VIM. Savidge, who severed his con-
nection with the Hawaiian Gazette
Company a short time ago to enter
into business for himself. and Miss
Emily Johnson, one of honolulu
Young ladies, were married in the
study at Kawaiahao church last even
ing by the Rev. H. H. Parker. The
newly married couple will so to Homo
uliul ranch today to spend their
honeymoon. Mr.. Savidge was one Of
the most popular employees of the
Gazette Company.
As a remembrance of past times Mr.,
Savidge sent to this office last night a
feast for the gods. He couldn't help
calling on the boys and as he went
down the stairs he was treated to a
perfect fussiIade of old shoes that have
collected in the office for many months
past. William telephoned when he
reached the house and gave the boys
the satisfaction of the knowledge that
several of the shoes hit the mark.
Mr. Savidge is at present with the
Hawaiian Carriage Company as book
keeper and besides owns considerable
town property. He is, from all indi-
cations, one of the coming young men
of the community and is deservedIy
popular with all who know him.

According to dispatches from Mad
rid the United States Asiatic squadron
under Commodore Dewey, won a de-
cisive naval victory in the Philip
pines. At five O'Clock Sunday morn
ing, May 1st, the American force ap
peared off Manila bay, having forced
the batteries under cover of darkness,
and at once attacked the Spanish
squadron which was evidently lying
under the protection of the guns of
the Spanish forts at Cavite and at the
entrance to Manila Bay. The Spanish
reports of the battle which followed
show that the Spanish naval force
was practically destroyed, while no
serious damage to an American ship
has as yet been reported even by way
of Madrid. That is to say, no Ameri-
can ship was sunk, or burned, or seri
ously disabled. There seem to have
been two engagements, at the end Of
the first Commodore Dewey having
landed his wounded. In the second
he continued the destruction of
Spanish Wal ohiPo WAiOh OAc1CIOA lAOo
his first attack. At the end of the
fighting the American squadron is re-
ported to have anchored on the west
side of Manila Bay. This, if true,
means that Commodore Dewey is al
ready master of the situation That
the Spanish sea power in the Phillip
pines is practically annihilated by
this battle is proved by the fact that
the Spanish Reina Maria Christina,
Castillo and Don Juan de Austria were
completely destroyed while other
cruisers or gunboats were sunk to
keep to keep them from falling into
Commodore Dewey's hands. The
ships named were the strongest of the
Spanish force.

ALL HONOR TO COMMODORE
DEWEY.

Commodore Dewey's attack upon
the Spanish fleet and the forts at Ma
Mia was one of the most brilliant
things in the history of naval warfare,
and the characteristics of the COM
mander were plainly shown in his
manner of conquering his antagonist.
His fleet was obliged to leave Hong
Kong and he was then ordered to de-
stroy the Spanish squadron in the
vicinity of the Philippine islands. He
had no alternative but to destroy this
feet for he had no base of supplies,
and in case of defeat he had no place

JOHN l.. BACON FOR STA TIE
Urea SURER.

At the earnest solicitation of many
friends, JohnL. Bacon of White River
Junction has allowed his name to be
used as candidate for state treasurer.
The announcement of his candidacy
has been received with favor by a
number of state papers, all speaking
highly Of his qualifications for the Of
flee and giving him strong assurances
of support, especially from the east
side Of the state.
The present incumbent, Henry F.
Field, of Rutland, is q candidate for
denomination and other candidates
mentioned are w. FL. Brackett of Brat
tleboro and D. HI. Lewis of Vergennes.
The office has been on the west side
of the state for the past eight years
and the feeling on the east side is that
there should be a change. Other
state offices are transferred from one
side of the state to the other and there
is no reason why the treasurership
should not follow example. The east
side thinks it time it had this Office,
change should be made and there is
no better man for the place than Mr..
Bacon. Orange county, of which he
is native, gladly welcomes him as
candidate. In Caledonia, Windham,
Windsor and other eastern counties
his candidacy is well received. The
sentiment in his favor grows as his
qualifications for the office become
better known. Already he is assured
of support that is highly gratifying.
The White River Junction Landmarks
says: Ellis fellow citizens of this
place in giving him their heartiest
support feel that if he was as we'll
known elsewhere as he is at home,
his nomination would be assured be-
fore the convention meets." That is
the feeling of his many acquaintances
outside his own town, who know him
as pleasant gentleman, with business
experiences which we'll qualify him
for the Office of state treasurer.
Chelsea, this county, is the birth
place of John L. Bacon, where he was
born June Is, 1862. He received his
education in the common schools of
that town and graduated from the st.
Academy in the class of
1881. From 1888 to 1856 he was cashier
of the National Bank Of Chelsea. In
1885 he moved to Hartford, where he
is now treasurer of that town and
cashier of the National Bank of White
RiUar IunntJnn n ho
treasurer of Orange county and in
1892 represented Hartford in the gen
eral assembly and was appointed a
member Of the committee on banks.
These duties have all been faithfully
and efficiently performed and the
state will make no mistake in electing
him it's urer.-Bradford Opinion.

to retire, so that if his vessels had
been badly damaged and the enemy
had escaped with less damage they
could have followed him up and have
either destroyed his fleet, or COM
PEELED him to surrender. The Spanish
fleet, according to dispatches, remain
ed in the harbor under the protection
of the forts, and the American COM
mander found that to attack the fleet
he must go into the harbor and face
not only the fleet but the land batter
les which were supposed to be strong.
The entrance to the harbor was bad
one and was filed with sub marine
mines, besides being commanded by
the heavy guns of the forts. Com
monty it would be expected that
heavily armored battleships would be
necessary to run the gauntlet of these
forts, but the American fleet was
composed of unarmored cruisers, not
an armored vessel being in the fleet,
and Commodore Dewey was deter
mined to do the best he could with
what he had at his disposal, so in the
dead of night he managed to work his
fleet through the entrance to the har-
Dor and in the morning commenced
his attack upon the Spaniards. A less
fearless commander would have hesi-
tated long before trying to take his
fleet into the harbor where he would
have to engage both the enemy's fleet
and the land batteries, but not so with
this man, he found his foe and as they
would not go to him he went to them.
All honor to Commodore Dewey.

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

1t will be serious question to settle
when the war is over as to what shall
be done with the Philippine Islands.
These islands are 1000 miles from San
Franciso, our nearest seaport, and al
though it might be well for this gov
ernment to retain coaling port there
we certainly do not want to remain
in control of the islands. If we were
to do this it would cause dissension
among our own people and start
foreign policy which would, if follow
ed out, bring us in constant opposition
to the powers of Europe. The rea-
sons which might be brought up in
support of our controlling the Hawaii
an Islands do not apply IN this case.
If we are to say to the nations of Eu-
rope that they must not attempt to
encroach upon the territory in this
part of the world we ought not try to
gain much territory in other prrts, and
yet we have seized these islands as a
war measure, in war which could not
be honorably avoided, and it is no
more than right that the government
should realize some benefit from the
possession of them. There is some
talk of trading them with England for
some territory nearer home, but the
other European nations would be
likely to object to this, as it would
give England an advantage where
they would be gaining nothing, and
the powers are all watching each other
to see that no one power should gain
a point that the others do not share
in. 1t seems to us that it would be
we'll for this government to retain
coaling station at Manila and then to
dispose of the islands in the best pos
sible manner.

HA WAH TO BE ANNEXED.

The annexation of the Hawaiian Is
lands, as a necessary war measure, is
the next step to the Administration
war programme, and the next few
days will witness important develop
ments along that line. The President
strongly prefers to have the islands
come in by congressional action, even
though the urgent necessity for such
step, in his opinion, arises from war
conditions. Intense efforts of the ad
ministration are now being made to-
ward the accomplishment of that
of success. If, with Dewey in Manila
harbor, thousands of miles from an
American base of supplies, and with
the United States engaged in a foreign
war when all differences Of opinion
are made subservient to the supposed
plan of campaign, if in such circum-
stances annexation cannot be accom-
plished, it is useless to attempt it in
ordinary times of peace. This Mr..
Mckinley realizes, and has now pre-
alton. Prominent senators and
Representatives of both parties have
been called to the White House, and
the Administrators plan and pur-
pose laid before them. The House
Foreign Affairs Committee was this
morning called in session for the pur-
pose of considering the subject. The
Senate will not again attempt to ratify
the annexation treaty. It's opponents,
SO far as can be learned, remain firm,
but would perhaps resort less to dila-
tory tactics than if no war existed.
There is clearly an annexation major
ity in the Senate, and the settlement
of the question will really rest with the
House.

Commodore Dewey, who command
ed the Asiatic squadron which has
just annibilated the Spanish fleet at
the Philippine islands, is Vermonter.
He was born in Montpelier and. is a
brother of Edward and Charles Dewey.
He is graduate of the naval academy
and saw considerable service during
the civil war, acquitting himself in a
most honorable manner. Commodore
Dewey is spoken of in the highest
terms by his brother officers. For his
achievements at Manila he will doubt
less be made Rear Admiral.

The iury in the Mildred Brewster

The jury in the Mildred Brewster
case returned a verdict last Thursday
of not guilty of murder because of
being insane. The many things which
developed during the trial caused a
strong feeling in favor of the accused,
and a feeling against Jack Wheeler, of
whom is said that thejury expressed
a desire to come back for the purpose
of hanging him.
