Is especially mentioned for its perform
ance under Major Bell of some extra
hazardous duty in making a feint. OF
the Nebraska regiment General Mac
Arthur says:
In consequence of its advanced posi-
tion at the pumping station, the Ne
braska regiment has been engaged in
series of minor operations which have
resulted in large amount of arduous
and dangerous work, all of which have
been cordially and well performed by
this excellent regiment"
The attempt Of the natives within the
city, assisted by the insurgents out
side, to rise within the city Of Manila
on the 23d of February. is described as
formidable movement. General Mac
Arthur says the situation was made
embarrassing by the fact that num-
ber of insurgent soldiers had succeeded
in getting back of the American lines,
and he shows how the Montana regi-
ment, accompanied by Major Ma1loy,
materially aided in suppressing the
demonstration. High commentator is
bestowed upon the little army gunboat
Laguna de Bay, commanded by Cap
tain Randolph, and upon the volunteer
signal corps detachment under Capt.
Edgar Russell. Under this head it is
shown how the signal corps made it
possible to fully develop the co-opera-
tion of the navy by it's system. The
quartermaster and subsistence depart
ments are praised as completely sue
cessful in every detail.
Says the report:
THE supply of American soldiers en-
gagged in active field operations in these
distant shores with choice fresh beef
from Australia, the very best quality
of fresh vegetables from the United
States, with condensed water, together
with all other parts of the ration in
abundant quantities, good quality, IS
certainly just cause for congratula-
iton to all concerned"
After taking the medical department
into his chapter of commendation,
General Macarthur speaks of the re-
suit of the work of the American troops
as follows:
1.-THE punishment inflicted by the di-
vision may be estimated from the fact
that the official report has been of the
sctual burial of 374 insurgents killed in
action during the month. The. enemy's
wounded were, as a general rule, sue
cessfully removed, so that it is mpos-
sible to speak with any accuracy in
that respect, but it is assumed that
three wounded to one killed would be
reasonable estimate
The report concludes with special
tributes to the enlisted men first,
to the general officers, and lastly to the
staff.

Admiral Dewey is in no sense sick

be after spending year in the trop-

Surgeon Page was asked if Admiral
Deweys responsibility had weighed
heavily on him.
II think not" he answered, 'and it
will be found that he has just as much
nerve as the morning he fought the bat
tie of Manila bay. He is man who
carries responsibility lightly and does
not let it break him down."
Asked if he had prescribed for Dewey
Of late, Surgeon Page said:
mo, he has no need for prescrip-
tions. During the last year he has not
once asked for a prescription or taken
medical advice except In a casual way.
If he wants anything he sends down to
the ships apothecary and gets it. His
habits are so regular that he needs lit
tie or no medicine.

the head of affairs" said Surgeon
Page, when asked as to the reports of
friction with the German naval officers.

The Feature Of the Day Was the Civic
Parade.
Washington, May 24.--The feature of
the second day of the national. jubilee
celebration in this city was the civic
parade this evening. 1t consisted of all
the fraternal, civic and trade organiza-
tions of the city, together with long
procession of floats.
The parade passed through the court
of honor where President Mckinley, his
cabinet and a distinguished company
reviewed it from a stand in front of
the White house grounds. The parade
was over an hour passing the reviewing
stand.
After the Civic parade there was a
floral procession of flower decorated
carriages, but these were few in num-
ber and this feature was consequently
a disappointment to the crowd.
