stories of Commodore Dewey.

Commodore Dewey had many friends in
this city, says the New York correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Press, and 1t is for
that reason that 50 many persons know of
him as a man of singularly gentle DISPOSE
ton, modest manner, unassuming, unde-
monstrative. not at all the kind of man
which the popular ideal of a great fighter
suggests, but after all exactly the kind
of man that makes the greatest of fight
ers.
Ambassador Hay in a few words In the
dispatches this morning reported ex-
presses the thought of many who have
met Commodore Dewey that il is almost
uncomfortable to associate with the daring,
stately and maneuYering, as well as cy-
clonic fighting, which characterized the
battle of Sunday, the gentle, quiet man
which Commodore Dewey is.
A subordinate in one of the financial in
stitutions of this city said this morning
that all of those who had served with
Dewey, as Admiral Sampson, Admiral
Brown, Capt. Chadwick and others who
have become conspicuous have done, knew
that no better selection could have been
made for the command of that daring and
almost desperate attack than that of
Dewey.
Il was with Commodore Dewey when
he was the executive officer of the Colora-
do said this man, and I remember one
incident which shows the manner Of man
he is. We had fine crew, some of them
as powerful men as 1 ever saw. Four or
hve of them went ashore one day and
came back fighting drunk
Three of them were men who would
singly have been more than a match in
strength for John l.. Sullivan. The order
qyiN tr g
was found impossible to carry out the or
der, for the men We're dangerous. Dewey
was notified of the situation. He was writ
ing letter in his room at the time
He went to the place where these giants
were and he told them to come out and
submit to the irons. They did not stir Then
Dewey said quietly TO an orderly: Bring
me my reVolvers, and when he had his
pistols he again called upon the men to
come ont and they did not move Then he
SAID: Il am going 10 count three, If you
are not out here with your hands held up
on the third count you won't come out OF
that place alive"
He counted one, then he cooked the re-
volvers, and he counted two We all ex-
pected TO hear the report for we knew
that Dewey meant what he said. The mer
knew IL, too. They stepped out just in time
TO save their lives and held up their hands
and they had been partially sobered by
| their fright and the moral effect of Dew.
ey's glance.
"One of them said afterward that wher
| he saw Dewey's eyes he knew that he
would either be a dead jackey In a moment
or he would have to yield, and when the
irons were put upon him he was as sober
as he ever was in his life. Dewey went
| back to his room and finished the letter he
| was writing"

Sulphur, which is necessary in the man
ufacture of powder. comes to this eoun-
try almost exclusively from Sicily The
stock on hand is now comparatively low.
Spain has declared sulphur an article con-
traband of war. Besides being used in
the making of powder. sulphur in large
quantities is used in making paper, in Vul-
canizins rubber and in the manufacture
of commercial fertilizers. With these
three enormous industries and various
smaller ones drawing upon the supply now
In the country, it will not be a great while
before the store is exhausted, unless ship
masters take chances of bringing it in in
defiance of the Spaniards. The difficulty
of getting ships through Gibraltar against
the will of the Spaniards, however, will
be recognized at a glance.

The Jews. Of all people in the world,
have just reasons for hating Spain. That
the American Jews have not forgotten
the Spanish prosecutions of their race is
made evident at every meeting of Jews
where the war question is discussed. AT
a meeting IN Cleveland the other day it
was proposed that the Jews of the United
States should purchase a first class war
snip and present il to the navy, and the
proposition was adopted by a practically
unanimous vote. II must be a source of
great qualification to the Jews. by the
way, to note that the people which infiict-
ed such indescribable persecution upon
them is now upon the point of death from
seniity. while they are still vigorous and
hopeful, having a safe refuge under at
least two flags the greatest in the world,
which stand for liberty and justice.

RouoH RIDERS. raRnwKLL

| The organization the First United
States Volunteer Cavalry, so familiar >
known as "Roosevelt's Rough Riders,
is no longer in the military service OF
The United States, having been mus
tered out at Montauk Point last week.
This regiment OF fighters sprang into
existence under peculiar and romantic
surroundings, and It's history is as
aud years it will continue TO form tho
topic OF the weird stories told of sol
dier life. Its material was composed
Of lawyers, brokers. athletes, college
graduates, cowboys, Indians, border
characters and soma OF millionaires
thrown together under such peculiar
and exciting circumstances that it
could not fail to gather around II that
charm of romance which has colored
the tales OF frontier life, and renders
every story told Of them aud their
career OF absorbing interest to the
whole country. Fate had thrown them
together under she most romantic cir.
cumstances, and natural sffinities had
united and welded them together ns .
band OF brothers. At Las QussiDn
they met the enemy for the FIRST time
and smelt gunpowGer H. actual battle,
aud pro ed their courage on the bloody
field where honor and glory are won
and blood is spilled and life for life is
taken. On the hills around Santiago
they fought side by side in the rugged
ascent OF SaI Juan, winning from their
gallan- commander his plaudits and
the pir udit- o. their countrymen. They
are home now, some OF them. while
there ARE others OF them who will come
home no NOR forever.
The separation Of the regiment at
Montauk is said to have been most
affecting, their homes being so widely
scattered that meeting again was
one OF the things hardly TO be looked
for, and many bronzed cheek showed
the parting grief as each gresped a
comrades hand and thought
"Of scenes in Southern wales OF wine,
And scenes In Northern hills OF pine,
As scenes they might not meet again;
And one Of Avon thopgft and one
Thought OF an isle beneath the Iun,
And one of Rowley, oae Of the Rhine,
And one turned sadly to the Spree"

lie knows that his record in Washing
ton while lobbying to defeat free

would be shown up. and that he could
not meet and refute the charge.
The Capital says there is nothing for
the contestants TO debate, This is a
complete backing down from the
whole canvass Nothing TO debate
IL would have been shown that
Flynn's four years in congress WAS
spent in keeping the free homes inca
sure Just where he wanted 1t to stay
to be used by him at every returning
election as a means OF retaing his seat
in congress. IL would have been
shown that Mr.. Callahan would have
secured the passage OF the bill II
Flynn had stayed away from Wash
ington. 1t would have been shown
that Flynn's whole course In congress
was 20 build up himself at the sacrifice
Of the people OF the territory. 1t would
have been shown that Flynn defeated
any movement looking to free homes,
and that by means of his opposition to
the Callahan bill he cost the people OF
the territory $4,000, 900 from which
they could have been relieved had he
kept his hands off the Callahan free
homes bill.
II ould have been shown that he
ndorsed the present administration in
the tax raise by which the people are
being pauperized to feed the creed OF
the warrant shark.
II would have been shown that he
indorses the robbery now going on
under the administration OF the school
moneys OF the territory.
These are some OF the questions Mr.
Flynn would have been asked to ex
plain to the people, and which hi
knew he could not do. Tie dare no
g on the stump in joint debate anc
defend his record. Flynn knows thii
and his friends know il. He is afraiC
OF his own record and what is more
his own friends know 1t is full o
holes.
These are fscts for the sensible, re
1ecting taxpaying people of the terri
tory TO consider when thinking OF thu
reasons Flynn offers for not meeting
Judge Keaton. An honest, SINGER,
man never ruus from his own shadow
or his own record.
