TO REWARD THE CHINESE.
Admiral Dewey FavOrs Making Cttf'.
zens Of the Chinese on
His ships.

Admiral Dewey's recent mail COM
munica ton to the navy department.
has given the most generous recogni-
ton to all those who participated in
any way on board the Anne rican ships
during the battle of Manila, and in
cludes a specific recommendation IA
to the Chinese who are serving in
various minor capacities. This rec
ommendation, affecting the question
Of citize nship, was turned over by the
navy to the state department. where
the following statement was made:
"Iu further proof of the nobility of
character OF Admiral Dewey is his
recommendation to the United States
government that the Chinese servants
and other Chinese who were on the
ships of his squadron during the bat
tie at Manila. aud who rendered most
efficient service on that occasion and
behaved In most exemplary manner,
be recognized by this government in
some substantial manner. He seems
to think that msn who have battled
for our country should not be ex-
cluded from IL. In referring to these
Chinese he says that they showed
such courage aud energy In the face
Of the enemy that they were certain.
" worthy the trea tment accorded Cit
liens Of other countries who have not
exposed their lives for the country
in which they seek citizenship. He
is decidedly in favor of recognizing
these brave and useful Chinese in
such a way as shall admit them to the
United States in case they desire to
enter 1t and 20 become citizens of it,"

"BATTLE OF JULY THIRD. "
Designation which Has Keen Cho.er
for Destruction OF Ger
vera's Fleet.

A name has been found at last for
the remarkable naval battle between
the American and Spanish fleets that
resulted in the destruction of Ger
vera's squadron. The absence of a
name has been felt in the clumsy at
tempts made in official reports to refer
TO the engagement. Lieut.. Whittlesey,
Of the navigation bureau, has evolved
name that is likely to be formally
adopted for the engagement. 1t is
The Battle of July Third"
he does this for the reason that
some of the most famous battles that
the world has known have been
christened as of the date upon which
they were fought. Thus. the Battle
of July First" was attached to the
famous naval engagement fought in
midocean between Lord Howe's fleet
on one side aud the combined French
and Spanish fleets on the other. which
resulted in the memorable victory for
the British navy.

HOT WATER FOR LICE.
A. Insect Destroyer which Does its
work Thoroughly and Can lie
Had for Nothing.

The Messenger very sensibly saws
that boiling hot water is a lice killer
about which we read very little in the
poultry papers; but It does the work
very thoroughly, and is very cheap. In
a poultry house where the pests have
obtained a foothold hot water will
greatly assist in their determination.
The waste water on wash day can be
used for this purpose, being returned
to the stove after IL has served its end
at the washtub and reheated. If the
walls. roosts and nesting boxes are
drenched with this the larger proper
ton of the lice will be destroyed in
stautly, and those which escape will
meet their fate in the coat of white
wash which should follow within a day
or two. II the nursery coops are
turned upside down and hot water
sprinkled over the inner surface until
il flows into and through every crevice,
not q single louise will survive the
treatment. This should be done in the
forenoon of bright day in order that
all dampness may be dissipated before
the brood returns - II az night. We
have rothing laid up against the
lice killer makers. and have no desi Re

cannot buy these things; and while
they are q convenience. II is just as we'll

necessity. The lice can b. conquered
