DEWEY HAD THE
 STORY SUPPRESSED

London, July 1r.-The Daily Mails Hong Kong correspondent says: It is now known here that Admiral Dewey requested the correspondents at Manila not to give the full story of the Irene incident, for fear of arousing feeling in America which might lead to complications with Germany. When the full details transpire it will be seen that the incident was more serious than it at first appeared to be. As soon as the American ships came on the scene of action
 in Subig bay, the Irene slipped her cable' leaving her anchor in the bay. American Consul Wildman refuses to say more than this, taking the same line of policy as Admiral Dewey. It is believed by those who know Admiral Dewey that on the ar rival of the monitors Monterey and Mo- nadnock he will insist upon his harbor reg ulations being carried out to the letter.
 The opinion among the foreigners at Ma nila is that the Americans will never for- give the Germans for their meddlesome attitude in the Philippines. It will not only hurt German trade with America, put will also effectualy destroy all Of Ger many's chances of having any say or influ- ence in the disposition of the Philippines if they should become American property.

Honolulu. July S.-The transports arrived yesterday. closely followed by the Newport. There was a slight accident to the machln- cry of the latter on the way. As result she was hove to for several hours. After she arrived it was given out that she would coal as fast as possible and hurry to Ma nila without regard to other vessels of the expedition in port
 At 5:3O this morning the Indiana raised anchor and moved outside the harbor. She was followed closely by the Ohio and Nor gan City. At 9:30 the City of Para moved outside and joined the fleet. Just before noon the Valencia and Newport, the lat ter with General Merritt and staff on board left the harbor, the signal to sail was given and the vessels moved off. Be- fore dark the Indiana returned, accompa- nied by the rest of the fleet, with the ex- ception of the Newport, which went on ahead. The officers of the Indiana report ed that the bunkers had sprung leak. It will take twelve hours to make the re- pairs. The fleet will make another start early tomorrow.
 Murat Halstead arrived by the Newport. He has a low fever. and may return to San Francisco unless he improves.

excellence of the song consists not so
much in its IOudness. or even in its tone.
as in varied repetitiOns of certain strains.
The birds are classed according TO the
tunes they sing. There are twenty-five
different strains. and some birds have
compass of four octaves- The education
of the canary involves six months OF in
cessant watchfulness and activity on the
part of the breeder. When the birds have

properly. After two months they are put
singly into smaller cages, and placed in
a room with the master bird, yet so that
they cannot see each other. Now comes
the testing of the young voices, and the
breeder listens carefully to judge their
quality and the progress the birds are
making. The best singers are picked out
and put into what are called Singing
boxes" small wire, darkened cages,
placed inside tin box. At one side is a
curtain which is withdrawn when the
bird Is TO sing. The greatest care is taxi
en- that the canaries never hear an infe-
rior bird, or, In fact, any other sort of
bird, as they are apt quickly to learn
wrong notes, and so spoil their song.
The birds, too, are kept very quiet, and

of the skliobner's marvellous alacrity and
skill, it may be mentioned that from
seven to nine seconds is the usual time
employed for the whole descent of some
thing like $50 yards, including the final
wonderful ump. A "hop' of from sixty TO

TEACHING CANARIES.
Some Points About the Musical Edu-

(From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat)

(From the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.)
The musical academy of the canary
breeder has its professors, the stamp OF
whose style is left on the pupils as dis
tinctly as that of the vocal expert lnfiu-
ences the students of the conservatory.
Every breeder makes 1t his business to
constantly be on the lookout for old COCK
birds of repute as songsters. These are
