after the nineteenth round, it must
have been that he had a weak consti-
tuition. Critic left for San Francisco
early this morning, but he and his
trainers will probably be arrested.

DEWEY'S ENEMY.
Awaits Coming of Americans at Su-
big Bay.

New York, April PA dispatch from
London says: News comes from Madrid
that the Spanish fleet under Admiral
Montejo, which left Manila Monday. has
put into Subig bay. where it will await
the coming of Admiral Dewey. The first
naval battle will probably be fought at
this point.
subig bay is north of Manila and offers
natural advantages for the concealment
of the hostile fleet.
Unless Admiral Dewey shall receive in
formation OF Montejo's movement. the
Americans are threatened with a sudden
attack. Montejo is reckless. and the re-
port that he has fed from Dewey's feet
is probably ruse to conceal his real pur-
pose.

After leaving the committee room Mr..
Oyster said to a Star reporter: 1.-The COM
parison which desired to make In my evi-
dence between the two years of 1894 and
1895 under the spoils system and the two
following years under the civil service
showed that a much larger proportion OF
work was done during the latter period
than was the case during the former pc
Rod. while the expenditure was only slight
ly in excess. The percentage of the total
amount expended for labor was consider
ably smaller during the years 1896 and
1897 than during the years 1894 and 1895.
Notwithstanding the fact that the wages of
many employees had been considerably in
creased during the former period. The de-
crease i'll the amount paid for labor during
the past two years was about Si6D,UJo,
showing that the labor of the office was
much more efficient during these two
years.
