tended, through Commodore Dewey, to the
officers and men under his command for
the gallantry and skill exhibited by them
on that occasion.
Section 3. Be it further resolved, That
the President of the UniIed States be re-
uuested to cause this resolution to be
communicated to Commodore Dewey, and
through him to the officers and men under
his command.
Both Houses also passed unanimously
the following:
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Navy
be, and is hereby, authorized to present
sword of honor to Commodore George Dewey
and to cause to be struck bronze medals
commemOrating the battle Of Manila Bay,
and to distribute such medals to the Off
Gers and men of the ships of the Asiastic
squadron of the United States under the
command of Commodore George Dewey on
May 1, 1898, and that to enable the Secre
tary to carry out this resolution the sum of
$4,000 is hereby appropriated.
Also, a bill increasing the number of
Rear-Admirals from six to seven in order to
enable the President to promote Commo-
dore Dewey to Rear Admiral.
TO OCCUPY THE PHILIPPINES.
At the Cabinet meeting, the policy in re-
gard to the Philippines was considered.
The military occupation of the islands has
been determined upon, and 1000 troops will
be sent to Manila as speedily as the trans
ports and supplies can be secured.
Until the reinforce mentS reach Admiral
Dewey, he will be expected to hold his own,
but to make no attempt to overthrow the
Spanish authority. He would not be able
to do SO, even if he so desired, owing to
lack of men, but it is the policy of the Ad-
ministration to take no further aggressive
steps until the troops reach the Philippines.
When that time comes, if the war is not
over, a military Government will be eS-
tablished in the islands, and there was
some talk to the effect that Gen. B. F.
Tracy, the ex-Secretary of the Navy, would
be selected as Governor. If this appoint
ment should be made, Gen. Tracy weuld UNI
doubtedly be given commission as Major
General but it is more probable that Gen.
Merriam, who is going in comma nd OF the
forces will be chosen as Governor.
All the arrangements for the occupation
of the Philippines are being pushed for
ward with Tapidity, and the endorsements
ought to start in few days. 1t is known
that the cutter McCullech, when it departs
from Hongkong for Manila, will carry
cable experts, who will be able TO repair
and operate the cable. A temporary office
will be established upon the United States
transport Zafiro, of Admiral Dewey's fleet.
and the President and Secretary Long will
be enabled to hold daily conversations
with him. When this communication IS
established the operations will be directed
more satisfactorily than can at present be
possible

A Fertilization of Health

enthusiastic admirer of the old time-tried
remedy, DR.. PETERS BLOOD VITALIzER,
has given this remedy the above appropriate
title. He certainly could not have found a
more fitting name. We have published for
years in these columns, testimonials from per-
sons who have been cured and benefited by
this preparation. 1t is therefore only natural
that We became somewhat interested in read.
ing the following letter. Judging by such
letters, it seems that the claims of the manu-
faeturer of this preparation are very modest,
and that not enough, by far, has been said
in the praise of the medicine We know
that there is certain amount of prejudice
against so-called patent medicine. but the
BLOOD YITALIZER cannot be classified among
them. 1t seems to stand alone as a medicine
and is worthy of attention. Mr.. W. w.
Keebaugh, of Kenesau, Neb., writes, with
the feelings of fathers heart, that it ID
almost too good to be true"
DIR. P. Fahrney, Chicago, Ills, Dear
Doctor:-I do not think it would be doing
you and your BLOOD VITALIZER justice if I
did not add my testimony to that of the
many who have testified about this medi-
cine. / am confident that both my wifa
and six-year old boy owe their lives to
your Vitalizer. My wife suffered terribly
with dyspepsia, and our boy was very weak
and had been subject to spasms since he
was five months old. / had spent over
$500 for doctors and different kinds Of
patent medicines to no use. Two years ago
friend land a true friend he proved to be)
advised US to try your BLOOD VITALIZER,
but we were so discouraged that we told
him we did not feel like trying any more
humbugs-as we expressed it-but he was
so persistent and confident in the merits Of
the medicine, even saying he would give us
bottle, that we gave In. Before thai
bottle was used up we noticed change for
the better. sent for trial box and later
on q large one, and continued to give the
medicine according to directions. That is
now two years ago, and he has not had
spasm since. AT that time he was not like
other children. He very seldom cared to-
play, but now he is hardly quiet long enough
to eat. 1t seems almost too good to be true.
If anyone should doubt this, let him write to
u.s. Our neighbors know all about it. Now
we use the Vitalizer for all common family
ailments. / hope these lines may be of soma
benefit to other sufferers.
Dr. PETERS BLOOD VITALIZER by its
mild yet active properties is pre-eminently
a remedy for children. Its effect is quickly
noticeable by the clear skin, improved appe-
tlte and refreshed appearance 1t eliminates
the impurities from the system and creates
new, rich, red blood. 1t is not handled by
druggists. Only special agents sell it. For
the protection of the public, every bottle has
a registered number on the top of the carton.
Look for it. Address all inquiries to ths
proprietor, DR.. Peter Fahrney, 112-114 So.

Notes of the War.

Current price s are beginning to feel the
effect OF the war, and several OF the COM
modities are showing a tendency to con-
tnue to climb until the dealers are at sea
as to the proper way in which TO purchase
their stocks They recognize the TACT that
if the war continues there will be a still
greater increase. This view world lead
them to lay in supply at the prevailing
prices, and take the chance of getting rid
OF it at a profit. If the hostilitieS are of
short duration, they are of the opinion that
there would be sudden fall, leaving them
in the lurch.
Surg.-Gen. Sternberg, of the Army, has
recognized the Woman's Relief Corps as a
sanitary commission for the District OF
Columbia. Very soon a mass meeting will
he held under the call of Anna A. Beck,
President of Department of Potomac, to
complete plans and effect an organl ton
for this patriotic work. Quite number of
prominent women of Washington stand
ready to Join them in caring for and
assisting the National Guard and National
Reserves.
Commodore Dewey was hOnored in many
ways throughout the country last week on
account of his Manila victory. In New
Orleans the street that has heretofore been
known as Spain street, was formally re-
chriStened Dewey street, and all the signs
there replaced with others bearing the name
of the now famous Commodore. The Yer
mont Legislature passed resolution
heartily indOrsing the patriotism, pa
tience and craftsmanship OF the PreSi-
dent, and also a resolution regarding Com
modore Dewey's brilliant victory, of which
Vermont is proud. Montpelier was deco
rated with flags and crowded with people.
This is the home OF Dewey, and a great
celebration will take place soon.
The 25th Inf. left Chickamauga Park last
week for Tampa, in command of Col. Burt,
who, though officially notified of his ap-
pointment as Brigadier in the Volunteer
army, was ordered to accompany his regi-
ment south Other regiments now in
camp have been ordered to rid themselves
of all heavy equipments OF every sort and
hold themselves in light marching order
1t is expected that all but two regiments
will be sent south within the next week or
10 days.

expected that it will prove itself ready for
service in a remarkably short time, for
nearly every man in it is said TO be good
rider and good shot and knows how 10 take
care OF himself in the open field by day and
by night.
Battery A of Philadelphia was mustered
into the service of the United States at
Mt. Gretna, Pa, May 6, and enjoys the
distinction of being the first command OF
the Pennsylvania National Guard 20 be en-
listed in the Volunteer army. The appear
ance of the men, nearly all OF when were
collegians, and many of them former
famous football players from the principal
colleges, brought forth commendatlon OF
all the Regular Army officers. Capt.
Warburton three Lieutenants, and rs men
were enlisted. Gov. Hastings personally
handed the officers their commissions.
Mai. Thompson read the oath OF allegiance.
Simultaneously each officer and man as
scented to the oath, and after signing the
muster rolls were no longer Pennsylvania
troops. but had passed into the National
Volunteer army. Battery c, Capt. Waters,
followed, and the same ceremony was OBJ
served.
The Vermont Legislature has voted 81
per month for each soldier, sailor and
marine in service from the State. The
Governor was directed to furnish a three
battalion regiment of infantry over 1000
strong, and the Treasurer was ordered 10
borrow S2o0, 900 to cover war expenses.
Mai. E. III. Bartlett, of Oakland, Md, has
formed a company of 100 rif1emen, mostly
mountaineer sharpshooters, who are anx-
iouS to commence active service.
The 16 companies of infantry and battery
of artillery called out as South Cardinals
quota are III camp at Columbia, and are
being examined by the Medical Beard.
Every company will be forced to recruit.
AS the result of the first two days work
3l0 men were accepted and 40 rejected.
The Board was telegraphed that the strict
est requirement for the United States
Army must be adhered to and it would be
held responsible or oversights. The chief
weakness is on eyesight. Men who passed
the sight and color test for eng ineers on
Southern railroads failed here. Under
weight causes heavy loss. Some Of the
rejected men came out with tears in their
eyes.
The 18th n. Y. moved out of Camp Black,
Hampstead Plains, \. Y, last week,
bound for Brooklyn. About one-third Of
the men remained. and Will be put into the
14th Regiment. The order directing Col
Watson and such of his men who did not
intend 10 offer their services to the Govern
ment TO leave the camp, although talked
about for days, came suddenly. The men
were in a turmoil at once, and those who
intended TO remain went about the regi-
ment streets asking their comrades to up
hold the honor of the regiment and remain.
They in turn were asked by those who
would not volunteer to return to Brooklyn
and hold the regiment intact. AS the 18th
filed out they passed the 1sth Regiment,
every man of whom was lined up lust in
side the guard-lines. Groans and Kisses
greeted them, and, despite the orders Of the
74th's officers, the men could not be re-
strained. The 18th Regiment will be dis
banded.

OLYMPIA LED INTO THE BAY.

The Olympia led the squadron into the
bay through the channel and the fleet had
passed COrregidOr Island before the Span
iards perceived them. A shot was then
fred from the battery. to which the Raleigh,
the Boston, and the Concord speedily re-
torted, and the battery was almost i'm
mediately reduced to silence.
The squadron then slowly proceeded up
the harbOr, and when day broke the town
of Manila was seen about five miles dis
tant. The American ships steamed delib-
eratcly along in front of Manila, but with
out opening fire until the Spanish cannon
from the batteries around the town
opened and shots began to strike the
water around the squadron. Then the
Concord fired few shots more or less as
she passed, but the other ships proceeded
silently toward Cavite.
MINES ExPLoDED IN HARBoR.
When nearing Baker Bay a sudden up
heaval of the waters occurred little dis
tance in front of the leading ship, and
quickly following this second water
spout denoted that the Spaniards had
fired a couple Of mines or tOrpedoeS, but
their efforts tob blow up the ships were
absolutely unsuccessful. Almost imme-
diately the guns in the Cavite battery
burst into q heavy cannOnade. The shells
fell in the neighborhood of the Olympia,
but majority Of them fell short, and were
badly aimed. TheHsquadron then drew
nearer in toward the, Spanish feet, and the
battle began in zeal earnest.
The Reina Maria Christina, flagship of
the Spanish squadron, was the center of
attack at the beginning of the action, and
under the hot fire poured in on her from
the American ship& she was seen burn

DEWEY AT MANILA.
Cavalryman, 1895.
BY ALMONT BARNES.

Boys, don't you wish, say, don't you, now
You had been where our gunbOats plow
Their foamy furrOws of the main,
To harvest home the feet OF Spain2
Say, give it straight and ON the square,
Now, don't you wish you had been there
When Dewey took Manila!
Said Dewey, 'I'll get short of coal
Unless hunt into his hole
Some Spanish Admiral Senior
And he's the chap I'm looking for.
Hong Kong has no more coal to Sparal
Manila-guess We'll find it there
Up anchor for Manila!''
Away they went, our Yankee feet,
shining seas and tropic heat
Away 600 miles or more
The notion of a Commodore
One who had shell, not coal, to spare~
Say, boys, don't you wish you'd been there
When Dewey took Maniiaf
He found the bay and tucked so neat
Within the bay the Spanish fleet,
With forts behind, to help them whip
The Yankee pigs, ship after ship.
But Dewey, well, he didn't care
So long as they had coal to spare
For shot, around Manila.
Great Jumboi didn't Dewey pour
Shot into ships and into shore,
Till Spanish fags went reeling down.
And Smitten forts could only frOwni
Then silence held the smoke-choked air
And Spain had learned Dewey was there
The master of Manila.
The Spanish f1eet-there was no feet.
Except where wave and bottom meet.
Seme wounded ships imprisoned ride,
And some were drowned, of suicide.
The forts were beaten blind and bare
A Yankee sailor had been there
Two hours, before Manila.
Give three times three-hip, hip hurrahE
Spain gets just what she bargains for;
Havana harbor holds the Maine
Manila s, the dead feet of Spain,
For every brave man breathe prayer
When battle comes with Yankees there
Like Dewey at Manila.
