Dewey moment later, but 1 feel a bit

nearly two years, he needs something
of the shore. I am awfully glad to be
among my own people again"
Admiral Dewey has no plans of his
own. He is in the hands of the commit
tee on reception. In a general way he
thinks that the Olympia should join the
squadron off TompkinsvilIe tomorro1a

Adjutant General Avery D. Andrews
of the National Guard gave out a state
ment with regard to Gov. Roosevelt's 5
proposed visit to Admiral Dewey to-
morrow upon which occasion the COVER

Greene, an old friend of Admiral
Dewey. The last paragraph of Gen
Andrews statement summarizes all
that precedes it and is as follows:
The governors call upon Admiral
Dewey on Thursday viii be wholly in
dependent of the official reception by
the committee and has no more connec-
tion with that function than has the
visit of Admiral Sampson as the Off
ciaI representative of the president of
the United States.
courteous for the governor on behalf of
the state of New York to omit to call
upon Admiral Dewey Immediately upon
his arrival. These plans were made be-
fore Admiral Dewey's arrival in the
lower bay but will be carried out sub
ject to such slight notifications as cir
cumstances may require
Rear Admiral Sampson went aboard
the Olympia at 2 o'clock to pay a visit
to Admiral Dewey. 1t was decided that
all the members of the reception COM
mittee who were in the city should go
down to the Olympia this afternoon. The
party included St. Clair McKeIway,

Alfred NJ. Downes.
Ex-Governor Levi P Morton, a mem~
and ex-Secretary of the Navy VIM. G..

he has received the appointment as a
member of the committee, or if he ac-
cepts.
Chairman Lewis Nixon of the COM
mittee on fireworks sent word during
the day to all towns along the coast
requesting the burning of red fire in
honor of Admiral Dewey instead of on
Thursday as has been arranged.
Rear Admiral Philip, accompanied by
his senior aide, Commander J. D. J.
Kelley, left the Brooklyn navy yard
shortly after L o'clock to pay a visit

GIVE UP PRISONERS.
Filipino Congress Decides to
Release Lieut.. Gilmore.

New York, Sept. 26.-A Herald dis
patch from Manila says:
The two Englishmen who assert that
they were shipwrecked in small open
boat near Bigan, at the northern end of
LuzOn brought a message from the in
Surgent general, PantelOn Garcia, that
IA American prisoners who are now
held at Tarlac, win be relased on Tues
day or Wednesday.
The delay in releasing these prisoners
as promised several days ago, is due to
the fact that the FiIipinos wish to fur
nish the men with new clothing when
they set them free.
The Englishmen state further that
Lieut.. J. c. Gilmore and the captured
boats crew from the Yorktown are still
at Bigan but will be released later in
accordance with the decision of the
Filipino congress and the subsequent
decree of AguinaldO providing for the
surrender of all American prisoners
The admitted purpose of the F'ilipinos
in thus freeing the Americans is to i'm
press foreign powers.
The Englishmen say that Lieut.. Gil
more and his men are not being treated
well. They are receiving only 20 cents
a day each for rations.
The released Englishmen assert that
three Americans who were taken pris-
oners have accepted commissions in the
insurgent army. One of the three is
said to have been a sergeant. Another
is said to have been a corporal in the
California regiment, while the third is
Five officers of the Japanese army
are assisting the insurgents in their
preparations The Filipino authori-
ties sent word that no trace can be
found of Captain Rockefeller of the
Ninth infantry who disappeared in
April and was supposed to have been
captured.
The railroad bridges in insurgent ter
ritOry have been washed out especially
the one at Bandan, above Tarlac and
the insurgents are having difficulty in
supplying the troops in the immediate
front OF the American line. The insur-
gent army has a heterogeneous supply of
arms Sometimes there are four types
of rifles to a regiment.
The main resistance to the American
advance is to be made at Tar1ac. On
the way to the American lines the Eng
Iishmen were taken on a wide tour
away from the insurgent front and
were thus unable to see the rebel de-
fences, which are reputed to be strong.
