On ;ubig nv.
The monitor Monterey, the cruiser
Charleston and the gunboats Concord
and Zafiro bombarded the Filipino works
Mt Olongapo for six hours. The town
caught fire from the shells and was con-
sumed. Two hundred and fifty marines
and bluejackets landed and occupied the
works. The insurgents used sixteen
centimeter Krupp gun, the shells of which
were loaded with guncotton. One Ameri-
can was wounded. The town of Olongapo
is on Subig bay. The fact that the in
surgents were erecting earthworks and
otherwise terrifying the place led Ad-
miral Watson to send the naval expedi-
ton to destroy the Notifications.
1t is reported that the insurgents have
captured the United States gunboat Ur-
dancta, in the Arani river, on the north
west side of Manila bay, where she was
patrolling. The United States gunboat
Petrol, sent to investigate the matter, re-
turned and reported the Urdaneta beach
cd. She was riddled with bullets and
burned. The crew OF the Urdaneta are
prisoners, or have been killed.

ADMIRAL DEwEY's FUTURE.

Will BE Needed in Washington During
Session of Philippine Com mi ssion.
Admiral Dewey is to be formally de-
tached from the Olympia. The flagship
will then proceed to Boston, where she
will be placed out of commission and re-
ceive an overhauling. The admiral will
not be assigned to duty until he has been
consulted on the subject. The President
and the Secretary of the Navy will as
certain his desires. While the action of
the Navy Department will be dependent
on the wishes of the admiral, President
Mckinley and Secretary Long have GER
tain plans concerning him to which he
will hardly object. When the Philippines
commission assemblies in November, Ad-
miral Dewey's presence at the meeting
will be necessary, as he is one Of its
members. 1t Is probable that the COM
mission will remain in Washington dur
ing most If not all of the coming session
of Congress.
Admiral Dewey will reach the retiring
age OH Dec. 20, but as the law leaves it
optional with him whether to retire or
not he will, it is believed, prefer to re-
main on the active list. 1t is said that
the present intention of the Navy Depart
ment is to assign Admiral Dewey to duty
as the confidential advisor of the Secrs-
tary Of the Navy on naval affairs. TIE
