Adm. Dewey evinced a desire to
shake hands with all the naval officers
and introduce them to the mayor.
He almost hugged Rr Adm. Schley
and he patted Capt. Cogh!an on the
back. As Dewey greeted Schley, the
crowd sent up cheer after cheer for
Dewey and schley.' AS soon as the
greetings were over, the mayor began
his speech presenting the city's loving
cap.

Dewey went about shaking hands with

New YORK, Oct. 9.-The functions
and the rcceptio ons that have figured
so prominently in the daily life OF
Adm. Dewey since his arrival off Sandy
Hook last Tuesday morning have
proven almost too much for his
strength. The admiral has been un-
der such Il perpetual physical and
nervous strain that he is now almost
exhausted. Saturdays ceremonies
were the most taxing on his strength
OF any that he has yet to undergo,
and he appeared Sunday looking pale
and worn, despite the fact that ne re-
tired early Saturday evening and en-
joyed a good nights rest
The admiral Sunday was too IA
tipued TO do more than remain in his
room the greater part Of the time and
rest quietly. At 10 o'clock Adm. Dewey
had an engagement to meet the Chi
caro Dewey committee and before he
came down sent a message to Mayor
Carter Harrison requesting that he be
not expected to shake hands with the
members Of the committee. The ad-
miral explained this request by saying
that he had had so much hand-shaking
on Saturday that his hand panied him
severely.
Adm. Dewey rose early Sunday
morning, however, sending for n cup
of tea at 6 o'clock. Shortly after, he
ordered a light breakfast, which was
sent to his apartments, and which he
ate alone. When the admiral had fin

HE DESIRES PEACE.

Govern mental CUmmiss on.

MANILA, Oct. 2-Aguinaldos third
attempt to shift his difficulties into
the field OF diplomacy is a repetition
of the other one or two with an inn
possible endc vor to obtain some sort
of recognition OF his sO-called govern
ment. The Filipino ENJOYS had an
hours conference with G,n. OILS sun
day morning. They brought from
Aguinaldo message that he desired
peace and wished 10 send IA civilian
governmental commission to discuss
the question. Gen. Otis replied that
II was impossible for him to recognize
Aguinaldo', government in anv way.
They presented letter from Agui-
nado as ''President of the republic"
which was Largely a repetition of his
recent appeals for recognition. Gen.
OIis informed them that while he was
willing 10 correspond with Aguinaido
as general of the insurgent forces, lie
must positively decline To recognize
him as president of the civil govern
mcnt.
WASHINGTON Oct 3.-A dispatch from
Gen. Oiis was received at the war de
partment Monday morning, giving an
account Of his meeting with the insur-
gent envoys. Gen. Otis said that the
interview with Aguinaldo's representa-
tivcs indicated that the leaders were
maneuvering with n view TO securing
recognition OF the insurgent govern
mcnt. All such Overturcs were reject
ed and the envovs were informed
that the only thing the United
States would recognize was white
flag, and the grounding Of arms. He
also informed the cnvoys that such ca
pitulation on the part OF the insur-
gents should come quicn,y in order TO
avoid the consequences Of active war
as the United States did not in;cnd to
permit any delay in the matter. The
course of Gen. OTIS is approved at the
war department.
Secretary Root took the dispatch
from Gen. Otis over to the white house
for the presidents consideration.
