WHOLE WORLD ADNIREs.
Spanish Minister Discusses Dewey
Celebration.

Boston, Oct. 6.-The Spanish minister,
Duke de ARGOS, who has just left his
house at Manchester, said with regard
to the receptions being given Admiral
Dewey:
1T does not surprise me in the least.
Admiral Dewey is a brave and noble
man and for the extraordinary service
he has rendered his country no honor
that can be shown him in return is too
great He has aroused the admiration
of the whole world by the gallantry of
his conduct and he would be small
man. indeed, who could not recognize
his merit and give free expression to
his admiration for Dewey'S Va1Or.'
The minister was emphatic in ex-
pressing the opinion that the very best
of feeling existed between the United
States and Spain.
There is absolutely no differences
between the countries on any point" he
said. Certainly" he continued, lit is
the hope of all true Spaniards that this
condition should exist and as for my
self, as the official representative of the
queen regent, it is the ambition of my
life to bring about the very utmost of
good feeling and good will

POPULAR SUBSCRIPTIONS.
Maj. Anderson Makes Good Sugges-
ton About Reception Fund.

Since it seems probable that the
Twentieth Kansas reception committee
will get no appropriation from the city
government, and that all the funds
necessary for the reception will have to
be raised by the subscription plan,
Secretary Anderson of the Commercial
club proposes a popular" subscription
in addition to the papers circulated by
the finance committee.
THE finance committee said Major
Anderson, will not be able to see every
body In the city. It can see the bust
ness men and those from whom large
subscriptions are to be obtained. but it
will be impossible for the committee to
call upon everybody. There are many
persons in the city who would be not
only willing, but glad, to contribute a
small amount, and the aggregate would
be considerable. The committee can
designate places where these subscrip-
lions can be made, and many people
will call and make small subscriptions
without solicitation. Ten thousand dol
lars is big amount to raise, and we
will have to pull all the strings posi-
ble"
