DEWEY Is COMING HOME
DEPARTS FROM MANILA AMIDST THE
BOOMING GUNS AND BRASS BANDS.
Enthusiastic sailors on American and
British ships Cheer the Oiympia-Mer-
chant Vessels DIP Their FIags---The Adj

Manila The cruiser Olympia, with
Admiral Dewey on board, left here on
her homeward journey to the United
States at 4 O'Clock Friday afternoon.
AS she steamed away the Oregon, Bait
imore and Concord fired an admiral's
salute At the first shot the band on
the flag ships after deck played
lively air and her white clad sailors
crowded the decks and gave tremend-
uous cheer.
AS the Olympia passed the Oregon
the crew of that ship gave cheers for
the Olympians, who responded by
throwing their caps so high that doz-
ems Of them were left bobbing in the
wake Of the cruiser Then followed
the noisest hour known in this harbor
since the battle which linked its name
with that of Dewey. The din of guns
and brass bands echoed through the
smoke, a fleet of steam launches Shrek
cd their whistles, the musicians Of the
Baltimore played Home, Sweet Home, >
her flags signalled Good bye, and
those of the Oregon said Pleasant yoy-
age"
The merchant vessels in these waters
dipped their flags, the ladies on the
decks of these vessels of the fleet, wav-
handkerchiefs and the great black
British cruiser Powerful, which lay
the furtherest out saluted the Olympia
The latter band played ''God Save
the Queen and to this the crew of
the Powerful responded with hearty
cheers for the Olympia. The last mu-
Eto heard from Admiral Deweys ship
was "Auld Lang Syne.," while the
guns from the forts at Cayite and from
the Monterey on guard off Paranquay,
too far to be audible, puffed with
clouds Of smoke.
The Olympia was disappearing past
Corrigdor island, when a battery be-
fore the walled city spoke Manila's last
word of farewell.
Admiral Dewey sat on the deck OF
the Olypima and received the adieus of
his friends during most of the day.
The launch of Maj Gen. Otis was the
first to arrive alongside the cruiser
and afterwards the admiral landed and
called upon the United States Phillip
pine commissioners. Admiral Dewey
is enthusiastic over his home going,
but when mention was made of the
welcome to be extended him he said
he appreciated the friendship of his
countrymen but hoped they would
not be too demonstrative. He intends
to go directly to his home at Mont
peIier, VT and live there. On it be-
ing said that the people wanted him
to go home by way Of San Francisco
and across the continent, the admiral
replied: "If l was twenty years
younger and had political ambitions
would not miss that chance.
Speaking of the situation Admira.
Dewey said:' 4 believe we are neal
the end. The insurgents are fast go
ing to pieces. The sending of g
third commission shows they believe
this commission means business.
Capt. Walker, Of the Concord. the
last of the commanders in battle
here, went to the admiral and said
Don't leave me behind.

has stopped shipment of small arms
for the Filipinos. The arms were in

tigers cases always draw a crowd of
interested spectators. Every blind
tiger in tire city dances attendance on
the court 80 that when his time comes.
as he knows it will sooner or later, he
will have the benefit of the experience
of his fellow sinners along similar
lines. Friday morning the case Of Mr..

The tiger who had preceded him had a
jury and was fortunate enough to hang
It Mr. Kolb had an idea of course,
ne wouId be able to do the same and
those acquainted with the iurymen
thought like he thought. The law
yers in the case evidently thought the
same in fact they knew that the jury
would never convict a blind tiger un-
less the evidence was Of the very
strongest kind, and that they did not
have They saw that they would be
only wasting time to go to trial with
the jury they had and they took the
only recoursc-which was to throw up

and c. II Alexander, then asked the
court 10 enter noll PROSE-, which
was done and all the blind tiger

The colossal statue on the cOnfeder-
atR monument in this city was the sub
ject Of conversation among several citi-
zens recently and the inquiry was made
as to whether the statue was ficticious
OF chiseled from the physique of some
Mississippian One gentleman said
that 1t was chiseled from photograph
of the late Colonel Geo. NJ Govan,
then secretary of state. He said, if his
memory served him correctly, the
ladies who were in charge of the build

an to don the uniform Of a confederate
soldier, and stand for photograph as
q physical model for the sculptor, but
not with the intention of having his
face reproduced in the statue, which
was 10 have ficticious face. The press
correspondent has a faint recollection
that when the sculptor came to chisel
the face and head, he used as his
model photograph of the Hon. j.
NJ Stone. then governor of the state,
which friend gave him without the
knowledge of the governor or any one
else at the time. This photograph
was taken many years ago, while
Colonel Stone was helping With his
sword to write the military history
of his country. He then wore whis-
ksrs, but for the past twenty years he
has only worn mustache. The con-
tederate monument stands in the south
end of til capitol yard, and is pecu-
iarly antique and differs materially
from other structures Of its kind.

taxes from all these banks under the

panies of the old Mississippi National
Guard are slow to respond to the circu-
lar sent out by the adjutant general
several weeks ago, requiring them to
reorganiZe their commands and report
to the adjutant general. The adjutant
general has been very much annoyed
by this dilatoriness on the part of com
pany officers, especially as he had nu-
merous inquiries and requests for new
companies which have organized and
are anxious to enlist in the guard. 1t
is the desire of the adjutant general to
get all the companies of the old guard
back into the organization if they de-
sire to come in. but his patience is
wearing out He has issued the follow
iEg:
General Order 304
Whereas, General order sol, issued
from this Office direct to commanding
officers Of companies composing the
Mississippi National Guard, has not
been wholly complied with, now, there
fore:
II. All company commanders of the
Mississippi National Guard who do not
report their intention to reorganize
their commands and have not filed
applications so to do, with the adjutant
general Of the state at Jackson by the
18th day of June, 1899, such company
commanders shall be considered mus
tered out Of the service, and their
places filled by new companies now ap.
plying for admission.

"Adiutant General
Adjutant General Henry says it is
necessary for these responses to be in so
that arrangements can be made for the
annual encampment and for his report
to the legislature. It is customary to
have the encampment in Angus or Sep
tember. He cannot tell when the gem
eral election Of military officers will be
held.
DR.. F. L. FuIgham, special inspector
for the state board of health, has re-
tunred from visit to Maynard's rail
road camp, on the Illinois Central,
near Terry, and about twenty miles
south of this city. where he reports
having found thirty we'll defined cases
of smallpox. It was reported here the
first of the week that there were suspi
cious cases of some sort of breaking
ont disease" at these camps, and DR..
Fulgham was sent to investigate with
the above result All of the cases
are among the employees Of the camp
and does not seem to have caused
any excitement among the others, be-
ing of the usual mill type that has
appeared at different places over the
state, and which the board of health
seems to have had no trouble in
stamping out
The board has taken charge of the
camp, and will use their best efforts to
confne the disease to its present quar-
ters. Report comes to the board that
there are similar cases of sickness at
other points along the Illinois Central
south of here chiefly among the en-
ployees of the road and in camps of the
men who have contracts for raising
the road bed between this city and
McComb, and a close inspection of all
the camps will be made by the state
inspectors.
