tions from the graduates, which were very
ably rendered, and paper by Commission

wit, humor, and good logic. The Laings-
burg choir rendered excellent music for the
occasion. Rev. g. s. Taylor, of Perry,

beautiful floral offerings. The Epworth

Manila, May 2e.JThe cruiser Olympia,
with Admiral Dewey on board. left here
on her homeward journey to the United
States at o'clock this afternoon. A.
she steamed away the Oregon, Baltimore
and Concord fred an admiral's salute. At
the first shot the band on the fagship's
afterdeok played lively air and her
white-cad sailors crowded the decks and
gave tremendous cheer.
AS the Olympia passed the Oregon tho
Grey Of that ship gave cheers for the
Olympia, which were responded to by tho
latter throwing their caps so high that
dozens OF them were left bobbing in the
wake OF the cruiser. Then followed the
noisiest hour known in this harbor since
the battle which linked its name with that
OF Dewey. The din of guns and brass
bands echoed throughout the smoke,
fleet OF steam launches shrieked their
whistles, musicians of the Baltimore
played Home, Sweet Home her flag
slgnalled Good bye and those of the
oregon said Pleasant voyage"
The merchant vessels in these waters
dpper their flags, the ladies on the
decks Of the vessels Of the fleet waved
handkerchiets and the great black BRUSH
cruiser Powerful, which lay the furthest
out, saluted the Olympia. The latter's
band played God Save the Queen" and
TO this the crew Of the Powerful responded
with hearty cheers for the Olympia.
The last music heard from Admiral
Dewey's ship was "Auld Lang Syne,"
while the whistles sounded from the forts
at Cavite and the Monterey on guard off
Paranaque too far to be audible, pulled
white clouds Of smoke.
The Olympia was disappearing past Cor
regdor island when n battery before the
walled city spoke Manila's last word OF
farewell.
Admiral Dewey sat on the deck OF the
Olympia and received the adieus OF his
friends during most of the day. The
launch of Major General Otis was the
first TO arrive alongside the cruiser at Z
o'clock this morning and afterward the
admiral landed and called on the major
general and the United States Philippine
commissioners. Admiral Dewey is en-
thusastic over his vme-going, but when
mention was made OF the welcome TO be
extended him, he said he appreciated the
friendship Of his countrymen, but hoped
they would not be too demonstrative. He
intends to go directly to his home at
Montpelier, VI, and live there. On II
being said that the people wanted him
to 90 home by way of San Francisco and
across the continent, the admiral replied

HARMLESS BYPLAr.
Insistencc of Gomez Concerning I
Old Cuban Guns

Insistencc of Gomez Concerning the
Old Cuban Guns.
New York, May 20.-A Tribune special
from Washington says; General Brooke's
entire willingness to have the arms OF the
disbanded Cuban soldiers stored in arm
cries in the different municipalities SUR
prises no one at all familiar with the
situation In Cuba, for the disposal OF these
harmless relics is detail in the disband-
mont project of little or no consequence.
Too much importance has been attached by
alarmists, both here and in Cuba, to the
possession by the insurgent army of a
few thousand practically useless weapons
and tho insurgents themselves have been
encouraged to hold out against surrender
ing their motley collection of rifles simply
through the carefully fostered suspicion
that the United States was eager to get
hold of the guns and would eventually
pay some inflated price for them.
A years misuse has made most of the
rifles still In the hands OF the Cuban SOL
ders practically worthless for military
purposes as the supply of ammunition
which their owners formerly drew Is vlr-
tually exhausted. A military museum
seems certainly the most appropriate
place for these sacred relies"
The department commander In Cuba
who has had the widest experiences with
Cuban pecuiarites and shown the acutest
comprehension of Cuban character long
ago told the Cuban soldiers in his prov
ince that their arms were OF no value to
the military government and that they
could sell them to American curiosity
hunters or take them home to protect
themselves against bandits. All the gov

Work to begin at Once.
Havana, May 20.-'The order for the pay
ment OF the Cuban troops and the delivery
Of their arms to the mayors of the vari-
Gus municipalities under the supervision
OF the civil governors, was signed by Gov
ernor General Brooke today, but as yet
1t has not been published and could be
suppressed were reasons for such a course
to arise during the next forty-eight hours.
Tho impression here is that the news re-
ports from Washington have been at vari-
auco with the official understand, both
here and there. The first payment OF the
troops has been set for May 81, at the foot
Of the Prado in Havana, and the second
for May 30, at Santiago.
The payments will be continued at
other places in the provinces day by day
thereafter. The provincial governors will
meet with Governor General Brooke in
Havana on June ! to discuss the affairs
Of the island. Major General Leonard
Wood, military governor of the Depart
ment OF Santiago, and Brigadier General
Louis IL. Carpenter. commanding the De-
partment of Puerto Principe. were d.
rected by wire today to be here on that
date and the governors of the nearer de-
partments Will receive orders later.
Senior Domingo Mendez Capote secretary
OF government in General Brooke's advls-
ory council will present to the governor
general on Tuesday next an estimate of all
the revenues OF the municipalities In the
Island, showing revenues to be $500, 900
per quarter less than the requirements.
This estimate will be accompanied by a
request that the annual shortage of SO, 400

measure is intended TO offset local com

Mkcr Orders Brooke to Begin Distributing
Money to Cubans.
THE ARMS ARE VALUABLE AS CURIOS ONLY
They VIII he Deposited In tho Ar
mories of the Different municipal
tiles, as Agreed Upon.

Washington, May ao.-It Is believed that
whatever difficulty has existed as to the
disposition OF the weapons held by the
Cuban soldiers has been removed by the
actinn taken by Secretary Alger today. He
has instructed General Brooke to begin
at once the payment OF the $4,000 600 act
aside for the payment OF the Cuban SOL
ders, being entirely satisfied with the
provision made by General Brooke for the
safekeeping Of the arms that must be sur
rendered by the Cubans In consideration OF
receiving a share OF the money. There
has been less correspondence on this sub
Jet of late between Secretary Alger and
General Brooke than has been generally
supposed. Last Wednesday the latter
cabled the war department that he pro-
posed to begin the payment of the money
to the Cubans, the arms to 60 into the
custody OF the mayors. Secretary Alger
did not reply to this, as 1t concerned a
matter In which the president himself had
given instructions. Today General Brooke
was again heard from, this time saying he
saw in the press reports that the secretary
of war did not approve OF the plan he
had formed. He explained that all OF the
arms surrendered we're to be deposited In
the arsenal at Havana and the arsenal at
Santiag This changed the plans com
pletely, for the arsenals being In the pos
session Of the United States, the require
