ANOTHER VICTORY BY DEWEY
ADMIRAL CAUSES WITHDRAWAL
OF GERMAN GUNBOAT.
INTERPRETED WITH INSURGENTS.
Prompt Action Taken ny Hero OF Manila
Greatly Piesses wsshingtoa
officials.

A cable dispatch from Manila, Wis
Hong Kong, states that the insur-
gents, on July 9Th, reported that the
German gunboat Irene, in Subic bay,
refused TO permit them to attack the
5paniards on Grande island. Rear
Admiral Dewey promptly dispatched
the United States cruisers Raleigh and
Concord 10 investigate the matter.
On entering Subic bay they opened
Ere on the forts. whereupon the Irene
slipped her cable and steamed out by
the other channel.
The result Of the fire Of the Ameri-
can warships was that the Spaniards,
numbering over 500 men, surrendered
everything.
On returning 10 Manila the Irene ex.
planned that she interfered Sin the cause
Of humanity" and offered to hand
over 10 the Americans the refugees
she had on board. Admiral Dewey,
however, declined to accept them.
Oniciai Report From Dewey.
The navy department received from
Admiral Dewey the following dispatch:
"Aguinaldo informs me that his
troops have taken all of Subio bay OK
cept Isla Grande, which he was pre-
vented from taking by the German
mau-of-war Irene. On July 7th the
Raleigh and Concord went there; they
took the island and about 1900 men
with arms and ammunition. No re-
sistance. The Irene retired from the
bay of their arrival.
II shall send the Boston 10 Cape
Engage about July 10th TO second
army detachment. II Is not practical
to send TO Guam. No transport ves-
sells available. DEWEY"
The administration Is very much
pleased with the readiness shown by
the admiral In meeting the grave issue
presented to him ct Subic bay as he
did. Naval officers, too. were not .
little gratiAed ct the speedy retire.
ment OF the German cruiser Irene
after the appearance Of the Raleigh
and Concord.
A comparison Of tho ships show that
the Irene was much the superior to
either Of the two American vessels,
and In tonnage was almost as large as
the Raleigh and Concord together.
From this II Ia inferred that the retire
ment OF the Irene was from motives OF
German policy, rather than from any
indisposition to try conclusions with
the two American ships.
In armor the German ship was much
stronger than the Americans, hut in
guns the Americans had the advantage
in number and general effectiveness.
In official quarters at Washington
there appears 10 DO no disposition 10
look upon the action Of the Irene as o
menace which will require explana-
ton. II was thought at first that this
show OF force upon the part
OF German ships would lead to an in
luiry by this government as TO the
purpose OF Germany. Thus far, how
ever, there Is no disposition TO make
such inquiry. or TO attach serious i'm
port in the incident

DIED-At his home In the vii
lage of Frederic, Saturday January
29th., CHARLES BARBER, aged "a
years.
M. Barber was one of the pioneers
Of Crawford county, and man large
ly identified with its growth. He
served his township as Clerk, Super
visor and Justice of the Peace, with
fidelity and general satisfaction to
his constituents. For more than two
years past he has suffered from a
heart trouble, and for many years
with acute rheumatism, and for the
last two months such agony, that he
was unable to lie down, and was con-
fined night and day to his chair, so
that it seemed, as he said, that death
would be welcome. He leaves his
wife, and one son, Charles S., in
Frederic; Fred. the eldest, q resident
Of Grayling; a daughter, Mrs. Carrie
Scully, of West Branch, and another
son, Robert, in Monroe county, who
will ever remember him ms a loving
husband and q kind and indulgent
father.

The heart of many lumberman
would have been gladdened yester-
day by q visit to the freight yards of
the M. G. r. r. where there were
temporarily on exhibition three
pieces of round timber OF as fine
proportions as were ever seen in Bay
City. The timber was consigned to
New York City parties. They were
white pine, and so, 60 and 65 feet
in length, respectively, averaging
nearly three feet in diameter, with
very little taper, being very nearly as
large at the top as the butt, remark
ABLY straight, free from knots and
clear as a bell the entire length.
The timber was shipped by Messrs.
Sailing, Hanson & Co., OF Crawling,
and was probably as fine specimens
of white pine as could be found In
the state. In these days OF decad-
ence OF the lumber industry, when
big pine trees and long timber are
rare, It is pleasant sight to con-
template such handsome sticks Of
timber, and the mind of old lumber
men, who saw them, naturally re-
verted to the time when pieces of
such dimensions and beauty were not
90 rare as now.-Bay City Tribune.

SOLD MINES TO SPAIN.
Significant Disclosure Made to an American

obtained by the Associated press OF

in London for Spain. A man whose

ton, then said he sold to Spanish
officers in London several years ago
large number of Mines eight
or ten of which were placed
in Havana harbor. He said they
were made in special way, had a
specially constructed cable, which he
can identify If the smallest piece is
produced, and he added that some of
the mines were fixed so that they could
be fred from fort while two of them
had bulbs so arranged that they would
explode upon vessel coming in con.
tact with them. Finally the man ex-
hibited plans Of one Of these mines
which he said was the most likely to
produce the effect described as causing
the wreck Of the Maine. 1t was num-
bered "s," and was constructed to
contain 500 pounds Of guncotton.
Lieutenant Commander j. c. Colwell,
the United States naval attache, has
since investigated the matter and has
made a report on the subject to the
United States government. The facts
learned strongly tend to show that
Havana harbor was mined, and they
unquestionably prove that Spain pur-
chased mines for that purpose.
