HIS WISH oRATIFIED.
Dewey Wanted to Capture Manila Twenty
i've Years Ago.

Washington, Aug. 9.-An interesting
historical fact dated back to 1878, has
come to light in which Admiral Dewey
was the central figure. Dewey, then
a commander, was in command of the
United States steamer Narragansett on
the Asiatic station, having taken
charge of the vessel on March 1, 1873.
The vessel was on surveying duty when
the Virginus trouble was precipitated
and war with Spain seemed immi-
nent.
Commander Dewey wrote to the navy
department requesting that in case
war was declared he should be assigned
to the duty of capturing Manila. The
peace settlement of the controversy
with Spain avoided the necessity for a
hostile demonstration, but the inter
esting fact is that the doughty officer
had his eye on Manila over quarter
of century ago.
A search will be made for the letter
in the files of the navy department and
il found it is expected an effort will be
made by the citizens committee to
have it reproduced as souvenir of the
reception to be rendered Admiral
Dewey upon his arrival here.

LONG WAR PREDICTED
YAoUI INDIANS ARE PREPARED
FOR A DESPERATE CONFLICT.
Are Determined to Recover Their Lost
Country, and VIII XIII Everybody
Found in the Limits of Their
Old Possessions.

Austin, Texas. Aug. s.-A special
from Terrazas, chihuahua, Mexico,
says:
1T is going to take the Mexican gov
eminent long time and big force of
troops to quell the rebellion. The
Yaquis' are better prepared now than
ever before for long and bloody cam
paign. They are ali well fixed fnan-
cially, nearly all of them having saved
the 5000 per head which the Mexican
government paid them when they
signed the treaty of peace two years
ago. They have been making money
since then. too, and it is known to be
fact that they have been laying in
big supplies of arms and ammunition
for some time past.
ut has been common talk among
the American prospectors in the Yaqu
valley that the Indians were preparing
for another outbreak, but as the braves
have always shown friendly spirit
toward the Americans, it was thought
that they would not modest them when
they did go on the warpath
They are determined to recover all
their lost country, however, and will
kill anybody they find within the
limits Of their old possessions.
The special also reports that num-
Der of miners and ranchers in and near
Cocori had been slain and their prop
erly laid waste.

AGUINALDO'S APPEAL
ASKS THE POWERS TO RECoO-
NIZE FILIPINO INDEPENDENCE.
Declares that His People Had Conquered
the Sovereignty of the Islands From
Spain Before the Signing of
the Treaty of Paris.

Manila, Aug. 1O.-Aguinaldo has APP
pealed to the powers for recognition of
Filipino independence" in a docu-
ment dated from Tariac, July 81, and
signed by Bueucamihio 1t has been
received by all the foreign consuls in
Manila, with the request that they for
ward it to their respective govern
ments
The Filipinos use their old argument
that they had conquered the sovereign
ty of these islands from Spain before
the signing of the treaty of Paris, and
therefore Spain was in no position to
cede them to the United States. They
argue that the possession of the 1000
Spanish prisoners, captured with their
arms fighting against the Filipinos is
eloquent proof of the nullity of the
Spanish sovereignty, az when they sur
rendered SPANS hold was irrevocably
lost. The document says:
Replying to the Spanish commits
sions request to release the prisoners
because Spain no longer has political
interests in the islands, we asked for a
treaty of peace and friendship between
Spain and the Filipinos, whereby the
prisoners would be released, but the
commissioners refused, because it
would mean recognition of our indie
pendence. This is equivalent to saying
that the prisoners must stay in our
hands indefinitely, because their pos
session is our most efficacious method
to adjust our account with Spain and
obtain from here recognition of indie
pendence."
The Filipinos claim that they con
quered all the country except Manila,
and that they co-operated in securing
the latter's capitulation by surround
ing it at the cost of thousands of lives.
They also claim they conquered the
country unassisted except for sixty
guns that Admiral Dewey gave Agui.
naldo, and that Admiral Dewey and
the British and Belgian consuls recog.
nized the Filipino sovereignty by ask
ing for passes to visit the country.
They claim that they have letter,
from American consuls and general:
recognizing their sovereignty ant
promising that the Americans would
recognize their independence, (which
was at the disposition of the powers.
The Filipinos attempt to make CAPT
tai of the statement that Admira
Dewey had confidence that Aguinaldc
would observe and fulfill the rules O.
war, that he gave him 100 SPANS /
prisoners which the American navy
had captured
Finally, the Filipinos appeal to the
powers to influence Washington te
bring to termination 1.-THE unjust wal

Twenty-nIno Killed at bridgeport

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Aug. 9.-Twenty-
nine persons were killed in the trolley
car accident at 0ronoque Sunday. OF
the dozen injured only three are in a
serious condition. Examination of the
trestle and the wrecked car by the
coroner's jury and engineering experts
showed that the structure was perfect
ly sound, but that the wooden stringers
outside the rails were too low to serve
as guard rails, that the flanges of the
car wheels were unbroken and the
brake set. The crank was turned to
shut off the current.
