NEW YORK, May 5.-The Her ald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: Active preparations were being made to-day by both the War and Navy departments for reinforcing Commodore Dewey at Manila, and sending out suffi- cient men and supplies to hold the islands and maintain order. If report is received from the com modore within the next few days the details of the expedition may depend largely upon his repre- sentations as to the situation. The War Department is preparing to send about 6ooo men with camp supplies, field guns and horses for the cavalry and artillery. Addi- tional sailors and marines will also be sent to Commodore Dewey, and the Navy Department has directed Admiral Kirkland, at the Mare lsl- and NaVy-yard, to provide pro- visions for 2ooo men for three months. These provisions are for Commodore Dewey's men and the sailors and marines who will be sent out with the expedition.
 As was stated in the Herald this morning the army authorities in California have been given full power to obtain the necessary transports for troops. am in- eformed that bids for these trans ports have already been presented by several steamship companies on the Pacific Coast.
 It has not been definitely decid- ed as to the exact time when this expedition will leave San Fran cisco. The department will take no action until communications

Three days ago he received a long dispatch from Madrid requesting that as early as possible he should quit Canada The dispatch intimated that Sir Julian Pauncefote had reported to Lord Salisbury that the United States Government had made no official or unofficial representation to him rela- tive to Senor Polo, but that public opin- ion, as represented by the press and many public men of broad views in the States, were excited over his stay in a friendly State at and on the borders of the Union by the former Minister. who was in a position to give valuable in- formation to Madrid. Lord Salisbury put the matter before the Government at Madrid, with the result that Senor Polo will leave here tomorrow. He spent the day in preparation for his deDarture.

TRIAL OBJ ENGINE NO. s.

Engine that has been undergoing re.
pairs because she has not done su3h
work as was expected from her at several
fires, had trial Thursday afternoon a,
the corner of Pearl and Lincoln streets,
under the direction of Spare Engineer
Frank Low, Mr.. John Flanders of the
Portland Company, and Engineer French.
The trial was most satisfactory and sue
cessful.
Two 1000 foot lines were laid on Lin
coin street and for the first test inch
nozzles were used. The engine was
started with so pounds Of steam and a
water pressure of 140 pounds was se-
cured. The streams thrown were excel
lent, and would certainly have reached
the fourth story of any ordinary brick
building. One of the lines was then shut
down and with 100 pounds of steam the
engine worked up q water pressure of 24C
pr n Is and the inch str, am was thrown
over two feet. Tests were made with /
1-8 nozzles and then with inch and a
quarter nozz es.
The engine really did her best work
with the Ia inch nozzles, for although
when both lines were used the distance
secured was not very great, yet a treInen-
dous amount of water wss delivered and
1t was thrown far enough to reach the
average fire.

were stated to the executive meeting by
Msr. +. e. Boothby, as follows: ''It is

The ladies cordially appreciate MIR. Nc
Cullum's generous offer of bsnefit per.

will seat over 1000 people, take the occa-
sion to urge our Portland people to ut

The exercises of the graduating class OF

last evening in Assembly hall, High
School building. MIR. Arthur B. Morrill,, /,
was the special speaker of the evening,
and gave thoroughly satisfactory ad-
dress on the practical question: "What
shall we teach our children to be usefulf
The front of the platform was. draped
with flags, and a mass of potted palms,
clovers and daisies were used for other
decorations. The figures "9S'' were also
in the prevailing daisy, with festoons OF

Miss Rice and Miss Tarbox gave two
delightful duets, and each charming
solo. The second duet, "It was Lover
and His Lass" being especially we'll

In presenting Mr.. Morrill,, MIR. Brown
son said that as the speaker was form
er resident, Introduction hardly seemed
necessary, but it gave him great pleasure
to greet here, the state superintendent
of normal schools, in Connecticut Mr..
Arthur B. Morrill,.
Mr.. Morrill, said very cordially he was
always glad to come home again, and
glad to be In that building, where he had
spent SO much time during thirteen years
of his early life, adding that the special
topic he had chosen to speak of that eve
ming was eminently practical one. He
said that some people feel that the ten
denoy OF the age was too much tainted
by utilitarianism, but he felt, that in
teaching, there was nothing ignomini-
GUS in being practical Mr.. Morrill, diyid-
ed his subjects into what he called the
tion, and the second class those in which
more persuasion was demanded in the

too much time was given in the necessary
teaching of arithmetic to the science of it.
instead of the art. He gave a practical
illustration of visit he paid to a New
Haven bank, where all the work in in
terest and discount is done for them, and
the only thing they use is the simple art
of oiphering. The same principle
should be applied to the art of express
sion. 1t being of more practical impor-
tance to know how to use the ttools'' of
this art, spelling, punotuating and SO on
than to know the technique of gram
mar.
Mr.. Morrill, proceeded to emphasize
this broadly significant fact from the
practical results of the work accomplished
in this last century in contrast to that
in following the system of the Platonic
philosophy in a thousand years
In teaching these more Intelligence
studies, Mr.. Morrill, felt the most irnpor-
tant function of the public school was to
instil into children love for reading
and also to make them, realize more OF
the world we live in. Mr.. Morrilps talk
was full of suggestion and enthusiasm.
and in closing, he spoke of one very i'm.
portant thing to be taught, which is good
citizenship.
He addressed o few words of congratu-
lation to the class, who made yery pref

dresses, and Mr.. Brownson presented the
