Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty
God, the giyer and receiver of life, in
His infinite wisdom, goodness and mer-

and generous friend, and to the
Meagher Guard staunch advocate and
supporter: therefore, be it
Resolved, As slight mark and token

DEWEY'S OPINION.
He Says the Filipinos Are Capable of
Self-Goyernment.


New York, Sept 1.-THE World pup-
fishes dispatch from Gibraltar giving
an interview with Admiral Dewey just
before the Olympia sailed for New
York. The Worlds correspondent asked
the admiral for a statement of his views
as to the Philippine policy.
I've little to say" he said, until the
recommendations of the committee OF
which l am member, are laid before
President Mckinley"
Did you read what Mr.. Schurmann,
one OF the commissioners, had TO say
upon his return from the Philip
pines?"
LAS he is quoted in the newspapers,
he definitely explains my position.
quite agree with what Mr.. Schurmann
says, indeed, 1 attach great Importance
to his opinions. He is an able and high
minded man, whose intelligence and
conscientious devotion to the task as
signed him won my admiration. We are
invariably in accord"
Admiral Dewey has never expressed
regret that he asked TO be made one OF
the Philippine commissioners. On the
other hand he has said that he is glad
| he was member of the commission,
| and his greatest desire now is to put its
reports in the hands of the president as
| soon as possible.
You may add this" the admiral said,
| with great earnestness, Il have not
| changed my opinion which ! started in
| the early days in Manila, then speak
| ing of a knowledge of both people. that
l consider the Filipinos more capable OF
self government than the Cubans. l
| took the keenest interest in those Fill
| pinos who were employed at the arsenal
| at Cavite, and often l was surprised by
| their intelligence. With fair and prop
| erly directed opportunities there are
| great possibilities in the Filipinos."
From Montpelier the admiral expects
| to return to Washington for the ses-
| sions of the Filipino commission.
II do not know" he said, IF Colonel
DENLY will return by that time. If he
has returned, l hope to met both he
| and Mr.. Schurmann in Washington. OF
course General Otis cannot leave the
Philippines, and l see that Prof. Dean
Worcester is still in the islands. How
ever, there should be little difficulty in
| making our formal report. / hope we
will get to work at once and kepe at 1t
until our task is finished. Anyhow,
Schurmann and myself can put our
heads together"
| / mentioned to the admiral what was
uppermost in the minds of many men
who were at Manila-what his officers
believe-that had he been given full
| powers as a governor general, there
would have been no rebellion. The ad-
miral raised his eyebrows at this, as one
who gets information for the first time.
| He was absolutely startled.

Dropped n Match.

Shortly after 10 o'clock last night the
fire department responded to an alarm
from box 81 and put out a fire in the
kitchen of No. 215' South Montana
street, a lodging house conducted by
Anton Richelieu and owned by Mrs. M.
Hamel of FrenchtoWn. There was no
insurance on the furniture, but $500 on
the house, a two-story frame. 1t is
thought that some one dropped a match
in the woodbox in the kitchen. There
was no fire in the stove. The damage
is nominal.
