Tue London Daily News Of Aug.
81, contains in full that interview
with Admiral Dewey at Naples.
which was cabled to the United
States and awakened much
interest here. The News has

its correspC ndent. The correspon-

manner at once frank aud modest.
He is. indeed, very modest man

"Do not believe" said Admiral
Dewey, that the American feet was
so much superior to the Spanish.

Conversation then, after some re-
marks from Admiral Dewey on the
U. S.ravy, and on the various ep.

to the question of the Philippines.
"Do you think, admiral, that the is
lands are likely to be pscltied soonf'
The admiral replied as follows:

pines more at heart than any other
American, because know the Flip

surrection is the fruit Of the anarchy
which has so long reigned in the is
land. The insurgents will have to
submit themselves to law after being
accustomed to no law at all. | be-

it. 1t is a question Of time, but the
only way to settle the .insurrection
and to insure prosperity to the ar.
chipeligo. IS to concede self-govern.
ment to the inhabitants. That would
be the solution of many questions,

worthy of it, and are So"

THE islands are at this moment
blocked by feet, and war reigns in
the interior. This abnormal state Of
things should cease. | should like
to see autonomy first conceded, and
then annexation might be talked
about. This is my opinion, and !
should like to see violence at once
put stop to. According to me, the
concession of self government ought
to be the most just and logical solu-
ton"
The admiral spoke with an air Of
frank conviction.
"Do you think conflict between
Germany and the United States over
the Philippines possiblei" asked.
1T is impossible to foresee the un-
foreseeable," came the reply. "Then,
admiral, you deny the statements Of

from sol 'urn 10 Eiropo. To was
ore cf those who went on the excur
sion to The North Cape.
IL WAS on this cruise that the G r
man Emperor visited the steamer,
where be was received with much en-
thuslasm. The X ,iser desired to
Ia K with a preventative American
on some subjects on which he wished
to be informed. aud Captain Ktempf,
selected Mr. Wanamaker.
Their ltervlew was a very pleas
ant one, and Mr. WaDamaker returns
much impressed by the personality
of the ruler of the Germans.
at was a very unusual and grac
ious courtesy of His Majesty the
Emperor, said Mr.. Wanamaker,
ITO invite the interview, aud
to give me nearly an hour cf
his time, as well as his personal at
tention, in showing me the Hoheu-
z)llern.
To make the freedom of the con-
versaton of one gentleman with an
other the unexpected subject of an
interview for newspaper publication
does not seem to me to be proper.
J must say, however, that | was
greatly impressed with the wide scope
Of the Kaiser's thinking and his
great desire to inform himself on
some subject that be thought Amerl-
can citizens were developing.
Il believe the Emperor to be
broad minded aud without the mar
rowness that i'll Informed persons
sometimes attribute 70 him.
TO me he seemed to be filed with
a high purpose, not only to be ruler,
bu to advance the vel are and hap
ness Of his people. Very sure am
that his pride in the traditions and
present glory of the German Empire
will not cloud his appreciation OF the
near Western Empire which is no in
considerable part German Amerl-
can.
There can be no question of doubt
that it will be no fault of the young
and vigorous Kaiser if the relations
between America and Germany are
not of the closest and most cordial
character.
81 may add further that | regarded
speaking with the Emperor in prl-
vate capacity as representing my
country, and therefore dealt IN what
ever common sense | could command
to increase the good will of one
great nation toward another"

The Baltimore Sun says -
"The tariff on Philippine and
Cuban tobacco imported into the
United States remains unchanged,
despite the nav relations with these
countries established by the McKin-

be sought, perhaps, in the fact that
Ohio produces e large lot Of tobacco,

The Denver Republican says We

adds:
From every aspect the United

military ambition now as it had in
August, 1898, but the swsshbuckler
spirit has just about disappeared.
There is little more than melancholy
satisfaction in Luzon victory. The
fervent welcome to the belsted re-
turning volunteers manifests as much
of rejoicing over the end of general
participation in hostilities as Of exul-
tation over vctories.o

George S. Boutwell,,

Ex.Gov. Boutwell, had been invited
to be present at the gathering of the
labor veterans because of his personal
agency in bringing about the estab
lishment Of short hours of mechanical
work in the various departments of
the government, and the letter was
sent in reply to this invitation.
The letter created somewhat OF q
sensation. Mr.. Boutwell, though one
of the most pronouu ced opponents OF
the imperialist policy, is one of the
oldest of living Republican states
men, and his willingness to go the
length of urging the defeat of Mr.
Mckinley caused some surprise.

Letter From Hen. Geo. S. Boutwell,.
Veterans of the labor movement
in Boston held a dinner at the Quincy
House last week in honor of the 25th
anniversary of the l0-hour law.
The feature of the occasion was
the reading Of letter from the Hon.
George S. Boutwell,, urging upon the
working people of the country in the
most unqualified terms the duty OF
defeating the reelection Of President
Mckinley, because of his avowed
purpose of conquering the Philip
pines and holding them pc 'manently
under the jurisdiction OF TIE United
States. The letter is as follows

Dear Sir 1t is with misgivings that
| put aside the opportunity to meet
you and your friends aud associates
on the 18th anniversary Of the pas
sage of the 10 0-hour l.w in MassachG-
setts.
have welcomed the steps by which
the interests OF the laborIng classes
have been advanced IN the last half
century, and the limitations Of the
hours of labor have been among the
most important steps.
AS fact of history and as an act
Of personal justice, take this occa
sion to say that Gen. Banks prepared
the bill by which the eight-hour rule
wss introduced into the labor of serY-
ice Of the United States.
To me and to you one topic is su
preme over all others when questions
of public importance are under con
sideration.
The nation is passing through a
crisis. or rather it is in a crisis, which
portends all of evil TO the lsboring
population. that can ever come to
them-their downfall from a condl-
ton of independence, ofpower IN the
sffairs of the country to a state OF
servillty through competition with
the millions of the oriental world.
The Philippines are never to be sur
rendered. SO says the President
They are to be Conquered, and they
are to be kept within or under the
jurisdiction of the United States.
The laboring population OF this
country have one means of avertlng
this evil, and | do not hesitate in ad
vising its use.
Let them unitedly and with energy
oppose the re election of President
Mckinley aud their days of peril
will be ended and the country will
be saved from the grasp Of imperial
ism.
Very truly,
George S. Boutwell,.
