DEWEY'S VIEWS DECIDED.
He Believes I'm Strong Measures to-
Crush the FiIipinOs


MANILA, March 16 (via Hong Kong,
March 1g.-Admiral Dewey was inter-
viewed today on the flagship Olympia
The admiral expresses satisfaction over
the arrival of Gen. Iawton, and said:
L am in favor of going ahead right
now and taking everything in sight We
have forces enough to end the war if we
go right i'll and fight.
Il will not take any more Philippine
ports until the army is ready to hold
them. 1t only means tying up more ships
that are needed for patrol duty. The
Boston and the Petrel are tied up at uoiIo
and Cebu.
my policy would be to have the fleet
cruise about the islands, cutting off the
insurgents. I would send small gunboats
up the navigable rivers and divide the
enemys forces.
my instructions to the captains Of
ships are broad. They have full author
ity to act according to their own judg-
ment as circumstances arise. They must
keep on the move, gather up informa-
ton, prevent tbs landing of arms, and
make communication between the islands
impossible.
1.-TWO small gunboats armed with artil-
lery have already been placed on the
Pasllg river, where they can do effective
work
my opinion is that the hostilities are
carried on almost exclusively by the
Tagalos. We ought to be able to crush
their opposition quickly
II don't anticipate any difficulty in oc-
cupying the southern islands of the
archipelago
LAS for the sultans of Mindanao and
Sulu, they have no independent status.
1t Is impossible to say now whether the
navy or the army will deal with them.
If had my way the navy would do so.
after the present hostilities end we
ought not to need a great naval force
in the Philippines. Spain had to maintain
an expensive squadron here because she
always had screws on the people. 1t was
continued military occupation, but that
is not our style Of government.

UP IN POLITICAL TRICKS.

WOman's Club Election Proves an
Unusually Exciting Contest.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 19.-One of
the warmest political contests that has
ever occurred in this city took place yes
terday. The electors belong to no politi-
cal party. They were neither Democratic,
Republican nor Peoples party advocates.
Instead they were all women, and that is
what made 1t interesting. All the
women's clubs In the city, comprising the
flower Of Milwaukee womanhood met in
convention to elect chairman of the
governing body which shall control the
meeting of the General Federated Clubs
Of the United States to be held here in
1900. The candidates were Mrs. James
Sidney Peck and Mrs. H. r. Vedder, and
the former won by one vote.
For several days the liveliest kind of
electioneering has been going on among
the adherents of these two women. The
excitement reached a white heat today
and all the ordinary political methods of
securing votes were used, except the brass
band and whisky. Carriages by the dozens
were In attendance and scurried every
where throughout the city to bring in
laggard voters. Both parties met in the
convention hall with their candidates
badges pinned among. the roses which
decorated their tailor-made gowns. The
only man present was Secretary Sullivan,
of the Citizens Business league.

general hospital as the result of an op-
Grafton on a wound received in the fall

UGLY MEXICAN MOB.
Determined to Resist the Removal
of Smallpox Patients

LAREDO, Tex, March 19.-The work Of
removing smallpox patients to the pest
house, under the direction of State Health
Officer Blunt, was begun this morning.

manner that the police were called. Mar
shal Bartholomew and Assistant Marshal
Idar attempted to arrest the leaders of
the MeXicans. Idar was knocked down
and severely beaten One of the rioters
was wounded Twenty shots were fired,
dozen arrests made, and the mob dis
persed.

work, but were soon met by another mob

them armed. The health officers desisted
and communicated with Gov. Sayres. The
war department telegraphed authority to
use the troops at Fort Mcintosh. The
Mexicans are much excited, and bloody
fight is expected when the regular troops

Dance in an UnsavOry Section of the
Order-MOre Trouble Late Sum
day Evening Reported With Fa-
talities on Both Sides - Police
Unpopular With the People.

HAVANA, March ia serious conflict
last night resulted In much shooting and
clubbing. From thirty to fifty people
were wounded, some seriously Among
the injured is Police Captain Estampes,
formerly a colonel in the Cuban army.
Ever since the interference about a
week ago with the demonstration in
honor of Gen. Maxine Gomez the police
have been unpopular with the populace,
who jeer at them and declare them in
efficient. Certain newspapers let no op-
portunity escape to criticise the force,
denouncing the arrests as unfair and
charging the police with trampling on
the rights of free people. The police
are virtually in. the position Of men who
have to make the people fear them in
order to secure obedience, as they have
no record to fall back on for example.
Last nights trouble occurred at a pub
lie mulatto ball in San Jose street, an
unsavory quarter Of Havana. Many Gu
ban officers, colonels and captains among
them, attended the affair. A policeman
on duty in that street. following orders
to prevent a crowd collecting in front of
ress, asked a group of men to go in or
disperse. His request was unheeded,
and after repeating it he was attacked by
the group, whereupon many men issued
from the building, set upon him, took
away his club and revolver and handled
him roughly.
REVOLVER FIRE RETURNED. =.
The policeman Immediately notified
headquarters, which ordered twenty re-
serves to the scene of trouble. The crowd
had prepared for their arrival. 1t is said
they opened with a revolver fire on the
police, which the latter returned, the
shooting being kept up until the ammu-
milton was exhausted.
The opponents of the police acted with
determination in the affray. Many who
were in the building mounted to the roof,
which is comparatively low, and fired
upon the policemen from that point They
were apparently well armed. and this
which they fought, seems to confirm the
belief that the attacking party was most
ly made up of Cuban officers, as ordinary
civilians would have fed from the re-
volvers of the police. Many women were
wounded.
A report is in circulation this evening
that two Of the injured civilians have
succumbed to their wounds, but this is
not confirmed. Among those seriously

VICTORIA, B. c., March 19.-Charley,

wrath of the Goods OF Vengeance" ac-
cording to Indian tradition, because he is
father Of triplets. He is chief of Uchuck-
leset and an expert sealer, and his death,
he declares, Is near at hand.
Capt. Macauly, Of the schooner Pene-
lope called at Uchuckleset to secure an
Indian crew for sealing off California.
Charley was favorite, inasmuch as he
was an expert with either the spear or
gun. 1t was round, however, that since
he became a father of triplets he has
been in great trouble. No money will in
duce him to go to sea, and nothing can
be brought to bear that will lure him
away from his reservation.
He is awaiting his end. Meanwhile the
three children in some mysterious man
ner have been made away with by the

which will not be completed until about
Sept /, is accepted as another indication
that he has no intention Of resigning
