other supplies that may be needed at

patch from Manila to the New York
Journal says: There has been very
serious clash at Cavite between Unit
ed States soldiers and the insurgents,
the riot resulting in the killing of one
soldier and the serious wounding of
another. George Hudson, member OF
the Utah battery, got into dispute
with a native shopkeeper. Fearing
trouble he fired his revolver in the air
to attract the attention of some of his
fellow soldiers. A great crowd of ma
tiyes ran to the scene of the disturb
aEce and at once began firing their re-
volvers, killing Hudson and seriously
wounding Corporal William Anderson,
of the same battery, who had hurried
to the assistance of Hudson. A de-
tachment of the Fourth cavalry was
called out and dispersed the FiliDinos,
who continued to fire their revolvers
as they retreated, but without doing
any more damage. On the same night
some of the soldiers doing guard duty
saw party Of natives stripping the
wreck of a gunboat which was lying
in Cavite bay. A boat with an armel
force was put off from the shore. The
soldiers hailed the natives. who failed
to answer Then the soldiers fired a
volley, killing one and wounding an
other. Gen. Aguinaldo promptly de-
MED any connection between the na-
tives in these affairs and his army.
Admiral Dewey has transferred his
flag to the Baltimore, the Olympia sail

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Rear Admiral
Winfield s. Schley reached Washing
ton at Al o'clock yesterday afternoon
over the Pennsylvania road. He was
quickly noticed at NEST Of the sta
lions along the line, and throughout
the trip lie was greeted with cheering
crowds. When the train pulled into the
depot here he found compact mass
of spectators which filled the depot
and overwhelmed out into the train
shed. The admiral and Mrs. Schley,
when they appeared. were greeted
with cheers and shouts of ..hurrah for
Schley." EVERYBODY Joined in the
shouting and the depot attaches
crowded about the admiral ard in
sisted on a handshake. At the gates
the crowd increased, and, amid deafen-
ing cheers, the admiral and his wife,
the former with hat off. passed
through two solid lines of people. A
lieutenant and squad of police with
difficulty cleared passage way to the
carriage which was in waiting.
Through mass of vehicles that had
been drawn up by curious drivers the
hanson pulled into Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and proceeded directly to the
Shoreham hotel. There We're

formed voluntary escort The adj
miral stayed only few minutes ut
the hotel and then drove over to the
navy department. where, without any
preliminaries, he reported directly to
Acting Secretary Allen. The latter ac-
co,Gpanied him over to the White
House, reaching there at $50. The
president gave him most cordial re-
ception. The president thanked the
admiral, as he had Admiral Sampson,
for the success of that memorable en-
gasement of July 3, and took occasion
to say that it was that battle which
brought about the surrender of Santi-
ago. The president then entered into
a discussion of the work of the Porto
Rican commission to which the adj
miral has been appointed. He went
over with him the general instructions
which will guide the body in arrang-
ing for the evacuation of the Spanish
from the island and other work. Dur
ing most of the conference, which oc-
cupied about an hour, Assistant Secre-
tary of State Moore was present. On
leaving the president the admiral
drove to his hotel. He said his health
had improved greatly. He will have
another conference with Acting Secre-
tary Of the Navy Allen to-day before
he leaves for New York. From there
he will go back to Westport, Conn. He
will spend few days there before re-
turning here preliminary to taking up
his duties with the commission.

Good.
Washington, Aug. 2S.-The president
has received the following letter from
Gen. Wheeler at Camp Wikoff, Mon
tauk Point, N. Y: Il was very glad
tn hear that you would visit Montauk
Point very soon. The visit of the Sec
rotary Of war has accomplished more
than can express. He has promptly
corrected evils, made valuable sug-
gestions, given directions regarding adj
ministration. In addition, his personal
visit to 1,5OO sick soldiers in the hos
pitfalls has cheered them up, and it is
difficult to adequately convey to you
the change for the better since the Sec
retary's arrival. The announcement
that you would visit the soldiers had
already added to their improvement,
and your presence here for even a
single day will accomplish good, the
great extent of which you can only
realize after you have made your
visit"

Washington. Aug. 26. - The repre-
sentatives of the Cubans in the United
States are still making every effort to
secure the disbandment Of the Cuban
forces and acQuiescence in the policy
of the United States in Cuba. Letters
are being sent and arguments made to
the Cuban leaders pointing out that
the interests Of the Cubans lie in CO.
operating with the United States au-
thorities. Little or no information has
been received as to what effect these
representations will have upon the
leaders in Cuba. but it is believed that
amicable relations can be brought
about when the Cubans are persuaded
that it is to their interest to accept
the situation as the protocol leaves 1t.
