THE OLYMPIA
Leaves ViIIefranche on the Cruise to
Gibraltar.

Villefranche, France, Aug. 31.-(By
Associated Press. Admiral Dewey re-
mained on board the Olympia this
morning. In brilliant sunshine and with
fresh breeze blowing, the prepara-
tions for sailing commenced at 3:15,
when the launches were hauled up.
Interested crowds on shore watched
preparations and admired the activity
of the crew.
AT $3.50 the mail orders left the quay
with the latest mails, the anchors were
hoisted, and at o'clock sharp the
cruiser sailed out of the harbor for
Gibraltar.
The admiral says he is in perfect
health. He expects to stay Gibral-
tar until Sept. II. He expressed pleas
ure previous to his departure at his
stay here, and breads his countrymen's
reception. The admiral's visit here
was the most interesting in the history
of the harbor.

HALSTEAD HOTl
The Able Editor Gets Into a Row
With a Cincinnati Audience.

Murat Halstead, the former editor Of
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
got into an angry contention with his
audience at Cincinnati, Thursday night,
and his friends had to hurry him out of
a back door to keep him from being
assaulted.
The anti-Imperialists of Cincinnati,
who not only favor the independence of
the Philippines, but side with the
Philippines in the present war, have
an organization, have rented building
on Vine street for lectures, and keep
the question prominently before the
people. They invited Halstead, who
was known to be in the employ of the
Administration, to deliver a lecture to
them on the Philippine question. Mr..
Halstead has written two books and
numerous newspaper articles on the
question, but his language has been so
bitter and his statements so unreliable
that he appears more as a scold than a
historian. His lecture was no exception
to the rule, and his denunciations of
those opposed to him, stirred up a
storm, and several members of the
society appeared with Halstead's book
and Senate Reports and refuted several
of his most emphatic statements. Hal
stead got worked up into white heat,
and when young man rose in his seat,
and said he hoped Aguinaldo would
sweep Otis into the sea, Halstead
denounced him as traitor, rushed at
him with clinched fists and would have
assaulted him, had not friends kept
them apart. Others rose to denounce
Halstead, the women shrieked, men
cried murder, traitor, etc., and friends
of Halstead had to hustle him out of a
back door to prevent trouble.
Halstead's reckless statements, and
passionate defamation show him to be
the wrong man to be put up as teacher
of the people, but when he denounced
that young man as a traitor, who said
he hoped our army flor that's what he
meant, would be driven into the sea,
and rushed at him to knock the treason
out of him, his heart was right. Amer.
leans can honestly differ as to policies,
but no man who wishes evil to our
armies or our flag, can be other thar
an enemy to our country.

PHILIPPINE VETERANS
OF Idaho, North Dakota and Wyom.
Ing Regiments.

San Francisco, Aug. 31.-(By Associ-
ated Press. AT 9 o'clock this morning
the 1888 officers and men of the Idaho,
First North Dakota and First Wyom-
ing regiment of volunteer infantry and
a battalion of the Wyoming Light ar
tillery, who arrived yesterday from
Manila, disembarked from the trans
port Grant at the Folsom street wharf
and marched to the Presidio, where
they will remain in camp until muster
ed out of the service. The reception
accorded the returning volunteers was
hearty and noisy.
The returning men were escorted by
the First California volunteers and
five batteries of the Third artillery.
At the head of each column rode the
governors of their respective states and
their staffs, who later reviewed the
troops.

SMUGGLERs ARE CAPTURED DAILY.
Crews of Two British Ships Seized

American Prisoners
Fare Well.

Manila, Sept. 4.-Many Spanish pris-
oners are escaping from the Filipinos
and bringing into the American lines
stories of hard treatment. They agree
that the Filipinos are exceedingly short
of rations, and that large section of
their troops is reduced to the use Of
homemade black powder.
The natives are trying every scheme
to get food and munitions from Ma
nilla. Daily arrests are made for at
tempts to smuggle contraband of war
through the American lines. In one
case a casco, with a cargo of bamboo
poles, was overhauled, and the poles
were found full of rice.
Two British vessels, the Lacson and
the Nero, were driven by stress of
weather into the harbor of Dagupan.
the northern terminus of the Dagupan
railway The crews were imprisoned,
but on their protesting that they were
British subjects the insurgent authori-
ties permitted one man, named Ed
wards, to come to Manila, promising
to release the crew of the Lacson if

sui at Manila a statement establish
ing the nationality of the crew. A SIM
liar concession was made to the crew
of the Nero.
Edwards says he saw several Ameri-
can prisoners who were better fed than
the Spaniards or the Filipino soldiers.
Moreover, they were not compelled to
work, as the Spanish prisoners are.
A force of native police has begun to
patrol the city of Manila, cooperating
with the provost guard, whose lack of
knowledge of the language and the re-
sorts of native criminals had given
opportunities for burglary, an indus
| try which has been flourishing of late.
The new force includes many members
| of the old force and some insurgents
who had grown tired of fighting. 1t
has already done good work in running
| down native criminals.
The American secret service recently
found Filipino spy in Calamba, and
| shot him down when he resisted ar
| rest.
