WORK OF CHINESE PIRATES.
Consul Wildman Says They Are Commits
ting Wholesale Depredations on the
West River and Cannot BE stopped.

-"@N@ @e---AANN
Washington, Aug. s.-Consul General
,yildman has reported to the state de-
,artment from Hong Kong on the
growing trade of the West river in
China, which taps one of the most
fertile sections of the empire, and, in
this connection, he appends a memo
randum giving an interesting account
Of the depredations of Chinese pirates
along this river. 1t is impossible, he
says, for the Chinese officials to put
down this piracy as well as the dishon-
est fiscal system along the river and
the brigandage OF some of the chief
towns. The torpedo boats sent to sup
press the depredations are said to be
engaged in turning an honest penny
by towing, to the neglect of
their proper work, which receives
no attention." The opinion is
expressed that II piracy is to
be suppressed it will probably have to
be done by Bviti y, gunboats. The
modus operandi of the river pirates is
almost invariably the same. They go
on board the vessel they have selected
for robbery as ordinary passengers,
and on reaching given spot where
confederates are in waiting in boats,
they overpower the passengers and
crew, secure their plumber and make
good their escape. Under this system
1t has been found impossible for any
gunboat, either Chinese or foreign, to
put stop to the practice and II Is
thought the only effectual means will
be by tracking the pirates to their lairs
and dealing with them there.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. s.-The Kan

DEWEY WRITES A LETTER.
The Admiral Says Il Is Impossible now to
Fix the Date of His Arrival IN
New York.

Washington, Aug. s-Chairman
Moses, of the committee Of 100 having
In charge the reception to Admiral
Dewey on his arrival In Washington,
which includes the presentation of the
sword voted him by congress, has re-
ceived from the admiral the following
letter, approving the plans under con-
sideration for the affair:
Flagship Olympia, Trieste. July 81 have
the honor to acknowledge the receipt OF your
letter OF the sth inst, informing me OF the
arrangements proposed for my reception In
Washington, also Of a telegram Of similar i'm
port sent by the secretary Of the navy. | am
deeply sensible OF the high honor your COM
mittee proposes to confer upon me and have
teegraphed to the secretary that the ar
rangements approved by the president and
by him are entirely agreeable TO me. I
note with pleasure that It is proposed TO
make the exercises as simple as possible.
1t is impossible at this time TO dix
the data Of my arrival In Washington, but will
not tae1to awe you the information on that
poih, as soon as possible. Thanking the CON-
mittee for the great honor ithas paid me, and
you personally for your courteous letter, am,
very truly yours, GEORGE DEWEY
An interesting historical fact, dating
back TO 1878, has come TO light in which
Admiral Dewey was the central figure.
Dewey, then commander, was in COM
mand OF the United States steamship
Narragansett on the Asiatic station,
having taken charge OF The vessel on
March 1, 1873. The vessel was on sur
veying duty when the Virginius trou-
BILE was precipitated and a war
with Spain seemed imminent. Com
mander Dewey wrote to the navy
department requesting that In case
war was declared he should be
assigned to the duty of capturing Ma
nila. The peaceful settlement of the
controversy with Spain avoided the
necessity for hostile demonstration,
but the interesting fact is that the
doughty officer had his eye on Manila
over a quarter of a century ago. A
search will be made for the letter In
the files Of the navy department., and,
II found, 1t is expected an effort will
be made by the citizens committee to
have it reproduced as souvenir OF the
| raoanti0n
