DEWEY HATS AND TIES.
H2berdnshers and Hatmakers Have
Adopted the AdmiraPs Name
for Their Goods.

The fact that Rear Admiral Dewey
is the most unpretending man in the
world has not prevented the naming
of a score of articles of dress after
him. The Dewey derby is low
crowned and broad brimmed. The
Dewey tile is tall and rather slender
for the size of its rim. Quite a digni-
fled hat, you would say, even for an
admiral to wear. The Dewey Alpine,
on the other hand, is very soft and
mace of canvas. It is the hat for trav-
cling.
Dewey neckties come all made up
with hook and clasp for uniting them

is GEN. GARCIA DEAD?
The Famous Cuban Leader Is Reported 20
Have Been ShOt-DetaiIs are Lacking.

New York, July 21.--A Kingston,
Jamaica, cable to the Evening Post
says: "Cubans arriving from SibOney
report the death of Gen. Garcia. They
make mystery of it, saying that it
should not be known in Cuba yet or
in the United States for reasons of
state and give no particulars except
that he was shot"
New York. July 21.-The last word
directly received by the Cuban junta
in this city from Garcia was dated
before Santiago, July II. 1t stated
that he was well and that the progress
of events was satisfactory. At that
time Garcia was west of Santiago,
guarding the approaches from expect
ed reinforcements for the city.
Horatio S. Rubens, counsel to the
iunta, when given the information
contained in the Posts dispatch, said
that news of Garcia's death had not
been received at the junta, but that
at best communication with the Gu
ban forces in the field was irregular.
II am greatly surprised" he said,
"but do not find it hard to credit the
dispatch.
During the assault on Santiago,
Garcia was in the west with his COM
mand. with the special duty of inter
cepting reinforcements and cutting
off the retreat of the Spanish soldiers.
when the city fell his duty there
was at an end. The attack on Man
zanillo was then planned. Man1n-
lilo lies to the west, and it is, there
fore, probable that Shafter detailed
Garcia's command to cut off reinforce
ments there. IIolguin lies near Man
zanillo and was garrisoned by con-
siderable force, as the American gen
eral must have known. 1t is not un-
likely that Garcia and his men came
into conflict with a body of Spanish
soldiery bound from Holguin for Man
ZanillO"

ship until peace was declared. The
commodore is a grandson of John j.
Crittenden, who was once attorney
general of the United States and who
wrote the famous Crittenden compro-
mise bill. He is a nephew of Gen.
George B. Crittenden and Thomas L.
Crittenden, who were among the
heroes of the civil war. At the end
of the big family fight the young naval
officer was assigned to different posi-
tions in the service of the department
on land and on sea, and was slowly
promoted until his present rank was
reached. The commodore is high
type of American citizen-cool, fear
less, quick in judgment, and an ideal
man to send after Camara and his war
ships. Mrs. Watson was Miss Thorn
ton, of San Francisco. There are two
sons, Edward II. Watson, an ensign on
the cruiser Detroit, and Thornton l..
now serving his country as private in
the Seventh cavalry. The commodore
will pursue Camara and his fleet to the
docks of Cadiz, if need be. The ships
he will take on the mission are the
Iowa. the Oregon, the Newark flag
ship, the Yosemite, Yankee and Dixie,
cruisers; four cOlliers and a supply
shin.

FORWARD, MARCH!
Three Regiments Leave Camp Thomas and
Begin Trip to Porto Rico.

Chickamauga National Military
Park, Ga. July 23.-The actual move
ment of troops from Camp Thomas for
the Porto Rican expedition began Fri
day when Gen. Haines brigade, the
Second of the First division. First
corps, broke camp and marched to
Rossyille. The regiments included
were the Fourth Ohio, Fourth Penn
sylvania and Third Illinois. The

by Gen. Brooke and staff, the reserve
ambulance company, the reserve hos
pital corps, the signal corps and Gen.

of the Sixth cavalry and Company f
of the Eighth infantry.
The following four light batteries of
artillery will follow, breaking camp
Sunday morning. Battery \, Illinois;
Battery b, Pennsylvania; Battery A,
Missouri, and the 1wenty-seventh In
diana battery.
1t is conceded at headquarters to be
the plan to take the whole of the First
corps to Porto Rico and it is the un-
derstanding that other regiments are
to leave as rapidly as transportation
can be provided, the brigades leaving
the park in regular turn until the last
brigade of the Third division has been
ordered out. The total force will fall
but little short of 40. 600 officers and
men. 1t will require from - to Is
days to move the corps.
