WANTED TO TAKE MANILA
Twenty six-year-old Letter
Shows Dewey Then Had
Eye On Philippines.

Washington, Aug. 7-Chairman
Moses Of the committee of one hun
dred, having in charge the reception to
Admiral Dewey on his arrival in Wash
ington, which includes the presentation
of the sword voted him by congress,
has received from the admiral a letter
dated Trieste, July %, approving the
plans under consideration for the af-
fair. In this letter Admiral Dewey
says:
Il have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the 8th inst,
informing me Of the arrangement pro-
posed for my reception In Washington
also of telegram Of similar Import
ance sent by the secretary of the navy.
l am deeply sensible of the high honor
your committee proposes to confer up
on me- and have telegraphed to the
secretary that the arrangements ap-
proved by the president and by him
are entirely agreeable to me. 1 note
with pleasure that it is proposed to
make the exercises as simple as pos
siple. 1t is impossible at this time to
fix the date OF my arrival in Washing
ton, but l will not fail to give you the
information on that point as soon as
possible
An interesting historical fact dating
back to 1878 has come to light. Admiral
Dewey, then a commander, was in com
mand of the U. S. s. Narragansett on
the Asiatic station, having taken
charge of the vessel on March 1, 1873.
The vessel was on surveying duty when
the Virsinius trouble was precipitated
and war with Spain seemed imminent.
Commander Dewey wrote to the navy
department requesting that in case
war was declared, he be assigned to
the duty of capturing Manila.
The peaceful settlement of the con-
troversy with Spain avoided the neces-
sify for hostile demonstration, but the
fact Is that the officer had his eye on
Manila over quarter of a century ago.
A search will be made for the letter in
the tiles Of the navy department, and if
found it is expected ali effort will be
made by the citizens committee to have
1t reproduced as q souvenir of the re-
ception.

SHAMROCK MAY BE TowED
New York Yacht Club Had Given Lip
ton That Privilege.

New London, Ct, Aug. 1.-The New
York Yacht Club, learning through a
newspaper source that the Shamrock
was being lowed tonight, issued the
following statement to the Associated
Press:
I'm relation to statement that the
Shamrock had been reported in tow of
steamer in light order off Tuska, and
as such action is regarded as in VIOLA
ton of the deed of gift and the condi-
lions governing the match for the
Americas cup, the officers of the New
York Yacht Club desire to state that
some time since communication was
received from a representative of Sir
Thomas Upton, announcing the inten-
ton of the latter to take q southerly
course for the Shamrock, and asking
whether in view Of the possibility Of en-
countering Gains on the proposed route
if it would be deemed a violation Of
the match If the Shamrock awaited her
self of the presence of a steam yacht
to be towed during calm spells.
Sin view of the fact of the entire
good faith in which the request was
made, and that the towing would sub
ject the vessel to a greater strain than
the sailing, and could therefore be not
made pretext of evading the condi-
lions of the deed of gift, that the chal-
lenger should proceed on her own bot
tom to the port of contest, the officers
Of the club sent an answer to the effect
that the New York Yacht Club would
take no exception to the Shamrock be-
ing taken during calm intervals be-
tween breezes. Its action in consent
ing not to object to such a course
should not be regarded as a precedent,
and is applicable only TO this particu-
lar case"

hatred to most of the officers. He said
1t grieved him to think that, If there
We're an acquittal, it would not change
their minds.
But he was spared such unseemly
manifestations as those which so
shook Zola's nerves last year and ter
rifled his wife. There was no bowling
in front of the prison. There was no
crying of Death to the traitor" or
Death to the Jews" or anything like
that. The Paris journalists who had
come to report the trial seemed Gained
by the quietude Of this dead city.
1t was expected that the Dreyfusites
and anti-Dreyfusites would shun each
other and put up at different hotels;
but they have tacitly agreed to sink
their differences in each others COM
pany. They not only lodge at the same
hotels, but they take their meals at the
same tables and amicably pass to each
other the dishes. Rennes does not
want them to be theatrical, and so
they do not posture as ferooious pa
triots, but are glad to drop the char
acters assumed for the drama-loylng
public Of Paris.
No idea has Rennes that the eyes of
the world are upon her, although there
must be within her walls three hun
bred correspondents, representing
journalism all the world over. 1t never
before occurred to me what a far
reaching institution the press is, or,
at least, | never realized it so pecu-
liarIy. We were all up at o'clock this
morning, and after a hurried meal we
rushed to the concert room of the Ly-
Gee, where the trial takes place. The
Lycee is opposite the military prison.
and, with the parish church, forms a
block surrounded by four streets.
Military preparations were going
forward to prevent roughs coming
from Paris to act riotously Dreyfus
was to cross the street from the prison
to the court house, but nobody was to
see him except the military. which
barred the street to the right and left
Of the Lycee door. An officer whisp-
cred to me when | was in the Lycee to
go to the window which he indicated,
and get glimpse of Dreyfus.
The prisoner was to cross the street
at 10 minutes past 6, and to walt in
private room for the summons to APP
pear before his judges. Precisely at
the time named the door Of the mill
tary prison opened and Dreyfus,
guarded by a captain of gendarmerie,
appeared. He wore brand new uni
form. The stiff Innings not having yet
formed into the shape Of the figure. the
whole suit seemed an awkward fit. The
three rows Of gold braid that were
torn from his cuffs on the day of his
degradation were gllnting in the sun.
The man was as stin AZ his uniform.

Letters Urging Him to Come to santo
Domingo.

Havana, Aug 7.-Gen Juan Isidro Jim
inez who was interviewed today, said he
was in daily receipt OF about rs cable
grams from Santo Domingo, where all
was going well. To the interviewer he
exhibited a letter. which. he said, was
from a person of influence, advising him
not to risk participancy in an expedition,
as the result was assured and was only a
matter of time. According to the writer,
If anything happened TO Jimine2, the peo-
pie of Santo Domingo would regard il as
great loss, as their ideal and hopes re-
garding good government were bound
upon him.
Moreover, the present system needed
man in some respect like 'Lilysse' as
Heureux was called, whereas the present
executive. Wenceslao Figuereo, though
trying to work on the lines followed by
Heureux, was mean, unpopular and inca
pable of carrying on administration with
the necessary viger.
Gen. Jiminez said he could not leave
Havana at present as he must have
headquarters from which to send orders,
and after which to receive news, but when
all was assured he would go. He re-
marked that he counted on majority Of
four-ffths, and talked in very confident
strain, expressing himself as hopeful of
complete success. He asserted that he
was receiving offers of assistance from
many Cubans.

Largest Fleet Ever Known Assemblies

Largest Fleet Ever Known Assemblies
at New London.
New London, Conn, Aug. THE
largest fleet of the New York Yacht
club that has ever rendezvoused in New
London harbor, lies off the Peouot
mouse, tonight. One hundred and three
captains responded to the call of their
names, which were called on board the
flagship Corsa!r at o'clock this after
noon.
The yachts are strung in line eight
or ten deep from the New London light
nearly to Fort Griswold, presenting the
most magnificent marine picture ever
seen in this harbor. In the centre lies
the Columbia, with the Defender along
side. The Navahoe, another Herreshoff
cup winner, was not far distant. while
the Vigilant was stationed near the
mouth of the harbor.
The event of the afternoon was the
meeting of the captains on board the
Corsair, when 1t was voted that the
fleet will not lay over a day at Vine
yard Haven, but will be amenable to
a later, decision of the officers. This
means that the fleet will sail from
Newport to Vineyard Haven on Thurs
day; from Vineyard Haven to New
Bedford on Friday, and from New Bed
ford to Newport on Saturday. The run
to New Bedford will constitute the
principal change in the program as or
iginally outlined, and it will be the first
time in number Of years that the
New York fleet has touched at the old
whaling town.

PRESIDENT WILSON TALKS
Thinks Passengers Crowded and JOS
tied in Unnecessary Manner.

Portland Aug Tn the course of an
interview relating to the Mount Desert
Terry catastrophe of yesterday, Pres
ldent Wilson of the Main Central rail-
road was asked as to his theory of the
disaster. He said that when the excur-
sionists left the train they acted like
set OF crazy people, jostling, pushing
ana croWdlng one another in their
frantic efforts to reach the boats Mr..
wilson thought there was no necessity
for this, for the company had all the
water transportation that was required
and good deal more
Mr.. Wilson said that the officers of
the Sappho, when they saw how the
crowd was pushing, did everything in
their power to check It, Mr.. Wilson
says that just before the slip broke for
some unaccountable reason, the people
nearest the boat and at the farther
end of the slip, were seen by by-stand-
ers to push backwards. The greater
portion, however, who were at the
other end of the slip, spreading out be-
yond the centre of it, continued to urge
forward, and this created a very ir-
regular strain, for we had, so to speak,
two forces of moving humanity, work.
ing along different and opposing lines.
and the result of both was a pressure
on a certain spoke in that slip, which
doubled 1t up like a jackknife, and when
the break did occur, the people at the
shortest end and on the side Of the
steamer, just dropped into the water,
and so on piling over them, were the
crowd from the longer section of the
broken slip.
Being asked about the~Strength of the
slip, etc. Mr. Wilson said that the COM
pany's officers had always considered
| 1t strong enough TO hold all the people
that could get on it. In fact it had been
renovated not more than two months
ago, with new timbers, and yesterday
he carefully inspected the wood and be-
| lieved that it was as good and sound
as any to be found
In closing his interview, Mr.. Wilson
said: 1--WE feel that we have done
everything in Our power to care for
the safety of our passengers, and since
the accident nothing has been left un-
done by us to relieve the sufferers. No
pecuniary loss is weighing with us; 1t
is the great calamity that has occurred
on one of our lines of travel that gives
us the most anxiety"

Rennes, Aug. 1.-THE ancient capital
OF Brittany was never less moved
never more sluggish, than on this mo-
mentous day. 1t seemed a hundred
thousand miles away from Dreyfus
and his exciting case. He, Dreyfus,
was known to be good deal excited
but he had been keeping a stiff lip,
and yesterday he refused to see the last
set of photographs of his children
brought from Paris by his brother-in-
law.
He had remarked to his brother, M.
Matthew Dreyfus, on the strangeness of
his fate, so strange that he himself
could not yet realize 1t. Nothing, he
said, astonished him more than to find
factions disputing furiously about him
and to learn that he was an object of

The lord advocate also said he had

that Mr.. Carnegie had been appointed

whether Mr.. Carnegie was naturalized
or not, and undoubtedly the lord
chancellor and lord lieutenant did not
