ADMIRAL DRWEYS HEALTH.
Surgeon Page Declares 1t as Good
Gould BE EXDected.

SuIRSoh GdRe DSclafes II as GOOD as
Could Be Expected.
Washington, May 25.-Surgeon ]. E.
Page, of Admiral Dewey's flagship
Olympia, has arrived here on leave.
He came ahead of the Olympia TO
avoid the long delays of the sail via
the Suez canal. Surgeon Page has
been on the flagship ever since Dewey
took command, seeing him daily and
having general charge of medical af-
fairs, so that he is in a position to
give an intelligent view of the ad-
mirals health and general condition.
He said:
Admiral Dewey is no sense a sick
man, but is as well as any man could
be after spending a year in the tropics
! was on the Olympia at the time he
came aboard, and from that time to
the present do not believe there has
been any appreciable change in his ap-
pearance, weight or general condition.
Anyone who thinks he is a physical
wreck should hear the admiral on the
quarter deck when ne gets aroused.
Of course everyone In the fleet has
suffered in health more or less during
the last year, owing to the terrific and
long sustained heat and the enervat-
ing climate. It takes all the life out
of strong man, and undoes his energy
and ambition. In that way Dewey
suffered with all the rest of us. It was
particularly arduous during blockade
duty, when for long stretches no man
could get ashore"

ACCORDING to the statement of the
Harrisburg Commonwealth, which
seems to speak by the card, some of
the state Normal schools, which haYe
been receiving thousands of dollars
annually from the state, are not
worthy of state aid because they are
said to be only a benefit to some of
the gentlemen financially interested
in them. Pennsylvania is burdened
with an over abundance of normal
schools which annually turn out
hundreds of ready-made teachers.
These graduates all expect to be APP
pointed to positions in the schools,
and as few teachers resign and few
die and many have ambition to serve
for years, it is frequently very diff
cult matter for new applicants, fresh
from the NOrmals, to secure places.
The wholesale graduation of Normal
school students is responsible to a
great extent for the low wages paid
teachers, and until restrictions are en-
forced which will make it more diff
cult for mediocre students to gradu-
ate in two years from the Normals,
conditions will remain practically
unchanged. Pennsylvania is suffer
ing at present from an over-produc-
tiOn Of teachers, some excellently
trained, and others possessing only
fair ability

Buffalo, May 25-That the haTbor

Corners and elevator men this morn
ing. With the big force of scoopers
that were at work yesterday 1000, 600
bushels of grain had been elevated up
to 6 o'clock last evening" and work is
going on rapidly day and night The
adoption of the new system brought
about by the strike was attended by
no trouble of any consequence.
The coal beavers who left the Erie
docks reported for work at noon today
and President Keefe, of the Interna-
tional 'Longshoremen' association,
said that the coal beavers on the Le-
high and Lackawanna docks would be
at work again tomorrow. They are
the last of the strikers to reach an
agreement, all of the other docks hav-
ing been manned yesterday.
The new grain shovelers' union was
reorganized last night under the di-
rection of Mr. Keefe. President P. j.

board of officers were reelected.

the second day of the national jubilee
celebration in this city was the civic
parade yesterday Afternoon. 1t con-
sisted Of all the fraternal. civic and
trade organizations of the city, to-
gether with long procession of floats
The parade passed through the court
of honor, where President Mckinley
his cabinet and a distinguished com
pany reviewed it from stand in front
of the White House grounds. There
was much merriment and enthusiasm
and the parade was a distinct success
1t was over an hour in passing the re-
viewing stand. After the civic parade
there was a floral procession of flower
decorated carriages, but these were
few in number, and this feature was
consequently a disappointment to the

me FIGHTING IN MANILA.


Troops. Mt Malolos.
Manila, May 25.-Generals MacAr-
thur and Funston, with the Kansas
and Montana regiments and the Utan
battery, have dispersed 500 insurgents
who were entrenched on the railroad
beyond San Fernando, near Santa
Arita.
The American scouts were fired upon
from the trenches unexpectedly and
withdrew. The firing was heard at San
Fernando and GeSral Macarthur as
sembled his troops and marched quick
ly after the scouts The Montana
regiments fanked the trenches on tho
left and the Kansas regiment attacked
the enemy's right flank, General Funs-
ton leading the charge at the double
quick.
The insurgent loss was large, many
prisoners we're captured and it is re-
ported that 20 Americans were wound
ed.
General Lawton, with most of his
troops, has arrived at Malolos. His ex-
pedition marched 100 miles in 20 days,
had % fights, captured 2S towns, de-
stoyed 100000 bushels of rice and only
lost men killed and 81 wounded. On
the other hand, General Lawton esti-
mates that his troops killed 400 insur-
gents and wounded double that num-
Der.
The rear guard of General Lawton's
expedition had a hard fight with in
surgents while aiding a signal party
to pick up it's wires. One American
was killed and IA we're wounded.
Five American regulars, instead of
one, were drowned by the sinking of
raft on the Pasig ferry.
Major Bell, with a accommodating
party, killed 20 insurgents and wound

Baltimore, May 25-Five hundred
saloon in Baltimore, it is estimated,
will quit the business. Some of them
have already closed their doors, and
others will follow. The cause of the
great shutdown is the determination
which controls nearly nine-tenths of
the output of the city, the Maryland
Brewing company, to abandon the
practice of paying the saloon licenses.
Last year, on May II, applications for
license filed with the board of liquor
license commissioners numbered 2,451.
On the same date this year only 2,291
applications had been fled, falling
off of 160. The decrease in applications
indicates what the extent of the gem
eral shutdown in the saloon business
will be. 1t is safe to say that about
one-fifth of those who have applied
for licenses will not buy them.

learn the wishes of the Washington
volunteers on the advisability of re-
turning by way of Puget Sound, thus
landing them directly at their homes
instead of at San Francisco, where the
general camp of returning volunteers

strong pressure recently brought to
bear by the two Washington senators
and the people of that state, in favor
of return via Puget Sound. Secretary
