise the fact that
the blasted hulk of the Ma ne
and the pale, CHASTITY forms OF
its dastardly slaughtered in|
mates, added vigor, impetuosity
and swiftness to the crushing
blow visited upon Spain. This
war, so holy IN its inception
has been pressed to a glorious
termination. America has
thrilled the world by its daring!
She has furnished deeds of hero
ism whose brilliancy finds no
parrale. in the annals OF history.
Henceforth America, will be
synonymous with dauntless
valor and stainless chiValry.
Let the American people see
to it then, that peace shall be
as honorable as war has been
glorious. Let no principle be.
sacrificed. Let no American or
Cuban interest be jeopardized by
diplomacy, that has been pur-
chased i'll baptism of fire. AL

The Boats New Name .

MI ISIS MARG'RET hated to leave
iVI Towertown in the spring, when
the lily of the valley bed was beginning
to be irresistibly sweet and the lilac
blossoms were still fecking the tender
green grass by the side porch. Still,
her brother Edward-the beloved broth
er Edward, whom she had never visited
since he moved to the city, ten years
beforehand written that he could not
as usual come to see her that spring,
and So she must pay him the long-prom-
ised visit that he and his family had
hoped for so long in vain. Miss Marg'-
ret always smiled at the mention of
brother Edwards family" It had
been the hardest thing in the world to
make herself believe that the pretty
pink-and-white girl was really wife,
and that the sturdy three-year-old boy
was Edward, Jr. The ''baby" she had
never seen, for the tiny maid had ar
rived since the family" had been down
last May for it's annual visit at Ed
wards old home. Mrs. Edward-Lol-
lie, as her husband always called her
wanted to take the new daughter back
cast to see its maternal grandparents
in few weeks, so the sojourn in Tower
town would have to be dispensed with
for thaty year. Consequently there was
nothing left for Miss Marg'ret to do but
pack her little trunk and set off for a
perilous journey to the great and awful
city to see Edward and Edward, Jr.,
dimpled,. sweet-mouthed Lollie, and
best of all the new baby, christened
Margaret, in honor of the prim, little
spinster aunt down in sleepy Tower
town. E%.. a t.,
It was a drowsy, sunny spring morn
ing when the train trailed into the
Towertown station and found a very
fustered little lady on the platform.
At the sound of the stopping of the huge
grinding wheels Miss Marg'ret's thin
fingers gripped closer the various bags
and parcels which she insisted upon
5leaving to the care of no one else in the
world, much to the distress of the freck-
Lied Tom, who edged close to her and
wondered why the ''missus'' had all at

} not capable of managing her affairs, as
she had done since her father died 20
years ago. It was a great point of woe
ITO Tom, too, that he was not allowed to
;go clear to the city with Miss Marg'ret,
for she hadn't gone as far as the hill
farm or even to the cemetery in all
these years since Edward had moved to
the city, without the company of her
faithful servant. Still, she seemed bent

Shall some one kindly say: "H1s life was

Ancient Methods of Signaling.

The fabulous honor of being the
first inventor of the art of signaling
is bestowed by certain classical writer's
upon the ingenious Palamedes. This
hero may have introduced improve
ments in detail, but it is certain that
long before the time of the Trojan
war the Egyptians and Assyrians, if not
the Chinese and other nations of re-
mote antiquity-of whom monumental
records alone remain to us-had de-
veloped regular methods of signaling
by fire, smoke, flags, etc. The great wall
built by the Chinese ages ago, and
1900 miles long, is studded with tow
ers. Between these signals were in
terchanged when troops had to be col
lected in order to resist attack at any
point threatened by the Tartars or
"outer barbarians." BY Maj. Bou-
cheraeder and others it has been con
sidered that the huge tower of Babel
was erected for similar as well as for
number of different purposes. That
is to say, for the signaling not neces-
sarlly OF any particular words or SEN
fences, but of expected events, impe-
rial DEGREES, military orders, and other
matters intended to be understood
through conventional signals, whether
of lights, flags, semaphores or other
devices, by all the motley host Of ma
tionalities and languages of which the
