DEWEY WOULD FIGHT
HE Sc TOLD THE GERMANS AT
MANILA BAY.
Plucky American Admiral Advised
Medd1csome' Germans that II They
Wanted to Try Conclusions They
Would BE Accom- III odatcd.


Few realize the difficulties with which
Admiral Dewey had to contend in the
Philippines since the sinking of the Span
ish fleet. Indeed, that feat was the least
difficult of his many labors. says n CORE
spondent of the New York Sun, writing
prior to the capture of Manila. His chief
trouble was occasioned by the Germans.
The latter seemed to take special delight
in violating moral proprieties and disre-
garding Admiral Dewey's regulations.
Admiral Dewey had ordered that there
should be no movement of ships or boats
about the bay at night without his knowl-
edge and permission. That was neces-
sary 20 an effective blockade, and in order
to be legal, blockade must be effective.
The Germans began at once to disregard
the regulation. They sent launches about
after sundown as if there had been no
such regulations. The launches were
stopped by our patrol boats and some Of
them were turned back. The result was
friction between the two admirals. Won
Diedrichs protested. Dewey replied that
his regulation must be observed.
The Germans kept up their work and
Dewey's ships have watched the Ger
mans at night with their searchlights.
1t is particularly offensive to one war
ship to be the target for another's search
light, but that has happened to the Ger
mans several times as the wheeling Amer
lean lights examined the bay to see what

The steamer City Of Seattle has arrived
at Victoria. B. c., from Alaska with over
one hundred passengers, mostly excur-
sionists. Among the passengers were
eighteen miners from Dawson with a
small amount of gold dust. Some of the
miners from the interior say that fears
are now being entertained of a famine
next winter. So far only sixteen steam
ers have arrived from st. Michaels, and
the river is now very low. There are 90
600 persons in the Klondike. The latest
reports from Pine Greek and Atlin Lake
say all the territory around there is stalk
ed out. Several miners have reached the
coast with sacks of dust ranging in value
from $1,000 TO $1,000. A party of twen-
ty men, representing the second half of
the expedition which the Kings County
Mining Company is sending out, has left
New York for San Francisco to meet the

UNCLE SAM WILL BE READY.
In Case of Hitch in Peace Ne4otia-
tions with Spain.

NdSHiHStoH speCihl-
The order of the Navy Department for
the drydocking and repairs of the big
ships in Admiral SIMPSONS fleet indicates
that this Government will not be caught
mapping either by Spain or by any other
nation which may seek to interfere with
the accomplishment of its aims.
1t is the intention of the department to
put all the fighting vessels of the navy in
the very best possible shape during the
existence of the armistice. In the event
that Great Britain should remain firm in
her refusal to allow the ships of Admiral
Dewey's fleet to dock at Hong Kong, ar
rangements will very likely be made to
send floating dock to the Philippines.
This will certainly be dsne if Admiral
Dewey recommends it.
The Navy Department will also see to
it that all the ships of the navy are pro-
vided with smokeless powder during the
armistice. While the ships are at the
navy yards undergoing needed repairs the
sailors who served their guns so gallant
ly at Santiago are to be given liberal shore
leaves to compensate them for the hard
service they have rendered. Some of
them have not had any shore leave for
seven months.
The War Department will take equal
care to do everything possible to increase
the efficiency of the land forces during
the armistice. The troops in the field will
be reduced, probably to 100000. With
only this number of soldiers to look after
the War Department will he able to take
care of all their wants promptly. They
will all be armed with the Krag Jorgensen
rifles, and target practice will be taken up
in all the camps. If Spain should con-
clude to continue the war after the peace
commission has finished its work, or if
any Of the powers of Europe should at
tempt to interfere with the administra-
tons policy in the Philippines. the United
States will be found in splendid shape to
cope with the emergency. 1t is not ex-
pected, however, that there will be any
more fighting and the measures to be TAX
en- by the War and Navy Departments
are purely precautionary.
The administration is pleased with the
condition of affairs in Porto Rico, where
.he Spanish commander, Gen. Macias, is
showing friendly spirit in cooperating
with the Americans in making ready for
the evacuation.

pivore.d from Her srother.ln.law.

There is a woman living in st. Louis
who finds herself in a curious predica-
ment as the result of mistaken identity.
The old story about the identity of the
man Joe Miller, who was twice tried in
both the State and Supreme Courts of
North Dakota on the charge of swindling
some local Scandinavians out of some
mines in Montana mining deal, has
bobbed up again. Allen J. Wine, alias
Joe Miller, was a prisoner at Fargo three
years, and was discharged last spring af-
ter his second acquittal. John X. Gill,
who was bookkeeper in the Minnesota
woods last winter, makes affidavit that he
has discovered the real Joe Miller; that
he WAS brother of the prisoner held at
Fargo so long, and went by the name OF
George Wine. On each trial the case at
tracted unusual attention, as at least nifty
witnesses testified on each side as to the
identity of the prisoner. Those for the
defense alleged that at was a case OF
mistaken identity. According to the story
of the defense, the prisoner was young
er brother OF the real criminal. slightly
smaller and less gray. lie stood the long
Imprisonment and the two trials because
he did not want TO have his brother IN
trouble. and partially because he was in
almost as serious trouble in another State,
where It was impossible TO secure the evi-
dence necessary for an alibi without ad-
mitting his guilt of a criminal charge. The
case W. made all the more interesting by
the fact that the man who claimed to be
Miller married girl named Nansen at
Fargo. He deserted her in Duluth. When
Wine was taken hack from St. Louis she
Immediately identified him as the man she
married, and her testimony went far to-
ward the conviction of the prisoner. AT
terward she secured a divorce from the
prisoner, having notice of the action serv-
ed on him while he was in Jail. Now she
finds herself divorced from her husbands
brother.

AWFUL SUFFERING IN HAVANA.
Condition of Things There Reported
as Horrible.

Reports from Havana picture the con.
dition of things there as horrible. Provis-
ions and other necessaries of life are very
scarce and prices continue high. The co.
lonial government imposed the highest
custopls duties. which continue in force,
making prices high and rendering the sit
uation of the poor very painful. The free
kitchens which have been established in
Havana daily furnish about 10000 per.
sons with food, but owing to the great
number of poor in the city who are with.
out food of any sort, the amount of sup
plies handled by these kitchens is quite
insufficient to relieve the distress to any
great extent. Women and children lie
about the streets. pale and emaciated. and

Father and Son Undergo Horrible Torture
from hunger.
News has reached Vancouver, u. c., of
the terrible experience of father and son
who were sixteen days without food on
the Stickeen river. A man named Jor-
gensen, aged 80 years, and his son, ~
years old, of Seattle, started up the
Stickeen on 4 prospecting trip, taking
with them two years provisions. Their
boat was cspsized and they lost all their
food and their entire outfit. They started
across the country toward the coast, and
for sixteen days they tramped. They ate
grass, toads beetles, were chased by
wolves. and when at last they reached
the coast and were picked .uo they were
mere skeletons. One wore but vest to
cover his nakedness, and the other but
leg and half of tattered trousers.
