General Henderson Declines to Out
line His Future Policy.

Milwaukee, June 5.-The Journal to-
day publishes an interview with Gen.
D. B. Henderson of Iowa, in which he
expresses gratitude for the efforts of
Wisconsin congressman in his behalf as
candidate for the speakership. In re
gard to the report that he is an anti
imperialist, Gen. Henderson said this is
not the time for individuals to fix poll
cies.
See where We are said Gen. Hen
dersOn, land then see whether it is
reasonable for US to attempt to antici-
pate the conditions which time brings.
We are now in a period of transition
and readjustment and congress will not
meet until next December-unless,
which is not likely, there should be a
special session-aud we should not at
tempt to forestaIl future action which
the light of developments may show to
be advantageous and proper.
What we all should do a this time
is to steadfastly support President Nc
Kinley. AS the chief executive he is in
possession of hourly acquired informa-
ton as to the ever changing conditions.
This he in time will give over to US,
have no doubt and in the meantime
believe the duty of US all is to give him
our firm, loyal support. That is all I
care to say-in fact I have said more
than I had intended saying"

TRUTH COMES OUT
About the Arms Furnished to
the FilipinOs.

New York, June 5.-A special to the
Journal from Washington says:
Captain Joseph Henry Grimes has
made a complete confession of the part
he took in aiding the Filipinos and the
document is in the possession of the
government He is a British subject,
born in Hong Kong 90 years ago. He
was office manager at Shanghai for L.
Seize1 & Co., and there became ac-
quainted with the agents of the Fill
Pine rebellion.
On June Grimes firm contracted
with Agoncillo to supply 5000 Mauser
rifles, two Maxim guns, one million
rounds of cartridges, the steamer Pasig,
provisions, etc, at cost of 813S, OOO
The outfit was seized by the British
authorities at the request of the Span
ish consul.
Then, says Grimes, B. F. Sylvester, a
member of his firm, agreed with Ed
ward Biddle, American consul at Can
ton, to send the arms to that point by
means of a false sale to the Chinese
government. The Chinese viceroy was
to reject the arms, but, as it turned out,
he seized 500 rifles and kept them to
suppress a rebellion in his own terri
tory.
The local authorities refusing permis-
sion for the Pasig to sail, she was
transferred from British to American
register by Consul Bedloe, her named
changed to the Abbey. and Bedloe clear
ed her and the supplies for the Filipi-
nos at Singapore. On August q the
Abbey, flying the American flag and
commanded by Captain G. w. Ellis, an
American citizen, left Whampoa, Is
miles from Canton. On board was
Lewis Leonard Etzel, the American cit
izen whose mission it was to teach the
Fihpinos how to use the Maxim guns.
Sylvester, Grimes asserts. falsely told
him that the facts about the expedition
were known to Admiral Dewey and
Consul General Wildman.
The cargo was taken to Santangas,
so miles south of Manila, and turned
over to the insurgent governor of that
town. 1t consisted of 496 rifles, 100000
cartridges, two Maxim guns and 1000
rounds of Maix ammunition.
After discharging cargo, Grimes went
to Bacoor, where he met Aguinaldo,
who said he wanted more ammunition.
Grimes returned to Hong Kong, but
with no success. Sylvester visited
Aguinaldo and failed to conclude a con-
tract with him to procure arms in Ger
many
1T will be seen by the above state
ment,'' Grimes says, that both Syl-
vester and EtzeI plotted on American
soil against the American govern
ment.''
The Abbey was seized about Septem-
Der 25 last by the American revenue
cutter McCulloch, which was attached
to Admiral Dewey's fleet. Grimes was
arrested in Manila on November 5.

DEWEY ON BOARD.
Admiral Prepares to Sail For
Home Tuesday.

Hong Kong, June 5.-Admira1 Dewey
left the Peak hotel and returned to the
Olympia yesterday. This morning he paid
farewell calls to the governor, Gen. Cas-
goigne and the commanders of the war
ships in the harbor.
Admiral Deweys health has been con-
siderably benefited by his residence at
the Peak. He has refused all social invi-
tations and has taken a perfect rest. He
appears somewhat haggard from the ef-
fects of the continual strain he has been
under and of the climate.
The Olympia will sail at 4 o'clock to-
morrow afternoon, but Admiral Dewey
will not give a farewell dinner, nor will
he accept one.
It is hoped that the quiet, change and
the voyage will restore him to health by
the time he reaches New York. The de-
tails of the ports at which he will call are
still undecided. but it is probable that
stops will be made at Singapore and Col
ombo. The admiral seems anxious to
avoid all display and merely to seek rest
His officers and crew are elated at the
prospect of a return home.

Beast in q Circus.

Lynn, Mass, June 5-Frank Ducey,
a 10 year old boy, was frightfully lace

throughlthe bars of a cage at the circus
grounds early this morning.
The animal sunk his sharp claws into
the boys face, and when the keeper
sprang to the cage the leopard had both
front paws through the bars and was
holding the boys head fast. The ami

blows over the head before he released
his hold on the boy.
He was taken to the hospital, where
it was necessary to cauterize the

HIS DREAM JAGS.

the only man of the group who had not
yet told a story. 1T doesn't bother me
at the time, but the after-effects are
terrible. The least indulgence disorders

my Will and without the slightest desire

sprees, and suffered such torments aft

IN the most peculiar way. Fully tWo
years had elapsed since l had taken u
drink, when one night l dreamed that I
was with a party of four gentlemen in a
large room. apparently part of a restau-
rant. why we had assembled I could
not tell, but 1t all seemed perfectly ma
tural, as things do in dreams. We were
celebrating some great event and We're
IN Jubilant' spirits. AS we talked and
Joked, the drinks went round n round.

sion seemed to justify a lapse, and l cast
caution to the winds. / conversed with
s-rang b~rilliancy. and so did my COM
panlons. one of them was an elocution-
lst, and recited ~threadbare old poems in
a way that made them new and thrilling.
Another sang ballads in a wonderful
tenor voice, sweet as distant bells. l
myself tossed off a shower of sparkling
eplgrams and said things worthy Of
shakespeare. All the While we drank.
AS the hours passed my comrades one by
one succumbed and Slid under the table.
At last the elocutionist and I We're left
alone, II he was just beginning Mare

fantastic vision: then / essayed to get
up. The instant I'stirred l was aware of
a splitting headache. My eyes throbbed
like Wounds; l had a dark-broWn taste
in my mouth, and a hi leous, iniescribable
nausea. In brief, the old symptoms were
all on hand. 1t took me a week to re-
cover. and my doctor unbranded me con-
tinually. l did not dare to tell him the
truth, for fear he'd think l was crazy.
