Deweys health:
Admiral Dewey is in perfect health.
He has not been more than twenty
miles away from Manila since the first
day of last May, and he has not felt
the necessity of a physicians aid in tina!
time. The reports concerning the adj

grossly exaggerated. The climate of
Manila is enervating. of course, but the
compander of the fleet has been no
more affected by it than any one else

+ CATHOLIC BISHOP.
Laborers Coming in From Other cities
TO Work at Buffalo Docks.

Buffalo, N. Y, May president
Johnson of the state board of mediation
and arbitration; H d. Goulder. official
attorney for the Lake Carriers asso-
citation, and Mr. Douglass, representing
the Western Elevator association, called
on Bishop Quigley of the Catholic do
cese of Buffalo today and asked him
to endeavor to induce the grain shovel
ers to accept the proposition made by
Contractor Connors. The result of con-
ference. could not be ascertained. 1t is
understood however, that Bishop Quig-
ley requested for time for considera-
ton and consultation with the priests
in whose parishes the trouble is CEN
tered.
The fact that Mr.. Goulder intends to
remain over in Buffalo until tomorrow
night, is believed to indicate that
Bishop Quigley will make known his
answer some time tomorrow.
Nearly all of the grain shoveiers are
Irishmen and attend the Catholic
church. 1t is thought, therefore, that
suggestion coming from the bishop
would carry its great weight.
The monthly men at the elevators
held a big meeting this afternoon.
Resolutions were adopted expressing
sympathy with the cause of the grain
shovelers, and it was unanimously
voted that whenever there should be
any signs of growing strength on the
part of Contractor Connors a strike
would be declared. Contractor Connors
is beginning to import men from other
cities to take the places of the striking
grain shovelers.

SAFE BLOWN OPEN.
New B. & A. Depot
at Westboro Entered
By Burglars.
IN ERIOR WRECKED.
Iron Door Hurled
Into a Swamp Seventy
five Feet Distant.

Westboro, May 1.-The new Boston
and Albany railroad station was brok-
en- into early this morning, by parties
unknown. The burglars gained en-
trance by forcing a side window near
the office. The safe was drilled and
-glycerine was used as an ex-
plosive A large quantity must have
been used, as the appearance of the
office this morning would indicate.
The safe was a total wreck. The
sides were spread open by the force
of the explosion and the door was
hurled through a window and landed
in the swamp, a distance of rs feet.
All the fancy windows in the office
were more or less damaged.
The safe door in it's flight through
the window struck against the wooden
Orders on the roof of the passenger
platform and badly splintered them.
Directly over the office was a large sec
ton of glass which formed the ceiling
of the Office. This also was a total
wreck.
Whether the noise of the explosion
alarmed the rascals or not, is not
known, but they evidently left in a
hurry, as nothing was taken. The in
side steel box of the safe was not
touched at all and even the contents
of the ticket rack was intact Parties
who reside in the neighborhood heard
loud noise about 2 O'clock, but did
not think Of burglars being around.
The clock in the ticket office stopped
at Z minutes of 2 which indicates that
the crooks blew the safe at that time.
The SPOT where the depot is located
is rather a dismal one after dark.
The depot sets about 100 yards from
the main road and directly in front Of
it is vast woody swamp.
A path leads through the swamp,
and it is thought that the party or
parties In question made off in that
direction. Hiram +. Chamberlain,
who runs a newspaper store here, was
at the station at g o'clock this morn
in@. as is his usual CUSTOM to get the
Sunday morning papers, but did not
notice anything out of place, as the
spot was dark.
He went to the station again at $40
o'clock and it was then that he saw
the results of the burglars work Sta
ton Agent Fred H. Fairbanks and
Baggagemaster Ryan were notified
and were soon on the scene, and. with
a competent gang of workmen, have
been at work all day clearing up the
rubbish.
1t is thought by some people that it
was the work of the same gang who
broke into the boot and shoe shop of
Gregly g. Shaw at South birmingham,
Friday evening. The burgla $ left no
clue, and the police are in the dark
concerning their whereabouts.

Aguinaldo's Bloody Procla-
nation Read to Three Big
Mass Meetings.

Chicago, May 7.-Three big mass
meetings of '1oyalists" were held in

other meetings. Appropriate resolu-
lions were read by Gen. John Black
and adopted unanimously at all of the
meetings Letters of regret were read
from Judge Lambert Tree, Rev, DR..
Lyman Abbott and DR.. e. Benjamin
Andrews,
In connection with Dr. Abbott's letter
of regret, Judge Horton, the chairman
Of the meeting, read copy of pro-
clamation to the Filipinos, issued by
Aguinaldo, Feb. 81 which contains the
following paragraphs:
First you will SO dispose that at 3
o'clock at night the individuals of the
territorial militia at your order will be
found united in all of the streets of
San Pedro, armed with their bolos and
revolvers, or guns and ammunition, if
convenient.
Second, Philippine families only will
be respected; they should not be mol
ested, but all other individuals of what
ever race they may be, will be EXTERN
mated without apprisement; compass
sion after the determination of the ar
my of occupation.
Third, the defenders of the Philip
pines in your command will attack
the guard at Bibidid and liberate the
prisoners "presidarious," and accom-
plished this, they will be armed saying
to them: Brothers, we must avenge
ourselves on Americans and exterminate
them, that we may take our revenge for
the infamy and treachery which they
have committed upon us. Have no
compassion upon them. Attack with
vigor All Filipinos en- masse will sec
ond you"

Totally Destroyed.

Woonsocket, r. l., May 7.-All
the buildings connected with the
Woonsocket Driving Park were burned
this afternoon. and so pounds of dyna-
mite stored in one of the stables ex-
ploded and added to the devastation,
besides shaking up the country for
miles around.
At the time of the explosion A. c.
Stacey, the care taker of the park, was
in an adjoining building 20 feet away
and only received a rev bruises, al
though a similar structure, the same
distance away on the other side of the
dynamite, was completely demolished.
The buildings destroyed were valued
at $4,000. The small buildings first
took fire from a brush fire in the vici-
nifty and the strong breeze caused it
to spread before help could be sum-
moned.

Philadelphia, Pa, May SIT is stated
on reliable authority that the eastern

bind themselves into an organization
with strength enough to defy any rival
trust that could possibly be formed,
and particularly the Prick combination.
These concerns are the Cambria Steel
Company, Bethlehem iron works,
Pennsylvania Steel Company, Tide

A prominent official of one of the
above companies said that such a COM
bination was desirable, and was not by
any means beyond the bounds of pos
sibility in the near future, as, with one
exception, the eastern companies pos
sessed immense advantages over those
which have been taken into the Prick
trust for the reason that they are at
tidewater.

New England and the War.

The Forty-sixth Regiment OF Nolun-
teers left South Pennington, Mass,
yesterday 18th inst, for the Philip
pines, amid great enthusiasm. The
cheering was Of the heariicst, and the
men left for the scene of action in
high spirits. The regiment numbers
1900 officers and men, an excellent evil
dence that recruiting in New England
has not been failure New England
has been probably more sharply criti-
cised on account of opposition to the
Presidents policy on the part ofcertain
people than any other section Of the
country. II Is evident, however, that
the Atkinson movement does not rep
resent the sentiment of New England.
New Englanders are too loyal to de-
sire that the flag should be hauled
down after 1t had been fired upon. A
New England soldier who was in SER
vice in the Philippines when the At

Hartwcll in Washing ton.

Under the heading I'm Hotel Lob
bies," the Washington Post publishes
the following:
Gen. Alfred S. Hartwell, who is n
guest of the Shoreham, after dis
tinguished career in the Union Army,
settled in Honolulu in 1868. and ever
since has been one OF the foremost men
of Hawaii In influence and social pres
tige. On arriving there he went upon
the Supreme Bench, holding the Office
of Justice until King Kalakaua ap-
pointed him attorney general.
Gen. Hartwell comes to Washington
as the special representative of the
government of Hawaii. President Dole
selected him as peculiarly well fitted to
give information and counsel upon the
questions that will have to be con-
sidered when Congress proceeds to
legislate in behalf of our island pos
sessions. General Hartwell was also
appointed delegate to the Interna-
tional Commercial Congress in Phila-
deiphia, and yesterday addressed the
congress upon Pacific Ocean Teleg-
raphy," urging In the most forcible
manner the need Of the immediate con-
struction of cable lines to Hawaii, ia
pan, and the Philippines.
In regard to Hawaii he Is convinced
that the territorial form of govern
ment Is best for the islands, seeing that
they are already dominated by lntelli-
gent and progressive Americans, and
can In no sense be looked upon in the
light Of a colonial dependency.
