messed a greater pyrotechnic and cleo
trieal display than that with which the
return of Admiral Dewey was cele-
brated in the harbor and waters sur
rounding the island of Manhattan to-
night.
No more picturesque spectacle has
been presented to such crowds gath
cred on both shores of the north river
than that of the great hulks Of the bat

GUILD CLAIMS FRAUD.
Says Bates Managers Have
Falsified Caucus
Figures.

Boston, Sept. 29.-The managers Of
General Guilds canvass for the lieuteA-
ant-governorship tonight issued a state
ment. claiming that the county returns
as received by them differ materially
from those published by Speaker Bates
headquar ters, and claiming that many
unpledged delegates were placed in the
Bates columns, whereas they rightly
belong to the Guild column.
Assertions are made that in many in
stances returns have been falsifled.
The statement contains figures from
Franklin county, wherein General Guild
is credited with SO delegates. Bates 1e,
and unpledged 10. The claim is also
made that recount in Suffolk county
mere 4ses Guilds figures by 26. In con-
clusion the statement says that it re-
Quires the unpledged delegates to nom
mate either candidate.
A recount of the votes cast at the re-
publican caucus In ward %, Roxbury
district, gives the delegation of 10 to
Guild for lieutenant governor, and not
to Bates, as was at first thought. This
reduces Bates majority by rs votes, and
the vote in the city of Boston now
stands: Bates $50, Guild 113.

there should be such an uprising of the
country. The mayor presented the adj
miral with a diamond and gold badge
made to commemorate the public re-
ception of him.

Resent AdmiraPs Statements.
Santiago de Cuba, Sept 29.-The Am
orleans in Santiago de Cuba celebrated
Dewey day this afternoon. The govern
ment buildings and residences of Am
orleans We're gaily decorated. There was
a miniature naval parade of yachts and
tugs, together with a general blowing
of whistles and diseharging of cannon
crackers. This evening an elaborate
display of fireworks was carried out on
lighters in the harbor.
The arrival of numerous Americans
since the raising of the quarantine
made the celebration possible. The
Cubans, however, did not join in the
celebration. They are inclined to resent
Admiral Dewey's reported statement
that the Filipinos are more capable of
self government than the Cpbans.

Peculiar Conduct of an Officer Of the

John F. Curran, a stevedore, appeared
before Judge Treadwell yesterday on a
charge of failure to provide for his chill

of affairs was disclosed.
The complaint was sworn to last April
by E L. Wadham, then secretary and
now special officer of the Eureka Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
to time as Curran had agreed to pay q
certain sum for the support of his wife
and children. When the case was called
yesterday Wadham appeared in support
of the husband, much to the surprise of
the court.
Curran wore patent leather shoes and
had diamond ring on his finger and n
diamond stud in his shirt front. Mrs.
Curran was in rags, and her 12-year old
bow was in a similar condition. Wadham
thought that 81 so per week was enough
to support the wife and children, and
when the Judge asked him why he at
first appeared as prosecutor against the
husband and now defended him ne re-
piled that he thought the wife had been
getting enough money from Curran. The
Judge denounced Wadham for his pccu-
liar conduct and asked Curran why he
did not pawn his diamonds to support his
family CurraH laughed and the Judge
ordered him into custody, fixing his bonds
In $1,000.
Later in the day writ of habeas corpus
was applied for in the Superior Court to
obtain Curran's release.
Z. L. Wadham says that the warrant in
the case was served by the California So
cietyy for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children.
