GAVE A PEACE DINNER.
Americans and Filipinos Mingle To-
gether at Manila.


New York, May IA dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Manila
says:
The first notable social demonstra-
ton of friendliness by the Filipinos to-
wards the Americans since hoStilitles
began occurred last evening. This took
the form of dinner reception at the
residence of Senior Abreu in honor of
United States Commissioners Jacob
Schurman and Dean Worcester, and
Major General Macarthur and Consul
Williams, who represented the United
States at Manila during the time of
Spanish sovereignty over the Philip
pines. Mrs. Russell, Mrs. Beveridge and
other Americans were present. Among
the prominent Filipinos at the dinner
were Senores Torres, Legaraza and
Rosario, all of whom were former men,
bers of Aguinaldo's congress, and thirty
Filipino ladies.
Senior Tavaro proposed a toast to
Peace" which was full of friendly in
terest, and Commissioner Schurman re-
sponded in a happy speech.
The leading Filipinos of Manila are
doing much toward creating friendly
sentiment, and are anxious to have
commerce restored and the ports
opened once more. Great crops of sugar
and hemp of the various islands are
now being marketed.
Although desultory firing continues
along the skirmish lines, the insurgents
are so broken, discouraged and divided
that it is impossible for them to offer
a strong resistance to our forces.
Aguinaldo's last proclamation shows
a feeling of hopelesSnesS, although he
calls upon his countrymen to fight to
the death His cabinet, however, does
not show the same spirit, but is anxious
to secure peace on any terms Its ennis
saries who returned yesterday are ex-
pected back next week.
General Luna's reported weak def
ance of Aguinaldo is not considered
important here.

THE CRY OF THE DREAMER.
John Bowie O,ReiIly.)

mtired of planning and toiiing
In the crowded hives of men;
Heart-weary of building and spelling,
And spelling and building again,
And / long for the dear old river
Where ! dreamed my youth away
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in a day.
l am sick of the snowy seeming
OF a life that is half a lie.
OF the faces lined with scheming
In the throng that hurries by,
From the sleepless thoughts endeavor
L would go where the children play
For a dreamer lives forever,
And thinker dies in a day.
l can feel no pride. but pity
For the burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives of the peer.
Oh. the little hands too skillful.
And the child-mind choked with weeds
The daughters heart grown willful,
And the fathers heart that bleedS.
No. no; from the streets rude hustle.
From trophies from mart and stage,
/ would fly to the woods low rustic
And the meadows kindly page.
Let us dream as of yore by the river,
And be loved for the dream alway-
For the dreamer lives forever.
But the toiler dies in a day.

as the body fell at his feet, and then,
with his glasses to his eyes, he added:

The Maria Teresa was running her
nose on the beach, and in an instant

was ordered to concentrate her fire on
the Almirante Oquendo. and, with the
Oregon's assistance, in ten minutes
more, the Oquendo was sent ashore
burning The Iowa, in the meantime,
had sunk one torpedo boat destroyer,
and the other one had been driven back
by the Gloucester's rapid fire.
At 10:47 the Brooklyn turned her at
tention to the Vizcaya, the Cristobol

At 1915 the Vizcaya was raked fore
and aft, clean along her gun deck by
an eight-inch shell from the Brooklyn.
Another one minute later exploded
in her superstructure with terrific
force, killing eighty people. She was
afire and at 1885 she headed for the
beach at Aceraderos, where she went
ashore The Brooklyn did not stop,
but went on the chase after the Cristo-
bal Colon, the Oregon closing rapidly
up and following her.
The other vessels at this time were
from six to eight miles behind and
Admiral SIMPSONS flag ship, the New
York. was not in sight. At Hos the
Brooklyn, slightly injured by the hail
of Spanish shells, stopped firing and
the chase began. The men came on
deck and began to cheer, never needing
the whistle of the Spanish shells. They
cheered for Schley and Clark and the
Oregon, and the Oregons men returned
the cheer. The chase was in full force
at 1855. The Colon, at distance of
five miles. Rugged the shore, but Schley
ordered the Oregon to follow her. and
then, with the Brooklyn, he made a
straight course for Cape Cruz, around
which she would have to steer on a
long detour to get away.
In an hour the Brooklyn had gained
appreciably and so had the Oregon, and
Commodore Schley signalled over to
the Oregon to try one of those thir-
teen-inch railroad trains on her" There
was a terrible roar as the big shell
went by the Brooklyn, but then a
hearty cheer, as the big thing struck
the water close astern of the Colon,
four miles away. Another was tried,
which reached the mark, and there
were more cheers. Then the Brooklyn
opened her forward and starboard
eight-inch guns. and one shell was seen
to go through the Colon at the top of
her armored belt.
At los, both the Brooklyn and the
Oregon were pounding away at the
Colon. and in another ten minutes,
after returning the fire in a desultory
sort of way and rapidly losing ground,
she turned toward shore. At Ills she
hauled down her flag. and, with yells
of delight, the men poured out of the
turrets of the ships.
AS the big ships moved in on the
quarry, the smoke of the New York
could be seen coming over the horizon
from the east, but she was fully
twelve miles away. A boat was lower

WINFIELD SCOTT SCHLEY.
Story of the Life of the Fighting Ad-
miral.


Admiral Winfield Scott Schley is a
thorough type of the American fighter.
From early boyhood until the present
day his proweSS has always been sec
ondary to the more peaceful avocationS,
yet he lacks none of the polish, the
higher education, the gentle courtesy
and the finesse of the most cultured
men, whose lives have been cast on
shore.
Admiral Schley's characteristic is
thoroughness. He is superior in every
thing he undertakes He is a leader
of leaders, yet a follower when neces-
sity demands. In every branch of ma
val knowledge he is an expert. His
training at Annapolis was. merely the
polish given to what seemed an innate
idea of every detail. for he readily
grasped theories and facts that usually
keep the student hammering away
constantly. Yet it is a remarkable fact
that study to the cadet was irksome.
His disposition was entirely too lively
for the ironclad restraint, and he was
willing to leave the academy on sew
eral occasions. but was compelled to
remain for the reason that he was a
leader in all the games and sports, and
should he drop out, his place could not
readily be filed, and for defeat to come
to his companions he was willing TO
pull through the studies
In demonstration of his faculty for
acquiring knowledge. the fact is
pointed out by his friends that within
a very few years of his graduation,
young Schley was back at the academy
as instructor in languages. and he was
renowned as the most thorough lin
guist in the entire government service.
His knowledge was acquired during
cruises in foreign waters. His expert

Sampson, corroborate the following

dated at Juragua, Cuba, July 4, 1888,
and reads as follows:
When the Spanish fleet was sighted,
the Iowa was swinging a mile further

which was out of repair, while the In

The following generation took part in
the revolutionary war, serving with
great distinction. John Schley. the ad-
mirafS father, had an enviable record
in the war of 1872.
One of the elder Schley's most inti-
mate friends was General Winfield
Scott. and the younger children learned
to almost worship that great fighter
and to early in life wish TO emulate
his example. On the other hand, Gen
eral Scott openly expressed the opinion
that John Schley was one of the brav-
est men in his command.
How He Got His Name.
In 1889 the Schley family lived in
Fredericksburg, Nd, and there the boy
was born who now carries the name of
the famous old general. When he was
christened, Father John Schley is said
to have remarked: Eyes, Winfield
Scott Schley; and NAV he. live to be
as true and brave a man and as great
warrior."
Winfield was too long a name for
family use, and the boy was nicknamed
''Scotty" by his father and it was later
taken up by all his friends, and still
remains.
The boy was given the choice of
studying for the army or navy, and he
chose the latter. After his graduation
from the Annapolis academy he was
assigned as midShipman on the Nj
agara and ordered TO China. Here he
first displayed his remarkable linguistic
abilities. and was the leader in all
escapades ashore in which the middies
and petty officers were involved.
Returning from the cruise, he re-
manned in the Union navy and served
during the entire war. with the excep
ton of three days. He obtained leave
of absence for this period during 1863
and slipped down into Maryland and
captured a prize. Miss Rebecca Frank
lin, one of the most beautiful girls in
the state. and a member of one of the
oldest families in Virginia, suddenly
changed her name during that leave of
absence, and Schley returned to duty.
Mrs. Schley is still considered one of
the reigning beauties of the American
navy, although she has been married
thirty-siX years.
His Professional Record.
The following year Lieutenant Schley
was commissioned to go to the Chincha
islands of China and put down an in
surrection among the natives who had
attacked the house of the American
consul and wrecked much government
property. Lieutenant Schley had only
about 100 marines when he landed. but
the Chinese thought there was a whole
army, for when the young men went
into action ne was prepared TO fight and
trouble resulted Immediately for the
opposite side. His visit to the islands
had an excellent effect for residence
in the vicinity has since been much
more salubrious for foreigners.
1t was in 1868, while in command of
the Benicia, that the young warrior
again got into warlike action. He was
sent up the Salu river in Korea against
a motley lot of natives who were little
better than pirates. History does not
contain much information about that
trip, but the uprising was Quilted after
more or less mortality on the Korean
side and probably an abundance of the
former.
Commander Schley was then consd-
cred a gray-haired veteran. He was
only about 30 years old, in 1871, but he
