should not forget the little scrap she
had over in this country once upon a

Some OF the enthusiasts want to
burden Admiral Dewey with a presi-
dental nomination. To force upon
him a nomination for any Office would
add nothing to his fame; it would, if
anything, detract from his magnifi
cent record by dragging him into the
slime of politics and trying to make a
partisan statesman OF a naval hero,
who now has honor beyond measure.

NOT. A CANDIDATE.
Circumstances Consent to a Non-
inatfOn for President.

New York, April 10. Admiral Dewey
has given to sthelManila correspondent
of Leslie's Weekly an interview regard
ing the suggestion that the admiral be
made a candidate for the presidency
next year. The admiral said, as to his
politics:
II am sailor. A sailor has no poll
tics. The administration is his party,
and, republican or democratic, it
makes no difference. Then, again,
come from Vermont and you know
what that means. To be anything but
a republican in Vermont is to be a
man without a party. My flag lieu
tenant comes from Georgia. He tells
me that to be anything but democrat
in the south is to be nobody. If I
lived south I would probably be dem
ocrat."
Admiral Dewey said that neither by
vocation, disposition, education or
training was he capacitated to fill the
presidency. He said that he was too
we'll along in life to consider such pos
sibility. His health would not admit it
All his life's work was in different lines
of effort, and that while the kindness
and enthusiasm of his friends were
grateful to him and the generous trib-
utes of the American people were dear
to him he could not and would not be
a candidate for the presidency of the
United States under any conditions.

Justice Field was born at Haddam. Conn,
on November 4. 1916, but after he was three
years old lived for ten years at Stock

prominently identified with the remark
able family of which he was only one Of

acceptance of the resignation wrote:
Upon your retirement both the bench
and the country will sustain a great loss,
but the high character and great ability
of your work will live and long be remern-
bered not only by your colleagues. but by
your grateful fellow countrymen."

Santa Cruz was the Filipinos strong
hold on Lake Laguna de Bay and it fell
into the hands of Gen. Lawton's expedi-
ton after some sharp, quick fighting,
forming one of the most interesting
and important battles of the war.
Plans of the American commanders
worked perfectly, with the exception
that the progress of the expedition was
delayed by the difficult navigation of
the rivers. About 1900 picked men COM
posed the expedition, which was under
the personal command of Gen. Lawton,
on account of the illness of Gen. King.
These troops partly surrounded the city
while the gunboats Laguna de Bay,
Napidan and Oeste. under the command
of Capt. Grant, of the Utah battery,
shelled the city and outlying trenches.
