MANY HONORS FOR
 ADMIRAL DEWEY From the Naval Powers of Euro-
 pean Countries. AN ENTHUSIASTIC GREETING Awaits Him At Any British Port At Which He May Stop Cambon
 Notifies France of the
 Heros Return.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC GREETING

Washington, May 14.-Admiral Dewey's homecoming by way of the Mediterranean is likely to give occasion for distinguished honors from the navies of Europe, most of them being represented by extensive suuadrons in those waters, and some Of them having their chief naval stations at Mediterranean ports.
 Already Ambassador Cambon of France has called the attention of the authorities at Paris to the return of Admiral Dewey by way of the Mediterranean, and the probable sailing of his flagship Olympia past the French naval ports in Algiers These are opposite the British possessions of Gibralter and Malta, at the entrance to the Mediterranean and are easy and na- tural stopping places along that route.
 It is hardly expected that the admiral will touch at Toulon, the great naval de- pot of France. At the ports of French Algeires he will be accorded every honor due not only to his rank, but to the univer- sal esteem in which he is held by the na- val fraternity
 The British authorities have taken no steps thus far to have the admiral stop at British ports, but it was stated today by one of the British officials that Dewey would be assured a most enthusiastic greeting if he stopped at any British sta- ton. and that undoubtedly steps would be taken to induce him to touch at Plymouth and Portsmouth, the southern naval de- pots of England if there was any prospect of his acceptance. In any event, 1t is said, that the admiral was quite likely to stop at Malta and Gibralter, as these are the usual coaling places, and this would give an opportunity for an expression of Brit ish esteem for him.
 In the event that the admiral could be induced to stop in England en route home it is said that he would probably be met at Alden or Port Said by British escort.

DISPATCHES FROM OTIS
Were Forwarded to President Mckin-
 ley by Alger

Hot Springs, Va, May 14.-Secretary AL ger forwarded to the president today some dispatches from General Otis. They ad- vised him that another peace commission from Agunaldo was on its way to Manila to discuss terms of peace. No instructions were sent from here to General Otis, the policy being, as heretofore, to leave mat ters entirely with General Otis.
 The dispatches also told of ill usage suf- fered by Spaniards from the insurgents at Zamboanga, one of the smaller islands of the Philippine group It may become necessary to send a light draught vessel there. No immediate action, however will be taken, as diplomatic questions are in- volved, and General Otis will be left to deal with the subject as he secs fit.
 The president spent quiet Sunday. In the morning he attended service at the Presbyterian church. The sermon was de- livered by Dr. White. the regular pastor of the church. It was simple in character, and did not touch on the president or na- tional affairs.

Buffalo, N. r., May 14.-The grain show elers will return to work tomorrow morn- ing under the agreement reached at 1 o'clock this morning at the conference be- tween the Lake Carriers, elevator men and grain shovelers.

WILL NOT ACCRDE TO RUSSIAN DEMAND For New Railway Concessions in
 FIowery Kingdom. CHINESE MUCH AGlTATED Russia's Action Will Probably Reopen the Question of the Rights of
 That Country and Great
 Britain in Orient
CHINESE MUCH AGlTATED

Shanghai, May 14.-The Tsung u Yamen Chinese foreign ofice) has replied to the Russian minister at Pekin, M. Degiers, to the Russian demand made last Wednes- day for a new railway concession connect ing Pekin with Russia's present system in Manchuria.
 Not since the taking of Port Arthur by Russia have the Chinese been so agtated as over this demand.
 Whether M. Degiers named a specific route is not yet ascertainable, some of ficials stating that only a preliminary asking for a line direct from Pekin to Shanghai Kwnn.
 Certainly the British legation in Pekin had no previous knowledge that such a proposal was coming from St. Petersburg. The concession asked for would ruin the existing northern railways in which Brit ish capital to the amount of 2000, GOO pounds is invested, but there seems to be no al- .ernate route without interfering with plaps for railway extension which the Chi nese themselves have in mind.
 It Is believed that Russia's action in this matter is intended to demonstrate to tho world that the recent convention with Great Britain respecting spheres of inter est in China, which was notified to the Chinese government almost immediately before this latest convention was demand ed has not fettered the action of Russia at the court of Pekin, and also to strength en Kussia's prestige with the Chinese, which was unfavorably affected by her withdrawal of her late protest respecting the northern railways.

 'In word. the author of The Introduce tion to the Study of Holy Scripture has simply stated conclusions which the best learning and the most devout minds have accepted before him.
 1T do not myself accept all of them, but that any of them denies or impugns any fundamental doctrine of the faith can only be shown by mutilations or perversions Of what the author has said, which are as malignant as they are interruptions.
 'I note the prediction with which you conclude-that Dr. Briggs advancement to the higher ministry, for which he has been recommended, will precipitate departures to the church of Rome. This would indeed be unfortunate, for the author of The h. troduction to the Study of Holy Scripture holds letters from eminent Roman Cath olic scholars of foremost rank in institu- tions of learning of foremost dignity, ex- pressing warmest appreciation of his con tribution to the study of the Bible ana intimating their purpose to make use or II in their class rooms.

PEACE CONFERENCE
 MAY BE RESULT. United States Commissioners Favor a
 Meeting WITH AGUINALD0'S ENV0YS
Band of Scouts Came in Collision With
 Insurgents at San Miguel.
REBELS THOUGHT ARMY WAS COMING
And After Firing a Few Shots Fled Be- fore the Band of Indian Fighters Young and Another Scout
 Slightly Wounded.

Manila, May 14-rhe civilian members of the United States Philippine commission are favorable to the meeting with a Fiii- pino commission, which was suggested on yesterday, on behalf of Aguinaldo, by Lieutenant Reyes, of the staff of General Gregerio del Pillar. who came to General Lawton under a flag of truce, bearing the proposal.
 It is thought by the American commis- sioners that the idea may have resulted from a recent meeting of the so-called Fill ipino congress at San Isidor. Definite in- formation on this point, however, cannot yet be obtained though the local Filipino committee, which is in close communica- ton with the leaders of the rebellion, is doing its utmost to secure peace.
 Ten members of Maior-General Lawton's band of scouts, under w. Y. Young. the Indian fighter, entered the town of San Miguel, about fifteen miles north of Norza- garay, not aware of what place it was. They found 200 Filipinos there, but tho rebels, taking the scouts for the advance of General Lawton's army, fled after firing a few shots. Young and another scout were wounded and have been brought to Manila The Ninth infantry anu tain battery of six guns have been sent to the front.
 Listening to a Band Concert
 The uniform quiet now prevailing in Ma nila has led the authorities to relax the rule under which the city streets were cleared from to 8:30 p. m., and this even ing there is the~largest and most brilliant assembly of pedestrians and people in car riages to listen to a band concert on the Luneta that has not been know nhere since the Spaniards left.
 Professor Schurman, president of the United States Philippine commissian, gave a farewell luncheon today to Admiral Dewey at which Prof. Dean c. Worcester and Col. Charles Denby of the commission with General Macarthur, Mrs. Lawton and others were present. The health of the ad- nliral were drunk with the utmost cordial ity.

PERSISTENT RUMOR OF GROWERS DEATH Has I Fake, and Cleveland is in the

About the Matter, Which He Says is
 Absurd.
"FlGHrlNG BOB" IS SURPRISED
Captain Evans, Who is With Grover at Middlebass Island, is At Loss to Know How the Story
 Gained Circulation

Toledo, O., May 4.-Telegraph inquiries parts of the country asking whether the runor that ex-President Cleveland had died during the afternoon is correct. The Associated Press has used every possible means to locate the foundation for this story and has been unable to find any. MT. Cleveland, according to the rumors, died suddenly during the afternoon at Mid dlebass island, in Lake Erie. From every point near the island the rumor was un- confirmed and every incoming boat from Put-in-l3ay island was asked, but there is no confirmation. The cable office at Put inlay closed on time and nothing could be gotten from that point, but all messag ges from the island must go to Sandusky, and nothing has been sent up to this time an- nouncing MT. Cleveland's death. There is one boat yet to arrive aS Sandusky, but it is expected to complete the denial of these rumors.
 He Is Very Much Alive
 The special tug sent to Middlebass island last night to confirm or deny the rumors Of the death of ex-President Cleveland reached Sandusky a few minutes before 2 o'clock. MT. Cleveland is alive and very we'll indeed. When informed of the ru- mors of his death he was much provoked, and said:
 "It is simply absurd" He turned around and walked into the club house.
 Captain Robley D. Evans, who is with Mir Cleveland at Middlebass, said
 President Cleveland has been exceeding ly we'll since he has been here, and I am at a loss to know how such a story could have gained circulation. He has not even had the slightest sickness since he has been here"

SHORT SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.

Dobbs Ferry, n. Y. July I'll
Robert G.. Ingersoll died suddenly
at noon today from a heavy stroke
of appoplexy.
Robert Green Ingersoll was
born in Dresden, n Y, August II,
1888. His Father was Presby-
terrain clergyman of such liberal
views that he was often prosecuted
for them and finally forced to
leave the pulpit This in early
life instIlled hatred in young
Robert Tor Calvinism and later he
became intensely antagonistic to
all religious denominations.
He was recognized everywhere
as an orator of extraordinary abil-
ity. In 1876 Ingersoll proposed
the name of james G. Blaine as a
candidate for president before the
national republican convention in
a speech that was masterpiece of
oratory. During late years he has
devoted much of his time to lee
turing, but as yet only three of
his lectures have appeared in book
form. These are Gods" "Ghost."
