Why Dewey Needs a Large Number
of GunboatS.

New York, March Ga dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says: The
necessity of suppressing filibustering
expeditions is the cause of Admiral
Dewey asking that the department
send him more vessels of light draught
On account of the number of Philip
pine islands, the natives are able to
transport from the Asiatic coast a
large quantity of munitions of war in
small schoOners. Admiral Dewey wants
a large number of warships at his dis
posal which can follow such vessels
into shallow water. The Wheeling has
already started for Manila, and the
Vixen will go by the last of the month.
The department may send others.
The authorities were glad to hear
that General Lawton would arrive at
Manila about March 10, as ne will then
be put in control of the military opera
tons, thus giving General Otis an OPP
portunity to aid in the Philippine COM
mission, as we'll as take care of the
many questions constantly arising
After General Liswtons arrival, one Of
the brigadier generals at Manila will
probably be sent to Iloilo to relieve
General Miller, who will go on the re-
tired list on March q.

Washington, March 6.-With refer
ence TO the number of deaths from var
ioloid, or smallpox, mentioned in Cen
eral Otis weekly mortality report, sur
geon General Sternberg said that there
would be no additional precautions
taken in connection with the spread OF
the disease. Everything possible mas

been vaccinated, and each regiment
thoroughly searched for persons who
have not taken advantage of this guard
against SMALLPOX.
In one instance regiment was can

Activity of Rebels.

Activity of Rebels.
Manila, March 6.-The civil members
of the United States Philippine COM
mission who arrived here on Saturday
afternoon from Hongkong on the
United States cruiser Baltimore, landed
today and are now installed in quar-
tiers especially provided for them on
the Malate water front. While await
ing the arrival of Colonel Charles Den
by, formerly United States minister to
China, the other civil members of the
commission, they will devote their time
to sight, seeing and getting familiar
with local conditions. Until Colonel
DENLY arrives the commission will be
incomplete and can do nothing Off
cially.
The troops which arrived on Saturday
on the United States transport Senator,
and those that arrived yesterday on the
transport Ohio, are disembarking, and
all the preparations are being made to
proceed with an aggressive campaign
before the wet season sets in.
The rebels, anticipating the AmeT1-
can advance, are busy in throwing up
defenses in every direction, and it is
reported that they are levying men and
supplies in every province. As a result
great dissatisfaction prevails among
the tribes ordinarily unfriendly to the
TagaIos, particularly among the Flo
canos, who assert their desire to assist
in conquering the Tagalos if furnished
with arms.
The following order has been issued
regarding the movements of trans
ports:
The Arizona will sail for San Fran
cisco via Hongkong with all the sick
on March 8, the Newport, via Maya
saki, Japan, with all the returning Off
GERS and their wives, on March 10; the
Scandal, via Nagasaki with discharged
soldiers, on March II, and the Morgan
City, via Nagasaki, on March Il.

FINDINGS ON SIDE ISSUES.
'In addition to the charges in the
case of Law vs.. McCune. the following
matters were considered:
ID Representatives Redd, Belts, Tay-
Tor and Callister appeared before the
committee, by request, and testified of
matters which, upon investigation,
proved to be of such a nature as to
have no direct bearing upon the issues
under consideration.

names of Senator Whitney and Rep

Manila, March 6.-The rebels have

pany G, Second Oregon volunteers, was
taken in ambush. Two men were
wounded, but the organization held
their ground under a heavy fire until
the remainder of the company, assisted
by two companies of the First Nebras-

thirty and wounding several more.
Two battalicns of the Twentieth regu-

promised that between 5 and O'Clock
of the same day he would give me the
further sum of fourteen hundred and

for my vote for him for United States

90 Il charge that one R. w. Sloan, on
or about the 18th day Of February, 1899,
at Salt Lake City, state of Utah, acting
for A. w. McCune, tried to induce Sem
ator William G. Nebeker TO assist in the
election of said McCune for United

said Sloan stated to him, the said Will

ing used therefore and that he wanted
to see his (Sloan's) friends get some of
the same.

of February, 1899, at the city and coun-
ty of Salt Lake, state of Utah, one q.
G. Wins. who represented that he was
repeating the expression of one Fisher
Harris, campaign manager for the said
McCune, stated to Representative c..
NJ. Jackson that he, the said Harris,
had said to him, the said WINS, that
the Jackson vote must be obtained, no
matter what the expense" and that the
said Harris had told him to see the
said Jackson with the view to getting
his vote.

and belief, that some time within the
month last past, Representative Farr,

a time when he, the said Farr, was vot-
ing for the said MeCune, stated to Rep
resentative Cook, in substance, that he

beg leave to submit our report and
findings.
The hearing was commenced On
Monday, the goth day Of February,
1899. and continued daily tSunday eX-
cepted) until and including Thursday,
March 9. During that time large
mass of evidence has been taken, upon
a number of charges, wh:cn were Ter

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-03-07

we submit the following findings:
I'D In the matter OF the charge of
bribery preferred by Representative
Law against A. w. McCune, we find,
after the most careful consideration,
that the charge is not sustained by the
evidence.
"(2) In the Sloan Nebeker case, we
find that the said r. w. Sloan improp-
erly approached Senator W. C. Neb-
ekeG for the purpose of securing Neb-
eker's support for Mr.. McCune, but the
evidence does not establish an attempt
ed bribery or other public offense.
"(S) In the Ivins-Jackson case, the
evidence is not sufficient to justify the
conclusion that any attempt was made
to secure by improper means Mr.. Jack
sons vote. We believe that Mr.. Jack
son. in this matter, labored under an
honest, but mistaken impression.
90 The evidence in the Cook-Farr
matter is so remote that we deem it
irreievent to any issue under consid-
Grafton.
The Lapish charge-a supplemental
case-is one in which the evidence bear
ing upon the statement made is not
sufficient to warrant the finding of an
attempted bribery or other public Of
tense.
I'm conclusion, we record our en-
phatic diSapproval of the present meth
Cd of conducting senatorial campaigns,
particularly the practice, by senatorial
candidates, of opening headquarters,
employing numerous assistants, and en-
tertaining by means of free dinners,
free theatres. and other gratuitous dis
pensations. persons whose votes are de-
sired by the candidates at whose eX-
pense these things are provided. 1t not
only tends to evil, but it works evil,
and in the interests of good govern
ment, pure elections, and that higher
political morality which all good citi-
zens desire to see attained, the practice
should be abolished. We also condemn
the circulation of unfounded rumors de-
signed to injure the prospects of SEN
atorial candidates.
