TO KEEP DEWEY
IN SERVICE
Congress Will Be Asked to Keep the
Admiral on the Active List Ten
Years Longer.

New York, Dec. ga Herald special
from Washington says:
Unless congress should pass law
authorizing him to remain on the ac-
tive list, Rear.Admiral Dewey will be
placed on the retired list on December
26, 1899. Only one other retirement
will occur next year, that of H. L. How
ison, commandant of the Boston navy
yard. There is strong sentiment in
naval circles in favor of the passage of a
law which will permit the retention OF
Admiral Dewey on the active list for ten
years, as was done in the case of the he
roes of the civil war.
Reports from Manila that Admiral
Dewey desires to return home are not
believed at the navy department, advices
from him indicating that he desires to
stay in the Philippines. 1t is not ex-
pected here that he will be detached
from command of the Asiatic SQUADRON
until just in time to reach the United
States on the very eve of his retirement
from active service.

How Tacoma Sailors Celebrated.

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 25.-Christmas
was celebrated in this city by special
services in the churches, many of them
being beautifully decorated.
The other side of the Christmas cele-
bration was that of the sailors from
some of the ships in port, particularly
some from the steamship Garonne, who
got hilariously drunk and tried to clean
out, not only the officers of the ship, but
the entire police force. A couple of the
sailors had to be dubbed into submits
sion, sustained injuries that neces-
STATED the services of a physician.
About 20 drunk men, mostly sailors,
were arrested during the day,

HONOR FOR
A CHURCHMAN
Archbishop Ireland Will Represent the
United States at the Cars Peace
Conference.

New YORK, Dec. ga Journal spe-
cial from Washington says:
Archbishop Ireland will represent the
United States at the czar's peace con-
gress. The president has had the SUBJ
ject under adyisement for several weeks,
and according to the best authority it
may be said the decision las recently
been cached, the archbishop having
agreed to accept this appointment.
Ever since his induction into Office the
president has been anxious to testify his
appreciation of Ireland's Republication,
which took the form of strong inter-
views and speeches during the campaign
of 1896, and of his mental gifts and
learning. The czar's call for an inter-
national peace congress at which his
proposal for universal disarmament is to
be discussed, has presented an excep-
tional opportu nifty to honor Ireland in
an lilustrious manner.
As the representative of the United
States in such an assemblage his posi-
tion would comport with the dignity of
his ecclesiastical Office, while not inter-
fering with it's duties, owing to the tenn
porary character of the political appoint
ment.
Aside from the pleasant effect such

Ushered in By the Cracking of
RevOlvers and Rattling VOlleys
From Mausers.

CHICAGO, Dec. ga special to the
Tribune from Havana says:
Christmas day was ushered into Ha-
vana by the cracking of revolvers and
rafting volleys from Mausser rifles in an
affray which occurred near the center of
the city between the Spanish troops
garrisoning the city and the Cuban resi-
dents. One Cuban was fatally wounded,
two others were badly injured and a
Spanish soldier YVES stabbed. A Cuban
negro who received three wounds made
by Mauser bullets and bad cut across
the forehead, is reported to be dying.
The affair was brought on by the Gu
bans, who fred from a housetop on
company of soldiers asleep in the Hotel
Roma. The soldiers sprang to their feet
at once and returned the fire. A COM
pany of infantry scaled a low wall Oh
one side of the building and hunted
over the roof tops for the individuals
who had begun the firing. The found a
negro badly wounded and carried him
down. Other injured men were carried
away by their friends.
The volleying of the Mausers caused
alarm among the Americans, many fear
ing the fighting would become general
throughout the city. An affray on Christ
mas night between the Cubans and
troops has been prophesied by those who
have watched events of the last few
days.
The Americans disregarded the warn
ings they had received to stay in their
homes during the evening. at midnight
many were on the street. The Cuban
element of the city's population was de-
monstrative all evening. Fearing trouble
the guard of Spanish troops about the
city was doubled. Toward midnight the
streets were alive with people in cabs
and on foot, singing and shouting. It
grew quieter after midnight, when sud-
denly the cracking of revolvers was
heard in the direction of the Hotel Roma
There was moments pause. Then came

the hotel.
At the corner of Tentiente Rev and
Montserrat street is a cluster OF one
story buildings. On the fiat roofs in the
white moonlight, party OF Cubans had
been celebrating the advent of Christ
mas.
Under the dark corridors of the Hotel
Roma across the street a company of
Spanish regulars lay stretched out asleep.
Suddenly someone leaned over the par
apet of the house on which the Cubans
were celebrating and fred revolver
into the ranks of the sleeping troopers
below.
The soldiers sprang to their feet and
the Mausers banged away as fast as they
could pull the triggers. Bullets riddled |

IN A FERMENT.
THE CORDETT- SHARKEY MEETING.
II VIII Not he Intercepted by the
Police Both Pugflists In Good

augmented hourly by rS.y arrivals, is in
a ferment over the coming meeting be-
tween James ]. Corbett and Thomas

fight. which is to take place tomorrow

will certainly go on without any inter-
| ruption by the police authorities.
Both pugilsts are in the best possible
shape, and while each seems confident
of victory, Corbett is still the favorite
among the majority of sporting men.
Both INDUCED in light work to-day, just
taking enough exercise to keep their
muscles and wind in good order and
each will rest from this evening until he
is called to enter the ring, about 10 O'Clock
tomorrow night.
Tom O'Rourke. who is Sharkey's hacker
manager, and trainer, says that Tom Will
surprise those who have doubts as to his
ability.
SHARKEY HAS IMPROVED.
"Sharkey has improved wonderfully"
said O'Rourke to-day, "and is in fine fet-
tie He has trained well and carefully,
doing everything that was asked Of him
without a murmur"
Corbett only boxed n couple OF rounds
this afternoon, to timber up. His trainer,
Charley White is more than pleased with
his man. The latter said this evening:
Jim has gone through his course Of train
ing splendidly, and to-day he is I'm better
shape than when he met F1tzsimmons at
Carson City There he lost the fight when
ne had It won, but tomorrow night will
tell a different story. COr5ett is just as
fast as ever he was. His leg-work could
not be better, and during his preparation
for this bout he has learned to fight 4
little slower than heretofore, and this is
an advantage, as it will enable him to
hit harder. / am confident that he will
win, and the fight should not last more
than fifteen rounds"
